    I really wouldn't be surprised to see David West take a lot of his minutes

    God he hates the media. Every article I read about him there is a reference to them.. There is no way he could have survived in LA, Chicago or New York. Portland and SA are as small as it gets.

    But he really has a distrust and borderline hatred for the media. Not that I totally blame him. They all have an agenda. Even John Stockton got burned in SLC around his 2nd or 3rd year and rarely spoke to the local media again.

    It's always someone else's fault, never his own.

    Dude. We have a better team than last year. I could see us finishing ahead of the Spurs in the standings. Don't give up on our team.

    I just checked out their forum. You ain't kidding. 1 page of basketball talk and 5 pages of verbally kicking each other in the nuts. And as pissy as our OT Forum can get, most, if not everyone is pretty much over it by the next day. I guess 5 trophies can jade some fans and turn them into serious asshats.........

    And I'm being honest. I don't stand for crappy teams. I hated the Telfair Blazers from the day he arrived. Hated the Crawful Fatone collapse. When we suck, I get it, we suck. This year's team does not suck. This year's team is great.

    We were worried about LA going to LA all this time, but it turns out he would have been a perfect fit in LA-LA land.

    Do I think for a second that LaMarcus is going to be the guy that leads the Spurs to another NBA title? Not by a country mile. But everybody declaring his career D.O.A. in San Antonio and crowing about how awful he has looked in the preseason will probably be singing a different tune in May and June.

    For one thing people are foolish to bet against Popovich finding a winning a formula with that roster. Hell even if LaMarcus' statistics are down in the regular season this year, this team will probably be a very tough out in the playoffs when it counts. Aldridge doesn't even need to be their best player to be a serious threat in the playoffs, he can probably be the Spur's "Rasheed Wallace" and I wouldn't be shocked if they made it to the WCF.
