Kurt Thomas played in his first game as a Spur in their 89-74 win over the slumping Hawks. By all accounts, he filled the gap nicely and was a beast on the boards. Thomas had 9 boards and 2 blocks in only 13 minutes of action. "His defense and his rebounding were both outstanding," noted captain obvious...er....coach Popovich.
Keep an eye on Oberto's minutes. Oberto only logged 5 minutes in the Atlanta win, but it could have been because of matchups more than anything else. Whether Thomas becomes the starter depends on how he plays off of Manu and Duncan. He would be a beast on the pick and pop with Ginobili, but he also offers spacing for Duncan. Plus, he may just scare Oberto to the bench with his crazy eyes.
