Big Dog..more like Small Dog! He didn't do a damn thing in Philly..and I'm talking about when he WAS healthy! ::shakes head and rolls eyes:: There was so much talk about him how he's gonna make Sixers so much better and he did absolutely nothing! Don't know what he's going to do with the Spurs..but then again he may have the best season of his career there cause it seems whenever people leave the Sixers they always tend to do very well. So hey, this may be a very good thing for the Spurs in their time of need without Duncan..we shall see
Not being productive in Philadelphia should hardly be an indictment on Robinson; just look at the scoring averages of Stackhouse, Hughes, Van Horn and Webber in Philadelphia, compared to their scoring averages elsewhere. I'd attribute his lack of production in Philiadelphia more to Iverson, and his inability to be compatible with any other offensive player.

The Spurs take another step back! If they aren't careful they might not win it all this year. Big Dog.......what a joke!

Perhaps over the hill as a primary option -- but from the Spurs perspective they just added a ton of punch off the bench. Assuming the knees are remotely helathy, and I think they have to be at least ok or the Spurs wouldn't have done this, how many more potent bench scorers are you going to find out there?
Given my assessment of our chances this year, I don't think it really matters to us. Just a championship caliber team making one of those little moves to get an extra push in the playoffs. Similar to Miami picking up Steve Smith, Phoenix picking up JJ etc. You can tell the teams that are close + can smell it.

I think your right. Something is seriously wrong here, just doesn't add up.

1) The Spurs have an opening on their roster, we really don't. If/when our guys come back, we're already going to have quality players squeezed for minutes off the bench.
2) This is the sort of move you make when you're trying to seriously add a final piece to achampionship puzzle. You rarely see also ran teams loading up on players like that so that maybe they can make the second round.

Unless Brick, like Hndsm says, Duncan is a lot worse than the Spurs are letting on. In which case Big Dog is filler in hopes they can keep going until Timmy gets back.

Theres only one Big Dog and thats Antione Carr. Robinson is just an imatator.

first Zo was signed liked a month ago. More importantly the Heat had no legit back up for Shaq... Zo is more than insurance for them. Some how I don't see the Big Dog as areplacement for an ineffective Bob Horry. On the other hand when you options are Doleac and Wang Zhizhi...lala2pretty2005 said:

Theoretically, they added scoring. Theoretically, the Kings are better without Chris Webber than they are with him.
However, Glenn Robinson isn't a "jump off the bench and hit open shots" type of player. That's what the Spurs are hoping he can be, and I doubt it happens. In his prime, he was always a 35 minute, 18 shots per game type of player, not a 15 minute, 6 shots per game type of player. Can he hit open shots? Of course, but that's not a role that a life-long starter/gunner can easily step into.
He played well off the bench last night (3-4 from the field in 13 minutes, and even registered a block; 4 fouls, though?), but I just don't see that being a role that he's comfortable in, especially in the playoffs.
