Finley shouldn't be on when he's struggling..he's useless when he's not making a shot..
Tim is cooling down, which means we have no other options..

If Stuckey's hitting his jumper, you can just give up now.
this is how i imagine what will happen when the spurs play the lakers. guards unable to get into the paint because of a strong interior presence and three point shots not falling. with no help for duncan, the defense can pretty much contain duncan and rotate enough just to hope bowen and finley don't make their 3's.

Manu on the bench, Bruce on the bench and Ime playing
Pop rotations tonight are awful

Man, Udoka is gonna be in the doghouse for a looooooooooooooooooooooong time. I'm telling yall.
Terrible rotations by Pop tonight btw.
MaNu4Tres
12-02-2008, 10:37 PM
I don't understand Pop. There is no reason Vaughn or Ime should see the fucking floor unless we are hurt. He wants to find consistency with the rotation yet he acts like its a Church league and lets everyone play.

Why would that stupid fuck that calls himself the head coach of the Spurs even fuck with what was working. Mason has completely gone in the shit coming off the bench.
Hill gets 6 minutes after averging 18 a game in the last 5.

Because we have been playing bad too. So far we are a .500 team with AI (6-6) and in the 3rd quarter it looked like we might have been 6-7 with AI.

Duncan getting hacked on every fucking play and no call :pctoss
I'm sure that wasn't the reason why they loss.
These Spurs players are past their prime. An overhaul is needed for the Spurs.
Hill or Mason aren't gonna be the savior of that team, although I'm sure that's what the head honchos at Spurs thought. Time to rethink they way you do things.
In my opinion I think Pop has stayed there for too long. His questionable plays are showing quite clearly at this point.

Spurs are really disappointing me. No energy, and seem like they EXPECT to have the game handed to them. They need to wake up and play with a purpose. They can't do the usual coast until the rodeo road trip.

Final: Pistons 89, Spurs 77 (http://blogs.mysanantonio.com/weblogs/spursworld/2008/12/gameday_spurs_vs_pistons_1.html)
The Pistons outscored the Spurs 28-14 in the fourth quarter to claim an 89-77 victory Tuesday at the AT&T Center.
The Spurs shot 5 of 15 from the field (33.3 percent) in the fourth quarter. The Pistons shot 11 of 19 (57.9 percent).
The Pistons' Rasheed Wallace had a big second half. He had two points at halftime and finished with 19. He drilled three 3-pointers in the last 8:05 of the game.
Allen Iverson had 19 points and six assists for the Pistons.
Tim Duncan led the Spurs with 23 points and 13 rebounds, but had only one point in the fourth quarter. Tony Parker had 18 points and Manu Ginobili had 13. The Spurs' bench contributed only 13 combined points.
FOURTH QUARTER
The Pistons' defense is clamping down and the Spurs missed 8 of their first 10 shots of the fourth quarter. Wallace has eight points in the first nine minutes of the quarter including two 3-pointers and the Pistons lead 81-73 with 2:07 left.
A Wallace 3-pointer with 8:05 left in the game put the Pistons in front 68-66 - their first lead of the second half. That was part of an 11-1 run to put the Pistons up 74-67 - their biggest lead of the game.
This one is going to be tight heading down the stretch. An Iverson basket cut the Spurs' lead to 66-65 with 9:29 left in the game.
THIRD QUARTER
The third quarter seemed to go in spurts. The Pistons had a late 9-0 run that included six points by Wallace and the Spurs finished the period with a 63-61 lead.
The Spurs went on an 8-0 run that included two baskets by Parker and a 3-pointer by Bruce Bowen. They lead 60-50 with 3:13 left in the third quarter.
The Pistons went on a 10-2 run to cut the Spurs' lead to 52-50 early in the third quarter. Tayshaun Prince had three baskets in the run.
Matt Bonner hit a 3-pointer on the Spurs' first shot of the second half after the Spurs were 1 of 11 from 3-point range in the first half. A Duncan jumper put the Spurs in front 50-40 and gave them their first 10-point lead of the game.
SECOND QUARTER
The Spurs made a 15-2 late run in the second quarter to grab a 45-40 halftime lead. Duncan led the Spurs with 18 points.
The Spurs led despite not hitting from the outside. Roger Mason Jr. hit their first 3-pointer with 1:55 left in the half.
The Spurs outrebounded the Pistons 22-18 in the half and outscored the Pistons on points off turnovers 12-4. The one edge for Detroit: 50.0 percent shooting to 42.5 for the Spurs. You get the feeling if the Spurs keep their turnovers down again the second half, they'll take this one.
The Spurs went a stretch of 4 minutes, 22 seconds between baskets. The Pistons took advantage with a 14-2 run to grab a 31-26 lead.
The Spurs went to a small lineup early in the quarter that included three point guard/shooting guards on the floor together - George Hill, Mason, Ginobili - plus Michael Finley and Fabricio Oberto.
Duncan's basket in the first minute of the second quarter gave him 10 points and made him the first player in the game in double figures. He followed that with a pair of free throws before being replaced by Matt Bonner at the 10:22 mark.
FIRST QUARTER
Parker and Duncan scored eight points each as the Spurs finished the first quarter with a 22-17 lead.
The Spurs turned the ball over only one time the first quarter and the Pistons didn't turn that into any points. The Spurs also had a 12-11 rebounding edge.
Hill replaced Parker with 1:47 left in the quarter.
The Spurs created a few defensive stops and continued scoring as they inched out to an 18-13 lead. Mason replaced Ginobili at the 6:15 mark of the first quarter and Oberto replaced Bonner at 4:43.
Duncan hit the first shot of the game and Parker and Ginobili are driving through the Pistons' defense. The Pistons' Richard Hamilton is hot early at the other end and it's tied 10-10 at the first timeout.

Spurs are really disappointing me. No energy, and seem like they EXPECT to have the game handed to them. They need to wake up and play with a purpose. They can't do the usual coast until the rodeo road trip.
Anyone else notice that when JV entered the game, the Spurs just fell to absolute shit?
I think that's one of Pop's worst coaching moves of the season. It seemed to kill the teams spirits when he came out. George Hill getting benched was not acceptable. He's a rookie and he needs to learn and work through his mistakes.

I don't know. What is our record with Parker in the lineup this season. We were playing like crap with Parker before too.

One probel that was very obvious: With Tony and Manu back, the Spurs don''t execute. Yes i said it. Those two guys interrupt almost every play, brickin' up shots or making wrong decisions. I don't give a fuck if ur an all-star: Execute!!

Pistons shot 50% and Manu got a team high (+/-) -17, Hill and Mason were major disappointment tonight.
Mason who was supposed to be a good ball handler had 5 tos and Hill got a 2nd half DNP because of his lack of aggressiveness on the offensive end

Three point shooting.
Yep. Spurs shot what, 25%? If they had hit a few more, they could have looked like all the ass in the world and still taken this one.
We're playing like morons with Tony back..

Tony and Manu need to be pulled aside and told to pass the fucking ball and play team ball.
Both of those guys in the last two games have no played great team ball. They've looked out for themselves on offense too much. Parker got some nice assists to TD in the second half of the Houston game, but apart from that there's been too much one on one from both of them.
4 Down is a bad fucking idea against a team like the Pistons who have great bigs to pack the lane with.
Pop you seriously coached a VERY, VERY bad game.
Mason needs to start. Finley needs to be benched.

Duncan

Kurt Thomas played great... there's a reason Pop plays him. It's because he prepares his defensive game like a coach.
:rolleyes
Pistons shot 50% and Manu got a team high (+/-) -17,
tony (+1) and bruce (+11) were the only ones positive tonight

The only Spur that I saw giving it his all the entire game is Matt Bonner. I think he needs to stick it to the team and tell them... "THIS IS THE EFFORT YOU NEED. PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES AND PLAY BASKETBALL!!!"

did you even see the Friday game against the Grizz? It's obvious that Parker has affected the chemistry.

Depressing loss because it was a winnable game, now we have a tought schedule with Denver, GS and Mavs, Hawks on a back to back.
Hope Pop can make quick changes because there was too much iso and other guys didn't have time to get in rythm. If we get at least 2/2 after these 4 games it will be satisfactory

Bonner could easily score 10 pts a game because no one in the NBA takes him seriously.
If he'd just make his 3's.

Hate to say it and as strange as it might sound, but those two guys are taking the Spurs out of their rythm. Like i said the're not executing!! Play team ball!

The spurs better step up or they're going to go on a big losing streak. These next few games are going to be tough for them. Hopefully they get some wins and become stronger as a team. :flag:

OK. why not manu who returns at about the same time and was also out when we had our winning streak (against weak teams) ??
you're just wrong, sorry to tell. manu and tony will be back at full strenght and you will all praise them (even if for manu, it's usual). not need for overreaction even if i know nothing can stop the TP hate.

I'm not hating Parker, in fact this Spurs team won't be anywhere near the Finals without him, all I'm saying is that Parker has been basically Iverson-esk since his return (Ginobili too btw :bang) when he doesn't have to be because the Spurs now have more weapons offensively than last year.

Being the only player (besides Tim) to get a decent # of boards isn't too bad. If there is any big hate, put it all on Fab. At least Bonner gives his all every second and can usually spread the floor for Timmy, Fab hasn't been good for shit the whole season.
Least I can watch the next game on tv.

Spurs sucked against rockets...and suck again against pistons. Tony and Manu should let the game come to them and shake the rust off..and blend with combo mason george

Spurs vs. Atlanta Dec. 10th;
Spurs vs. Sacramento Dec 22nd;
Spurs vs. Minnesota Dec. 23rd.
So for instance the att center box office is selling tickets for $84......
Best Tickets is selling tickets for $42!!!! So it's really a buy 1 get 1 free type of deal!! and even better.....the charter level seats are $275...Best Tickets is selling them for $137.50!! So really we're not making money but losing money...and really trying to help out the economy....another thing we sell for all the spurs games...so most of the other games are cheap too. Be sure to give us a call at 210-344-9600!! you can even check out our website at www.besttix.com (http://www.besttix.com/)
