No SmallBall = Spurs Win!

[chasky]

Today we don't waste any second of the game playing smallball, and we won!

[Sisk]

It's a beautiful thing, isn't it?

[rayray2k8]

No Bonner, no problem! :tu

[ChumpDumper]

Fire Pop.

[alchemist]

Dice and the rest of the pack playing like they have everything on the line = Spurs Win.

[Dice]

As long as Dice keeps up this level of effort I think small ball (at least in the fouth) is done.

[exstatic]

ATL plays smallball, so smallball loses again!!

I think Pop made a conscious effort to come out big. Smith, despite being a shot blocker, is not a PF, and Horford is a PF, not a C.

[DesignatedT]

Dyess is wrecking out there!!!! just having him on the floor more improves the defense because our center isnt 6'6... small ball is just terrible

this includes blair IMO. his defense is just atrocious. Dice needs to play more, and we need to acquire one more big IMO.

Mahinmi plays = Spurs win.

Finally Dice shows up and plays some #ucken ball. :flag:

Hopefully, its not a one game fluke.

What? That is not fair. The Spurs need me, and I need the Spurs. I feel like my girlfriend just dumped me.

This is the lineup we can win it all with! NO SMALL BALL!

Wow, thats insightful.

Could it be that the Spurs finally played a team that their bigs are able to matchup with?

How are the Chicago bigs significanty different? And why should a team try to rearrange their roster to "match up" with an inferior team? And how exactly does Roger Mason or Manu Ginobili match up better with Joakim Noah anyway?

You mean we didn't even attempt to match up Jefferson with Horton or Smith...

[jmard5]

Great. Just great. Just when I decided not to watch the game and do something else, the Spurs win. :lol

[NRHector]

Great. Just great. Just when I decided not to watch the game and do something else, the Spurs win. :lolhave a little faith in the Spurs

Today we don't waste any second of the game playing smallball, and we won!Didn't the Spurs play small ball at the end of the first half with RJ at PF? Coulda sworn . . .


Wow, thats insightful.

Could it be that the Spurs finally played a team that their bigs are able to matchup with?While I agree this thread probably wasn't thread-worthy, I don't really get your point. At one point the Hawks had Josh Smith at center and Marvin Williams at PF. That's hardly bigs the Spurs can matchup with. Typically, that sort of alignment results in Pop playing small ball.

Even though a lot of Spurs fans don't like him, Bonner is the key to avoiding small ball. Earlier in the season, Pop avoided small ball by using Bonner at PF -- since Bonner is deceptively quick and can stay in front of a lot of small forward. If Bonner can start playing better again, the Spurs would play less and less small ball.

[crc21209]

Hell yeah! :tu. Hopefully Pop finally fucking opened his eyes..:lol

[ezau]

Fuck small ball

[NRHector]

Bonner played some good D at the end, he was throwing bricks left and right but I think he played good D tonight

[Small Ball]

Fuck small ball
Please, your pussy is too small to fit my dick in.

[duhoh]

What? That is not fair. The Spurs need me, and I need the Spurs. I feel like my girlfriend just dumped me.

:lmao

now this troll account is actually creative! :tu

[siraulo23]

fucking awesome pop, finally

dont care if you have to play bonner, just dont play small EVER again

[admiralsnackbar]

Didn't the Spurs play small ball at the end of the first half with RJ at PF? Coulda sworn . . .

I saw it, too, but Pop adjusted appropriately this time, so it's hard to complain.

the last time someone had 1 good game Pop benched him...... So dice might be punished for tearing it up... Watch out
