Gregg Popovich isn't interested in turning corners. He's tried that too many times this season only to get flattened by another speeding bus......

nice article. cant wait to get tony back and see what this team can really do. this place should get interesting around playoff time.

[DesignatedT]

teams going to get worse when Tony comes back.

oh ok. might as well not even watch the games anymore right? shits over.

[Leftyventricle]

teams going to get worse when Tony comes back.

i sort of agree.

[Halberto]

Well if we don't put him in there we won't get out of the first round.

[timtonymanu]

Well if we don't put him in there we won't get out of the first round.

especially if we face the Lakers. Parker is needed for that series.

Yall are funny thinking it is definite the team will get worse with his return. We will see how much of an ego he has when he comes back, cuz this team has build something while he has been away. Spurs need him to fit in.

He will if he's thrust back into the starting lineup and Ginobili goes back to bench duty.

If you haven't noticed the spurs have been playing pretty good team basketball lately with Hill and Ginobili running the show.

I hope Popped makes TP come off the bench and have to carry that 2nd unit like Manu did for years.

[wildbill2u]

I think you can play eithr TP or Hill at starting point without much drop off because each brings good things to the table--but you damn well have to have Manu in there to make this team go.

Pop should realize that the Manu as 6th man theory is washed up.

"As a coach, you try to create situations where people -- as simplistic as it sounds -- have to talk with each other, have to deal with each other," he said. "Whether it's what you might do on an airplane or on a bus ... making trips or doing things in the community, what you might do in the locker room, how you might sit people next to each other, there all kinds of ways that you try to engender communication and respect.

"But in the end one doesn't really know how well a team will gel. A lot of teams just don't and it shows in the play. Sometimes it's not because people are not good people. Sometimes it's from a lack of trust or a situation where you don't know how to act around another player on the court, because you don't know him well enough. You don't want to disappoint. Maybe you think you're disappointing somebody and that affects your game. Maybe you're disappointed in somebody else and that affects his game and your game. All those things have to be sorted out."

interesting stuff....
