Spurs problems started when Pop put McDyees to start in place of Blair.

Pop tried to fix something that wasn't broken.

WHY?

[timtonymanu]

No. Pop just didn't put Splitter in Bonner or Blair's spot.

Blair, tbh, was too small and inconsistent to be a starter. He also lacks basketball IQ that you need in the playoffs.

:pop: "They just made some shots"

Problem is the Bonner/Blair combinations...Mcdyess should be starting.

Do not copy one of polandprzems thoughts

Before he put Dice in the starting lineup, we didn't have the atrocity that is Blair/Bonner on the court at the same time. TD and Dice covered for the deficiency of Blair and Bonner. Now it's down the stretch time and teams are starting to play hard in addition to the abomination of Blair/Bonner = 5 straight losses.

[chasky]

If you have a bad match up on the playoff, is good to change. But Blair was looking great, ANTONIO WAS PLAYING ON THE END OF THE GAMES.

Every thing was perfect. Now the confidence of the players is really low and anything can happen.

Bascially the same thread I just started.

Blair/Bonner should never see the floor together. Adding Splitter in place of one of those two would seem to fix a lot of problems... but we know that isn't going to happen.

[SenorSpur]

I love Pop too, but the fact that he marries himself to inferior players and chains a new, productive player, like Splitter, to the bench, makes him a damn fool.

Sorry about that. i dont see the other tread. At least we think the same!
