Just a thread to remember the failed prognostication before the season started... Feel free to add...

Remember when...
- James Anderson was going to backup RJ
- Bonner was going to play 15 mpg and be the 5th big
- Tiago Splitter and Tim Duncan will bring back the twin towers
- Blair was working on a jumper

Nope. I knew Bonner would be a big part of the rotation from the start. That's why I had my doubts. Popovich is so predictable.

LOl at soon as Bonner was reupped I knew better! He is a key to Pop and always will be, he can't help it! PERIOD end of story.

To be fair, Anderson did miss a ton of games because of injury.

Everything else...

Tiago did also...doesn't mean they should both not be given some run now...

Do you remember when Ed Nealy banked in a layup to win a game in the late 80's

Remember when Pop sucked and was about to get shit canned and then Duncan came along and Pop is now the #2 best coach in the league?

Pop was the GM and VP. Who was going to fire him?

Remember when James Anderson was supposed to make the All-Rookie Team, because he was totally balling before he got injured. :(

Remember when defense meant something to Pop and he actually signed/played his best defensive role players like Bowen and Horry instead of POS like RJ and Bonner. Can't even blame Bonner - he is what he is and Pop's the one who overplays him. But RJ - the game against POR with all the other starters out, he scores a measly 7 points and gets outplayed by the likes of Green, Quinn, Hill and Splitter. C'mon.

Remember that time when Manu had the flu in the playoffs but just went nuts hitting shot after shot. Then making that three and turning to the bench and shrugging his shoulders. Eventually winning another title that year.

I partially disagree.
Bonner is a 3 pt shooter but has shown little effort or improvement on the "D" which you can attribute some to Bonner. We know his a good shooter, he would be much more of an asset if his effort on "D" would improve, effort is on the player mainly, but I agree it is on Pop to see this and not play him as much. The way it is now Pop should play him in certain situations only, he should be playing less for sure. If Pop is going to stick with 3 pt shooters I would rather see Novak in the game than Bonner.

RJ had worked with the coaches over the summer and was signed for more years because he was better in the system...

Remember how we weren't supposed to be 1st in the league 7 games before the end of the season?

(still 2 games ahead)

What's happening to the spurs right now happened to ALL THE CONTENDERS during the season...
I happen to the spurs at the worst time, but it just can't last long...

Silver lining : Bonner choking before PO can open Pop's eyes about his (lack of) efficiency under pressure.
Had it happen during the PO only, it would have been too late to find another gameplan/tactic ...

He can step down from coaching since he knew he sucked at it.

Remember when a few of us here were trying to drive home just how critical Bruce Bowen's presence was to winning the last three titles?

Yes, Bruce was a critical piece in those LOB's, but he has retired and we have to move on without him. They Spurs have to play the hand they are dealt, and some of the problem is Pop isn't using the full deck.....so-to-speak.

Why is it that some people forget to use logic? You realize that Pop witnessed Bonner choke in the playoffs already and still brought him back with another contract?

There is nothing Bonner is doing that the Spurs haven't seen up close and they still brought him back.
