Lakaluva may be right. Tim should slap some sense into Pop and play him with Splitter major minutes.

As will I.

All in all it doesn't matter to me. I came into the season with zero expectations and there have been some pleasant surprises. Getting rid of limp Dick was nice and getting Jack back in the process was a plus. Some of the good young guys should ease some of the transition pains.

So come what may, I'm good.

[VBM]

If the Spurs lose, I'll start praying for favorable playoff matchups like the ones seen in 2007 (when GS upset a Dallas team that probably would have beaten SA and Cleveland did the same to the Pistons).

Dont think that would bare any fruits.

Pop is gonna do whatever he wants, that much is clear.

Holt Can come in demand that Splitter play more and Pop would just brush it off and might even tell him to fuck off.

Its puzzling to me how no one ever says anything to Pop about playing Splitter on a consitent basis.

Or maybe they do, he just doesn't give a shit.

I'd probably find it entertaining. It would be hard not to at least smile if/when they showed Pop's face during another ass pounding. It would probably take an embarrassing loss tonight and then again on the 17th for Pop to start making rotation adjusments.

If it gets Splitter more playing time in the playoffs then I actually hope the Spurs repeat last night's debacle.

Take PJ with Bynum for instance. For at least 2 years he kept starting Kwame over Bynum - when millions of Laker fans pined for PJ to stop the madness. Maybe Bynum wasn't ready. Look at him now.

Disagree, tbh. Different situations. The Lakers were a CLEAR non-contender those years Kwame was on the team...they were a fringe playoff team at best.

San Antonio has a core that's on their last competitive legs, and if they started Duncan and Splitter together they WOULD be a contender, imo. As they are currently coached and substituted they're just a pretender, wasting the last decent years of Duncan and Ginobili.

I hear ya but still disagree somewhat. The Spurs haven't been contenders since 2005 tbh. They got lucky when Horry roughed up some key Sun players in '07. Haven't done anything since to warrant being called a contender. Perennially winning a ton of RS games is fool's gold to me.

Contender or not, coaches will play his best players (at least theoretically) if they want to win. I'm trusting Pop if I'm a Spur fan. Besides, if Splitter starts, either Bynum or Pau would put him in foul trouble. Then you are back to playing Blair out of position anyway. At least Splitter would be able to have favorable matchups against 2nd unit players - which will build his confidence.

Pop knows what he is doing.

Wow, what a stupid post on so many levels. Gotta love it when lakerfan talks about the 2005-2007 Lakers and gets the facts wrong. In Bynum's 2nd season he started almost twice as many games as Kwame. Splitter also wasn't a 17 year old rookie who was skipping practice to eat cereal his rookie year.

Exactly.

Other arguments aside, in a game like this, where literally nothing is working vs their tallest players and Blair gets benched for fucking Diaw two minutes into the second half, Splitter deserves no less than 30 minutes. Last night was prime time for testing Splitter's resolve and skill against a huge frontcourt, maybe even with TD, and Pop didn't even try for fucks' sakes.

Dude...how can they be a non-contender the year they win a title?:lol

They were contenders up until 2008, imo. Since 2009 they've been woefully embarrassing in the playoffs--coinciding directly with age, and the loss (or choice to play Finley over) Bowen. Since then they have been a shit defensive team who gets sodomized in the playoffs.

With Jackson and Leonard they have improved on the perimeter defensively, but they are still swiss cheese on the block. Splitter has a lot of upside, and he's still unpolished b/c Pop plays him so few minutes. Pop's a victim of his own regular season success, and won't adapt to playoff basketball.

You are right. I don't watch many Spur games out here in Japan. The Armed Forces Network doesn't play too many of your games so I'll take your word for it.

He just plays well in general. He'll change his game depending on the size and athletic ability of his matchup. Regardless, he's a huge upgrade over Blair. There's no denying that.

I hope Pop goes with the small lineup and we get manhandled inside. It would leave him with no choice against those matchups.

[Brazil]

I will lol too.

This season is a huge bonus for me tbh. I had 0 expectation, I thought the Spurs would barely fight for a PO spot during all season. Instead of that the spurs have clinched a PO spot, they are fighting to be the number one in the west, we get rid of RJ and his ridiculous contract, we have some young players to be exited about, tim, manu, tp and jax are back together. It has been a very nice and fun season so far and it's not a ass kicking like yesterday that is going to change that.

As for today's game, I am on the few who said last year that the grizz was the better team, I wouldn't be surprised if they win tonite.

Now I'll keep rooting for my team and not quitting like a 14 year olds girlie lakers fans after a stretch of bad loss.

[resistanze]

I think the saddest part is even if Pop trots out Blair/B:lolnner as their frontcourt and they get sodomized, it probably won't change his mind.

[midnightpulp]

I wasn't even all that pissed about Bynum's 30 board game. Despite that, I'll take the Spurs holding the Lakers' two 7 footers to a combined 16-44 shooting any day of the week. I was more disappointed in how the Spurs seemed to forget to defend the 3 point line and let a washed up Artest burn them for 26 points on 10-15 shooting, 15 of those points being from 3. Not to mention Barnes going for 13 points, including 3-6 from 3.

[DeadlyDynasty]

Then I don't want to hear you talking sh*t if the Spurs lose if you aren't confident enough to back up your takes...

I don't back up my takes/smack with bad business decisions. That's something an emotionally unstable and desperate person would do (i.e. thispego)

Both teams coming off a back-to-back, Spurs are at home and have a lot to prove after getting destroyed last night. They SHOULD win, that's why I said I'll laugh IF (read the OP) they lose.

Speaking of business decisions, how are you liking that bet between pego and I now? Safe to say det one's in the bag if our teams should meet.:lol

[DPG21920]

How is it a bad business decision if you are certain of what you say (i.e. Spurs can't hang with the bullies???)

I still want to see the last two games, but yes, I have said all along LA is a contender and the Spurs worst match up.

Don't be gay.

I said they can't hang over a playoff series...every time I said that it was in a thread about or in the context of a playoff series (i.e. Spurs should pray that they avoid Memphis and LA, etc).

Anybody can win one game, and when you're at home and need to rebound like they do, you should win. Vegas agrees with me (Spurs -5.5).

So in addition to playing soccer and listening to the Kings of Leon, you're now promoting bad business decisions.

Look DD, for better or worse, I gave you a chance to back up your takes. If you preach something, you should be the first in line to back it up. Now, I got you, you can't celebrate a Spurs loss now because you have been exposed as someone who is not confident.

Women hate that.

[midnightpulp]

I also don't think the Spurs' should win. Memphis has been the best team in the league over the past week, and on paper, are actually the worst matchup there is for the Spurs since they have a perimeter that's arguably just as good.

The Spurs shouldn't get blown out, but it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see Memphis leave San Antonio with the win.

Yet another reason I wouldn't mind seeing Memphis rape the shit out of Blair/Bonner and a past his prime Duncan. Maybe then, Pop will get it through his thick, pock-marked head that he needs to play the two best bigs on the squad together for meaningful minutes.

A Splitter/Duncan frontline with Blair's energy coming off the bench to beat the shit out of the opponent's second unit scrub bigs (the McMurphys, Collisons, etc) sounds damn good to me. Bonner should be a situational player at best, only coming in when a stretch 4 is absolutely needed.

Since Madden has gone senile and was forced out of the booth, I'd say that last line is spot on.

I'll offer the nonfiction version:

-You failed to read my OP, immediately digging yourself a hole

-You offered an asinine bet to take straight up (only a moron would do, regardless of the outcome).

-You moved the goalposts when you realized you couldn't get your way

-Out of pride and frustration, you offered to make the same stupid bet, but made it a low-risk, betting decision. $25, yeah, women love guys willing to lay that kind of cheese.:lmao

-I offered to make the bet worthwhile (reading your mind, and proving that I was right not to take your action).

-You throw a fit.

You'd think. With Gary Neal playing today and Tony Allen apparently not, however, I'm not sure Pop is going to see the frontcourt as the problem unless this ends up being another embarrassing loss.

And yes, I agree. Blair is perfect coming off the bench.


hope blair gets manhandled so Diaw can move into the starting lineup.

Tiago>Diaw>>>Blair

Tiago, to me, seems like someone who could score around 18-20/game when given minutes and the ball on about 60% shooting while grabbing you 8+ rebounds and getting a couple assists if he's played around 30 minutes a game.

He has no problems toughing it out in the paint and in Utah, Boston, LAL he played against physical bigs and scored baskets even when it seemed like most of our team couldn't. Due to age, that's something we can't expect Tim to do in the post-season normally. If he's also covering for Blair you can forget it.

When Splitter's defense is taken into account it becomes all the more obvious that his production is the type of stuff that wins you playoff games. He's not the answer by himself but he'd be enough to make sure our frontcourt wasn't a total liability in the post-season.

While better than Blair, Diaw is shorter, slower, and probably not as rugged at this stage. Without Splitter playing significant minutes the Spurs don't have a fighting chance against teams that defend/have height/are athletic even if they play Boris over Blair. That's just the truth.

[DPG21920]

You had to keep posting.....

I didn't want to expose your bad logic and your lack of confidence but....

1) :lmao Acting like going from $25 to $100 is some giant impressive leap and that it would make up for your lack of balls and confidence with women. Unless you date 8th graders who need money from their patents to eat at Chilis with their friends, $100 isn't something impressive.

2) Not only that it illustrates more your lack of understanding of the situation. I exposed you as not confident in your own takes. When I took your man card by flipping the script you scrambled (and failed as I illustrated in #1) to try and gain an upperhand

3) By doing so you exposed yourself again as a fraud and a terrible business man. If you truly believed "it's a bad business decision", then you look extra scared by not acceprong when I gave you the "good business decision". Losing out on free smart money (based on your original excuse) is a terrible business decision whether it's $25 or $100.


So you're either a liar (you don't believe your takes) or a pu$$ (afraid to bet).

Choose wisely.

You'd think. With Gary Neal playing today and Tony Allen apparently not, however, I'm not sure Pop is going to see the frontcourt as the problem unless this ends up being another embarrassing loss.

And yes, I agree. Blair is perfect coming off the bench.



Tiago>Diaw>>>Blair

Tiago, to me, seems like someone who could score around 18-20/game when given minutes and the ball on about 60% shooting while grabbing you 8+ rebounds and getting a couple assists if he's played around 30 minutes a game.

He has no problems toughing it out in the paint and in Utah, Boston, LAL he played against physical bigs and scored baskets even when it seemed like most of our team couldn't. Due to age, that's something we can't expect Tim to do in the post-season normally. If he's also covering for Blair you can forget it.

When Splitter's defense is taken into account it becomes all the more obvious that his production is the type of stuff that wins you playoff games. He's not the answer by himself but he'd be enough to make sure our frontcourt wasn't a total liability in the post-season.

While better than Blair, Diaw is shorter, slower, and probably not as rugged at this stage. Without Splitter playing significant minutes the Spurs don't have a fighting chance against teams that defend/have height/are athletic even if they play Boris over Blair. That's just the truth.

Tony Allen's not playing?

Me not taking DPG's bait bet looks better and better by the minute:lol

I'd love to take your words seriously, but...

you know how that goes...:lol

damn :depressed

Gonna have to wait till at least next tuesday...

[DeadlyDynasty]

You had to keep posting.....

I didn't want to expose your bad logic and your lack of confidence but....

1) :lmao Acting like going from $25 to $100 is some giant impressive leap and that it would make up for your lack of balls and confidence with women. Unless you date 8th graders who need money from their patents to eat at Chilis with their friends, $100 isn't something impressive.

2) Not only that it illustrates more your lack of understanding of the situation. I exposed you as not confident in your own takes. When I took your man card by flipping the script you scrambled (and failed as I illustrated in #1) to try and gain an upperhand

3) By doing so you exposed yourself again as a fraud and a terrible business man. If you truly believed "it's a bad business decision", then you look extra scared by not acceprong when I gave you the "good business decision". Losing out on free smart money (based on your original excuse) is a terrible business decision whether it's $25 or $100.


So you're either a liar (you don't believe your takes) or a pu$$ (afraid to bet).

Choose wisely.

What an awful post and skewed perception of reality.:lol Your entire basis of an argument is based on an utter failure to grasp the OP. I said "If the Spurs...," and you--being in the fragile emotional state that you're in right now--took offense to the possibility of another loss and tried to bait me into a stupid bet. Then, in your frustration of not getting me to accept your terms, you make a ham-handed, neutered counter-bet to make it look like you have a sac.

These are facts.

take it easy on him, brah
he's still sensitive, tbh

[DPG21920]

It's bad business to turn down easy money, yes or no?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Here's the killshot: What kinda money did you have in mind when you originally proposed the bet?

Don't insult everybody's intelligence by saying $25 either. You know damn well you were willing to bet at minimum one bill on the Spurs (with the possibility of going as high as five).

[DeadlyDynasty]

Stop.

splitter never going to start as long as TD a spur. Diaw is not smaller than blair. Hes much better defensively, he can put the ball on floor and get to the rim, hes a playmaker and he spreads the floor. blair useless unless parker or manu can find him cutting to the basket.

Stop.

ELE was originally fpoonsie, but Hoops Czar thought I didn't have much hope so I told him to throw his chips in too. I kind of threw the dice tbh, but I had a hunch LAL wouldn't throw away another game with Memphis and Clipshow on their ass.
