hey folks, why was Aron Baynes in for the Pelicans last play???

[hater]

WTF???

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Pop is a fagg:lolt, high on his own shit

[Malik Hairston]

Because Pop doesn't care about these meaningless games, he's putting his bench players in pressure situations, as he has done in previous seasons(Baynes on Davis on the final possession, letting Joseph run the team down the stretch, etc)..

[MANUNG-Ginobili]

pop never learned...:lol

[Baam]

Cause Tim is a tosb who is even slower...

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Pop is throwing away games for no reason to play players who WILL NOT pan out to be anybody for us in the playoffs. Daye, Ayres, and Baynes BLOW, they wont do anything meaningful. Pop is fucking the team over so he can play his mad scientist persona to the media.

[TheGreatYacht]

Because the whole world knows Pop is Mike Brown without Duncan. He's trying to prove that he doesn't need him... *cough* Game 6

Shouldve hired Doc Rivers in 1997, tbh

[justinandimcool]

Kid was given a test against a superstar center down the stretch and he failed tbh. Pop knows not to trust him anymore in the clutch now.

[TheGreatYacht]

Because Pop doesn't care about these meaningless games, he's putting his bench players in pressure situations, as he has done in previous seasons(Baynes on Davis on the final possession, letting Joseph run the team down the stretch, etc)..
He tried to give them a valuable lesson in Game 6 of the 2013 Finals as well? Foh

:lol of course Pop doesn't know what he's doing, it's not like the Spurs just had the most impressive title run since the 2001 Lakers or anything..

[crc21209]

Because he doesnt give a shit in November, December, January like always...:lol

[Malik Hairston]

Every coach makes mistakes, same with players, GMs, etc..

Comparing game 6 of the Finals to the 5th game of the regular season makes a lot of sense, though..

[TheGreatYacht]

The bait on the Popsuckers worked :lol

[hater]

Yeah Pop is never arrogant and never outsmarts himself with his dumbass lineups.... Cough, cough, game 6, cough, cough

[jeebus]

because it's November.

OP is a faggot.

[Agloco]

:cry It's only 5 games into the season and Pop sucks again. :cry

[Silver&Black]

Give em the business Malik Hairston.....half of these Spurs fans only see this one game. They don't understand that the season is 82 games long...

[TheGreatYacht]

Just admit he fucked up and quit making excuses for him like always. Then we can move on...

[Malik Hairston]

GreatYacht is a good poster running on shticks, so he's just playing, but ya, it's strange that there are still posters on ST that don't understand what Pop does in November/December and even in January:lol..

[Malik Hairston]

Just admit he fucked up and quit making excuses for him like always. Then we can move on...

I always make excuses for Pop? I've been called a Pop hater for years:lol..

I'm not going to hate on him for anything he does during the 5th game of the season, let alone putting Baynes vs. Davis when the alternative is Duncan, Diaw who looked terrible on D all night, and Ayres..

[Baam]

Actually thinking that Pop is not trying his hardest to win close games is pretty dumb...

[timtonymanu]

That game thread was funny, tbh. People saying the Spurs have regressed. Obviously Splitter, Mills, Marco >>>> Joseph, Daye, Baynes.

[FlAVaK]

Just admit he fucked up and quit making excuses for him like always. Then we can move on...

Pop tried something and it didn´t work out. Happens, I don´t blame him for that! It´s not about excuses...

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Actually thinking that Pop is not trying his hardest to win close games is pretty dumb...

Sure he is, but his decisions dont always give us the best chance...

[Malik Hairston]

Actually thinking that Pop is not trying his hardest to win close games is pretty dumb...

Benching Duncan/Parker/Ginobili with 5 minutes left in the game is trying his hardest to win the game?:lol..

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Kawhi just said his eye is killing his conditioning and his vision isnt back, WTF, did he get some African Ebola jizz in his eye?

[ElNono]

Hope is not permanent, tbh... that's the future of our franchise

baynes is good. daye and ayres fucking suck

[apalisoc_9]

gotta recognize effort..

It's early in the season, and the least Pop can do is play someone that helped close the gap.

Won't happen in the playoffs..

[Brunodf]

Pop sitting Duncan in the last defensive possesion:bang

[Baam]

Benching Duncan/Parker/Ginobili with 5 minutes left in the game is trying his hardest to win the game?:lol..

Hm it worked as they got stops... The big 3 shouldn't close together these days tbh as they're just not good enough defensively, taking them off at once was a bit drastic but it's like throwing a hail mary pass, it was too late to try something less crazy...

[Chomag]

Yeah Davis sucks...

[Chomag]

Just saying Davis is probably the 2nd best current player in the nba skill wise. He just made a superstar shot as he should.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

They got stops because they stopped going to Davis and missed open shots... As soon as they went back to Davis.... Baynes got destroyed

[Ice009]

Kawhi just said his eye is killing his conditioning and his vision isnt back, WTF, did he get some African Ebola jizz in his eye?

WTF. What does he mean by his vision? Is it blurry or something?

[hater]

its a simple question. If you had a choice between Duncan and Baynes to win a game. Who would you pick?

[Spurs 4 The Win]

WTF. What does he mean by his vision? Is it blurry or something?

He said its blurry

[313]

What kind of pink eye did Kawhi get? It should be gone by now

[TheGreatYacht]

What kind of pink eye did Kawhi get? It should be gone by now

The "being a bitter bitch for not getting an extension" Pink eye

[Hoops Czar]

WTF???

To prove a point about Baynes being no better than the rest of the junk bigs to come off the bench. He's one of three 4th string centers.

[exstatic]

baynes is good. daye and ayres fucking suck

Baynes is trash.

[tholdren]

WTF???

Because you need to put Baynes in situations to see if he can be trusted and learn, so when it does count, spurs have a plan.

Davis would have scored on any of our players must likely. I also don't care because game 5 of 82 is not why I am a spurs fan.

[mkurts]

Was hoping Baynes would at least hard foul Davis and make him earn it at the line

[pgardn]

:cry It's only 5 games into the season and Pop sucks again. :cry

Its the same nitwits you don't leave alone in a cell with sharp objects.

[Johnny RIngo]

Baynes is trash.

He is but he's still better than Ayres which says a lot about how bad Jeff is.

[exstatic]

Ayres was FAR better using last year's full season as a legit sample size. He drops passes, but he fucking FINISHES when he has the ball near the hoop, unlike Mr. 43.6%.

[Johnny RIngo]

Errors is garbage. Baynes is trash too but he's not getting paid MLE money like Jeff. Season numbers prove my point:

12.1 PER - Baynes
5.6 PER - Errors

.566 TS% - Baynes
.405 TS% - Errors

.085 WS/48 - Baynes
.001 WS/48 - Errors

104 ORtg - Baynes
85 ORtg - Errors

-1.0 Net On/Off - Baynes
-20.1 Net On/Off - Errors

Ayres is legitimately one of the worst players in the NBA.

Nice 5 game sample size. Now, let's look at a SEASON.

11.1 PER - Ayres
9.7 PER - Baynes

.605 TS% - Ayres
.467 TS% - Baynes :lol :rollin

.121 WS/48 - Ayres
.055 WS/48 - Baynes

110 ORtg - Ayres
97 ORtg - Baynes

-1.6 Net On/Off - Ayres
-5.0 Net On/Off - Baynes

Oh, and you're either stupid or uninformed about Ayres salary. He makes about 1/3 MLE, and less than Baynes this year.

[PingPong]

Both are useless. Trade both and Daye for some painkillers to Splitter.

[dabom]

Baynes can defend some bigger players. Jeff cant do shit.

How are last season's numbers relevant when we're talking about their performances this season? Talk about shifting the goalposts. I'm not even a Baynes fan but it's absolutely hilarious to shit on one guy while propping up someone who's objectively worse.

[kobyz]

Can't understand Pop on that one, maybe he was out of his mind, Baynes as a player you can say he has some offense but as for defense probably the worst on the team...things keep looking ugly for us to start the season, front office did bad job in offseason not to upgrade or refrash the team, Pop too arrogant and still with the beard, Backy is a bad distract for the team ans should be fired, the west getting even more stronger, i hope we'll make the playoff...

Sample size. Stats 101. The team is basically the same, so it's not like there are a lot of variables.

[superbigtime]

Every game is meaningful. I hate to see games thrown away like this.

[pgardn]

Every game is meaningful. I hate to see games thrown away like this.

Actually in an 82 game schedule they are not.
When we bring the Austin team up at the end of the regular season this will become apparent.

[hitmantb]

I think there is a very real concern Splitter's nerve damage will cost him this season, Steve Nash style.

That is why Pop is trying his best to get Aron up to speed, by putting him in pressure situations.

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs fans are going out of their way to defend a scrub. Either that, or they don't know trash when they see it. The only one's who should be defending Baynes is his mother and father. For the clowns making a big stink about Ayres contract.... Ayres will be making $1,828,750 while Baynes will make $2,077,000. Neither are worth shit. Better hope Splitter comes back soon because if those two muttonheads are the best of the best coming off the bench, don't expect much of a return from the frontcourt.

Where the hell is FunnyLumpkins? I'd like to hear his take:lmao

And do you have any information to back this up? Or are you just wildly guessing?

gnsf panic mode, tbh.
