Is Bane in the doghouse for his game 1 pouting?

[Splits]

In Game 1 he played 20 minutes, got posterized a couple of times by Griffin, and lost his composure. He was getting emotional, acting like a little bitch on the court.

Then in Game 2 he gets a DNP-CD.

Prior to Game 3, Pop says he's a definitive "no", implying some sort of injury. Yet he plays during garbage time.

Methinks this is CIAPop teaching him a lesson for his behavior in Game 1.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Has to get over himself.

[Malik Hairston]

He doesn't really have a place in this series, tbh..if the Spurs beat the Clippers, he'll play a role vs. Houston, though..we've already seen how he gets under Pedo's skin..

[SnakeBoy]

Methinks this is CIAPop teaching him a lesson for his behavior in Game 1.

Nah, the implied injury was Pop being nice to save face for Baynes. There's no lesson to be taught, Big Banger isn't so big going against the likes of Blake and DJ and he doesn't have the skills to compensate for not being able to outmuscle an opponent. His only role in this series, if he even gets off the bench, will just be to hack a Jordan until he fouls out.

[Xevious]

He doesn't space the floor. :pop:

[TheGreatYacht]

Give me Matty :pop:

[100%duncan]

He was one of the few players who actually played with heart in that game. I want him to get playing time to rest timmy more

[ElNono]

I don't think it's the doghouse, just not the right player for this series, as HH said... with Tiago getting healthier, his mins were bound to decrease

[Splits]

I just don't know how he could get a pre-game "definitively out" from Pop and then see garbage time. Something's fishy, and his behavior in game 1 is the only real explanation, he lost composure

[Arcadian]

What are you talking about? He didn't pout nor act like a bitch. He brought some toughness in game 1 that few others did. So he got dunked on a few times - at least he went for the blocks. He was an inch away from rejecting that shit. You're gonna hold that against him for trying?

I like the way he dunks decisively when he catches the ball at the rim, something none of our other big men seem to ever do. Baynes has improved a lot. He's definitely a rotation player now.

[ChumpDumper]

When did Pop say definitely no?

And who asked?

[Splits]

^re-watch the game. His demeanor, the way he was aimlessly sprinting up the court... he lost his temper.

Why was he a "definitive no" before this game?

[ElNono]

Maybe he was a bit hurt, and Pop was going to save him, but the blowout changed plans... who knows... I'm glad he gave us some minutes. Rather he be out there in garbage time with Bonner and Ayres than having to play Boris or Tiago.

[cutewizard]

He will needed soon....

bring on Houston!!!!

Go Spurssssssssssssssssssssssssss go!!!

Look who's back!

How you been, stranger?

[ChumpDumper]

So the "no" wasn't definitive.

[dabom]

Pop always saving tony's ego by blaming injuries. :lmao

[Splits]

So the "no" wasn't definitive.

Right. Because Pop is known to risk injury with players in garbage time after declaring them out with injury the same day.

[ChumpDumper]

Right. Because Pop is known to risk injury with players in garbage time after declaring them out with injury the same day.But he wasn't declared out as indicated in the last tweet.

[Splits]

But he wasn't declared out

Doesn't refute my point.

And a LATimes reporter:

[dabom]

Splits and chump in a disagreement over misunderstandings. Should be good. :lmao

[Sean Cagney]

He pouted and acted up in game 1??? I would say its because he was getting abused out there and not for this series Pop saw so he sits him. Splitter getting more mins as well.

[SnakeBoy]

I don't think he pouted or acted like a bitch. He tried hard but he's just outmatched in this series. He'll have a big role against Houston. Which is odd to me, Baynes should be no match for Howard but I guess Howard is enough of a retard that he let's Baynes get under his skin.

[ChumpDumper]

Doesn't refute my point.

And a LATimes reporter:

591752798787612672
Actually it does refute you and all the other tweets.

591751707807232000

Chumps not letting this go. :lmao

What will splits do.

[Splits]

Right. Because Pop is known to risk injury with players in garbage time after declaring them out with injury the same day.


Actually it does refute you and all the other tweets.

So it refutes my point. Pop does that all the time.

[Malik Hairston]

Catfight!!

[dabom]

Is splits conceding early? I don't know.

[ChumpDumper]

So it refutes my point. Pop does that all the time.He does play people whom he says might play quite often, yes.

[ChumpDumper]

Catfight!!

That reversal was beautiful.

[Splits]

Bane has an ankle injury like Rondo has a back injury

[Malik Hairston]

Feel for Splits, ChumpDumper isn't going to stop following him around now:lol..might even report him like he's known to do..

Wait, wasn't Splits banned for like a week a few weeks ago? Hmm..

[ChumpDumper]

Link?You're saying he has never done this?

Nice.

[dabom]

Chump not showing proof. :lmao

Does chump have google alerts on your replies? :lmao

[ChumpDumper]

Chump not showing proof. :lmaoSo you're agreeing that Pop has never played a player after saying he might play?

I know you will refuse to answer.

[Splits]

You're saying he has never done this?

Nice.

So you can't prove Pop declares guys out before a playoff game due to injury then plays them garbage time minutes "quite often"?

nice.

I heard Rondo's going to play mop up duty in the game 4 loss Sunday.

[ChumpDumper]

Chump lossing at his own game. OMG. :wow

[Splits]

Umm, that was exactly my point which you refuse to disprove

Why risk an injury to Bane in garbage time?

[ChumpDumper]

Umm, that was exactly my point which you refuse to disprove

Why risk an injury to Bane in garbage time?Actually you moved the goalposts, which is exactly what I said.

He said he might play. He played. How is this a thing for you?

I doubt Bane's pouting had much to do with it. He's had a temper his entire NBA career.

[dabom]

No proof by chump. Fast sinking ship.

[ChumpDumper]

No proof by chump. Fast sinking ship.I knew you would never answer.

So it is stipulated that Pop has played players after saying they might play.

No one is disputing this.

[dabom]

Chump quoting me now. Losing his mind quickly.

[ChumpDumper]

Chump quoting me now. Losing his mind quickly.What is wrong with quoting someone?

Nothing wrong with it except when you are replying to someone else. :lmao

Nothing wrong with it except when you are replying to someone else. :lmaoExcept I asked you a question and was referring to that.

You having trouble keeping up with this? It's not difficult.

Chump you lost tonight. I'm going to sleep. Maybe tomorrow you'll do better.

[ChumpDumper]

Chump you lost tonight. I'm going to sleep. Maybe tomorrow you'll do better.How could you tell?

You didn't even know you were asked a question.

Maybe tomorrow you'll have a game plan.

[will_spurs]

This is the long version of the "reporter" quote:

Baynes' playing is a definitive no. He might still play, though, but not probably. Actually, we don't know shit, and it's clear Pop is fucking with us again during pregame conference. And I'm not sure what definitive means. I mean, it definitely means something, unless it doesn't. Probably.

[cd021]

He doesn't really have a place in this series, tbh..if the Spurs beat the Clippers, he'll play a role vs. Houston, though..we've already seen how he gets under Pedo's skin..

Not so sure on the Houston series. Houston is the best in terms of 3pt defense. The Spurs have been horrid against them from deep. Having 3 bigs who can't shoot outside of the paint and Diaw, who has been poor shooting the ball from 3. Add in Parker, who is a low volume 3pt shooter. Green, whose home/away splits are 47%/35% from 3. Leonard who was barely an above average 3pt shooter and opts not to shoot them some games.

Bonner makes since as the 4th big, that probably only 10 minutes.

[AaronY]

Excellent debate

This thread took an unexpected left turn....

[jhuan16]

Blake kill him.

[Hemotivo]

:reading

[TDomination]

i think the injury to Baynes is very minimal but Pop wants to make sure Baynes is ready to go against Houston so he's keeping him out.

[Mr. Body]

Baynes doesn't work in this series. Next series against Houston would expect to see him.

[Gagnrath]

Baynes actually is fine in this series in limited minutes against Blake, He doesn't really have the ability to out muscle Jordan or the legnth on the defensive end. Not that Jordan is a shooter but Jordan can go up for the ball against him on put backs and Baynes doesn't win that fight for position, and the refs won't call anything for either of them fighting for position unless its intentional wrap-ups or trying to hurt someone. The problem is really that he doesn't have a fast enough or confident enough jumper to draw Jordan out of the paint. ( He's not bad from 12- 17 feet but He doesn't have a fast release or a green light so Jordan can stay home in the paint and still get out to contest nor does he have confident enough ball handling to go around jordan when he comes out to challenge.

I'm actually very impressed with Jordan on defense this series. He is only an athlete on offense but he does well with floor positioning and understanding tendencies on defense which to me argues that there is something weird going on on offense more than him not getting it.

[ChumpDumper]

Tim, Tiago and Bobo are playing well.

Baynes isn't going to be in the playoff rotation when that is happening.

He might be dusted off if Jordan needs to be hacked again.

[Raven]

bad matchup
