[Cant_Be_Faded]

Manu has seriously lost over 400 points on the faith scale

four
hundred

[ducks]

I wondered after the rome show I even asked if horry was started in that thread!

[clubalien]

i heard orry was starting because of WOAI, how did you find out is there a starting lineup report on some nba website to view? for example i didn;t know Tim was going to start since they just mentioned orry

[boutons_]

wow, a huge adjustment in the first round of playoffs.

Now, will it work?

[Leetonidas]

I figured this would happen. Let's see if Pop does what I think he's going to do.

I'm going to guess it's a given that Tim Duncan starts on any team against any team in this league.

Oh, and props to putting Horry in the starting lineup, now just have him D up on Bonzi.

[Horry For 3!]

I saw Horry being interview on I think ESPN and he said he could very well start tonight, that they were thinking about it. Also that he would play a lot more mins.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

i dont like it

horry needs to be in mid-late 2nd, early 3rd, late fourth

those are when we need clutch plays

on the other hand, horry played very shitty in game 4

[gospursgojas]

DAMN STRAIGHT!!!!!!!!!

Just what I've been asking for!

[SA Gunslinger]

If Horry guards Wells, then that would probably mean Bowen on Thomas?

[Cant_Be_Faded]

God if only we had kept LJIII

This series, this exact series, would be the breakout party for LJIII...he would dominate bonzi
god dammit the spurs better fucking win tonight or i will kill someone's puppy

[ducks]

tony said on tv less of bowen

[1Parker1]

Bold move. Let's see if it works.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Text message from Spurschick: HOLY SHIT!

[Pistons < Spurs]

wow, a huge adjustment in the first round of playoffs.

Now, will it work?


Yeah, big adjustment........I don't like it. Looks too much like desperation to me.

While I think Horry needs more than 15 minutes that he's been getting, I don't see him being of any help in the rebound department, and I think defensively this is also a step down.

Maybe it will make things easier offensively for guys like Manu and Parker, opening up the lane, as Horry and his defender will be more perimeter oriented.

I don't know. I hope this works.....but I'm skeptical.

I would rather have seen Rasho start, and still give more minutes to Horry.

[thewatcher]

good idea horry on wells....i just hope it works

[JamStone]

I'm going to guess it's a given that Tim Duncan starts on any team against any team in this league.


Except on a team like the 2006 Western Conference all star team.

:spin :spin :spin

[boutons_]

back off Bonzi, play him loose, invite him to shoot jumpers, same with Ron A.

[sa_butta]

good idea horry on wells....i just hope it worksmaybe opens up some lanes for Parker and Gino.
And should be better on the boards as well.

I would not call it a desperation move....horry wont come out nailin threes left and right if thats what you think he's being substitued for.
And defensively, if he's guarding bonzi, it will be a decent play. But that leaves kenny thomas guarded by a guard :wtf

Don't get me wrong, i'm skeptical too

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I hope it works out, but it wreaks of desperation, and shows Pop doens't know how to figure out the x's and o's so is relying on a roster tweak to solve an x's and o's problem :/

[Cant_Be_Faded]

how can pop be this stupid though

are his assistant coaches this stupid too, or does he refuse to listen to them

[KingsFanWithoutName]

pop is desperate.

sucks for you guys.

this could backfire for you.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

B.

[nkdlunch]

It's over for the Excremento QUeens

[ALVAREZ6]

good.


it's about fuckin time, Horry hustles.

[clubalien]

thought we were going to put a whte guy on bonzi

[AFE7FATMAN]

shows Pop doens't know how to figure out the x's and o's so is relying on a roster tweak to solve an x's and o's problem :/
Nice

I wonder how many times this has been said and how many of us have been labeled POP haters for saying it since Bob Hill left.

[Johnny_Blaze_47]

Yeah, because all those guards on Bonzi worked wonders during the two games @ Arco.

[Solid D]

Half-time Kings 46-Spurs 43.
Horry has been so-so in the first 24 minutes.

Another weak offensive support by Finley (0 pts. in 14 min.), Barry (2 pts. in 11:44 min.) and Van Exel (2 pts. in 6:38 min.) off the bench.

Wells killing the Spurs. 8 TOs giving the Kings 7 more shot attempts.

Kings 5-10 on 3s
Spurs 1-7 on 3s

Awful 2nd quarter.

[Nikos]

Why are the Spurs so weak mentally and physically? There is no excuse for this collapse should they lose this game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Fuck Fin, Barry, and NVE. Give their shots to Duncan.

The Spurs are shooting 60% inside the arc, 83% FTs, and 10% threes. So why the fuck are they continuing to shoot threes? :pctoss

[MI21]

Horry starting is useless unless you are sticking him on Bonzi.

Horry 25MPG coming off the bench, getting some minutes against the 2nd stringers and playing the final 5 minutes of the 4th is where he is useful.

What's it matter when the entire offense and defense is playing like it is useless?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

This team looks like it did back when Phil Jackson owned Pop, and everyone on the team knew Pop didn't know what adjustments to make to change the flow of the game. Sad.

[ducks]

ahf why the hell are you not the coach because you know how to coach basketball
how to draft for the texans

[ploto]

Interesting. I give props to timvp for making this call, but it didn't really seem to matter too much to me. Even when we did have Horry on Wells, it wasn't so successful.

Once again Pop went mostly small ball- in the last quarter and a half, if I remember right, he used 1 of 2 bigs: Tim or Rasho and 4 of the following 6 players: Tony, Manu, Bruce, Brent, Finley, or NVE. Horry never played in the fourth quarter at all.

I find it ironic that a week and a half ago people insisted- even after knowing the match-up- that Rasho and Brent would hardly see the court. On the contrary, Pop has used them both in crunch time. Tonight Rasho never got much of a chance because of two quick BS fouls on two blocks of Bonzi's shots, but he played key minutes early in the fourth quarter. And Brent, he has become the emotional leader of this team.
