Pop shouldn't even have shown up tonight

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We're settling for jumpers against a team with one big man.

4down + no timeouts during a 16-2 run :rolleyes

[JoeChalupa]

Here we go with the Pop bashing.

[Punkkboy44]

The game is gonna be over quick if Elson and Vaughn are shooting for the Spurs//WHAT A JOKE.. VAUGHN ON THE FLOOR IS KILLING US!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spurs1990]

Come on now, you know the refs were gonna fuck the Spurs in this game. This is all so predictable. NBA hates the Spurs.

[MannyIsGod]

I agree - Pop should not shoot jumpers.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I'm sorry. Letting a team go on a 16-2 run while you pick your fucking nose and 'react' by sending in Vaughn when Parker gets his second foul is brilliant fucking coaching.

Carry on.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

You know Phoenix is going small and you don't attack their one big man in Thomas? WTF? That clown should be on the bench with two fouls by now.

[JoeChalupa]

Is Pop shooting jumpers?

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Pop is stuck on 4down when we need movement on offense. Anyone watching us run 4down should realize the byproduct is a shit load of jumpers. This team needs to be going to the fucking rack.

[Punkkboy44]

This is a total fuckin joke...I could score more than Bowen and Vaughn..JOKE!!!!!!!

[JoeChalupa]

The Spurs are simply off tonight. Not surprising at all.

[mavsfan1000]

If Amare could actually guard Duncan as well as Thomas, the suns would be unbeatable. Great start by the suns.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yep, way to get our guards in rhythm by having them all spot up while Duncan posts up every play :tu

Please Pop, just humor me and run some fucking pick and roll.

[Spurs16212]

This is ridicuolus.... We are not matching Phoenix's intensity nor are the Spurs flexing their muscle in the first quarter. The Spurs better f...... wakeup in the second quarter before this turns into an embarassing game.

If we lose this game, we do not deserve to win the series.

[50 cent]

We should be imposing our will. Instead, they are getting offensive rebounds and getting all the loose balls. We suck so far.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

And just to clarify, the guys are playing charmin' soft right now too. It just pisses me off to watch us run the same damn play for an entire quarter, and for our genius coach to watch an emotional Phoenix team rattle off a 16-2 run while he waits for the first media timeout.

I realize the guy burned all his timeouts last game due to overcoaching, but at the same time he shouldn't be so damn gun shy about using one when he needs to tonight.

[Punkkboy44]

Has anyone vomited watching this shit....

[mavsfan1000]

Horry is really being missed because Elson, Oberto, and Bonner are playing like shit.

[Vingianx]

so let the implosion begin...

[Punkkboy44]

Please Put Your Kids TO Bed>>>cruel Punishment To Let Them Watch This Fuckin Fiasco!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We have scored on the pick and roll every time tonight. I'm glad we keep going to 4down :tu

[ATXSPUR]

Stick a fork in the Spurs.

if only we had the admiral and jax

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

If we called timeout only to go to 4down on this possession I am going to drive to SA and smack Pop upside the fucking head.

[SpurOutofTownFan]

I think shots were not falling down, that's all. It wold have been a different start if some shots would have fallen.

[nkdlunch]

the only reason we are losing is we are 0-7 in 3pt

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

That's because all we were shooting is jumpers. You've gotta go to the rack and get some easy buckets/fouls.

[MannyIsGod]

When the Spurs are struggling AHF can't help it; he has to blame Pop. This one is on the players, not Pop.

[Spurminator]

It's too bad Stoudemire and Diaw aren't seeing any minutes, I think we'd have a much easier time getting to the bucket.

[weebo]

When the Spurs are struggling AHF can't help it; he has to blame Pop. This one is on the players, not Pop.
You think Pop could get them to drive to the damn hoop? I think so... :bang

[beirmeistr]

Pop is stuck on 4down when we need movement on offense. Anyone watching us run 4down should realize the byproduct is a shit load of jumpers. This team needs to be going to the fucking rack.
You are right on, Aggie.
Get Thomas in foul trouble by attacking the basket relentlessly.

[Spurminator]

Trying to draw fouls tonight is a lost cause. Play your game, make your shots, and hope you have a good cushion with 4 minutes left.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Manny, we spent the entire first quarter trying to get Thomas into foul trouble with 4down. Run your offense, get everyone involved, get Thomas worn out on the pick and roll (and probably have a better chance of picking up some fouls on him).


FOUR assists in one half of basketball, because we're stuck on stupid (getting Thomas into foul trouble).

[MannyIsGod]

God damn four down sucks.

[Punkkboy44]

Hey..wake up the kids..comeback certainly possible...

[MannyIsGod]

No really. Running the offense through our best matchup and our best player is fucking stupid.

I fucking hate four down. Really.

[violentkitten]

4down is !@#$ing the suns right now

[Capt Bringdown]

Just as I feared, the Spurs are folding. Hey, let's give the Suns credit-they're beating our ass without their 2nd best player.

2 things happened in the 4th quarter of game 4:

The Suns figured out how to stop us...they figured us out in other words.

The Spurs lost belief in themselves and is this year's title run. Hence the frustration foul by Horry.

It's over.

[MannyIsGod]

We all know that if Pop was properly utilizing the freestyle control on the PS3 controller on the bench the Spurs would have open layups all day long.

[50 cent]

Good timeout by Pop there.

The Spurs need to keep scoring while the Suns are cold.

[romad_20]

The lack of penatration is fucking awful. Manu and Tony have gone to the rack about 4 times total. Can someone tell me who the fucking shot blocker is that we're sooooo scared of????????

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Yep, 4down is great. I loved it when Phoenix started doubling and we continued to go to it and let them punk us on D.

What is so hard to see about this? We aren't hitting our jumpers tonight. So why keep running sets that require everyone to hit jumpers?

We got it to 62-57 and we missed 6 straight three pointers while running the same fucking stupid set.

Pick and roll all the way Popdamnit. 4down is playing right into the one defense Phoenix has prepped to do - double Duncan. Screen and roll creates chaos at the defensive end for them.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

We pull Duncan and go screen and roll and score 5 straight. :lol

[romad_20]

We pull Duncan and go screen and roll and score 5 straight. :lol

Absolutely. I can't believe we haven't been running this everytime down the court when they doubled Tim. Did we forget who we have on the team???

[50 cent]

Ginobili's 3 wasn't a screen and role, but if it helps you with your "Pop is a dumbass" schtick, the whatever.

[romad_20]

Ginobili's 3 wasn't a screen and role, but if it helps you with your "Pop is a dumbass" schtick, the whatever.

I have no problem with Pop, it the lack of aggressive moves towards the basket and settling for jumpers. We have never been a great mid range shooting team and Manu is stuck on that and his step back three move.

[romad_20]

Now I have a fucking problem with Pop, great sub there with Vaugh

[Punkkboy44]

Duncan looks lifeless....wtf..Manu giving it his all..Tony is lost..still hope down 2..

[Punkkboy44]

FUCK!!!! Manu...damn.....

[Punkkboy44]

FUCK!!! Again..2 missed ft's..fuck.....

[blaze89]

When the Spurs are struggling AHF can't help it; he has to blame Pop.

You can set your watch by it.

[Fabbs]

Concur it was bad enough in the 1st half but when Phx doubled Tim and they had no clue how to react and Pop sat and nosepicked. :lol

Spurs players looked like high schoolers coached by Gregory Poppins. They are so programmed to stand around in 4 Dumb that they are baffled when the other team adjusts. AHF not only toss in a pic n roll, but create off the dribble? Get some movement before your shot. Standing ovation when Findawg dribbled from the trey arc toward the hoop and pulled up for the 12 footer. Those in between shots were open all night.

Does PJ Carlesemo ever comment in interviews as to how much say he truly has what offense is ran?

Hopefully Spurs can win at home because Gm 7 at Phx again could be scary.
