When is Pop going to set the line up and stop screwing around with the rotation? Starting Finley in the second half was a joke. is Pop a defense oriented coach? If so why the heck would you start Finley?

I'm curious what everyone here thinks and what kind of lineups you guys would run? This is mine as of right now :

Thomas - rotate with Oberto depending on match ups
Duncan
Bowen
Udoka/Barry
Parker - I think TP needs to get it going early to be effective.

Ginobili - Bench is kinda crappy right now so we might have to move Manu back to the bench.
Oberto
Horry - YOU NEED TO LIFT YOUR GAME.
Finley - Only use when he is hitting shots otherwise sit. His defense is not consistent enough to be out there if he can't hit a shot.
Stoudamire - Give him a chance early, but if he's not cutting it go with Barry, Manu and then Vaughn last.
Bonner
Vaughn - get him out of there Pop. If Damon ain't performing then play Barry at point guard. The only thing I like about Vaughn is his hustle and defense at times.

Your concerned about defense and you want to play Brent Barry at the point?

Uhhhhh....

If you don't know Pop yet, he NEVER stops "messing with the lineup"

lol...all the way to a Finals game 7.

That's if everyone else isn't cutting it. We can't run Vaughn at point. Stoudamire and Barry's D is about equal, and Pop is playing Stoudamire last time I looked. Plus, who was on the court in the 2005 finals game 5,6,7 instead of Beno? Barry.

The Spurs offense still doesn't look that good with out brilliance from Manu, Tim and Tony. Barry would also help improve the offense.

Vaughn getting the minutes he got in this game simply cannot be explained. He brings nothing but tenacity on defense, but no one was stopping AI tonight, so we needed fucking points.
