Mason can't organize a team like the spurs (can't play the point, tony barely can)
Hidayet = Mason ?
maybe
i prefer to have him traded along the lines with finley, bonner and the rest of the trash on this team sitting on the bench....excluding ghB
Barkley just said Mason Jr. needs to develop his game more and he can't be just a stand up shooter.
Dude, i agree pop kind of ruined mason...but any decent coach can adjust to a player like mason in a series. He's just not that good. He's very one dimensional-that's it. We can't rely on him being our main SG behind gino next year if we want to win anything. We need a multi-dimensional guy to keep defenders honest. He is so obviously not quick...his feet look like he's moving through tar. I say ditch him if you can.
Only one of the following should be on the team next year: Mason or Finley. They do the exact same thing. I'd take Mason and beg Finley not to pick up his option. Shit, a buyout. Whatever. He got his ring and lost twice to his former team. Hopefully that's enough.
Yeah putting him at PG was a colossal mistake. Be angry with Pop
Nah. Just blame it on the rotations and confusing line-ups.
Personally i never thought spurs fan were annoying until i read some of these posts. Seriously? His first year with the spurs, we probably wouldnt even have the record we have if we didnt have his contributions and now everyone wants to throw him under the bus. He just needs some experience. And no disrepect to pops coaching but i really feel like some of the decisons he made messed up Masons, Hill and Goodens roles.
Pop destroyed him by putting him at point guard. That said, yeah, Mason doesn't deserve a pass. Hopefully he comes back better next year and Pop's love affair with Finley has ended so Mason doesn't have to play out of position.
Yeah being played at PG causd him to fuck up consistently in his first POs as a Spur. Hope his real season nuts drop next year.Quote:

Mason will be fine..he was clearly killed by the PG experiment, it was obvious..
he's a role player, you guys can't treat him otherwise..
i think we need a new fkn coach to be honest....
Abandoning Mason would be a knee jerk reaction and stupid.
He's not old, and he's a three point threat. I don't see him as a Hedo. I have a gut feeling he'll be more focused next year. This year was just strange and stupid.
Keep: TD, TP, Hill, Mason, Gooden (with a full training-camp I think he'll be fine), Bowen (1 more year).
Gone: Udoka, Vaughn, Bonner, Oberto. Thomas maybe 1 more yr.
Did T Park just turn on Finley? Say it ain't so!
People on this board love "gut feelings". All you have to do is look at Mason's post season numbers to understand he will never be more than a decent jump shooter in the regular season that falters in the playoffs...Quote:

Quite the shocker indeed...Quote:

Mason understands his role..
he's a great set shooter..he's able to shoot well off the dribble..he has a quick release..he makes clutch shots..he can be a passable defender against SGs..
he's a bad passer, he can't drive at all, he can't play the PG position at all on both ends of the floor..
he's a role player..it's simple as that..he can definitely be used in a good role, as we saw earlier in the year..
