Loyalty

The Life Cycle of a Fabbs Thread

1. OP with illogical or factually false premise
2. Receives criticism for OP
3. Hypocritically alters original premise
4. Attacks critics via clever combination of screen name with unflattering word
5. Doggedly resists all factual and logical opposition to position
6. Critics grow bored with educating him
7. Thread dies

And what would you know about "a small quantity of quality posts"?

It's over. Grow up. Take your needlessly obsessive bullshit somewhere else.

Shame on Pop for ending Bruce's career early. He was still the Best perimeter defender in the NBA.

Speaking of redundancy....I repeat:

Bruce was awesome. Bruce is gone.

It's over. Grow up. Get over it.

Did Pop not give Bruce a permission slip to play for another team after Milwaukee cut him?

Compare Bruces shot vs Fins shot last playoffs.
Plus for every shot Fins hits he gets absolutely roasted twice (3Xs?) by the other playoff teams 3/4s, ie Josh Howard.

In 2007 Pop had a say. In 2009 Finley had all the say. The Spurs couldn't trade Finley if they wanted because he hadn't decided to re-up or not.

And for the delusional, we all love Bruce, but face facts.

BRUCE WASN'T BRUCE ANYMORE. I'd like Bruce to mentor George Hill on defense, but the fact is, Bruce didn't have the legs to stay in front of anyone anymore for a significant amount of time.

Sadly enough I think this had as much to do with the fact that he was on the bench most of the time then asked to come in during crunch time get warm and stop the other teams ace as much as his age did.

The time had come no doubt, but I think he would have been a heck of a lot more consistent if he had been getting regular minutes vs spot duty. What was asked of him was a lot for anyone, much less a 38 year old graybeard.

Besides Finhog, now the Spurs have room to sign Keith Bogans.

We get to see if timvp was right.

I've heard Pop talk glowingly about him before. He said he liked his competitive and that he brings energy every night. I'm guessing he'll be in the mix for a minimum deal.

Personally, I don't think he's the right direction to go in. Pretty good defender but not anywhere close enough to Bowen's level to justify his below average offense. Doesn't help the Spurs in athleticism or anywhere outside of just being willing to defend.

---

Well maybe Bruce was unwilling to take what Bogans got, $1.03 million?

Bandwidth saver for the FabbsTrolls:
"You can't sign someone who is retired Fabbs."

I am starting to lean away from the old Spurs playbook of defense first And starting to make the transition to more of an uptempo style of game, which the Spurs are seemingly trying to make.. So it might not be such a bad thing, give the FO and the coaching staff a shot, we might come out of this with a bigger and stronger product then we have ever had here in SA.... Long Live the SPURS of OLD....
