Now that's just retarded. I'm not a fan of giving Splitter a bunch of DNPs, but he clearly hasn't done anything to suggest he deserves to start.

Unfortunately the games are four quarters. Starting off strong is nice, but letting bad teams back into the game because you can't secure a defensive rebound or defend is a problem.

I hope they figure it out soon because historically the Spurs have kicked it in another gear during the stretch run to the playoffs. Now they're struggling to beat the Pistons and Kings at home? And the Rockets in H-town. At least thats supposed to be a rivalry game and you can usually throw out the records of both teams in those kind of matchups.

I'm not sure how much IF ANY, of this has to do with tweaking the line-up/rotation but it's worth mentioning if we don't bring it in Miami tomorrow.

yea but dice is not someone that will hurt this team in the post season. he plays great D on matchup nightmares & grabs/avrg's way more than bonners 2 rebounds a game... if we want the spurs to start playing better and to win a championship this year well...

you better hope the red head t-rex gets hurt because pop has convinced himself that 30yr old matt bonner is an Elite center that needs to play NEAR 30 minutes a F'in game !!!! me saying this should scare the shit out of other spurs fans!!!in fact pops love is so strong 4 that tard i already gave up on playing this year but now blair will be suffering because of it.

:madrun:shootme

this is what ill be doing VV


:worthy:

Its not like Manu ever liked coming off the bench. He said as much several times over the years. Blair didn't even say it, another player did.

Blair wants to play, nothing wrong with that.

If Blair were happy about not starting, I'd want him traded away.

Nothing to see here. Please let this thread die.
