I didn't get it either. What did he do to piss Pop off? He better play against Aldridge though or we're going to get reamed on the front line.Quote:

:pop: "They just made some shots"
:lol the refs missed calls on both ends.Quote:

You shot 40 fucking FTs how many could they have really missed for denver?Quote:

In the end this loss goes to Pop for not going to Neal in the second half and for riding with Bonner for so long. If players were tired then Pop should have given some minutes to the DNP guys. His decisions stunk to the end when he had a chance to take the lead and Parker wanted to call a timeout but Pop just looked the other way.
we lead the league in fts and attack the basket non stop.Quote:

but dont make it sound like of all the missed calls, they were all against the spurs. that sounds stupid.
75%? really? and if its the right call, late is better than not making the call.Quote:

The refs called a lot of fouls in favor of Denver but Denver players put themselves in situation to get that calls we just spend our night to JS you're absolutely right thats on the Spurs.Quote:

The body language in the last 6 mintues in the game is what told it all. They didn't want to win, poor shot selection, nobody was moving around everybody was standing around the 3 point line including guys like splitter and mcdyse. Then they show pop on the bench with that duhh look in his face. It's to far into the season for these guys to come out and look like they have no clue of what the heck is going on out there.
the lose was just a sorry performance in the 4th quarter and the refs...could of should of....spurs should of won the game but gave the game away....if duncan was in the line up the spurs would of won by 20 pts...
Fail. Splitter was subbed out with 6 minutes to go in the third and never came back in.Quote:

That two man trap doesn't work if you hit the rolling Blair when he sets h\the pick on the guard and the guard goes under to trap, Blair does need to hit the little lay-up or 6 footer in that instance but he did on a few of those he also muffed a couple (part of which I blame on playing with a wrist at 85%) Would also have been a good idea to post him on Chandler who doesn't like to have to play physical interior defense, but does like to swat shots on help defense.Even if blair pick up an offensive foul on a couple of those possessions getting charged by blair throw chandler out of his offensive game. The spurs need to have some inside offense. It lets people have a step and in Bonners case he doesn't do contested will if his man can just camp on him, nothing is going in from bonners hands.
This. Sometimes I just have no clue what Pop is thinking. I admit that he is more often right than wrong but he is just so damn stubborn.Quote:
