well if he stays pop needs to stop with the
pg-vaughn
sg-manu
sf-bowen
pf-horry/elson
c-oberto
no more of that
yeah, pop dont know what the fuck he doin
No offense in that lineup AT ALL besides Ginobili. And he's not really a first option.Quote:

yes i kno..that was pops way of "getting manu going" i hated it when he would do that...ur basically giving the other team a chance to make a run...pick and roll with manu all night long...Quote:

spurs should always have 2 of the 3 on the court at all costs..
Brevin Knight's jumper is WAY worse than Jacques'. Someone with the (misplaced) word coach in their handle should at least know the games of the players he's pimping.

nope..
jacque vaughn dreams about being the point guard brevin knight is
Jacques Vaughn IS the PG that Knight is. They're the same fucking player: quick ,heady playmakers who couldn't make a jumper to save their lives.Quote:

Where Vaughn gets in trouble is when he tries to drive the ball to the basket.
If you want to compare, Manu shot 33% on his midrange jumpers and Parker shot 42.2% on his. I have no problem with Vaughn shooting his midrange jumper as he's one of the best on the team at hitting that shot.
Just for the sake of reference, here are the closest combinations I can find to that one and how they fared in playoff games:Quote:

That was Vaughn playing with the sort of bad offensive units that you're worried about. And, somehow, with those bad offensive units, the Spurs outscored their opponents.Quote:

Even if it's only +1 or +2, it's substantially better than falling behind because Parker is on the bench -- particularly because the Spurs are generally going to outscore their opponents when Parker is on the floor.

We need some flash, baby -- more steals, more penetration, more threes!!!

Why bring in someone new who would be a marginal upgrade at best? Or maybe the new guy can't fit in at all. With Vaughn you know what you are getting.
After playing well in the second half of the regular season, Vaughn's offense sucked during the playoffs with the key advantage of not sucking as much as Beno. His defense was ok except that he couldn't even slow down Nash. But like almost every player that comes to the Spurs, he should be better in his second year. It is fool's gold to expect a new player to fully adapt to the Spurs in his first year.
