so....where was Mahinmi tonight!?

[SPURSGOAT]

I thought for sure he would be playing against the Lakers; especially how good he did against New Jersey.... He wasn't even in the box score with a "DNP - Coaches Decision"...

[Capt Bringdown]

I was wondering the same thing. Bizarre.

[superjames1992]

We won, so I'm not worried about it!

[ffadicted]

Now you guys are asking too much of Pop lol

[raspsa]

It was a tuesday so Pop decided not to play him.

[angelbelow]

I thought it was justified. Ian is still very inexperienced and it didn't look like we needed his athleticism tonight so its no big deal. He'll probably get a nice run against OKC tomorrow.

[EricB]

Dice played very well and with no Gasol the Lakers played uber small ball, so he wasn't a good match.

[nbaman99]

against thunder tomorrow, he will play resting duncan more.

[HarlemHeat37]

It was more interesting seeing how McDyess and Ratliff would respond IMO..

Mahinmi has to play tomorrow though..it's against a team that always takes advantage of us with their athleticism, and I'm expecting Duncan not to play anyways..I'd rather he get more minutes against teams that are inferior to the Lakers, and hopefully we see what he's got the next time we play LA..

that's if he's even still on the roster by then, of course..

Ibaka vs. Mahinmi would be a nice matchup to watch..

Because with the following minutes:
Bynum 42
Odom 40

"the Lakers played uber small ball, so he wasn't a good match"

Your comfortable with Ian Mahinmi guarding Lamar Odom?


Why am I even bothering...

[DesignatedT]

who cares

[exstatic]

I thought for sure he would be playing against the Lakers; especially how good he did against New Jersey.... He wasn't even in the box score with a "DNP - Coaches Decision"...

So, because he did OK against the WORST team in the league, he's going to play against the BEST team in the league?

[ducks]

I want him to stuff durant

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

TBH i would rather see theo out there than ian for defensive purposes but ya...now that pop is prob gonna rest TD for tmr's game , ian should get some playing time against OKC

[ffadicted]

Too true, espescially if Timmy gets a DNP-CD like I expect him to

[Fabbs]

The Kobettes are a .500 team when Kobette has no one to lead him.
It's been verified over and over.

The Lakers are not the BEST team when their BEST player(s) are out.
(Gasol and refs.)

[Rito3d30]

Hope Mahinmi will get lots of minutes for the b2b game tomorrow night

[Fabbs]

Your comfortable with Ian Mahinmi guarding Lamar Odom?

I don't know. Because you know FinleyBonner guarding Odom is the much Poppier choice.

owned!

[objective]

he was activated, and that's a start

[androck]

The Spurs declined Mahinmi's rookie contract option already. He won't be a Spur next season.

[AFBlue]

I wonder if Mahinmi gets a start tomorrow.

I swear to God if Pop trots out a starting lineup of Dice and Ratliff again I'm going to shoot someone!

What if its Ratliff and Blair?


Starting lineups are so overhyped around here...

[Nathan Explosion]

I wouldn't mind Ian getting some minutes against OKC. Put Haslip on for a bit and see what we've got there while you're at it.

[Chieflion]

Pop was about to play him with a minute left in the game, too bad there was no whistle. He was kneeling in the middle of the court.
