how serious did they say it is?
I don't think we can get thate from the wings
Manu is already scoring like crazy.
RJ should score 4/5 more pts with Hill out
Mason is ice cold. I don't trust him to score 4 or 5 more per game
Malik shot is not going in. He needs to keep attacking to get some pts.
Bogans won't score more than his 5PPG
Temple is not a scorer at all. I'd rather see Jerrels getting some PT.
Defense will have to win games for us like today. I don't think we'll replace Hill scoring until TP is back.
And another question: who will start in place of Hill?
how serious did they say it is?
Im guessing Tony comes back for the Memphis game.. Hopefully we can get some solid games out of mason and RJ against sacto and phoenix.
Manu will run the point, mason will try to take the scoring load and the backup pg role
Another big problem: with TP out Hill and Manu were playing PG, Mason was playing PG for 2/3 minutes and very bad.
Manu is playing aroung 34 minutes a game so Mason would have to play 14 minutes at PG. That's a lot.
We had small ball. Maybe its time for big ball.
Dice/Blair/RJ need to step up. But, we're going to miss George's defense even more than his points.
Looks like he will probably be out until playoffs. nothing official yet but i would be surprised if he came back any sooner.
Maybe they will call up Curtis Jerrells?
replace it by luck.
Not many other places your gonna get more points from.
RJ could use the shots though, love his play right now,.
We are going to have to give Manu less minutes so the young kids and Jefferson are going to have to step up. Let's see who takes up the challenge....
What about Jerrells, Temple or (I know hes a 2 but...) Gee?
Bring in Alonzo Gee!
Unfortunately, Mason will get his minutes. Maybe he can play himself out of this slump.
The points aren't my biggest concern, the ball handling is. Sure, it's great that Ginobili is scoring at will, but if he has to work so hard to create/finish such a high percentage of the Spurs offense, then they'll be lucky to come out of this upcoming 4-in-5 stretch at .500.
Obviously, Mason will need to play more and Jerrells needs to be called up and play in front of Temple. Also, more of the offense has to be run through Duncan, Jefferson and to a lesser extent, Blair. Play through the post more because play making/dribble penetrating from the perimeter is now down to one guy and his minutes/load he's carrying need to be managed in this upcoming week.
Oh JESUS CHRIST, stab me in the heart already.
It's time for RJ to step up, but he is still out of position so much that I'm not sure he can do it. When is this guy going to learn the plays? Tim and Manu were on his ass all afternoon today.
so have they said how long Hill is out???
They have said he will be out for the rest of the road trip as he is heading back to San Antonio tonight for more tests.
Michael Finley needs to do us a big one and ask Boston for a release.
He does know our offense.
manu will score fifty if thats what it takes for them to win
Mason and Bonner are moe than capable of picking up the offense against the defensive juggernauts of Sacramento, Phx, Memphis and Minnesota. If Denver keeps playing the way the are now you could throw them into the mix, as well. In fact if we can move up just one more game in the loss column on Dallas before the season finale we will actually be playing them for the division championship as we have a better division and conference record than Dallas. A tie of records with SA winning the last game goes to SA.
They were really getting after McDyess during the game as well. Manu yelled at him after he bobbled easy passes, and McDyess needs to respond b/c this is the 2nd game in which I've seen Ginobili calling him out for that same mistake.
And now player after player has gone down with injuries until there are no other options, RJ has to play at a high level for multiple, consecutive games (2 at the most optimistic). His rebounding needs to be at least matching his March total of about 6rpg, and he needs to look for his own shot more often with an aim at getting the rim, and the ft line.
PLEASE GOD LET this go well, hope to hear some good news tomorrow on this here.
We can only hope for that there, that would be great! We have to win first though until then, get to that 50 first.
Scoring is the least of our issues. Points can easily be made up by allowing duncan, ginobili to take more shots.
The real issue is, we're ed right now because we have nobody who can run the point other than ginobili, and we can't have ginobili run the point for 48 minutes.
