How do you know I'm not a coach?
I could easily be Tom Thibodeau and you wouldn't know better...
Threads like "when will Popovich realize the obvious?" boggle my mind. Do some of you really know you think you know better than Gregg freakin' Popovich? Get out of town. I understand your frustration with Bonner is growing, but there must be a reason as to why Popovich is sticking with him and not playing Tiago as much.
With that being said, I have to say that I don't know what Pop's reason is ... it puzzles me lol.
But Pop is the coach and he's won four les and whatever else you want to add out of his resume. So I'll stick with his seemingly-delirious game plan.
Rant over.

Pop is a great coach, no doubt, but I swear sometimes he's drunk.
Okay, I'm not Thibodeau, but you get the point...
Ranting is one of the components for this messageboard. You are reaching too much buddy.
So you can rant but those that don't go along with your view can't? ok.
He won 4 les with different players and younger players so don't bring the 4 les discussion
Thinking Bonner over Tiago gives you a better chance at a le is the definition of a deluded spurs fan.
Ask ANY opponents teams' fans if they prefer Bonner over Splitter and their answers will give you an idea how stupid Pop is...
Pop has choked for going on four years now...if he does it again this season...what will be the excuse? (4 rings?)
And with one of the best pf/C ever to play in the NBA in his "prime" might have helped a tad.
His plan is destined to fail. It's unfortunate because this roster is pretty damn stacked.
Are you willing to back your faith in Popovich up with some cash? I'll definitely take that bet.
Decent troll... not great but decent.
"they made more shots"
I for one am tired of defending Pop on these boards. Sure, he coached the Spurs to four les; but let's be honest here, he did so with having two hall of fame big men. Almost any decent coach could have one les with both DRob and Timmy.
The thing that irks most Spur fans is he is too damn stubborn to see what's good for the team. Sure you can always say that he knows more than the average fan, that he has the pulse of the team more so than anyone, and blah blah blah. Whatever.
None of us here really know if Splitter is the answer to our le hopes. He may or may not be this much is true. But what is for certain is that playing Bonner and Blair together is just begging for an ass kicking.
It's not that I think they can't be important pieces to a championship run. It's playing both together that seriously puts the Spurs at a disadvantage. Neither is really any type of presences inside. Come playoff time every team the Spurs will face will have a formidable front line. That is where the problem lies with most of us fans.
Not true. He only won 2 with both.
4 les and he doesn't see what's good for them? Best record in the league, etc...The thing that irks most Spur fans is he is too damn stubborn to see what's good for the team.

Seriously, other than Tim, Tony and Manu, two of whom are at least 34, what does Pop have? He's got a European player no one wanted (Neal), a couple of rookies (Anderson and Splitter), one who was injured most of the season and one who didn't attend training camp and has seen very limited playing time. He's got Blair and Hill, two players no one else really wanted because Blair has no ACLs and Hill came from a small program. He's got a ready to retire Antonio McDyess and Jefferson. Oh I forgot, he's got Green and Novak too.
There's no way anyone puts these guys on top of the league at this point in the season. How can you say Pop is too stubborn to see what the Spurs need?
There are probably a lot of lesser coaches who might agree with you. They will be getting lottery picks this year.None of us here really know if Splitter is the answer to our le hopes. He may or may not be this much is true. But what is for certain is that playing Bonner and Blair together is just begging for an ass kicking.
It does not matter who the Spurs play. They are going to be hard pressed to beat a big front court 4 of 7 games.It's not that I think they can't be important pieces to a championship run. It's playing both together that seriously puts the Spurs at a disadvantage. Neither is really any type of presences inside.

you made good points there but you forgot the most important point, the "snowman" plays more than 25 min throwing bricks and sorry defense
Haha. I'm just saying, guys.
Some of us just completely overlook the fact that he's a professional, his job is to win games, and he spends countless hours watching film and whatever the else coaches do.
But is someone editing tape and not including the minutes that Bonner's on the floor?
Beats the out of me why Bonner keeps playing, but more why Tiago doesn't play ...
Manu, TP, Duncan, Bowen won those les before Pop. let's get that straight. Pop was instrumental in making defense a priority, but those days are long gone now and now he's just a detriment to the team at this point with his no defense bull .
I hate the snowman too... nothing I can do about it. I like him when he's shooting threes, miss or not.
Don't forget it took a Horry and a "in their Prime" Manu, and TD as well
Pop didn't decide to not have defense. He decided that decent defense wasn't going to win a ring, especially if his offense struggled. I think he expected better than he's getting though. He doesn't look happy and I am sure the team isn't doing what he's coaching most of the time.
the part that i don't understand though is when the has Splitter indicated that he's a detriment to the offense? all signs point to him being better both offensively and defensively than Bonner and Blair at this point. it's not like playing him suddenly makes this team a ty offensive team. they don't lose a step when he plays. there's no trade-off of offense for defense.
Your doing an outstanding job with the Bulls ElNono. Who knew?
When I said he's won four I meant he's won four during the DRob/Duncan era and later with prime Duncan.
His four les shouldn't give him a pass to screw things up now. He's playing Bonner and Blair together for ing sakes. Are you too stupid to see that bull lineup can't and won't work?
The Spurs have the parts to have a good team. Good enough for a championship run. Problem is Pop won't let that happen because for some reason he thinks he is the second coming of Donnie basketball with his visionary bull line ups. But please go ahead and keep thinking this combo will work great in the playoffs while a serviceable 7 footer rots at the end of the bench. Pop is failing the team.
Shut up I'm Phil Jackson.
He didn't throw his defense ideas out the window. Can you honestly say this current Spurs roster is loaded with defensive talent? Other than Splitter, whose still finding his way, theres not a whole lot of defensive potential on this roster. No Bowens, Drobs, etc.... that I see.
