His ass needs to stop passing up open 3s.
I did? Er...yeah that's right I did.
I dunno...Seems like I thought putting Bowen on Paul and everyone else sticking to their man would be enough...however I am now willing to reconsider that opinion as a bad one.
If Paul is going to light everyone up we might as well put Parker on him and let Bruce take Peja out of it. And hope the D holds up against DWest.
LOL...he never does what I want anyway unless I bet against him.
Talk him out of it.
Please?

On a side note...Udoka against Bonzi tonight was a sight for sore eyes...Udoka on the court at any other point, was not.
Whatver...anyone shooting 70% from 3 needs to be on the court...whether they are passing them up, or not. Get ing serious.
Yeah, if the Spurs could make 45 situational subs utions per game they'd be fine.On a side note...Udoka against Bonzi tonight was a sight for sore eyes...Udoka on the court at any other point, was not
Your arguing a totally different point sunshine.
Stupid post. "S mode?"
It's been a total team letdown, to blame this on Pop is ing silly.
Does he has a part in this? of course he does. his 2nd half adjustments obviously haven't worked but that doesn't account for the team's complete lack off effort in these first 2 games.
If anything I guarantee Pop draws a great game plan to take game 3 handily. It's whether or not we respond in game 4 to even this series.
Pop has been brutal in this series. It all started with that dumb hack a chandler before the half in game 1.
Lack of effort BS.
Hes not putting Bowen on Peja and shutting him down.
If he would do that, shut Peja down, and get him rattled like his Sacramento days, then this series takes a 180 degree turn.
Gauran ing teed.
Barry is fine. He just need more minutes. He's hesitating ... but so is everyone else. The shooters as a group need to figure out the ball movement, the spacing and who to get the ball to and then they'll start dropping them. The Spurs have proven playoff shooters ... this isn't like 2004 when the Spurs were relying on young players.
Barry needs to play 25-30 minutes against a team that is sagging into the paint. This is the reason why he's on the team. You don't put Barry against a team that is sagging, might as well not have him on the team.
Bowen on Peja for the entire game. Take him out of the series. Bowen needs to take the open corner threes.
Finley can guard Mo Pete. He needs to take the open looks and hit ~40% of them.
Ginobili needs to take the open threes. If he's not open, he doesn't need to force any stepback three-pointers. Just rotate the ball and they'll eventually be a three-point shooter open.
No more minutes for Udoka ... we as Spurs fans need to face the fact that he's a playoff choker. Some players can shoot in the playoffs, some can't. Udoka is in the second column. I like him against Bonzi but he's Hedo-esque on offense.
Since 1995, the Spurs have been down 0-2 in the playoffs four times and each time they've lost. 1995 (Rockets) 1998 (Jazz), 2001 (Lakers) 2008 (Hornets)
Agreed.No more minutes for Udoka ... we as Spurs fans need to face the fact that he's a playoff choker. Some players can shoot in the playoffs, some can't. Udoka is in the second column. I like him against Bonzi but he's Hedo-esque on offense.
Udoka has been a dissapointment all season long unfortunately.
Cool.
How bout them ping pong balls?
Naw he was pretty good in the regular season. He's just not a playoff shooter. A lot of players ... even some great players ... can't hit shots when it matters.
That's why you have to wait until the playoffs to see whether a perimeter player is championship quality or not.
Udoka's probem is that he can't hit spot up threes...he's got to be moving. It's not his game...it hasn't been all season.
If you could combine Barry's shooting with Udoka's defense that would be a $50 mil player.
His offense has been spotty all along. I'd say watch him go out and hit four in the next game, but I don't think he's going to get the minutes to do it.
Eh, Udoka was supposed to be the answer to guys like McGrady, Nowitzki, Bonzi, and others.
He hasn't guarded the long 3s well, and he has failed to come through shooting wise.
The team is back to being paper thin at the wing position defensively.
By the way Pooh...care to tell us how many times the Spurs have lost 2 in a row on the opponents home court since 1998?
It's happened a bunch of times...and the Spurs have won those series a bunch of times, they've gone on to win les in those years a bunch of times. That's all this is...it just feels different, becuase usually the Spurs have home court, but it isn't really any different than any other series where you lose 2 on the opponents home court.
I disagree. Udoka's problem is that he doesn't take enough of them. If he's wide open he dribbles up closer and and takes a two with a hand in his face. He never learned that he's not supposed to be facilitating the offense, and that the three is the shot the offense is setting up for him.
Maybe he gets it next year, who knows.
BTW, didnt' Sean Elliott used to be a playoff choker, then in 99 just "turned it around"
All of his threes during the season were spot up threes. He just can't hit them when the count. Honestly, even during the regular season, he was probably like a 20% shooter in clutch situations.
not at all. I remember Sean single-handedly carrying the spurs against Portalnd in the playoffs during his rookie year.
