damn, Chalmers with 80% shooting and 10 assists (!)
So what, I'd bet my house he'd rather be on the Spurs and had lost that game b/c it's the playoffs that matter to this team, and Miami won't be there.

Ouch, sore loss
How was Farmer's D tonight?
Does anyone get the feeling that Farmer's gone? His being the only one (out of him, Hairston, and Tollivor) to get any playing time probably means he's cut, doesn't it? It just seems as though Pop had made up his mind already, and give Hairston/Tollivor's minutes to Farmer to show-case his stuff for another team with an open spot?
It just seems weird that in a situation where three people are fighting for two spots, only one gets any PT while two sit on the bench the entire time and watch.
but 4 TOs. I'm happy with Hill, he seems like Spurs material. Good D, good at ude.
So Hill didnt play, Hairston didnt play and TOlliver didnt play??
Well, this concludes the Spurs preseason, and I have to say that I liked what the team did this year as far as bringing good talent to make the roster. Whoever makes it will be fine by me, honestly. You could argue that player A was better than player B, but in general you can't deny that all of them deserved a spot. We really were left with the best from training camp.
Now, let's start the season and as usual...
Yep. Hope Farmer made a good enough case to have Pop choose him over Tolliver.
Can anyone make some sense out of Pop's playing time decisions.
Farmer has already made the team and Pop's giving him his minutes?
Hariston made the team and Farmer is being showcased?
Something unknown to us that happened in practice?
The halftime interview did seem to suggest that Pop and the staff had come to decision.
Yeah, I have that feeling too, but Farmer has played some good basketball. I didn't know who he was when he showed up. All I know now is that the other two better ing bring all their effort to make me forget about him.
Pop didn't put Farmer in until 30 seconds to go in the second quarter. The halftime interview happened earlier today so it didn't fit with the reality of the game. We all just assumed that they'd all get playing time to determine who was on the team. It's probably that Farmer's getting cut. I can't imagine cutting a guy and not giving him a chance to play in the final game. I hope he gets a chance to come back and drop 30 on the Spurs this year.
So you think Farmer's gone Obstructed_View?
i was just at the game, and Toliver wasnt even on the bench, did he get cut already or what?
From the stats I've seen/ESPN gamecast, I think you're right about Farmer being a good team player. That, in addition to Pop's comments at halftime lead, I think, to two scenarios.
Another thing to think about is: how does Bonner's play affect the A-To situation? Bonner, from the looks of it, had himself a relatively decent outing. He's had a couple this offseason. Does his "stepping it up," as Tim would put it, mean that Tolliver is redundant? Might Tolliver's minutes have gone to Matty, who then showed why we don't need another shooting big man?
Why do you want him to drop 30 on us?
Do you think he should have made the team after tonight's game?
Interesting...
CIA Pop at work?
According to the radio broadcast, Mason was screened by Beasley and Bonner switched to Chalmers on a straight-on 3.
You're probably right, it would be unfair after all these guys have given to not give him a chance in the final game. That sucks though, Farmer was pretty decent. But Hariston is by no means settling, so I'm ok with the decision.
Yeah, I think he probably is. Bonner's good play may actually doom Tolliver. We can always hope.
I thought he should have made the team after the Detroit game, but if he's gone then I hope he makes a team and does well. If he gets on with someone and extracts a little revenge on the Spurs later, it's all in good fun.
Coach Brett Brown said in the post-game interview that he would be lying if he told you he didn't already know Pop's decision on who was going to get cut. The decision has been made.
It still puts a knot in my stomach that it looks like it's been between Farmer and Hairston all along. That pretty much means Farmer never had a chance because of Pop's crush on Tolliver.
How do you guys know that is the decision? Pop's had people fooled before.
being at the game i found farmers night to be impressive, no he didnt hit all the threes that we are used to him making, but he made several nice hustle plays. One included a dive out-of-bounce to save the ball (he caught the ball and threw it around his back and it bounced off beasley). He also had what should have been a block right before halftime, he was called for a foul, but i believe he got allot of the ball.
We don't for sure, but Pop's mancrushes can override his logical capacities at times.
