Mason looks terrible right now, I would have gone with Hill, TP, Manu, Duncan, and KT in the 4th
I'm calling Tony out. I don't know if it's because he's injured and still isn't in form, but his defense has been non existent. I could give him a pass for the Dallas game because he just came back but his D tonight and in other games has been pretty bad at times.
George Hill I thought did really well tonight on D.
I wanted him on the court late in the 4th quarter along with Mason, but I guess Pop loves Finley too much for that.
Another thing is that Pop needs to recognize when Michael stinks and get him off the ing court.
Tonight his DEFENSE and OFFENSE were bad yet he still gets a ton of 4th quarter minutes. Mason only comes out with about a minute left in the 4th. What kind of is that?
Finley is not going to keep that up all season. Give MASON the freaking court time you fool Pop. Finley has got to learn to play in limited minutes. Don't get me wrong, but Michael has played very well of late, but if Pop keeps riding him like he is now then Mason won't have gotten enough court time in the regular season to integrate himself and Michael will be worn out by the time the playoffs roll around. Not a good scenario for either player or the team. Hill needs more minutes too. Especially when he is doing good on defense. I think we had some of out biggest leads of the night with Hill out there tonight rather that TP, but I guess that also had a bit to do with Paul on the bench at those times.
Manu has got to cut out those ing idiotic turnovers. He had some really bad passes that lead to turnovers late in the 4th quarter tonight. THAT IS ENOUGH OF THAT MANU.

And whats the deal with Tony barkin back at Pop? He needs to respect his daddy.
Agreed that Hill should have gotten more minutes. He was actually one of the most composed players on the court. Played very smart, good D, quality passing, good decision making. Lookin' @ Finley brickin' up shots and playing poor defense is frustrating. The guy needs to be more consistent.
The Spurs didn't lose tonight because of defense.
They lost because they went 0-9 from 3 in the fourth quarter and couldn't put the ball in the basket.
That said, I would have played Hill with Tony tonight and sat the Finley/Mason combo.
Maybe that would have been better Kori.
I just thought we seemed to have our biggest leads out there when Hill was on the court.
Maybe we could have attacked more with Tony and Hill rather than Michael bricking shots.
exposed
TP's lack of focus was obvious tonight.
- 1 play where Duncan had to cover for him, by going up on CP3 (on a halfcourt play, and it wasn't even a pick-n-roll)
- the Rasual player hustle play: TP grabs the offensive board, doesn't pay any attention, and Butler just slaps the ball out of his hands
- a bad turnover right after a CP3 miss towards the end of the game (Pop was pissed of at TP)
Bonner goes 0-1234124. Duncan dries up from the field. Ginobili turns it over like it's going out of style. Finley and Mason do nothing. Yet it's Parker's fault.
Gotta love Spurs fans.
It's Chris Paul. I haven't seen a team or player defense him well except the Celtics.
Tony is just waiting to be traded to the Lakers. He's gone Hollywood on us folks.
And if this is a thread to complain about everything, I'd like to say Hornets fans are much better than Spurs fans. They boo and applaud at all the right times, reacting to what's actually going on during the game. If this was in the AT&T Center, Spurs fans would have been cheering David West's 3's because they were distracted by the Coyote doing the 'steal the woman's purse' trick on the sidelines.
it's funny cause it's true

or we'd be sitting sitting down the entire 4th quarter. we fans suck sometimes.

Send them Spurs here in Phoenix. SA crowd suck.
Death, taxes, Tony Parker's the fall guy.
+ 1
but i love how the OP tries to bring it in a false "game thoughts" in his post when his le's thread and evrything he post is basically to bash parker. LAME. Hate isn't rational. no need to argue i guess.
You can't tell me TP is not to blame at all? And where exaclty did I say it is all Parker's fault? I've just had a problem with his defense that I felt needed to be pointed out.
What do you have to say about his porous defense of late?
I also did mention Manu's turnovers and Finley's poor game. What exactly are you trying to point out here?
Also, I don't care that Bonner missed a lot of shots. He played a lot harder than Parker on the defensive end. I'll give him props just for that.
I thought George Hill played better defense in his limited minutes on him tonight.
That was not my intention at all. I just wanted to point out Parker's bad D of late. I didn't say he cost us the game. I just don't like the way he's playing on that end of the court.
Then I decided to post about other quick thoughts. I had to go to work about 5 minutes after posting. Sorry if it wasn't organized to your standards.
Didn't say that. He obviously wasn't perfect.
However, read your thread le and realize that Paul had a very average game. If anything, it was slightly worse than a normal game from him. He's a damn good player and Parker defended him well for long stretches.
Saying Parker should have been on the bench in the fourth quarter is extremely irrational, especially considering he shot better than anyone on either team.
What porous defense? He sucked against JJ Barea but who else? He shut down Billups and did a good job versus Bibby. In the last game he almost shut out Westbrook.
I know Spurs fans first reaction to a loss is to blame Parker but it should at least be based in reality.
Manu was as guilty as TP for the loss... TP shouldn't get all the hate Fin/Mason/Thomas and Bonner should for this one...
Yup definitly. I also blame the economy on Tony Parker to. I just want to throw my shoes at him!
Let's just say Manu was worse offensively and Tony was worse defensively. Both were equally bad.
