Gooden injury possibility = must retain POPS

i really hope Gooden is NOT hurt and is able to play, and ill gladly concede he is preferable to POPS.

FINALLY, coach POOPS understands why Popovich would actually favor Gooden over a d-leaguer like Pops. Hallejuia brother

i just do not understand the stubborness of most of you people here.

I guess, we're just idiots who just don't get it...

but considering the health risks of gooden (and Duncan for that matter), and our already deep selection of guys who can run the point, why on gods green earth would be drop a guy with huge potential like POPS instead of JV?

Beyond the real chances of either player helping the Spurs at playoff time -- and I'd still contend that Vaughn is more likely to do something useful than Mensah-Mikan -- the choice to keep JV over Pops is a matter of economic sense. If the Spurs jettison Vaughn, they have to pay his salary for the rest of the year AND pay the rest of the minimum to Pops. If they get rid of Pops instead of JV, they pay Vaughn his salary and pay Pops nothing.

And "huge potential"? Really? Because the guy can dunk?

Look at what James "Flight" White parlayed his dunking ability into...

Spurs fans see a few dunks and think we've got the next Dwight Howard..

I'd take a possibly injured Gooden over Pops anyday, one impressive showing in garbage time against Clevelands scrubs does not make him a good player.

So i'm being moronic for thinking a D-League player who had a few dunks against scrubs is not the answer?

I'm still curious about what Pops' "huge potential" is.

Ask Poops who apparently can do a better job at coaching the Spurs than Coach Popovich.

Looks like the spurs front office are ing morons too, huh?

Go root for the magic..

This notion that Pops Mensah-Bonsu, based on a handful of garbage time minutes, could even remotely prove helpful against something other than a garbage time lineup strikes me as wishful thinking at best; more likely, it's pure-on delusional.

Could I use this as my signature? Please?
