pop murdered him.
Another 0pt game
Is he just adjusting to his bench role and in a mini slump or we need to start worrying about Hedo - Part 2?
pop murdered him.
Adjusting. But it's hard to adjust not knowing what you have to adjust to with the rotation being in flux and all.
Was Hedo coming off the bench?
I agree with what some others here have said -- Mason and Finley are kind of the same player, especially of late when Mason has taken the habit of playing "ghost" games like Finley. It seems like every night we're going to have one of them contributing while the other disappears.

Mason will make clutch shots for us in the playoffs
He's not being agressive.
I think he only took two shots.
If he can't adjust, then he wasn't the clutch player we thought he was then.
Hedo was a starter
I don't know. But confidence is a huge issue here. It's worrisome.
Hedo came off the bench and was pathetic.
With Hedo he had to have his hand held.
With Mason its "pop's fault"
Go figure.
Mason is going to be another players, who have his games and simply shoted out (can I tell shot out , as being out of ammo ?)

Only 2 shots. Clutch performer sent to the bench, I'd say this one's mostly on Pop.
So Pop told him "take only two shots, become really passive"?
Interesting.
It all started when he started playing backup PG
come Sunday he will be the difference
I'll figure Pop knows more about coaching and coaching the Spurs players than I do. Amazing how quick we've thrown him overboard here.
I think he had a difficult time defining his role on the team once Pop stuck him at PG. He had to figure out when to become a shooter and when to become a distributor.
The guy is not a distributor and playmaker....he's a f'n shooter, a spot up shooter, at that. Having a varying role, after he had already found his niche, has f'd with his head.
We've already seen that Mason is most effective when he starts the game. He's even more effective when he doesn't have to be saddled with the backup PG responsibilities. A position he's simply not good for. Yet Pop continues to jack around with him. Much in the same way he's jacked around Hill. Is it any wonder their performances have been adversely affected by all this upheaval?
Mason's slump is all mental and not physical with him. Pop has seriously messed this guys head up.
Set the rotation + clearly define roles = CHAMPIONSHIP!
Well, maybe not, but that's what they need now: health and, of course, consistency in rotations, playing time, expectations, and performance. And where the is the defense?
Mason was doing very well in his role as a shooter/scorer earlier in the season.
Then Pop decided to use him as a PG, and we know the rest of the story.
Seems to me Mason exceeded expectations until Pop started this experiment. And I don't recall Hedo winning games for us with clutch shooting, so I don't think the comparison is very apt.
0/2
I agree, Mason has been more effective as a starter, and Manu is always Manu, regardless, so I don't know why Pop switched them, but it was a win.
The PG Mason experiment has also been a bad idea.
Nop, POP told him to take as many shots as balls you have
