Portland gets A LOT of calls against us for some reason..in every game we've played against them this year, they've been getting the benefit of the doubt..

fin dunk.

[sammy]

Gooden is finally in! Geez thanks Pop! Took you forever! Of course, no Bowen! WTF!

[HarlemHeat37]

Tony looks horrible in this half, which means I have no idea how we're going to score..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Matt is also hampered by some bloody awful calls. He was standing there for 2 seconds for sake. That is pathetic. The NBA routinely messes up the block/charge these days and it's ruining the game.

Wow defend the jumper it does'nt go in.

[SA210]

we need Bowen

[SA210]

Gooden is finally in! Geez thanks Pop! Took you forever! Of course, no Bowen! WTF!

[Manufan909]

We need Bowen AND Hill.

[Chomag]

We need Bowen AND Hill.

But, but we have Finely!

[SA210]

Man Pops has not done a good job at all this year, Im wondering if hes lost it or if PJ was the brains in this operation

You've been fooled. It's not Pop. Don Nelson just lost weight.

[HarlemHeat37]

that 19 point-lead seems so long ago..

[Capt Bringdown]

Hill performs adequately for most of the year...and then he's benched right before the playoffs, when we really need him with Manu out....arrgghh!

Injuries are bad enough, but Pop's uninspired stubborn coaching is maddening!

[Borosai]

Everyone complaining about Bonner: you do realize that he's not playing any worse than any of the other bigs, right? Portland's bigs are making jump shots... on everyone.

[timtonymanu]

Duncan needs to score and Parker needs to get energy back.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Matt Bonner sure looks like a poor mans SF to me, hes not a PF or C.....Maybe pops should try him at the 3

Too slow. You complained about him getting burned, he'd be burned twice as badly at the 3.

He's a 4. The fact that we list him at 5 means nothing - Tim has been the 5 for 3 years now.

[DAWixard]

Please put Hill in TP neads a break he looks tired.

[HarlemHeat37]

wow Kurt..misses a wide open 5 footer..

[Spurs Brazil]

Five-Oh!!!!!!!!

[Horse]

Hear comes the ing bad calls.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Im being sarcastic of course, But for real, he is not a starter and gets busted up nightly. Im all 4 him being used as a mismatch player when it works but most of the time what he gives us on O is less than what he gives up on D.

Yup, he should be used when we need another 3pt shooter on the court, and that's pretty much it.

When you already have Fin/Mason/Bowen on the court, Bonner should never be out there.

[Spursmania]

Another stupid call, I'm sure.

[JohnnySixString]

Popovich has developed a bad drug habit and has been completely hooked since last summer. He's now resorted to betting against the Spurs game after game to fund his addiction. So any time they start doing something that works...he changes it up to assure he'll have his fix.

Either that or he's really not the ing genius some make him out to be.

[Borosai]

Williams on the bench. Hmm.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

David is such a gracious man.
