Hey Pop

[timvp]

Good idea letting the third best player on your team actually play. Great coaching

[mouse]

I didn't like the fact the Spurs go for back to back 3s when only down by 5 go for the for sure 2, then worry about the 3, and why wouldn't the other four Spurs players gather around the rim? when your down by 5 and there are only 55 seconds on the clock that next rebound could be the game.

I noticed Finley had a slam dunk you would think they would do it more often?

Bottom-line the Mavs have more stars on the team ,Spurs have a hurt Tim a tired Parker and a very old Finley.

do the math............ its time for some KFC!

[xtremesteven33]

wtf?

[E20]

George Hill. Pop must have read ST

[myhc]

LOL @ POP and the utter, miserable Mason/Hill experiement blowing up right in his face.

[stealthjbravo]

POP is a big fat juicy pussy!

[Mugen]

yeah george definitely didnt look ready today.

the only other player who could actually put it in the ing basket.

thanks pop.

[mouse]

POP is a big fat juicy pussy!

So your saying you crave him?

[romsho]

In a season full of questionable use of personnel, the most glaring was giving up on Bowen and Hill way too early. He basically went Benedict Arnold on his own philosophy...not Pop's best year of coaching.

[Phenomanul]

Bonner getting more minutes than Bowen hurt us today... especially in the clutch...

[mouse]

yeah george definitely didnt look ready today.
.

Once you put on an NBA jersey and cash a huge check you better be ready, why else be on the team?

even RodMan looks good right about now.

[SA210]

Bonner getting more minutes than Bowen hurt us today... especially in the clutch...

Pop sucked this year, BADLY

[Spursmania]

When can we get rid of Bonner and half the team? I hope this summer. I need to reread the threads.

[celldweller]

LOL @ POP and the utter, miserable Mason/Hill experiement blowing up right in his face.

Not to mention this ridiculous Bonner Love he has going on. What a waste of a starting position. It's actually 4 on 5 out there, He doesn't even try to set up for taking 3's anymore. I am literally getting sick watching this guy out on the court. He should be playing in Europe somewhere, not in the NBA. We gave this guy up for Scola? WTH!

[baseline bum]

Bonner getting more minutes than Bowen hurt us today... especially in the clutch...

Bowen played 9 more minutes than Bonner.

[E20]

Bowen played 9 more minutes than Bonner.

Bonner sucks.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Damnit LJ, you beat me to the punch...

Pop sucked balls today, Hill getting run withstanding.

* Come out to start the fourth of a must-win game and you trot out Hill, Mason, Bowen, Udoka, and Gooden. WTF?

* Run a set play out of a timeout down 3 or 5 late for Bonner to shoot a three. One, what the are you doing running set plays in the last 5 minutes for Bonehead. Two, props. You call a set play for a three pointer and he puts it on the ground and gets called for an offensive foul. What a .

* Chucking up quick threes late. It was a five point game with over two play, and you're rushing three pointers like there's 20 seconds left. Stupid.

What a Popdamn joke....

[Josepatches_]

The fact is that we are a good basketball team in December without Manu.Hill was a good backup PG and Mason was playing amazing and hitting big shots.
But Pop changed all.
And what's up with gooden today??

It's not wrong to say this roster can play a lot better basketball

[Dingle Barry]

What sucks is that none of the ing media will ask him straight up what in the his deal is with Hill. It was painfully obvious he needed to get serious time this series if for no other reason than the experience can't hurt.

[mouse]

Say what you want, the Spurs had the lead at some point and they had two bull calls when they was down by 3 and by 5 that really hurt them. Spurs make those two 3 pointers and this topic would not even be here.
If you don't like Pop or his coaching say so before you know the outcome of the game.
I know for a fact when Bonner hit that 3 you all wanted to toss his salad,
don't lie!!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

The only question left is who gets scapegoated as the team cancer that killed their chances in this series.

I'm guessing some combination of Gooden, Finley, and Bowen Even though Pop was the chief up on the sidelines and in the locker room.

[SpursFan0728]

I think you forgot Bonner Aggie Hoopsfan.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

I think you forgot Bonner Aggie Hoopsfan.

I didn't forget him. He deserves to be. I'm talking about who Pop/the Excuse-For-news will come out in the media in the days after the season and destroy. You know, the typical 'unnamed sources in the locker room say ____ was a team cancer'.

Sadly, Pop will keep the that is Matt Bonner around because he's tall and he shoots threes as some sort of never ending epic fail of an attempt to find a reincarnation of Robert Horry. So it will be one of the others.

I actually suspect that Pop will have his other man crush, Finley, back as well. So that probably gets us around to Gooden (he was a rental any way) and Bowen (he was in the dog house already). Or they might try to save Holt an extra quarter mil and dump Hill as well, so I guess it could be him.

All I know is Pop is a ing joke and when the season starts in the fall none of Bonner, Finley, or Oberto should be on this roster, but somehow I suspect all three will be. And that pisses me off.

[peter_slb]

I would prefer Hill didn't play a single minute in this game because now is even tougher to accept that we're 3-1, and that we're almost off the playoffs because of our coach. If Hill didn't play, I would think that it was a bad decision of Pop but he certainly knows better than us if he was prepared... now it's very hard to accept that we've a coach that can't see what the majority of the users of a forum can see clearly.

Play Hill as the backup PG all game, maybe that way we can keep Parker fresh, and still have a shot.

[baseline bum]

Bonner sucks.

Can't argue with that.
