I think McDyess and Mason/Ginobili must start soon.
We wont even get passed the first round if we have Finley starting.
We need to send a message to pop and start Mason
I think McDyess and Mason/Ginobili must start soon.
I LOL'ed...
I like mason starting 2 dat dude got ice in his veins
Yeah- he's so cold that he can't even hit the rim right now.
finley would do better against second string players anyways
Hairston is a better defender than both Finley and Mason... we don't really need their scoring...
yea bt he can shoot lights out man he jus need sum time in da starting line up YA DIGG!!
true true and he can finish at the rim POP Y CANT U SEE WAT WE SEE LOL
Mason isn't looking comfortable yet. maybe starting him next game would help his rhythm along side parker who drives and dishes. It's a different game when he is paired with gino and/or hill.
Finley = Ass when coming off the bench.
Mason was 0-4 last night.....just FYI
We scored 85 last night.....
How many points did Mason and Finley get in between them?
well findog is ass starting the game 2 lol mason needs to get hot early nt come cold off the bench.
Exactly
Finley needs to NOT be starting either way.
The Bulls shot around 48% in the 2nd half last night, so defense was a problem..
Mason's defense has looked significantly better than last year IMO, but he didn't shoot well last night, so it wouldn't have made a huge difference..he's still not a good enough defender to make a difference on the floor when his shot isn't going..
Mason and Finley are virtually the same player..as a lot of us have been saying all Summer, there's no point of having them both in the rotation..it really doesn't make any sense to have 2 offensive specialists as huge parts of the rotation on the wing when we don't even have 1 athletic/defensive specialist type of player..
Last night they were both missing their shots and not contributing offensively, so where was Bogans?..they signed the guy to stop people..his flaw is that he can't contribute offensively, but that should be ignored when the guys ahead of him are struggling with their shots on that night..
Hairston is a significantly better defender than both Mason and Finley..he also rebounds better, drives better, and finishes a lot better at the rim..hopefully he'll get a shot to help our perimeter D..
It's early but if this is the season that we are "trying to get back to playing Spurs Defense" can we do that with defensive liabilites like Fin and Bonner in the starting line up? Spurs can't win games that they don't score over 90 pts anymore. That is a huge problem. With older legs the Spurs are not going to run most teams out of the gym, it starts with D. Hopefully Pop can figure out rotations and our new additions (specifically Jeff, Dyess, Ratliff and Blair) can fit into the system. I'm not pressing the panic button after only two games but we need to see some progress in the next month for sure. These games became all too common last year when Pop rested starters midway through the 4th conserving their legs for the next game.
Couldnt explain it better myself
The Spurs are is still in Pre-season mode...
Bonner and Finley in the starting lineup look we tried Bonner in the start last year, enuff. Let's get some tougher guys in there and Finley starting is just ridiculous. He played well in game one because he shot well but seriously who thought that was wise. Finley is this team's Steve Smith from 2003, let's get some new blood in there so they can get accustom to things, I'd rather see Haiston in there he is familiar with the system and young.
I was hoping to see Haislip play looks like he would have been useful last night but I haven't seen him play yet, I'm talking size. Rebounding was definately a problem that could have been address had Timmy had help on the glass.
Sooooo....How many points did Mason and Finley get in between them?
You're saying that Hairston probably goes for more than 6 last night? I might buy that......
Are you also saying that he goes for more than 21 against the Hornets?
I disconnect when the team scores 85 and you chime in with "We dont really need their scoring....."
So after one game, you're ready to pull the plug on Finley?
Keep in mind that RMJ went for 0 last night. The big goose egg. Playing him against starters is supposed to help that in some way?
Mason was scoreless last night. I've never been a huge fan of his. I don't care for him starting much.
