where the is our help defense!
At this point, I miss Warriors defense.

Its early and the season and I realize that....but....
Jesus the defense is bad. The Jazz have run screen galore tonight and the defense is horrible. Did these guys forget how to show off screens? They do it for a bit after timeouts but then they forget too. The positioning is horrible as well. The Jazz have simply picked apart this defense.
The silver lining is this will lead to what is hopefully a productive film session.

Ya, it will look like a snuff film.
horrendous...I miss Bowen terribly...I'd take an 86-85 loss like the Cavs had today over this
If Pop could toss in chairs he would. But it's still too early in the season.
It's not like Pop doesn't have a big part in this..
play ratliff. play mahinmi. what harm is it going to do? can't be any worse than how they're playing now.
Hairston should be the first guy to play IMO..he earned his spot in camp and preseason, he knows the system, he fills a glaring need, he's a smart and tough player..
Ratliff should be a given, but I guess Pop hates his offense..
If you cut off my leg. I think I'd ply better D than bonner.
Mahinmi? :LOL We want better defense, not worse.
I think they'll be fine, but for the most part you can tell a lot of the team is new to the system because they're simply bad as positioning so far. The Jazz did an excellent job with screens tonight and passing out of them.
Pop sold out a few years ago
still early in the season.....
Proudly wearing penguin outfits now....
The Jazz are the perfect team to expose our defensive weaknesses.
Normally they execute as well or better than any team not named Celtics or Lakers. They also have the players to beat up on our guys and get into our "it's always a foul" heads. And at this point Sloan knows we are not quick on our rotations so he will be pick and rolling and back cutting us to death.
Even Kirilenko went one-on-one.
we just need to give up every one of our offensive possessions, and work defense during these next games. Repe ion is key. The more shots we give the opponent the more practice we'll get.
I LOVED those days. Bruce Bowen was my favorite Spur to watch. It was great watching him match up on Dirk and give him a hard time the way he did.
There are better ways to work on defense than that. It can become the primary focus during practice
I can excuse new guys for not knowing the system, but a couple of starters we have have been here for a few seasons, their D have always sucked, and they still play the bulk of minutes. That's on the coach.
I miss Pop calling a timeout, yelling at somebody's face, then sitting him in the doghouse for the rest of the game. At least you could see he cared and took pride in keeping a high standard.
Nowadays he looks between puzzled and bored at times. He gets pissed occasionally, but there's are no consequences for screwing up.
jefferson has the tools to be a good defender but i don't think he has the toughness it requires. defenders like bowen, artest, and battier made it their purpose in life to shut down the opposing team's best player. don't know if jefferson possesses the same passion. it's actually kind of surprising how bowen made the spurs' defense look so good. too bad he's too old now.
I sense the starting of Dice soon. Not knocking Bonner, but it may help DIce shake the rust a little faster. Also, I think it may be time to attempt acclimation of Mahimi. Since these games don't seem to count as much now is a good time
We need to change our starters now!!!! We been murdered in the 1st quarter and that sets the tone for the rest of the game.

im not going with the trend here by any means listen pop is not allowed to up esp. this year with what holt did! im very confident that if our players are proven consistently to screw up (bonner,finley) they wont be starting very long but you have to make a rational decision remember every move is so important. now if they dont improve going to the bench and start playing good basketball then i say you could possibly see a trade! but as for now look for the starting line up to change manana and if it doesnt dont freak out pop will figure it out. i really do hope hes working with haislip and hairston because if hes not thats a problem, other than that just chill to the next episode
