I agree totally, small ball, big ball, blue ball wouldn't have made any difference. Our main 3 guys couldn't even stay on thier feet they kept falling down and turning over the ball. Every one but Blair followed suit.
sometimes it can work for small stretches...but thats it. and there hasnt been as much small ball lately as there was today....during the third quarter(we were in the game up to then), pop went almost the whole quarter with a sub 6-7 lineup and it was exactly during that time than we went from being down 2 to being down 13-15 (game over).
no coincidence, as in that stretch they 'just happened' to dominate us in the paint and on the boards.
pop didnt put in tim or anyone tall until we were in a 15 point hole.
I said he's doing fine.
Would you say the Spurs hit more or fewer open shots than usual?
Guy has played a total of 30 minutes so far this year. He was 3-3 from the arc coming into this game. Too small of a sample size to make a judgement.
Its been played for long stretches.
Miss the Thunder and Laker games?
General Cus
Stop.
I think I'd like him better than Haislip at this point. He's been working on other parts of his game.
The Spurs would have lost either way based on how the big3+1 played, but Pop SHOULD have brought in Ian or Ratliff when it was clear that the team was sleepwalking..it doesn't even have to be for their skills, at least just to provide energy, which helps teams all the time..
That's what Haislip was supposed to do tonight.
eh? Can't handle logic huh
Tolliver was a nice passer
When the lead was double-digits with 8 minutes left in the 4th?..
They were sleepwalking waaay before that..
I don't think that's a good situation for him, ice cold until a few minutes gone by in the 4th, down double digits. What were they, down 13, 15?
No matter who, be it Ratliff, Ian, or MH, they could have been used for energy in the change-up in the first half, when the Spurs were just as sloppy and listless but were just hitting jumpers they'd later miss.
No, look in the mirror when you say that.
Haislip. Stinks. accept it, move on.
13 point lead at 9:16 that Haislip brought down to 11 eight seconds later.
Too bad he sucked horribly after that.
Pop hasn't figured this out yet. It's like he's trying to dispel everything people have thought of the Spurs to be and show that he's a versatile coach or something. Either that, or he thinks he's coaching the re-incarnation of the mid-decade Suns. Someone needs to enlighten him so that he realizes that (athletically) Duncan isn't Stoudemire, (style-wise) Jefferson isn't Marion and (style-wise) Parker isn't Nash. The Spurs are built differently (thankfully) and as such should be playing to their strengths. What's most baffling about this is Pop coached the very team that repeatedly snuffed out the Suns attempts to win a championship playing that way. Yet, despite all this evidence that suggests that the Spurs should not be playing small, Pop inexplicably is.
Then waive him. He won't be of any use if he isn't ready to play.
the lakers game there was ALWAYS a true big or two in the game...in fact pop pulled blair early on because the lakers have too much size and length. if not tim we had mcdyess and raliff in there at least. and for OKC, their interior is very weak so Blair sufficed. in tonights game they have big strong guys down lowand all-round more athletic players and pop played two 6-7 guys inside the entire 3rd hence them getting rebounds and getting to the line by simply pushing it inside where there was no one to contest .
Custer.
also ...Haislip should be the LAST guy off the bench..hes clearly the most raw guy on the team. Ratliff and mahinmi should have been in there much earlier.
Bogans. Stinks. accept it, move on.
waiving him is fine by me.
But having a team play sloppy and listless the entire game and wait until 9 minutes left down double digits to go to an out-of-rotation player for a game winning spark is a questionable coaching decision.
Yes, you're better than Pop.
You're all better.
Send in your resumes.
I just think the players should play better. I certainly can't play better than they can.
