ian mihimini for hamed haddadi
Wouldn't that be crazy if 50+ people organized outside the practice facility holding up signs asking for a defensive Big to take the pressure off our scorers trying to do 100 things at once and managing to do none of them? And wouldn't it be crazier if Pop came out and told us wtf is the deal with playing small ball and it turns out he's been resting Ratliff and Manhimi for the playoffs...like secret weapons!
Especially now that we don't have Bowen to shut down the other teams hottest guy on the perimeter....its time to get back some resemblance to the Twin Towers
Yep. Everyone knows this, but it seems to not matter. We still play Small Ball, even though its a system that doesn't work in the Playoffs or against good teams. This is a Big Man's Game, and we need Big Men to win.
What the was the point of signing Theo Ratliff if we weren't going to use him? Seriously, what the ? I really want to know the answer to this question because its really starting to piss me off.
Time for Pop to pull out his greatest CIA move ever. He needs to go to Danny Ferry and say if you value the life as you know it, you're trading Lebron for Jefferson straight up. If not, so help me god I'm going Jack Bauer on you and I'm also bringing up dirt you didn't even know you had.
I remember early in the season when they lost to Denver or Phoenix (can't remember). I was reading how many fans out there were bashing some of the "realist" posters who knew this team was going nowhere. Where are they now?
A defensive big not named Duncan will only ride the pine, since Pop loves midget ball.
pop's foolishness is goin to cost us the season
It's a miracle Pop even plays Blair. Really think about it. Pop just loves old vets, no matter their size. He's trying to milk these guys for everything they have left, but there isn't anymore. While that's happening guys that maybe could make a difference aren't playing. I can't defend Pop anymore..

or he could also point a gun at Pat Riley to trade him D-Wade
THIS IS THE TRADE THAT NEEDS TO GET DONE.

I doubt Nellie is that stupid
Monta Ellis is poopy.
I have him on my fantasy team and he scores a ton but takes ill-advised shots and commits a sick number or turnovers.
I'd take Maggette b/c he gets to the line a bunch.
Spurs need a 6-9, 6-10 athletic big to defend the likes of Odom, Dirk, and the like. For no other reason, just to kill small ball. Please.
News Flash,..
Chucks waaaayyy late on this one,..
It's been explained in detail specifics here,.. http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/show...=142505&page=5
Having Blair and Bonner as our Bench Bigs is 100% fail defensively. Blair is good, but no matter how good he is, he is only 6"7, and that hurts us A LOT defensively. Having Bonner in there with him really is just a joke.
I thought this was why we signed Ratliff? And what about Mahinmi? Does Pop hate Big Men or something? He stresses Defense so much but then puts in these crappy small ball lineups? Doesn't he understand how stupid that is?
Ugh, save us Tiago.
AJ would take this team to the Finals...
Barkely doesn't watch the Spurs on a consistent basis. He watches the Spurs at least 10 times a year in the regular season give and take.
He's taking what he saw out of last nights game, which we played small ball for at least 20 minutes out of the entire 48 minutes.
McDyess has been playing great the past few weeks. He's more than capable just as much or more than any big man realistically available. Spurs also have Mahimni and Ratliff who they never use.
Pop needs to use his personnel correctly. He has been one of the best X's and O's coach in league history but the past two years, he's been one of the worst at game management in terms of subs utions in certain situations.
I take Barkely's opinion with a grain of salt.

That trade is pathetic.
Hopefully we have all learned a valuable lesson. No matter how many good perimeter players you have (TP/Manu/RJ/Hill) The game is won in the paint by the big men scoring down low and protecting there own basket defensively. Remember when.......Duncan/Robinson - Duncan/Mohammed - Duncan/Oberto. Then the bottom fell out - Duncan/Bonner - Duncan/RJ. RJ stinks yes, but playing PF was not what he was brought in for. He is expected to stop guys who are 6-10 and taller while he gets no opportunity to punish them on the other end. He sucks, but that still not fair to him. The spurs were good cause they would build a defensive wall starting from the perimeter forcing guys to the side and eventually to the baseline or underneath the basket surrounded by big men. Now just run a simple pick n roll at the top and you have a clear path to the basket against the spurs with minimal if any help. Small ball can win games here and there, but in the playoffs and against solid contending teams it means nothing. Note - the 2004-2007 suns. Yeah they were exciting to watch but where did it get them?
pop plays smallball cause he's an idiot. If even you the fans can realize that smallball aint the answer, I guess that makes Popo the dumbest person in the world. Uh Pop, you played and knocked off the Suns how many times cause they were playing smallball. Lots right. So why do you think emulating the Suns is gonna help you win? You are a complete dismal-dreaming bum-baily....
Also running Bruce Bowen plays for Jefferson don't work. He's stuck in the CS days of 05 & 06. Jefferson don't need 2 go, Parker with his I wanna play for my NT ass needs to go. He can't set anybody up but Duncan. Pop needs to get new plays. He run all kinda plays for Hill but we Paid millions more for Jefferson. That's crazy. He has no Sf plays in his playbook but sit in the corner & the ones he's always ran for Finely. Jefferson has had a couple sig plays ran for him an he made good on them. POP ITS TIME FOR A NEW!
Small ball WOULD work if RJ, Tony, Hill, Mason, Bogans were hitting their GOTDAYUM shots!!! All I saw was wide open CLANKS last night........
