Hairston already proved he is better then Bogans

[BlackSilver]

Play. This. Man.

[Chomag]

Hairston is the best Defender on the Spurs since Bowen. I wish Pop kept Bowen on as a assistant so he could help Hairston with defense.

Didn't Hairston also guard Lebron once pretty well?

yep , he also gave Tay Prince a fit.

[Chomag]

I think Hairston and Mahimni for Bonner/Finley and Bogans could perhaps be the best trade the Spurs could have made at the deadline. Yes over Salmons and Thomas even.

LOL Spurs inner trade. I like it!

[MaNu4Tres]

Mahimni/Hairston for Bonner/Finley/Bogans could do a lot for this team.

I hope this game wakes Pop the up.

If this game doesn't wake him up, I don't know what will.

[Obstructed_View]

yep , he also gave Tay Prince a fit.

And he dunked on Yao.

[BlackSilver]

Finley looks mighty fine in a suit...

[Chomag]

And he dunked on Yao.

Almost forgot about that! Someone here had a gif of it. I wonder if they still do.

[timtonymanu]

like I said pop should get cancer, car accident, heart attack, or fall and break his ass...

Pop is pissing me off too but death shouldnt be an option. You need to get a life.

[G-Dawgg]

I wish Hairston had a mid-range jumpshot in his arsenal.. He'd be a pretty good player. He drove the ball well tonite though, props to him on a nice showing!

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Every time I see Mahinmi or Hairston on the court they look like they can play. It just makes no sense that these guys are getting 0 playing time.

When you remember the fact that they're not over 30, you understand why.

Actualy he does have a decent jump shot now. He isn't a great shooter no, but he is a pretty good one,.

I hope youre re ed

[Buddy Holly]

The comeback began when he was inserted into the game.

[TimDunkem]

Yeah, he just didn't have many open looks.

[Chomag]

First game this season that Hairston got some good meaningfull minutes and look at what he did with it... He should have allready had these chances.

[HarlemHeat37]

The key with Hairston will be his confidence with his J in the NBA..

In D-league, he makes mid-range jump shots and 3-pointers very consistently..he shoots FTs at 85%..in the NBA, his free throw shooting has been horrible for some odd reason..his jump shot has improved, but we'll see how it translates to the NBA game..

he CAN shoot jump shots though, he showed it in preseason against the NBA guys and he shows it in D-league all the time(obviously inferior compe ion, but making an open jump shot is the same on any court)..

hopefully it translates to the NBA game and his confidence is high..

[sa_kid20]

I hope this game wakes Pop the up.

If this game doesn't wake him up, I don't know what will.

I completely agree but you know Ian is gonna be back in a suit whenever Tony comes back so the best we can hope for is for Hairston to take a good chunk of Bogans/Finley's minutes which probably won't happen.

I hope you DVR'd the game cause unfortunatley it's probably gonna be the last time we see Malik Hairston outside of garbage time.

[tothrowed]

seriously since we have no chance of winning this year why not start hairston just to get him ready for next year?

Parker hill hairston duncan dice

we have nothing to lose at this point.

not dice play blair

[ulosturedge]

Not suprised here. I've been vouching and pushing for Malik to get some PT since day one. This is all Pop's mess. For one he won't play young players unless it is absolutely the last option. But the complete undoing of Malik's chance to contribute this year was the signing of Bogans. Pop realized he made a mistake signing Bogans, but of course he doesn't want to look bad by showing he wasted more of Holt's money. So it was obvious that Malik was going to dissapear for awhile and Bogans was going to get every chance this year to show what he can do. Which is not much of anything...


And lol at people talking about Malik's jumper when Bogan's has no jumper and he is our starting shooting guard...Anything is an upgrade from Bogan's i'm sorry.

[easy7]

, I am better than Bogans...

I said in the game blog that Malik is a confidence shooter. When he is confident in his jumper he is a good shooter, but when he is not he can be average.

He had a load of confidence in the preseason though and Pop never gave him the chance to keep it going into the NBA.

At no point in the season, including preseason, has anyone in that position been worse than the guy who's started the vast majority of the games.

LOL well yeah Bogans is the best shooter/defender on the team .

It's going back a long way , but I recall wanting Bogans gone and Malik starting after that preseason and then out of nowhere Pop starts Bogans and giving him rotation minutes. I think Pop may have lost the season from that point on.

WOW that was bad decision making from Pop.

If it weren't so hard to do a search on this site, I'd go back and pull up all the game discussion threads in the preseason where we couldn't figure out why the Pop kept playing Bogans despite his complete lack of production in any capacity.

Man, I have idea why Pop chose Bogans after that horrible preseason over Hairston. He really did a poor Larry Brown impersonation this season so far.
