Would like to see to start Ian, Duncan, Manu, Hill and Parker with bench rotation of Blair, Dice, Mason and Hairston.
Finley, Bogans, and Bonner should only see the floor when we have a 30 point lead.
Let's hope Pop plays the rest of the season with the same carefree at ude of the last half of this game. Hairston and Mahimi stood out as pieces we need in SPurs rotation. Bogans didn't do , Fin didn't either, Bonner...A red-headed mannequin on roller bladers could have done more.
Pop...Please...I have a gun...its pointed at a cute kitten named Snuggles...please play these athletic guys...or BANG!

Bonner/Finley/Bogans need a DNP-CD for the rest of the year.
Give their minutes to Ian/Malik/Mason. Yes I would keep Mason in the rotation because at least he can shoot the best out of BFB.
Pop, Dice, Bonner, Bogans, Finley = a cancer that is eating the Spurs alive.
I love the acronym BFB as the three headed monster Bonner/Finely/Bogans.
Can we now refer to them as BFB since "with there powers combined," they form a giant black hole of basketball suckness.
Pop, Finley & Tony Brothers
Well, before some of you get too excited, there was a Spurs game in Houston a few years ago where the Spurs were down by double digits and were brought back for the victory due to an amazing performance by.....
BENO UDRIH.
I was at that game, and he was great. I don't think he got out of the doghouse even after that performance, mainly because he couldn't go the rest of the season without a turnover.
thats probebly asking to much but he might be doing those numbers had he been with this team getting minutes on day 1.
Definitely not, he's not that type of player at all..
He doesn't have the size to make up for his lack of a great handle..he's improved his ball-handling a lot, but it's not reliable enough for him to be a big scorer in the NBA..his jump shot has significantly improved too, but it's not good enough for him to be a consistent scorer..
I think he can be a stopper that can mix in some offense though, and that would be a huge plus for the Spurs..he has 38" vertical, he's deceptively quick for his size, he's aggressive and has a good basketball IQ, he's tough..he has all the traits of a potential great role player, nothing more than that..
Spur fans are not spoiled as so many like to say. We lost tonight but there was a lot of pride in watching the young guys bring effort and energy into the game. The first half was as bad as it gets while the second half was as good as it gets and Pop did not get in the way. Finally, got to watch some Spurs ball with some enthusiasm. Now, if Pop will just mix the young guns with the quality playing vets we might actually give somebody some trouble come playoff time.
exactly. Malik doesnt need to be a scorer. But if Bogans is the defensive stopper for the Spurs, then Malik should take his spot. Malik can take the role as the defensive wing sort of like Thabo Sefalosha or even Afflalo.
It's amazing the energy boost and lift that these guys infused into the team. The reserve squad had no trouble matching the energy and quickness of the Rockets.
best thing about this over other comebacks in blowouts with young players is that the rockets had many of their starters still in the game
No
Seems like the organization went full re somewhere around '06/'07.
Pop is scared he is going to ruin the chemistry if he throws Ian and Malik into the rotation. Yeah i'm scratching my head too..what ing chemistry? Throwing the youth in can only make them better at this point not worse. Our defense is atrocious and its not because people are missing rotations, it's because our old ass players can't keep up with anyone anymore and they end up giving up an easy bucket or sending them to the foul line every time. And honestly i'm really getting tired of seeing it happen.
Exactly. When you have no chemistry and no talent, what's the harm of subbing in some talent?
..the Spurs have barely played enough rookies the past few years to have players who struggle with "rookie calls"blair's really taking it on the chin for karma, then. add in the blair-hill spur snub @ the rookie game and i say san antonio have paid some outstanding balances in 2010
we can all live in hope
I loved having Ian, Blair, Hill, and Hairston in the game. They clearly appreciate the time and play with so much more energy than the vets. In fact I think they even got Jefferson excited about playing and acting as a leader.
We may have lost, but I enjoyed how Pop coached the game. He let Blair play through his fouls. Ian and Hill and Hairston trapping at half court is awesome. He let players work through their mistakes instead of jerking them around. The team played with intensity instead of frustration and surliness.
I'm worried that this game will be the only and last time I felt good about the Spurs after about the third week of the 09-10 season.
I think the Spurs are paying the price now for staying with the vets too long.
They can't realistically have 3 rookies (Blair, Mahinmi and Hairston) in the 9 man rotation and expect to compete for a championship. I doubt that has ever been done. Add in that Jefferson and Mcdyess are 1st year Spurs and you have too many players learning to play together all at one time.
come on, you know pop only played those guys in hopes that they'd fail.
Wishful thinking.
The only reason these guys saw the floor is because the team was down by a thousand points. The only reason they stayed in the game was because Pop had given up. They'll be back at the end of the bench waiting for garbage minutes next game.
it was hilarious to see, as soon as mahinmi goes in he stuffed the out of some rockets player's shot, he was patrolling the paint like a Center is supposed to do,he and Malik bringing energy and rebounds and turning the game around.
just like many of us have been saying for 2 seasons now.
but hey, pop has 4 rings so what do we know? pop is smarter than all of us internet coaches so if we cant see that the Bonner-finley-bogans lineup is the best, its only because we are all re ed.
