Hairston is better than Finley and Bogans combined. Bogans has been a total dud lately. He looks like a junkyard dog, but he ain't.. If he ever had it it's all gone now. Finley should just voluntarily retire or sit behind the bench at least. How many pts has he scored since he's come back? Maybe 2? The Spurs were starting to come together a little bit here and there until Finley and Bonner came back, they screwed up the rotation. I think Pop takes slow for being cool and calm out there!!
THERE'S NO WAY IN THAT FINLEY SHOULD BE GETTING ANY MINUTES AFTER HAIRSTONS PERFORMANCE TONIGHT.
When it became clear the team was going nowhere back in mid-January Pop should have started blooding the youth. The FO should then have tried to pick up a young piece or two at the deadline. Neither of these things happened, and that has made this largely a wasted season.
Thanks Rockets for finally getting us a good look at Hairston! Best loss of the year if this turns Pop around about giving Malik time on the court. At least take Finley's minutes...
ok Pop that is how you negatively effect players, put in Hairston, who thinks he is going to play for a while then 20 sec later, take him out for the same guy he subbed in for ?
He didn't do anything wrong when he was in the game either
If Bogans didnt have that one fluke game against Brandon Roy, we wouldnt even be seeing this thread. That game was his turning point after being on the bench.
Bogans has had too many games as a starter with 0 pts. Let Hairston play, he is more active, efficient, would bring rest to some of your players for the 4th quarter surge.
Plus he is a much better rebounder
DUMB PLAY to go under an Amare screen and let Nash shoot an open three. That's why he sits.
Great post. Not.
So, with less than two minutes of game time, you expect him to come out at game's end and just make the defensive stop? That's putting a player in the worst position to fail. And what kind of sample size is two minutes anyway? Are you going to discount his 60% shooting, 7 rebound performance the other night? Because while it was certainly only one game, it was more than two minutes of evaluation.I mean, I guess your alternative is your defensive stopper. How is that working out for you?
Hairston sits because of 1 play that wasn't his fault?..I guess Tim Duncan, a legend, is an idiot for that play too..
If you're going to make an argument that a guy doesn't play because he makes mistakes(even though it wasn't his fault), then how do you feel about Bogans, McDyess, Jefferson, Hill and Blair?..
Amare appeared to be moving on that screen and Duncan was too far behind Amare to hedge onto Nash.
Both Hairston and Duncan deserved equal blame for that one.
Brilliant move by Pop to give himself an excuse for not playing Hairston.
BTW, how many dumb defensive plays will it take before Bogans and Mason stop getting time?
yes the shot was over hairston, and Hairston made a mistake, Nash hits those shots like nothing 90% of the time
You think Bogans would have done any better. Just glad Pop had Hairston out there for defensive purposes.
Still pretty sure Hairston could score more then 0 pts in 10 minutes of play, something Bogans can't
Why do you keep harping on that?
You are being incredibly dense lately. That was as much of Tim's fault as Malik's. Tim should sit. What about Amare going for 40? Who sits for that? Or who sits for the Rockets having 3 guys go for 30+?
LMFAO at you saying something like that when he thrusts a guy into the game out of no where at the worst possible time on one of the best shooters in the NBA.

It was a bad play but if he had been in there from the get go he would have had a better idea on how to play Nash. It's tough to go in and have to execute when you haven't been in the game at all until that point.
Some people are underestimating how stupid of a decision Pop made by putting Hairston in the game at that point..
-He's played 1 actual game all year..
-He hadn't played all game..
-It's a pressure situation that he's never been in..
-He has to cover Steve ing Nash..
What kind of idiot coach does that?..
It's like Pop is doing everything to put Hairston in a situation to fail. Is Pop butt hurt that Hairston is making him look bad or something? I just don't understand how he was used in this game.
The way I see it, Pop is setting it up for Hairston to fail. He keeps his ass nailed to the bench for ever and then puts him in crunch time to play the role that a Bruce Bowen would normally handle.
On the other hand, Bogans, the guy who's supposed to be Bowen's replacement, gets to start the game, gets to brick some shots and do pretty much nothing else the whole game, and then doesn't guard Nash on that key play.
What kind of logic is that?
Why do you keep sucking his ? If you people are whining about his PT in multiple threads, expect responses.
Pop's just putting him into situations, trying stuff, combos. The failure is on him. If he can't handle ball/man/score/situation now, how's he going to do it in the playoffs?
Yep it's all Hairston's fault the Spurs almost lost. It's all his fault Amare scored 40 points just like it was all hia fault that Spurs lost to the Rockets. Hairton is not the reason Spurs have been bad this seasn.
The logic and hate some are using here against him is uncalled for and stupid.
It would make sense if he had minutes EARLIER in the game..he's sitting on the bench all game and isn't in a rhythm, but Pop puts him in at that point with those cir stances?..ridiculous coaching..
It really looks like he's putting him in a position to fail, even though it sounds strange..
Funny that Manu was looking really terrible early season but he was allowed to play himself into the rhythm he is in now and he gets a free pass.
However your all on Hairston for the very, VERY little time he has gotten
