Mason and Bogans are Pop's new soulmates now that Finley left Pop standing at the altar.
I don't know if Mason's shoddy performance will be the slap in the face to Pop to try out Hairston for more minutes. Hairston is looking dedicated and sharp out there. RMJ may have just lost his minutes in the next game. Maybe Pop doesn't want to discover a good young player in the last game of the first round again.

mason hasn't been playing well but when he is yall so called fans are cheering for him...give the guy a break.....like you can do better?i don't think so.....and as for hairston...the guy hasn't even played that much so you can't really say he sux....all I can say is mason keep playing your shots are bound to fall...keep your head up
I don't blame Roger Mason, this was really just a predictable result of limited playing time/sporadic minutes (one game 28 minutes, next game 3 minutes) all year long. Must get frustrating to have your minutes fluctuate like Roger's have been all year.
Not to mention constant lineup and role changes thrown in for good measure and you have a recipe for inconsistent play/unhappy player which Roger certainly is.
Mason sucks.
Nah, Pop sucks. Roger is a solid 6th man/bench player in this league.
Mason is a solid shooter.
That is it.
When his shot is off, he is the worst player on the team.
Yeah right, he will get more mins than ever the next game and then on after this game. Bogans will start too.Yeah that makes a good point there, we are not in the NBA nor getting paid millions! I guess that is our bar now? If we can play better than so and so or not? I hope to GOD NOT since we are fans and they are in the NBA.
This is one of the biggest myths on this board, that Mason can't do anything but shoot. That, and Bogans is some kind of great defensive player. Wake up and smell the coffee and quit listening to the lemmings on this board.
Fact: Mason plays passable defense and can actually create opportunities for others with his passing. He can also can handle the ball in short stretches.
Fact: Bogans plays passable defense and can't handle the ball or assist others.
I don't listen to anyone.
As hard as it may be to believe, I've been able to catch some Spurs games throughout my lifetime believe it or not.
no playing time or playing time all year, his performance today was turrible. you can't be an NBA-worthy player and go 0 of 8 from the field, esp, when you don't contribute AT ALL in any other areas, most importantly defense.
he won't be in the NBA next season. book it. this was his in game to show he can produce and he blew it.
mason can really help you or kill you though. he can go 5/8 one night and like tonight showed 0/8 another. but you can't rely on this kind of player for more than spot minutes when he doesn't give you anything else.
le of thread should be changed to wtf does pop see in bogans.
Pop knows Mason is trash which is why he doesn't play him as much. Mason only played tonight because everyone else was missing and Pop refuses to play Hairston for some ing reason.
i have been wanting mason to get more minutes but jesus, after last night 0 -for- 20 or whatever he was, just painful to watch, absolutely worthless lol.
play Malik instead
Good comment about wing vs. guard position. I guess I would hope to see Mason's time trimmed along with Bogans and let Hairston take the time at the wing for a game.
And this piece of get worst and worst
WAIVE MASON. He's a ing scrub
Play Malik
untwist your panties lol
Mason is not that bad, but right now, he is playing with zero confidence. That and he is not really an athletic type guy who will make plays when he doesn't have the ball. Hairston on the other hand made things happen, and he didn't have to have the ball. Mason had like 4 turnovers in a row, between him and Blair they had 6. Pop should have been playing this kid from the get go. What the .
he sees a shooter who isnt afraid to shoot and hits a shot once in a while.
Yeah, a lot of people don't get it. They just assume because both Hairston and Mason are listed as SG (at least as their primary position) that they're competing wit one another for minutes, but really, they're not. If Mason keeps this up, you might see the odd game where he get's benched for a half or a game and Hairston takes his spot in the rotation, but generally, Mason will play even if he plays poorly.
Here's why: he's the last NBA caliber guard remaining on the roster. Hill can only play so much and Pop will try like heck to not wear Ginobili out too much during this stretch, so someone has to relieve them of the ball handling duties and it has to be Mason.
As for Hairston, I suspect we'll begin to see more of him. Still a lot of games, including a few back-to-backs up coming this month, which means at some point the Spurs will inevitably (there's bound to be a few blowouts along the way) go beyond a nine man rotation and when they do, Hairston is next in line. In fact, if Jefferson keeps up this level of offensive inep ude, don't be surprised if Hairston begins to take more of his minutes.
The worst trades/signings are the ones that don't appear that bad until after you've wasted a lot of time and opportunity costs. Unfortunately, that's Mason's legacy.
Despite the early national buzz to the contrary, the Spurs would have been better never to have signed him.
You win some, and you lose some.
