What would Pop-a-Moron do without Ginobilli?

[Fabbs]

After getting owned at home in the 3rd quarter (again), this time by those baddass New York Knicks, an 82-82 late tie and then GNob takes over.

Thank you Manu!!!

Since Zit cannot match strategy wits with a 4 year old, what would without players like Manu, SJax and Kerr (2003 playoffs), Bob Horry, players who can think and act for themselves and go outside of Pops idiotic **system**.

[TJastal]

At least he gave Malik some pt tonight, didn't really have a choice with how cold Roger is but it was nice to see anyway.

Now if only Roger can get his confidence back and take Bogans spot I think we'll be looking pretty good for the playoffs

Words highly controversial, this post will be lengthy

manu is the only playmaker on the team.... this team literally doesnt have a point gaurd.

tony is a lot more valuable to this team then people seem to think

agree.... but that is ALSO Pop's fault.... why don't get a freaking back up PG after he already knew (last year) that mason and hill can't freaking handle the rock????? that's just stupid.

A team with no point guards or centers. Truly, pop is a genius.

Lots of haterade from the OP.

Pop did a good job - of course you let a Vintage and red-hot Ginobili do his . He gave Malik minutes and he seized the opportunity.

Without Ginobili on the court, the Spurs weren't passing, moving, or connecting worth a damn. Pop can't be blamed for that; the players just played ugly as without the anti-D'Antoni on the court.

Mason Jr. and Hill especially just weren't that good without him tonight and they're our back-up PG's.

I know you're trying to rag on Pop, but your coming off like a re who can't write a sentence correctly. What the are you trying to write exactly?

T_Park, are you ready to come out as Cane?

I know I'm sort of ruining the dramatic effect of your post but the scores were never tied at 82. We were up 83-82 and Gallinari had a FT to tie but he missed it.

Nope. Are you ready to come out as an idiot?

Not bad. I laughed.

Still, it's not that hard to admit you were wrong. Go on.

You let Manu do his ? Pop had no choice - he has no answer right now for the lack of guts from most of his rotation players. They have no reason to have guts at this point - a bad performance here and there really doesn't affect playing time. He needs to start benching players until he can find someone that wants to step up. They've had long enough to time to find some type of chemistry, it's time to start doing your job or sit down. If it continues like this Manu will be worn down by the playoffs - a good coach shouldn't let that happen.

They're shooting guards... we need to stop with the fantasy that players can play any position. Manu is a freak of nature and obviously an exception to the rule. Nothing more and nothing less.

[DesignatedT]

the spurs have no point guard outside of tony.... its plain and simple... and its the main reason we are going to continue to struggle until we get him back.... another reason rj is back to playing ty... no pg to play with.

[G-Dawgg]

We would be in a whole lot of trouble without Ginobili. None of our guards are 'pure' point guards and Ginobili is our only playmaker, our offense seems out of sync without him in the game... that's why it seems that our bench seems to be the most productive in the league because they all run on the 2nd unit with Ginobili who gets the whole team involved on offense. The only other player on our team with that type of pass-first mentality is Tim Duncan, and he's not a ball handler. Signing Ginobili is imperative for our team considering our lack of a true point guard!

[ElNono]

I'll give Pop credit for 2 things tonight: Playing Hairston the entire 4th quarter, and having one of Duncan and/or Manu in pretty much all the game.

In fact, Pop coached this game very well. The 1st game well coached of the year imo. Dice went in and was very important in the 4th Q.

[itzsoweezee]

i prefer popazit, or popo . regardless, i think we can all agree that the guy is clearly a hack.

[SenorSpur]

Pop probably secretly envies the Celtics because they're fielding a roster of old-heads like Wallace, Garnett, Finley & Allen. In fact, by fielding such a roster of old heads, they've overtaken the Spurs as "the oldest roster in the NBA". I just know Pop is jealous and wants his le back.
