Manu was tired, he sat him a minute. He's not gonna be much help if he's gassed.
Benching manu with 6 minutes to go.....

Should've played Manu 48 minutes.Can't wait to play you guys in first round.
And 2 minutes is going to make that difference?
Pop is an idiot for not playing Hairston and not playing McDyess nearly enough.
A crunch time game and we get Bonner and Mason out there.
Pop
have you played basketball before?
Agree with Malik but Dice is DONE
Bonner>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Dice
Pop's rotations have been since LA beat the Spurs in 08.
I do, and 2 minutes are nothing if you really put your heart in the game. And oh coincidence, manu goes out and lakers got a 10-2 run
pop didn't shoot under 40%
Mason and Bonner on final minutes.....it's all said
His strategy of doubling Kobe was bad IMO, but the Spurs always fear Kobe and the rest of the Lakers..
Rap
no, we get Bonner, Mason and Bogans - it's the Bowel Movement Bonanza special served up by the infallible Popovich. At what point does it dawn on Pop that he has other options - really? Manu's is keeping this team in games almost by himself (G. Hill) and Pop is wasting that effort every time we play a good team.
pop put this team in every position to win, just like he has many times already this season
and I'm tired of people defending Bonner. Ask yourself this - what contending team would Bonner get this many minutes with? Bogans and Mason fall into the same category just as easily, but there are less that defend those two.
That vid was the reaction to the missed 3 by Mason on a set play off time-out run perfectly by Manu. Everything but the make.
I could tell that RMJ was mad at the end of the game, but being mad ain't enough. You have to make something of it.
and what did he do to acomplish that? give the ball to Manu and say please win the game for me because I've lost the capacity to run this team.

The Rockets, after winning 2 les with Rudy T, knew it was time for him to go when they did. Holt & Co must get their heads out of the sand and realize that Pop is not making logical decisions and hasn't been the last 2 years. Playing Blair and Bonner together, especially vs LA, is waiving the white flag. I would personally not stand for that if I was Holt and I was paying Pop $5M+ annually. We're no longer a contender and for Ian to not even get a chance when our frontcourt sucks ass is sad. Taking out your best player when the game is on the line is suicide. Pop has no f..in clue about rotations. Period.
what would you do?
Think we could've used Ratliff tonight, Pop? What a total idiot.
The Lakers are the reason we signed Ratliff. He would match up very well against Gasol. Why do you think Timmy was gassed? Because he had to guard the best center in the league all night - by himself - plus get every rebound - by himself - plus be the only rim protector - by himself.
Pop traded away the only real help Timmy was going to have.
My favorite scene from tonight's comedy was when Pop took a timeout and left Mason/Bonner in after we had a 5 minute scoring drought. Way to manage your team and not handicap them, Pop! But it's cool, I totally get not paying "unproven" players like Hairston...it's better to play proven suckers than a proven nothing!
It's not the Spurs fault, I still believe this is a good team it's just been managed into the ground. It's like Pop handicaps the team to see how much bull they can take and still get a win, then come playoffs he'll do the right thing every time and everything will be easier without the handicaps. YES?
