Pop handing this game to Dallas in the second quarter

[dbestpro]

I also agree that Bonner so far has been the greatest disapointment in this playoff. He contributes absolutely nothing when he cannot hit an outside shot. I for one will be happy when we move on from choke Bonner.

[HarlemHeat37]

You mean IF we move on from Bonner..I would assume that the logical move would be to not re-sign him after a 2nd straight choke in the playoffs, but you never know with Pop..

Blair has proven to be quite a liability in these playoffs. I think this is really showing that he will not be able (all 3) to be a 30 minute guy, play inside and be on a successful playoff team.

2 offensive rebounds, 1 of 2 ahooting and 1 assist in 5 minutes, he has done well.

To the contrary he's done a great job of tipping several balls loose and corralling some nice O rebounds (as usual) that led to hoops (as usual). He is missing his short shots, that's true.

Also Blair gets marched out with Bonehead so it's like auto 4 on 5.

Dirk is turning into a flopping .

[ManuTP9]

It's not over yet..geez.

Pop is playing better now

Pop is playing better now

Yeah he hasn't put Bogans or Bonner yet.

[honestfool84]

good thing you're not a coach.. otherwise you'd have thrown the game away.

[senorglory]

3rd looked pretty good.

Maybe too early for damnation.

[polandprzem]

pop with some nice J's

[honestfool84]

good thing Pop told them to start making shots.


-_-

Pop not playing Bonner or Bogans in the second half = Spurs win

[ShoogarBear]

Have to give a shout out to Rick Carlisle here. WTF? Marion has his best playoff game in ages, is actually making a difference, and you bench him? Thanks.

[PBEEZY]

Premature threads FTW

Exactly.

Took him long enough, but keeping Bonner, Bogans and Mason to a combined ZERO minutes in the second half was the key to winning this game.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

well then you should just turn off the stupid TV.. don't bother posting, either. you already know the result of the game.

What were you saying? No microball in the second half, Bogans stayed glued to the pine, and we come back and win.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

good thing you're not a coach.. otherwise you'd have thrown the game away.

Yep, it's a total coincidence that in the second half Bogans stayed on the bench, Bonner played limited minutes, no microball, and we won...

[DAF86]

Yeah he hasn't put Bogans or Bonner yet.

Play your best players and you have the best chance to win, it's really that simple.

[DPG21920]

Great adjustment from Pop. No Bonner or Bogans. Perfect.

[Aggie Hoopsfan]

Play your best players and you have the best chance to win, it's really that simple.

Yep, it's a novel concept, that's for sure...

[Spurs Brazil]

Please Pop, no more Bonner, I'd rather see RJ at PF than Bonner

[easy7]

I like it when Pop hands out games and we still win.

[polandprzem]

Breaking news

You got to put players on the floor to see if they have a good day today



Someone said before that he would not play those guys [1st half] and Pop is stupid to play them. Well Tim was playing almost whole 4th

recognize

[polandprzem]

Please Pop, no more Bonner, I'd rather see RJ at PF than Bonner

Really?

Then you would about Pop playing small ball
