Spurs look like .
Duncan can't carry this team, and neither can Parker and Ginobili.
We look like complete on both offense and defense.
Pop has been badly outcoached this series.
He needs to stop playing small ball and stop playing Matt Bonner. Where are guys like Malik Hairston or Garrett Temple for this series defensively. He can check Grant Hill, J-Rich and also stay with Frye.
Why did Dice not play in the 4th quarter tonight???????
Get RJ more involved. Get Tim the ball more in the second half.
Tell Manu to stop forcing it.
TP needed to start tonight. Why is he always step behind in his coaching adjustments. He should have learned by now that he leaves these changes too late.

But you're assuming the Spurs actually want to win this series, which isn't the case.
Why would they not want to win?
Of course the Spurs want to win this series.
Frankly, they just can't keep up with the Suns.
you are an idiot dude. any ing moron could see that the difference in the first 2 games is bench play. there bench play is far superior to ours. thats it.
shut the up already
How about hairston or temple.
BOTH guys proved to be better than Bogans and Mason Jr. yet they don't play.
Matt Bonner sucks ass. How many more chances do you give him? Get Ian out there for a few minutes. See if he's got anything.
dude, pop isn't the one who's supposed to be making baskets or grabbing rebounds.
If they wanted to win tonight, they would have. They haven't come to win this series. They've come to watch the Suns splash open three after three, to watch the Suns outrebound us by a million, to fall asleep on defense while watching Nash dribble in circles....they just aren't making the right decisions, offensively and defensively.
Series is done. Phoenix finally won a series against the Spurs.
where the spurs failed is from their supposed help from hill and blair. at least jefferson showed up.
Two words:
Dumb. Ass.
Overlooking the knee jerk reactions, yes Pop has made some terribly questionable decisions. Dice was giving us instant offense and he sat him down. Blair has no chance guarding Amare yet he let that match up stand. Bonner is terrible and shouldn't play again this series. Parker needs to start next game and maybe give Dice and Duncan in at the same time a try. Maybe try out sizing a freaking opponent once.
Pop needs to make changes more quickly when the game is turning. He is too slow.
Start Parker, George Hill's feeling. Make the right move and not put your team at a disadvantage.
What is up with Manu too? Have some confidence in your shot Manu. This is not the real Manu. He is lacking confidence in his jump shot.
lol, i am totally not surprised if pop doesn't start tony in game 3.
thank the ing lord someone said this. OP, try coaching against a team way deeper than yours that has 4 ing 3 point threats. Seriously you people with blaming pop HAS to stop.
Remember Hornets serie in 2008 ?
If Pop gets credit for the wins, he's taking the losses too. Pop.
hard to choose whether booner or manu isthe worst player in this game
I almost forgot Malik Hairston is even on the team! He should be given minutes in this series, more than Mason at least.
Yes it did make a difference. Spurs outplayed the Suns in the first half and should have had a bigger lead. Starting TP in the second half for the second straight game Pop is admitting he ed up. He is too slow to make changes.
Anyone that keeps playing guys like Mason Jr, Bogans and Bonner after watching them fail in every big game is a slow learner. Temple and Hairston have shown more and earned time, yet Pop will not give them a chance and I don't know why. You don't have to play them the whole ing game. You can play them for 1-2 minutes and see how they go.
I agree 100%. Yes, Pop has made some mistakes but the bench has killed us.
The Suns bench has stepped up in a way I haven't seen from the Spurs in three years. Our best 3pt shooter tonight was Tony Parker.
The problem isn't to start Tony or Hill.We started with Hill and we were winning by 9 in the 1st quarter.
We started with TP in the 3rd and we were down by 6 in the start of the 4th.
Tony played 36:00 minutes off the bench.Manu was doing the same all these years and we won the championship. Was Pop putting the team "at a disadvantage" then??
That's not the problem.If TP plays less than 30 minutes then it would be a mistake but he's playing enough minutes and he's on the court to end the games.That's not the ing problem.
The Suns bench is playing better.If we have to fix that then better to have Tony off the bench than Hill.Our bench suck and it will be even worse if Hill is who has to lead the bench
Alright another reason to start TP is that Manu needs to go back to being a 2 guard. He is playing poorly at PG and it might settle the team down if TP runs the show and Manu moves to 2 guard to settle down his erratic play.
Pop built that ing bench, it blows.
