I keep hearing people raving about the Spurs' depth. They only played nine guys tonight and the starters were the only ones who played well.
Deron played terrible. You saw parker and him talking? Maybe they discussed sexting and deron just felt very bad about it? Is he married? lulz...

Actualy I liked his involvment in the 1st! He didn't shoot well (and wasn't trying too much), but was very active! (3st, 2rbs, 2ast) so I wasn't even worriied of a possible bad game from him.
+ We must not ALWAYS rely on his scoring...
What the Spurs are doing isn't working?
Of course I want Splitter to play, everyone wants Splitter to play... The best part about the situation though is that we are winning without him. He will get on the court especially with the minutes Duncan and Dice have been playing so far this season, Pop definitely wants to manage those 2 guys minutes throughout the long haul. I'm sure they are trying to figure out how to integrate him in.
not the 3rd... 26-28
Matt First they love you, then they hate you, then they love you again Bonner had an off night. Kirelenko did a good job at defending him.
We were winning games when Splitter was playing 10-16 minutes a night too, its not about fixing whats not broken. If Splitter is healthy, he should have played a few minutes tonight. I doubt it would hurt our team and if it did Pop can sub him out.
The important thing is to get splitter acclimated because were obviously going to need his size, defensive abilities to name a few.
The win is great, but if we can fit a few minutes in there for Splitter to get acclimated and in shape faster there really is no draw back. To me that's a win-win situation, especially because Bonner had an off night. Winning now is nice (esp what happened with us last year) but the bigger picture shouldn't be ignored.
Again, if hes healthy, I'm sure we'll see Splitter play tomorrow.. it is a b2b.
poor bench players went to the side line just to get teased and never play
why do they do that...send bench players out to play for 30sec.
Well I like Bonner, and I think he can contribute to a winning team. I don't think he can contribute as the first big off the bench or playing big minutes as a rotation guy on the front line though. Pop obviously disagrees. If what he's seen over the last three years isn't enough to convince him, then I guess we just have to be prepared to live with it.
he had 2 steal in the first quarter also
+1
That's exactly my state of mind!
I have so many questions I don't care the answers right now (Splitter, Bonner, Hill...)...
Bonner was shooting the ball well, but he's not gonna keep shooting 80% from three
The good thing is when bonner missed an open three badly in the 4th quarter, pop recognised that he's off and went back to blair/mcdyess
splitter is going to be needed against the lakers
What the . The best part of the situation is that were winning without him?
the right kind of 10-1? wtf does that even mean...
(Pop thinking to himself in bed tonight): Poor Matty I better give him some extra minutes tomorrow. Tiago's not ready yet, his conditioning is bad since he missed preseason. And anyway, we can't win regular season games without Matty's 3pt shooting.
I can already tell it will always be some excuse why Bonnner needs minutes and Splitter sits with his thumb up his ass on the bench.
Of course, when the time comes when the spurs REALLY need him against the lakers (when Bonner is getting lit up like a christmas tree) he won't be anywhere near ready to contribute.
He has Popologist under his name, what do you expect?
It was trying to make a joke, and I meant overall after 4 quarters (i.e. the entire game) finished
Yes..... for 1, there is absolutely no rush or sense of urgency to throw him in there when we are winning games and 2. it puts absolutely no pressure on Splitter to have to come in and be some sort of "savior" It is by far the best situation he could be in.
That why someone needs to beat the out of Pop until he puts Splitter in.
lol spurfans ing about being 10-1
Damn we have the best coach in the league running the ship. If Splitter isn't getting minutes right now I'm sure it's for a good reason. Calm down, there are still 71 more games to play. Besides, game nights aren't the only time he has the opportunity to "get in shape" or " get acclimated to the system".

I'm ok with him having an off game, but it looked like he was thinking about his record each time he had an open shot a looked tentative because of that!
The only reason he is playing (despite his D) is that he shoots the 3 without a thought when he is open...
