I am not against Splitter playing, I want Splitter to play just as much as any other Spurs fan and the way Bonner shot the ball tonight, I definitely wish Splitter was in there instead. Saying that, I am not going to freak the out when we are sitting at 10-1. Splitter is in a good spot right now once he gets fully healthy or gets his legs bad 100% or whatever they want him to do.
Actualy 3! that's what I wrote (lookk again!)
It was trying to make a joke, and I meant overall after 4 quarters (i.e. the entire game) finished
I get what he's saying and it's nice to have the hot start, but it hurt Splitter when he missed a good chunk of the preseason and the first 2 weeks of the NBA season.
It'll take time for him to learn the system and hopefully he does get to see minutes in the future, but lets face it. Unless Bonner gets falls off the face of the earth, Splitter will hardly see minutes..
I say we do a chipin and see if we can hire ourselves a gunmen.
You have got to be kidding me.
I think pop trolls spurstalk and sits tiago just to piss us all off...
I don't believe that is the case. I think Splitter will get his shot to show what he can do and it's a safer easier bet to go with Bonner at the moment. Splitter needs time to get the system and get his body back to 100% and I know the (being on the court will help his progress) argument, but frankly there is a lot of things he needs to learn before even jumping out on that court which Pop and the Spurs are trying to teach him right now. Splitter will be on the court and if he proves himself than he will earn minutes, Pop has continued to show last season and this season that he isn't scared to play a rookie. Just give it time, its early in the season and the best part is were sitting at 10-1.
Who is actually ing about the record?
We would obviously be 11-0 if splitter played all year.
spurs fans ing while being 10-1... that make it better?
One could probably make a poll if they would rather be 10-1 playing Bonner or 7-4 without.
You know, Pop is a pretty scary person. In the past year hes shown that hes willing to play Blair (rookie). The season before that he benched Hill during the playoffs. Pop also has the track record of playing Finley way too much, starting Bonner way too long. He's not always right but there's a good chance he wont change his mind either.
I think being patience about Splitter isnt the worse thing in the world but the reasons you listed I disagreed with. In the minutes hes played, hes shown to be our 2nd best defensive big, hes shown great mobility, a few flashes of his offensive moves etc. He really hasn't made many mistakes on the basketball court.
Tonight, Blair played well so we knew there was gonna be an odd man out - which is fine, but the big that struggled the most got the 3rd most minutes. I just think it would have been a win-win situation to get Splitter a few minutes.
No one. It's a made up arguement that stuck.
Great win
Guessing Splitter will play tomorrow and Duncan will sit, maybe
Bonner didn't play all 11 games, neither did Splitter, that poll wouldnt make a lot of sense.
one could if they would not be so ing lazy to do so
to try to make his point
I went with the last three. Would you prefer them to be wins with Bonner's playing or losses without his playing?
I'm not saying they definitely would have lost without him; just asking whether you would have preferred losing those games if it meant not playing Bonner.
At the end of the day Splitter definitely needs to see the floor, I am not disagreeing with that. At the moment, It seems Duncan and Dice are playing a few too many minutes anyway, there should be plenty of minutes to go around to get Splitter better acclimated and hopefully he can continue to impress and earn more minutes.
Is that directed at me?
I don't like starting superfluous threads. There is plenty of ing about Bonner as it is.
Are you expecting a black and white answer?
yes you are the one that said something about a poll
a poll would be different then a normal thread
Sure. I'm simply asking which one would be preferred. There would only be two choices.
It would be another thread largely devoted to ing about Bonner.
DWill's post-up plays on Parker were far too easy, but it's (obviously) not entirely TP's fault. Nobody should expect a player of his size to adequately guard a post-up play against a player of DWill's size. Pop's going to have a field day tomorrow harping on help defense - a facet which I actually think the spurs have been excelling at for the past couple of games (save the two Williams-over-TP post-up breakdowns for this game).
