I don't think he was begrudging me for my opinion, he just comes off that way.
I'm all for their having opinions on a message board.
Even if they are stupid.
Not all of them are.
As I said, scores of butturt posters.But I don't want to take up too much of your time, I'm sure you've got some more thread policing to get to . . .
Tough .
I don't think he was begrudging me for my opinion, he just comes off that way.
I certainly don't think my opinion was stupid however.
I Understand Bonner can Hit the Three ball..... I understand Blair Is A Monster on the Glass........ But Splitter should play over both of them..... He is A way better defender then both of them....and could easily grab 8-10 boards a game with 25 to 30 mins....
Your raspberry chocolate chip cookies got a delicious review at the initial PollyAnna Poppers party.
Your and Eric_Parks baking efforts do not go unnoticed and should be a hit again today.
Hey, i want to see more of Splitter on the floor. i think most of us do. but you cannot argue with our record. Pop is making the right choices.
No, you're not. You're all for everyone going along with whatever it is the Spurs are doing at a particular time.
Pop could start Quinn at center, play him all 48 minutes, give up 50 and 30 to the opposing center and you'd still be here with your tongue firmly lodged in his ass, mocking the fans.
I'm not "butthurt" about anything. I just find it funny that you're doing exactly what you accuse so many of doing and that is repeating the same over and over. Same old tired played out schtick.
Nope.
You are free to have your opinion.
I am free to disagree.
You are free to whine about it.
Hey, more erotic imagery. Seems you can think of little else.Pop could start Quinn at center, play him all 48 minutes, give up 50 and 30 to the opposing center and you'd still be here with your tongue firmly lodged in his ass, mocking the fans.
For the record, I am not in favor of playing Quinn at center for any amount of time.
Yeah, you're not butthurt at all.I'm not "butthurt" about anything. I just find it funny that you're doing exactly what you accuse so many of doing and that is repeating the same over and over. Same old tired played out schtick.
If you aren't butthurt and don't care about me at all. Don't read my posts and don't reply. It's really quite easy.
Seriously, you guys need to start a thread devoted to whining about me and composing erotic fiction involving me.
You're ting up too many threads by spreading it out.
Yep.
I.
Can.
Play.
This.
Game.
Too.
Hey, more lame jokes. Seems you can think of little else.Hey, more erotic imagery. Seems you can think of little else.
For the record, I am not in favor of playing Quinn at center for any amount of time.
Maybe so, but I'm sure your tongue would still be lodged in Pop's ass if he ever pulled a stunt like that. Because he's an NBA coach and he's won championships, so he's above criticism.
Someone takes you to task for something and because you can't think of a witty reply, you resort to the cliche "you're butthurt" bull . Then you add the obligatory smile, so as to indicate to others "I'm not taking this seriously, he/she is". Real original.Yeah, you're not butthurt at all.
If you aren't butthurt and don't care about me at all. Don't read my posts and don't reply. It's really quite easy.
Generally, I subscribe to your advice, but your posts are polluting virtually every thread going. And it's all the same over and over.
I think it's hard to say if Pop is doing the right thing or not with Splitter. Given his amount of playing time over the Summer, his previous injury, and not being around for any of training camp, it's a stretch to think Pop is going to throw Splitter out into the mix for big minutes right away. Tim's minutes are still slightly lower than last year. Dice is still getting rest. And the team is winning. These are all good things.
I think the dislike for Bonner, which is understandable, is pushing for people to go with Splitter more. If Splitter's minutes don't start going up in about a month, and worse, the team starts losing, then I can see the concern.
Actually your game is to whine about me and post sexual fantasies about me -- which is what you did with the rest of your post. No need to quote that.
Seriously. Quit whining about me and move on with your life. If I irritate you so much, you don't have to read my posts.
The cliches just keep coming with you. If you were going to cop out, why didn't you just say so? Instead you insult my intelligence with this thinly veiled attempt to conceal that fact.
All I'm saying is I think you've gotten out of hand with this defending Pop thing. You've always been an apologist for the organization, but it's like you're on steroids the last few days.
Anyway, you really should get back to policing other threads . . .
lmao at the people thinking pop is the one who wins games! lol you guys are a joke theres a reason pop sucks tims *%*$ its because he made pop not the other way around.
pop isnt winning games with his mind blowing lineup fools. its manu tim tony willing this team greatness. pop has to do with it anymore and you guys know it. in fact his lineups do more bad than good. he contradicts himself all year long. he says "im playing whoever is playing good thats who i play" saying this when bonner cant miss, of course now that bonner is 1 for 20 just threw 2 inbound passes away in a row he stays in the game?
that makes no sense on any level. he wants tim dice to be rested yet he plays them like theyre 20 years old . hes either an alcoholic or a control freak. either way ive lost alot of respect for him, and as you can see alot of fans have
I think this is the second thread I've seen you post this Nazr comparison and it is quite misleading.
Nazr wasn't unleashed by Pop. He was averaging about 14 minutes a game in 17 contests and 10 mpg in the last 5 of those until Rasho sprained his ankle and was sidelined into the first round of the playoffs. Furthermore, the back 11 of those 17 were without Duncan who was out with his anke injury (though really it was 10 and he played 2 minutes in what I'm counting as 11th). I do remember Nazr having a nagging injury when he arrived, but he just wasn't playing even with Duncan out.
Nazr was only starting and playing more than 14 minutes a contest for the last 6 games of the regular season. Actually Horry started one of the last 6 but Nazr averaged 29 the last 6 with Rasho out.
Before that, Rasho started every game he had played.
Nazr wasn't getting unleashed on anything without Rasho getting injured.

, now I have seen it all this season. The spurs are the #1 team in the NBA and fans now are calling out the head coach. Year in and year out pop is always mentioned as a one of the top coaches in the league. Seems to be doing a pretty good so far, oh my bad, I guess your wanting him to lace it up or something. Its one thing to hate on players like bonner or RJ, but to try and hate on pop shows your ignorance of NBA basketball my friend. If he has you hating him that probably indicates how good of a job he is doing, so please keep hating and the W's will keep coming.
lol im truly embarassed at some of y'all.. it's still entertaining to read tho
Pop always has to have someone in his doghouse. Unfortunately, this year Bonner is in the "reverse doghouse", where the worse he plays the more he plays.
Still, there are way too many positives going on this year with Pop's coaching to get riled up. They found Gary Neal when no one else seemed to remember his name. He got Richard Jefferson to come into camp better then ever, AFTER signing most likely his last extension of his career. Just getting RJ turned around is a coaching miracle in my opinion.
I'm annoyed by Bonner playing more then he should at times, especially with his pansy flopping, but with all the team success this year it just seems silly to get agitated at this point. This is probably our last great season for a while.
You've got to look beyond whatever your record is at the moment and address the weaknesses you have in your team. Complacency and timidity will not improve the team. We've been content and perhaps scared to move beyond Bonner for how many years now? We keep rolling the dice on this turkey, expecting better results.
I agree with you that it's bizarre and illogical. I was shocked they re-signed him. Pop must like him on a personal level. Who knows?
+1
We're getting a sneak-peek at what to expect right now over the past 4-5 games actually.
Splitter needs to have more CONSISTENT minutes. Whether or not he needs to be averaging more overall at this point is a matter of conjecture I'd think.
Yeap, just watching Chump go off on him once more.
What am I supposed to be concealing?
Spit it out.
Tough .All I'm saying is I think you've gotten out of hand with this defending Pop thing. You've always been an apologist for the organization, but it's like you're on steroids the last few days.
Your whining has gotten out of hand.
You should go back to whining about me.Anyway, you really should get back to policing other threads . . .
For me it comes down to 'How are you going to win the championship?'. The teams most likely to be in the way of the Spurs run to the NBA Finals are the Lakers and to a lesser extent the Mavs. Going into series against both of these teams with DeJuan Blair and Matt Bonner playing significant rotation minutes and asking them to be key championship contributors is just asking for failure IMO. You might get by the Hornets or the Thunder though.
At the end of the day the NBA is still a big mans league... and the war is won underneath the basket... shotblocking.. rebounding.. consistent high percentage looks at the basket... and preventing the opposition from getting these looks ... ingredients that are sustainable and dont depend on luck or law of averages such as 3 point shooting or one dimensional players who suffer 'off games'.
If your going to win a championship... you have to have players who are getting key minutes to be able to bring a winning aspect of basketball each and every single night in the playoffs... and that has to be there when thing get tough and the ball isnt going in the basket. Its no coincidence every single championship team in the last 20 years outside of Michael Jordan's Bulls... heck every single championship team in NBA history outside of Jordan's Bulls ...has had size and elite level interior defense and scoring and elite rebounding. Every single championship team.
We all know what Bonner provides in the playoffs...and honestly i dont really get mad at him anymore... he is what he is.. some players just arent made for the playoffs. When the pressure increases.. he tightens up and it gets to him and that happens to alot of players... players who are far more talented than Bonner.. its not something that he can change or get better at... it comes down to either you have 'it' or you dont. And Bonner simply doesnt have it to succeed in the playoffs.
Blair as a sparkplug or energy big off the bench when the matchup is favourable is definately something that could work for the Spurs in the playoffs. Starting Blair in the playoffs is just giving yourself a handicap.
McDyess will obviously be in the rotation... but he will be 36-37 once the playoffs come around and asking him to be anything more than a 20-25 minute bench big is asking too much. Then you have the size factor with the Lakers.. he could easily be overwhelmed by their size and length.
Before the season started... my opinion was that Splitter was the guy to put us over the top and into the legitimate contender category.. not above the Lakers or Boston .. but in the mix. Integrating him early.. to suffer the bumps and bruises before the playoffs come around.. was IMO the key for the Spurs to get to the next level. So far.. i havent seen anything to change that opinion.
