As a basketball fan, I can watch the last 0:35 over and over again. Just a crazy finish, and something we won't likely see again for a few years.
I'm still bummed.

You are missing the big picture here...
Splitter will only get playing time while Timmy is out...then it will be BONNER TIME!!!!
Splitter will go back to DNP's while Bonner prepares for his next slump in the playoffs...
The big picture....Bonner OVER Splitter...
THAT .
I said the best place for Splitter was to start with TD. I don't know why Pop couldn't do it. I thought what he did with Blair was OK, and that was to start him with TD and play him the first 6 minutes of the first quarter and the first 6 minutes of the third quarter. If he did well in those stints then he gets more court time in both the first half and second half. The only thing is that he should have done that with Splitter. I wanted him to do it with Splitter after he got acclimated to the NBA a little bit since he missed training camp.
I don't get why Pop never did this as it was the best way to integrate Splitter and if he didn't do well it wouldn't hurt the team much. This would have been so much better than DNP CDs. Blair doesn't spread the floor so why was he starting with TD? What did he do that Splitter can't do? He kept going on and on about defense and he never played the guy with the most defensive potential.
Pop has some BULL excuses.
Manu was a rookie and TP was a rookie that got court time in the playoffs as a huge part of the regular rotation so why the can't Splitter?
ING TOTAL BULL from Pop. He's gone soft. The players should call him out for going SOFT in his coaching and philosophy.
Agreed.
I have lived in some cities where a radio station hires a guy off the street and assigns him to pulling pranks all over town.
I wish some radio station would do this as a gag and have him report on the spurs and ask Pop questions regarding his coaching.
Real questions. Not like these pussy reporters who are scared of Pop.
If not for Duncan's injury, Splitter wouldn't have had the chance to contribute.
IMO, this may end up being the story this year. Splitter should not have been held back, but should have been fast tracked. We won't see another chance with our big 3 squad like this again...ever.
From what I've seen, Splitter is more than capable of holding his own - especially on the defensive end. Sure, there will be nights when he looks terrible, but you can say that of every player.
The post-season upside of Splitter is much, much brighter than the gimmicky experiment of starting Blair.
Unfortunately, even our gaudy record does not preclude the possibility of colossal blunders. Pop's handling of Splitter has been a major mistake.
I'd feel the same way if this wasn't my team on the short end. To the unbiased fan it would be supremely entertaining, but it's just to painful for me to watch ever again. Much like 0.4 and the Dirk foul, Even seeing it on some great moments in NBA history thing just makes me cringe.
.............good thing i didn't actually watch the game..
i know.. what kind of spurs fan am i right?
i think i would've broke something if i did.. considering how much meltdown i see across the forums today
thats what im talking about fellas, were in a better position now (even losing these games)
than we were when timmy was healthy and bonner was our main defensive big off the bench i mean think about it, were going to be LEGIT when duncan comes back. if my man tiago can hang with all that pres0sure pop put on him he sure as can come off the bench and produce.
there are 2 types of nba players :1) chokers with no balls (bonner) who shy away from
big plays/games
2) players who dont fear that crucial period where
seasons are on the line. even so they play their best ball
(tiago/manu/tim/neal) oh and sean Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Lu ck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_Luck_The_Fakers_ haha
when i typed "elliott" that whole luck the fakers came out on my post ...weird
As Pop once said to Manu one time when he did something at the end of a game to lose it, if this is the worst thing you will see in your life you will live a good life then! There will be alot worse than a game, but take it for what it's worth and get over it man it's cool we are still #1 and that was a bad loss but not the end (T MACS 35 seconds 13 pts had me bummed out, but we won it all that year). This will happen again too, not this year maybe but it will happen again and we will blow a game or two maybe in the playoffs as well, it is a part of the game.
Spurs do have a way of having the craziest losses though huh.4, T Macs, Kevin MARTINS STEAL, Marbs Bank shot and this etc. etc. damn as much as they win they have some epic losses broh, the only thing that keeps me sane as far as bball goes is the les. Think we could be Dallas with the 2-0 lead and up 13 late in a game three and lose 4 in a row! We could be PHX as well! WE could be Portland with how many hearbreaks they had from Memorial day miracle to LA meltdown up 13 or son the 4th, the Kings up 20 some odd only to have Horry rip them down! WE are not though THANK GOD. I will take this one and smile.
