    Revisionist history. He simply doesn't have the right players to play the old defensive game plan, and the change in the rules on hand-checking have totally changed the game.

    Exactly my point.

    That's a better idea - start Anderson and run Neal long minutes off the bench.

    Good point. BTW, nice to have you back!

    I don't understand why Pop isn't making Tiago a big part of the rotation now that he's contributing and seems to get the NBA game.

    How does the top defensive teams do it then? I mean, I agree with the personnel take, but the rule changes sound like a cop-out...

    What a drag it must be for our big 3 to carry RJ's dead weight.

    The Spurs' defensive scheme is to outscore the other team from the perimeter.

    Alot easier to have a dominant defense when you have the above mentioned players in their prime. As you may of noticed, not as easy to replace those 3 either.

    No hand checking on the perimeter has shifted the advantage a long way in the offensive player's direction, particularly slashers. We used to win games in the 70s and 80s and rarely scored 100, but no team can do that consistently any more, so the rules changes have definitely affected the way the game is played. That's no excuse for our pathetic defense this season, but it does partly explain why Pop was able to win with a defensive focus earlier in the decade.

    Also, Bruce should be in the HoF. He was a truly special defender, once in a generation guy.

    The best part is they get to enjoy RJ and Bonner for another 3-4 years.

    Did Pop's defensive schemes win 4 rings? Enough said.

    Maybe it's time TD went MJ on RJ...get up in his face, challenge his commitment and pride.

    Same-same for TD with Pop regarding Bonnerball.

    SOMEBODY has to show some in' leadership, Spurs look like a bunch of soft, sad-sacks out there.
