it sets up the other spurs for a rebound?
you're fascination with me is disturbing. You and rocketfanyao should get together and talk about the big bad designatedt and how he is a "bonner supporter'

How the would I know Pops reason for not playing Tiago? Everybody on this board speculates all day long but nobody really knows the reasons why lol.
What do you mean "You didn't think so"? At first I thought you were joking but the fact that you are implying that the reason Tiago isn't playing is because Pop doesn't "give a " about this team or Tiago is![]()
it sets up the other spurs for a rebound?
i wish i could be in the same state of denial.![]()
Bonner 19 min 3 pts 4 reb 2 stl
Splitter 3 min 4 pts 2 reb 1 stl
John Edwards lost.
And Im glad i didn't vote for the current guy.![]()
I'm in denial? Do you understand what you are implying? You are saying that Pop doesn't give a about this team and doesn't give a about Tiago, therefore isn't giving him minutesThe same guy who helped this franchise win 4 championships and turn it into the most successful franchise over the past decade. Whatever Pops reasons are for not playing Splitter might contradict your and many others beliefs but to indicate that Pop doesn't give a about this team or winning is beyond re ed.
I'm in denial....
Could have saved a lot of words and just gone with...
"4 Rings got"
E. When Spurs start with 0-2 against Lakers.

Must have not done well in practice.
BLA-BLA-BLA!!!
WHY Splitter did NOT play??? Pop was [again] playing a FOOL!!!
WHY Novak did not play at least 5 minutes - while Bonner, Neal, and Hill were struggling from 3s, Novak could've hit couple of 3s - Pop, here is YOUR ball game right there, you f. MORRON [excuse my French!]; again, STUPID Popovich played damn [excuse my French!]!!! AGAIN and AGAIN he is f*****g us UP[excuse my French!]!!! We are getting killed inside - Gasol and Randolph killed us under the basket - With this ROSTER, if Pop DOES NOT play Splitter, he has ZERO chance beating L.A. and OKC, PERIOD!!! I am sick and tired of this a*****e [excuse my French!] being SO CONSERVATIVE - if Manu does NOT play, and Memphis BIGS are f*****g us in the a**[excuse my French!], WHY NOT TRYING WITH SPLITTER to help Dyes and Timmy??? "F. MORRON" to call Pop in THIS GAME, NOTHING more TO BE SAID...Pop completely outplayed by Memphis' coaches in this one...Very sad!!!
when they're 1-3.
Then next training camp Pop will declare Splitter his favorite player.
Bonner raining those two 3s today probably makes Pop feel vindicated for playing Bonner. So though the team got abused down low again, I think there's (sadly) less chance Tiago will play next game.
ill say it, im just hoping we hit the lottery and matt bonner has career ending injury yea i said it. pop has lost his mind and should not be trusted as a coach to win championships. well we were number 1 and if we get knocked out hopefully they'll put some pressure on pop. get him out of here with his worthless lineups
spurfan is classy
A couple pretty telling things:
1. The Spurs used to dominate at clutch times against these type of teams.
2. I don't remember when was the last time a team in a playoff setting was able to score over 55% from the field against the Spurs (and 60% 3pts)
That's the key, the Spurs play with a huge disadvantage with that frontcourt, we played better when McDyess came of the bench and he was the one pairing with Matt. Benching Dice wouldn't be my choice though, I would give Blair minutes to Splitter.
post of the night
I think he has too much ammonia in the brain. Every year the same mistake. I suppose this motivates the players to improve over the Summer, but still...
This is a little different than what happened in 09, when Pop sat Hill in the first round, he had Hill in the rotation the whole season, then mysteriously with like 15 games to go decided that Mason was a better option as the backup pt totally screwing up the chemistry of that team. this season though he hasn't played Splitter much and certainly not enough to give him substantial minutes in the playoffs. Although I agree that Splitters size and mobility would be a huge plus for our defense and hopes for a championship, I jus don't see him coming in on a regular basis. Pop pretty much set in moton his playoff benching by not giving him a chance to find a niche in this teams rotation.
I' m gonna go with A. and C.
greg who? the same clown who didnt play ghill in his rookie year against the mavs in the playoffs, which costs us the series, then he decides to play him the following year and spurs get past the mavs?
wheres that swagger from the regular season all gone too?
