[WeNeedLength]

Just turn your sigs off in the control panel.

I'll just ignore him until he gets rid of it.

[spursfan09]

True!

But I log in from work so I think I have it to where all pictures are turned off.

[rwb]

Lefty you are now ignored and now I am not annoyed.

I would find it hard to be Pop's next door neighbor, as keeping one's mouth shut in the interest of good relations would be a killer after this past season. Once--just once, though--I would love to hear Pop actually admit to taking some responsibility for his own actions/inactions instead of only blaming his team or praising the other one.

[tmtcsc]

Richard Jefferson and Dejuan Blair couldn't hang with Memphis. Neither could a banged up Timmy. Ah, ...they all sucked.

[100%duncan]

"They made some shots, I get to water my plants, everybody wins"

[englishspursfan]

thats wierd ..my exes mum used to live opposite him..are we talking about the same house as she sold it a few month ago..if we are then they would havre to shout as them lots up there are like bin ladin compounds.

[++SaiNt TiAg0++]

i dont want to say a particualr name but do you know of the doctor that lives right by you guys possibly on the other side of pop ???? my moms friend is his neighbor too not sure if its next door to pop but thought so..

anyway im not suprised by his statements thats why i think hes just grown soft as hes aged , its not uncommon things that used to mean so much dont mean anymore to the man in his 60's either peter holt needs to have a talk with this man or some of the players need to light a fire under his ass

[++SaiNt TiAg0++]

its so sad we were so close to seeing bonner get his legs cut off in that play but of course his muscles dont tear like regular humans since his tendons and muslces are so rigid due to his unathletic genes.

on top of that the bag acts like hes some sort of starter and waves to pop "keep me in im ok " only to miss his freethrow, is straight out of a comedy. our team is a joke with matt playing starter minutes. do you think a website will get anyones attention (news?) i dont know but im desperate for our voice to be heard.

Pop is a super nice man, much, much different than he comes off in interviews, that's for sure! He's actually very friendly. But anyway, wouldn't it be something if Tim would opt out, restructure and we could land Nene?

[Summers]

I completely agree with Pop. The watering restrictions are draconian.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Tim retire this summer, regardless of a lockout. Makes me wish I'd made it to a playoff game.

But wouldn't Nene ask Splitter about his time with the Spurs?

I know this isn't exactly breakthrough insight, but it was a personal conversation for what its worth, and while I'd never expect Pop to throw his team under a bus, it is interesting that he's happy with the team makeup, but not with the effort. In other words, Pop didn't say "well, they played their butts off but the ball didn't go through the rim." He basically said that the effort stunk. I think that most of us here know that there were a couple of Spurs players who did not put forth a very good effort, for whatever reasons.

So why was one of his top effort guys, Blair, benched after one game? In which they were *blown out* 101-98 and actually led 98-96 and choked away thanks to Parkers lazy assed leaving Allen wide open for the three!!!!!

After 63 games of starting and arguably upping the energy level of the Spurs, most notably his effect on Timmy Dunks energy level, yet benched in some headgamey bull in favor of BonBon and Soft . Ditto Splitter on the energy and effort front.....

To be honest, Bonner energizes the other team when he comes in.
'Popped himself is the energy killbuzz.

[dbestpro]

This is the type of view from Pop that bothers me and makes me feel things are going to get worse before they get better.

The idea that the team failed because the did not play hard enough can also be viewed as they did not over achieve. I for one find it hard for Blair and Bonner to ever be able to match up with other bigs and that the disadvantage was too great to over come.

In the end small ball cannot win a championship in the NBA and at some point Pop will either realize this or the Spurs will never be a le contender again during Pop's reign.

Remember when people tried to rationalize Bonners resigning saying it's because he'll be the 4th-5th big off the bench, no more than 15 mins.

[Cessation]

lol ginger 5th big

I don't remember that. Wasn't Bonner starting for most of a season before he got the new contract? Someone suggesting something that stupid would have been eviscerated.

Wouldn't they?

[fyatuk]

I can agree to a certain extent with Pop. Blair often looked like he wasn't putting in the effort after he was moved to the bench (which is where an undersized, post-playing energy guy belongs in the first place). Dyess's effort was inconsistent. RJ looked like he just didn't care.

Doesn't negate the fact that the Spurs need 1 more real big, and Bonner should play spot minutes unless they are playing against another perimeter big (Bonner can't guard the post, it's pathetic to watch, but he does okay on the perimiter against people his own size and speed).

I think RJ would do better coming off the bench as well. There's just no shots for him with the first team, and he's not interested in a game if he's not really going to get any shots.

[lefty]

Sorry guys, I dont even remember what I posted


What was it ?
