Depends if you feel Cubes is an idiot, a genius or just trying to be ironic...
Mahinmi is part of Dallas's BIG THREE.

The answer is right in front of your eyes but you are blind...
Ian was stuck behind TWO NBA STARTING CALIBER CENTERS....
It is actually amazing that Carlisle actually MADE time for Ian to play--unlike Pop who could watch Ian have a breakout game...and then continue to bury him on the bench while every team ran a lay-up line against the spurs small ball defense.
You are stupid for denying this...you have spent countless HOURS of your life defending POP, berating other posters for calling out Pop,etc...
HOURS UPON HOURS....THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS OF POSTS....
Now, you stupidly deny this...you are pretty much full of .
Nah, you're so full of hatred you don't even realize what I posted. Neither a surprise nor a big deal -- you certainly aren't alone with this insanity.
Yeah, he made time when the others were injured, then he got buried on the bench again when clearly better players were available. He got the call again when players were injured again and played as inconsistently as ever.
Even now this is a Pop defense.
In the SAME type situation...POP would have STILL trotted out garbage like Bonner and other garbage---BEFORE giving Ian a shot.
Carlisle did have better options...and no-one said Ian was an all star...but he still got some playing time even though Dallas has better big men. Pop would play a SMALL over Ian. Pop played Bonner more than Splitter.
How in' blind can you continue to be?
Did Pop defenses scare your mother when she was pregnant with you?
You're insane, dude.
Still defending Pop...
Not sure if you ever had it in the first place, but you damn sure lost it now, nutjob.
Still defending Pop...
Must have meant a lot to Ian to hear Dirk praising him after the game. Congrats to Ian!
Pop wouldn't play Ian for YEARS yet Rick puts him in crucial minutes in the NBA Finals
you can't teach height, he got those big boards for D, and even after he made mistakes he let him play
still not better then splitter imo...from what we have seen from these playoffs...
not better then Splitter, sure, but he could still be a ing Spur. But I'm glad he's gone, Pop would rather have Bonner guard Bynum then put Ian in the game for any reason
Props to Mahimni for playing well, but injuries forced Carlisle to Play Mahimni, which Mahimni responded with a solid game off the bench.
This
Pop is misunderstood
Having a white soft unathletic floor spreader like Bonner is crucial
Where would Mahimni have gotten playing time if he was still with the Spurs? With two similar, young bigs, in Blair and Splitter to develop, along with Dyess and Bonner, where does Mahimni fit in?
Mahinmi hit a big shot at the end of the 3rd quarter. He earned a year's salary for that alone.
Again....because of Pop's love for Bonner...another big with potential is lost...
Even scrubs like Ratliffe, Gooden, would have been an upgrade over Bonner...but you can't with Pop and his senility...
...even putting 4 people on the floor without Bonner is an upgrade.
Except in Pop's mind.
Pop is all about offence and regular season wins he just pays lip service when he says defence is a priority, which makes me laugh every time, tbh. Thats why he keeps playing bonner over defencive bigs like splitter. Pop is just trying to sell tickets, he knows that duncan is over the hill, and spurs fo can't afford to go over the luxury tax to provide him some real help.
lol the overrating continues
lol Bonner sells tickets
Bonner's skill set and defense aren't the major issue, its his lack of shooting touch in big games and the lack of athleticism in the spurs bigmen over all this past year. Bonners Defense while not great actually has become adequate against most of the back-up bigs in the league. The real problem is having another barely adequate defensive bigman presence out on the floor with him.
You're the only one who get the point.
And the fans always let the red rocket take all the responsibilities. But tbh the main reason for our window closed is that we don't have a franchise guy now. Just like Lakers fans making Gasol the excuse they lose to the Mavs, we Spurs fans make Bonner the excuse.
the FO has made some really, really, bad decsions the last 2 years. the team hasn't won championships the last 2 years in large part because of just how bad of a job they've done.
Pop's comments on the RJ trade about how RJ is Stephen Jackson w/o the baggage is pretty insightful in how incompetent the FO has been. what a ed up comparison that was.
It must be just killing you reading all this praising of Ianny
