Bonner touching the ball on that play other than a catch and shoot is fail. Even then it would have been a fail, but I could live with that.
Horrible loss and nothing positive comes out of it. Too many times this year the spurs have lost these games barely by only a few points in the final minutes of the game. This game blows I would have just rather gotten blown out then lose like this.

with TP that would have been 4 more points in OT for Splitter
Just goes to show you that 0.4* shot is BS!!!!!!!
Out of all the calls, that Dirk travel was probably the one most egregious IMO.
Yeah some are trying to make light outta this I am talking to but they had a 7 pts lead on the road with one minute or so left and it up! I am sick of that the last few years to say the least. It is another loss whether they went hard at it or not they end up losing a game they had won IMO and there is not much more to say about it. Loss 9 with Memphis tomorrow, thats not a positive at all.
you speak of yourself?
Let's just say Bonner gets the ball with no real pressure....does pop actually believe Bonner will make a play that's worth a sht???
Oh yeah, but we knew that one though already.
Second time(first time against sac) Pop has trusted the bench to close and they failed both times. I wouldn't trust the entire bench the next time. I'd at least put Parker in the game and depending on the opponents line-up Timmy. When the Mavs were playing Dirk and Ian, I would have put Timmy and Tiago in.
It looked like they were trying to post splitter which would have been a good move considering he had marion on him. The execution of getting him the ball was horrible though.
+1
I doubt thats how Pop drew it up. I think that was just the bench guys inexperience showing. We didn't have a pg on the floor and no one else came to get the ball.
Exactly. I'm not even mad at Terry. Our bench was simply terrific.
in Bonner held the ball like he was gonna take Carter!!
Cant believe Pop called THAT play!??
What was one player said about POP some years ago?
He's eccentric. Sometimes he does something because its Tuesday.
Is it just me or does Neal have horrible vision/passing ability out of the PnR? He has a pretty good floater from 7-10 feet, but he shoots that shot when the defense completely collapses and he has an open roll-man (Tiago).
pretty sure it wasn't for Splitter.
I think it was supposed to be for JA cutting to the basket off the Splitter screen.
Pop just failed to realize that Bonner would fold with any type of pressure applied.
He doesn't know that play
8 years later and the butthurt remains![]()
mmmhmmm. i don't know if anyone caught it, but if you were watching the espn feed, pop went over to manu and said something like "fisher can catch the ball, turn around, shot with .4 seconds and count but we can't make the same shot in .5??". they both just snickered at each other and shook their head. it happend during the review of that ball that went out between mahinmi, anderson, and green(?). the one that took over 3 minutes. it happened towards the end of the review.
i like how the ref got in the way at the end
i'm cool with the leaving the starters out through the 4th qtr. But i would have liked to see TP in the closing minutes of overtime.
It wasn't for JA. He wasn't even looking for the ball when he slashed through. Look at the replay. It was either for Tiago or Green somehow.
Agreed earlier and agreed now. His court vision leaves a lot to be desired. On the play where Marion strips the ball from him, the slow mo replay shows that hes not even looking at anything other than straight ahead.
Unfortunately every-time he plays the pick and roll he looks for that floater unless he has a clear drive to the basket.
