Spurs just didn't play their game... no ball movement, scared to shoot, scared to drive...
If this is the brand of basketball the Spurs are going to play in the playoffs, no matchup "adjustment" is going to fix that.
burn the GD tape

For tomorrow night? Yes. Pop can't panic or else the whole team will panic.
But obviously going forward against the Lakers, if Pop doesn't play Duncan and Splitter together he might have to let someone else coach games against L.A., tbh.
I am, and I replied. If Tony is going to drop a 4 point turd, and everyone else will just stop playing, then it's not just the Lakers that's a bad matchup. We can't compete.I hope ElNono and other chest-puffers are reading this
Burn it. Then piss on it tbh.
Who really cares? We didn't have it tonight, they did. Yeah, there are things to fix but the sky-is-falling fan is annoying. Sometimes dudes just don't click and have it. It was one of those nights. it, forget about it, and get it back on their home floor in a week.
exactly - parker could not buy a shot and ginobili could not help himself from turning over the ball
nevertheless, in the following games, world peace should score 13 fewer pts and tony should score 13 more pts. i cannot believe the type of shots world peace hit - 3 pointer (just to hit the rim at the buzzer - did not even jump or bend his hands into a shooting motion), 3-4 fade aways on long 2s, ridiculous 3PT shooting %
If "panicking" means playing less Bonner and more Splitter, I say panic, baby!
Please panic, Pop.
Big time.
I don't know, I don't think starting Diaw over Blair would change things so dramatically. And if we're going to make that change, the sooner the better.
Stick with Blair in the starting lineup for now. You can always change that at the very end of the regular season or in the playoffs. But against the Lakers, Splitter should be the first bigman off the bench and play 30 minutes at least.
after tonight's loss you need to change your name from TimVp change to TimPP
Gotta agree with timvp. Out of all the Spurs tonight, Danny Green and Stephen Jackson earned big time minutes with their performances tonight. Both bring hustle and toughness to the team. Tony and Tim need to get their heads out of their asses, forget this performance, and bring their A games next time. Theres no way in teams like the Hornets and Suns (who played the Lakers much tougher) are better than the Spurs. Tonight is what a major lack of effort tbh....
This should've been happening for a while now. There's no excuse for it. But it's not the reason we lost this game, IMO.
NoNo, you're still not understanding it. Tony had an awful game, but the Spurs got Deebo'd at home w/o the leading scorer in the league. I know you'll comeback with, "well they're better without Kobe!," but this is the same lineup that got butt ed by the Suns and nearly lost to the freaking Hornets.
Our bigs also shot 16-44 from the field, a terrible percentage for them.
Like I've been telling you since Day 1. The playoffs is all about matchups, and the Spurs want NO part of the Lakers in that regard (or Memphis).
imma need some more stats on why this is Bonner's year, tbh.
Get on that roycrik
timpp
tim pee-pee
So starting Splitter over Blair now would cause the team to panic but making the change before the playoffs wouldn't? It would seem doing that right before the elimination games start would be a worse move. At least doing it now would give the team time to adjust and find some chemistry...doing it after April 26th would be a death sentence.
It's amazing how in 10 seconds into the second half Tiago guarder 2000 times better Bynum than any other bigmen despite TD.
Pretty much agree with all.
Im very disappointed with Tony, what the ? Im one of his biggest fans but the disappearing act he had tonight it's scary.
Yeah your bigs shot 16-44 but then rebounded the out of the ball and kicked it out to Artest who scored 26 fluke ass points and Blake made fade-away fluke ass 3's....
Defense was the least reason the Spurs lost the game. What was way more concerning was the offense and the rebounding (or lack of, in both cases).
Tim and Tony both played like dog , and Pop never made proper adjustments. He should've come out in the second half with Tiago and Manu starting and gone to the pick-and-roll with Tiago.
AMEN, which is why I am not getting up some high hopes this year yet.
Pop's not going to go from not playing them together when they are getting curbstomped on the boards to starting him next game. If Pop wants to start Splitter and Duncan next game, go ahead. But there's no way that's what he does.
Bonner didn't have much to do, if anything, with the loss. I guess you missed the 20 straight trips down the floor where no one besides Tim and Tony touched the ball.
lol no, I'm not going to pull the Lakers play better without Kobe.
We've both watched the Lakers this season, and MWP had an incredibly fluke night. Tony also had a terrible night. You get those two guys alone to their averages, and the Spurs win.
Tony specifically pisses me off, because he doesn't play scared like that against Dwight. I'm just disgusted, and it's not just him. Spurs just didn't run their offense and didn't play their game. Sometimes it's as simple as that.
