    So who here still thinks this was a good idea? Oh, he'll get his game wind. Oh, he isn't ready to contribute yet. Yah, send him down to the free for all league of bitter nba wannabees who play with a chip on their shoulder....

    Well at least we'll get to see more of the the turd towers now. I know Pop is secretly pleased to be able to reunite his favorite B & B backups..
    Excellent point. I move we wrap the whole team in newspaper and put them in a hermetically-sealed roughneck tupperware container in the garage until the ring ceremony.

    Hey I got an idea, how about Pop just start actually playing the guys that are going to give the spurs the best chance to win instead of endlessly ing around with these back and forth stupid short term call ups to the Dimwit league?

    You really never seem to get it. I'm afraid your ship has sailed.

    So what am I missing again? Oh ya, that instead of giving Baynes the necessary minutes he would need to play himself into shape and put the turds on the bench with permanent DNP's he instead elects to send Baynes to the Dip league to learn terrible habits and put himself at serious risk of injury....

    that sound about right, sweet-cakes?

    I thought it was kinda stupid to send him to the D-League when we are playing the sucky teams in which he should have gotten playing time. But as always it is easy to look back and say should have would have etc...

    Hey, I know you don't really watch the Spurs, but did you hear about Tim Duncan getting injured last night? And where in the did you hear about Toros players "learning terrible habits"? The Toros run the same system as the Spurs, and are coached by coaches hired under Pop and RC. The only "terrible habit", is your takes on basketball tbh.

    I'm surprised Splitter hasn't been injured yet considering his past.

    These guys are athletes, not children. They don't need to be coddled. Just as in baseball where someone goes down to the minors for a stint, the D-league is a good way to get a foreign player more accustomed to NBA rules and guidelines, and to learn the system. Duncan got hurt in an NBA game, same night. Every player on every team is hurt at some point. , Bonner was hurt. All the Captain Hindsight is just that, . They get into the system, a system that's proven to be the best in the league, and they take their chances. You and I can get hurt at work, doesn't mean we shouldn't go to work. It is what it is, no decision or person is to blame. It's a game after all.

    I think Pop & RC need to get some better coaches then. Ones that can teach proper entry passes into the post.

    In the nba you wouldn't see re ed entry passes lofted from the top of the key. You don't even see that type of stupidity at the high school level.

    They need to get over themselves and just play guys that are going to play. I know I'm in the minority, but I have never liked and don't understand this over managing of minutes, resting games and d league send down / call-ups. I gome some credence to a certain extent but I just think Pop over does it. He especially keeps the training wheels on new guys for way to long.

    Phil Jackson never pulled this stuff. He road his horses every year and they never seemed to get hurt outside of Shaq because he was fat and lazy. And if they did get hurt, then they got hurt because its part of the game and he moved with his coaching and let them play hurt if they felt they could go.

    say what you want about Phils gravy training but dude ended up with 11 rings and owned Pop in the playoffs. I just have a feeling Pop wouldn't left MJ at the hotel with the flu, and sent Pippen home with his chronic bad back (tongue-in-cheek).

    And I can't stand Phil Jackson!

    It actually started out as the Jam's practice facility. They didn't draw well in the Rabobank Center, so they just started playing there.

    When Richards develops the ability to not get fired from Europe's worst franchises?
