So once Manu gets back Neal will be out of the rotation?
Thinking this, although Cojo is also a good defender.

I wonder if this makes cojo tradable now this offseason. he has shown some good flashes so teams might be interested.
cojo/de colo >>>>>>mills/neal................... play cojo ......................

I still like CoJo better. If nothing else, just for his defense and taking care of the ball.
I'm still of the opinion that CoJo gives you the most consistency at the position, but I think Pop is looking for more than just steady play with Manu out. I don't know if De Colo makes up for his bonehead plays with enough brilliant ones, but I guess Pop feels differently.
I'm still not convinced. Does this mean while Ginobili is out, or even when he comes back? I'll concede that at this point, it probably depends on the play of Neal and De Colo from here on out as opposed to being predetermined, but still.
None of the backup PGs are impressive, tbh..
De Colo is still too erratic, Mills is a shorter Neal, and Joseph is too soft and conservative..if Joseph plays with aggression, he's probably the best of the 3, but he rarely strings together a stretch of constant aggression..
I prefer CoJo myself, but I'll take Pop finally settling on someone. He let this situation linger to long. We needed to establish a rhythm with the rotation earlier.
hh is a cojo hater............................................. . hh thinks rj >>>>>jackson...........................
his Joseph is actually attacking off screens and hitting floaters like tonight ill take him
De Colo is good for 2-3 stupid plays a game
Good decision, Pop. Neither Cojo nor deColo are terrific, but deColo has the better bball i.q., imo. And god knows this team needs all of that it can get.
But lest anyone imagine differently, were we to get to the finals (a big IF), we have zero chance against Miami without Ginobili functioning at a high level.
It really doesn't matter who the backup is. The drop off from Ginobili to anyone else is too great to overcome.
I'm glad he settled on one... hopefully it stops the shuffling and there's more consistent minutes for the winner (DeColo). I'm with Harlem, we're used to more aggressive PGs, and none of them fit that mold. Hopefully they discover their aggression with more minutes.
Can't believe Baynes didn't get the chance to prove himself at the point. He's proved himself everywhere else! Have you seen how wide his shoulders are?
I wasnt too impressed with De Colo tonight and I liked the energy CoJo brought....
Not at all. Neal will probably walk, and Mills has a 1.15 million dollar player option. There's a chance both walk. Plus we have CoJo locked up for another 2 seasons, and he's not exactly a cap burden. I think the front office will make some sort of effort to retain one of the 2 aforementioned, though, as we do need a sharpshooter off the bench.
I liked seeing both Nando and CoJo on the court at the same time, i thought the ball movement was picking up again. Hopefully we can see more of that since Manu will take awhile to get into any sort of rhythm.
Pop's comment only confirms that GNeal is back up PG come P/offs.
What are the comments he said?
That Nando is the back-up pg.
Wow. I can't believe all of you are so happy about this. I know Joseph is young, but he obviously plays the best defense and makes the least amount of mistakes running the offense out of all the back-up Pgs. Also, I think Joseph is simply more talented than De Colo, and is a better shooter. I'm not surprised though, Pop always values older foreign players over new guys like Joseph. Still, I just can't get over with how average De Colo looks at times. To me he's a slow, bad shooter, who makes poor decisions and a poor defender. Frankly I'd take Neal over De Colo just because Neal can at least provide some offense. But I think Pop overthought this one. Ultimately Parker is so much better than the rest right now that it shouldn't be a huge concern unless he's injured, but to me I'd think having a defensive specialist like Joseph, or a offensive specialist like Neal, would be better than having a decent all around player like De Colo at back-up point.
De colo should play SG, cojo is the only one who can defend fast PGs and he's a nice fit next to Manu or De colo. If Manu is injured.
The de colo manu/Neal backcourt is ing scary vs the clips for instance.
Yup, Joseph has a better looking shot and when he's aggresive, he makes plays on D as well, tbh.
I thought that you were implying that he said something else after the game.
I wouldn't be surprised to see Pop fall back to Neal during a tight playoffs game, tbh.
I quite like De Colo though, his size is quite an asset and I would like to see the Spurs work with him over the offseason to help him take more advantage of that (post ups).
