That would've been true regardless. You can't chalk that up as a positive for Jackson being waived.
He was off the books next year anyways, wasn't he????????? They were not going to resign him anyways, so releasing him right now does them no good.

And no real PG on the bench. At least they had T.J. Ford.
They said the Warriors would get beaten to a pulp by the Mavs.
Who would, after all, BELIEVE in a squad featuring known "bad guys", an injury prone fat PG, and no legitimate big men on the roster?
which is worse
kobe gone/manu hobbled, diaw out, jackson gone for good.
OKC, Denver and the Clips must be feeling pretty good about coming out of the West. That said, i still believe the Spurs can win this en thing.
Yeh as Spurs fans we're used to seeing other weaker teams implode under the pressure of the playoffs, but sadly that very well may be the Spurs this year. Pop has done a horrible job of getting his team mentally ready. Spurs have absolutely no momentum, it's so bad (and he knows it) that he is having to play Parker these last few games in hopes that it will bring some kind of confidence back to the team, instead of resting Parker as he needs.
Reality check-
Spurs - no jack and dinged up Manu and diaw both of whom will be back at some point
Okc - no harden and a point guard who refuses to share ball with leagues top scorer in Durant
Memphis - no gay
Denver - dinged Lawson no gallinari
Lakers - no Kobe
Bottom line - jack was no longer a difference maker; hence it was not worth putting up with his shenanigans
And Duncan is playing like he's 30 not 36; tony is legit MVP candidate; kanji is an emerging star; tiago is far different player than he was a year ago
What you have stated above could be used as a reason for playing Parker before the playoffs.
Cmon man....
Aint Nobody got time fo twisted logic.
It's been months since I've seen fire in the Spurs eyes, with or without Parker.
POs success depends of players like TS, Green, Kiwi and Neal. They will no t held accountable if losing but they are the ones the Spurs need to make to the finals. The big 3 will do their thing, but the cant win alone.
Save the fire and brimstone for the playoffs.
And we are and have been one of the least firey for a very long time.
Composure with confidence. Question the confidence...
Watching this team crumble makes the meltdown of last year WCF more painful. I totally blame this wacko coach. COY led the team to a complete collapse and panicked yet again. I've got ZERO expectations. I mean ZERO.
Lol! The panic of geek fans who have no skin in the game calling out a coach who's livelihood and reputation are always on the line. I'll say it again, what gamed have y'all been watchong? Jax has sucked - turnovers, missed wide open 3s; the occasional stellar play is often sandwiched in between screwed up plays- either clanks or getting beat off dribble and drawing fouls.
That and you add Diaw out having back surgery and then you add Manu hamstring tear = heartbroken
So Duncan gets No. 5 this year... Kobe joins the Spurs next season and they both get No. 6 as a dual swan song to their legacy... That! would be good craziness...
Not me, I let up on having high expectations a while ago and won't get heartbroken again!!!!!!!!! This is not the le years Spurs, not even close IMO.
Keep the expectations to Zero man and stay there. last years WCF's did not even destroy me for some reason? I mean I was upset some yes but I did not expect a le again TBH! I was upset yes but man I did not go into tears or hurt like it was 04 or 06 again. I gave up on this team being a le team around 09 or so! After that I just said if they do it it's gravy, but I knew inside they were not that great anymore.
Last year was our last shot though honestly, I know that now and it stings now that I think of the run they had! They were so close! Shortened year! Health! 20 game streak! What more could you ask forThat was their run, it ended but hey they made a huge run again at it so to that I give thanks! 011 it was all over IMO and the end, last year they proved me wrong.They are not better and do not have the same chemistry as last year, period. Who is KANJI BTW? New secret weapon????????
