I would have liked to see him for 2 reasons
1) Look for a spark in the game
2) give some rest to TP or Manu.
Neil/CoJo were not cutting it in the 2nd half.
Man I would have liked to have seen him in the second half for just a few minutes. JUst to see if he has something to offer. When shots are falling things are great but when we slump we slump.

How he isn't playing over Bonner i'll never know. No way he's THAT out of shape still or is that unfamiliar with the system. I think Pop just isn't comfortable playing him for whatever reason.
Shortened rotations...
If they're going to play an extended rotation, he can't be any worse than Neal or Bonner, tbh..
Perhaps even his size could provide some better defense on Barnes than Neal can.
maybe Tmac will score 13 points in a min for us
I don't get the TMac love. The move would reek of desperation. Granted, we haven't seen him practice, but he hasn't shown much in his past few years in the NBA. Sure he was great in his prime, but what does he have left? Even in China he was outscored by the likes of Quincy Doby, Josh Akognon, Steph Marbury, Marcus Haislip, and Pooh Jeter.
He may not have much left, but neither does Gary Neal, tbh..
But Pop...
If we lose game 5, TMac comes out to play 20+ min in game 6
Not looking at him to give more than 3-5 mins really...
Plus if other players aren't contributing and are getting abused on the defensive end, why not at least throw him out to see if he can provide something.
I'm not proposing he be looked at as a consistent contributor, just someone who could come in and hopefully provide a spark.
seriously playblair.................
blair would dominate a hobbled david lee .....................blair would limit landry (see game 1)..................... bonner is wack..................................
The Spurs only need to play 3 bigs. Diaw and Splitter should be getting 25+ minutes.
I too would like to see McGrady, but only because I want to see him come in as a small hero. More than that I want to see Diaw and Splitter more.
I had high hopes for TMac but unfortunately he probably has not shown much in the practices they've had.
TMAC didn't play in any single regular season game for the Spurs and you huckleberries want him to see action in a PO game?? If this guy gets in the game, it will be because Pop has given up on the guys that brought you to the dance. If that's the case, might as well just wave the white flag because we're toast.
Pop should have given up long ago on Bonner and Neal IMO.
When he got a couple of minutes in the regular season, I noticed he didn't try to shoot. Made a couple of passes. But he really impressed me with his defense. As I recall he made a couple of nice plays and/or steals. If he's in shape he might give a couple of minutes on defense against their long shooters.
TMAC was just brought in for injury insurance. If someone gets injured, that is the only possibility of him playing.
Still would like to see him for a stretch. Always kind of liked McGrady.
Considering the Spurs offense has been more of an issue, TMac could make an impact even if his shot wasn't falling with his court vision/passing.
But if Pop did overreact it would be more Bonner, Neal, and Blair before him.
I don't want to see TMac out of love for the guy. I just think he can do better than Gary Neal. I mean, surely.
And playing Baynes would fix the rebounding issues. BUT THEY DON'T KNOW THE SYSTEM YOU MORONS. THEY DON'T HAVE THE CORPORATE KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY TO GET ON THE COURT. WHAT TEAM HAVE YOU BEEN WATCHING THE LAST FEW YEARS.
If he can do somehow a Glen Robinson impersonation, i would like him to get some of the Neal/Green minutes if we are up in the first half.
It would help keep Manu or TP a bit fresh if he can carry some offense.
If he s the bed then he is just as good as Danny or Gary.
