First playing 4 down basketball requires 5 wings at the minimum. Neal has shown in the past that he can get hot at any given time. Even playing him 15 minutes in the playoffs is worth the risk simply because he could get hot. He really only plays so Manu, Parker, Neal & even Kawhi can get rest. Mcgrady is the 15th man on the team ,genius, How many times does a player not make a roster in training camp and sign with a team in the final week of the season and play valuable minutes in the second round ona healthy team (K-mart on the Knicks is because of Wallace, & Amare being out). Pop isn't to blame his decision making has been solid. He sees something isn't working and moves away from it if possible.
Playing Kawhi on Curry didn't work because Parker would forced to defend Barnes in the post so he went with Green allowing Parker to play Thompson who his more of a spot up shooter. When both teams go four down he guards Jack. The Spurs need to execute better, we choked away a game on the road. Pop really helped us be compe ive in GSW.
Where was he when we went into double overtime an won Mr. Smarty pants? Thank you an to the rest of you that wanna be mean. This is just my thoughts. If you don't agree, just say that. No need to try an make fun an poke at the lion sleeping in the jungle
Three baskets in a row is "something isn't working".
He was on the bench where coaches belong, Mr dumbass.
Thank you for being mean to Mr. Pop.
lol poking a lion
We are to old to be trying to just go with eight guys for the whole playoffs. I can tell you that unless Pop plays Baynes, Tmac and CoJo we will loose this game and the next on Bank on it! You can tell that our main guys are gassed including Kawhi and Bonner and Neal aren't doing but making it worse. I also can't stand how Pop pulls guys when they are doing good..it is like WTF you finally have a guy hit a open shot and you wanna take him out and put in brinking Neal?
Not sure exactly to what your referring to?
The teams offense buckled in the 2nd half
He's referring to Tiago had the P&R 3 straight plays an we scored 3 straight times an Pop's next move was to snatch Tiago for the rest on the game instead of letting his keep playing while a gased Duncan rest at least till the 5min mark.
No you dumb ! You ask should we bench Timmy for Tiago. I asked where was Timmy when we went into double ot an won. He was on the bench an Diaw was in the game. Your extra stupid cuz you wanna be an asshole but your to stupid to even be that. Get a life loser. I wont directany more comments your way stupid.
You know all 4 Spurs le teams were hardly world beaters that cruised to a chip. 99 was maybe the closest thing to it. 03, 05, 07 all were battles in the playoffs. Pop must have done something right.
Lol you want Duncan on the bench.
There's no way around you being basketball dumb on that.
Yes he did...... almost 10yrs ago.
An Blake please stop quoting me. I dont like you. You remind me of my kids mother. No matter what I say or do, you got a rebuttal.
unlike your baby momma, I'm not demanding child support.
nobody is forcing you to post your stupid basketball takes, so no need to cry about me making fun of those lol takes
So every year the Spurs have lost in the playoffs is on Pop huh?
Interesting..
The Lakers series notwithstanding (and really, who read anything into that series?), this team has struggled mightily offensively for 2 and 1/2 months and you think playing two non scorers more is the answer?
Not having Neal at full strength is a major blow to this team, particularly with Ginobili no longer being a reliable scorer. I'd go so far as to say that if they had a fully healthy Neal, this series would be over in 5.
Four pgs from four days ago on a subject I started. Including multi comments from you as well Mrs. Blake. It must not to to much of a stupid thought. Seems to me more agree with things than not. They call you an others like yourself "Popsuckers" I believe.
Splitter layup, and 2 baskets by Kawhi, assisted by Splitter to start the 4th quarter, and Splitter was benched. The Spurs then went on a jumpshot binge and away the lead and got blown out in overtime.
Are you roflyao now that Duncan is benched
ownawage
Give Pop credit. He didn't make the same mistake again.
They're eating crow for breakfast now.
His best move was when Neal guarded jack and Jack made a shot, he didn't blink and took Neal out.
So you called it for game 6?
Show where you said Pop needs to sit him in the 4th quarter for game 6, thanks.
This thread was you calling for heavy minutes from McGrady.
