TMac has this series right where he wants it tbh...

ready to shock the world with a vintange performance and steal FMVP
Duncan Parker Ginobili all turned back the clock
now its McGradys turn

[r-nice]

I doubt he's going to play in Game 7 of the NBA Finals unless it turns into a blowout either way.

[Baam]

all the chips are on the table, winner takes all, TMac time baby.

I doubt Pop has a choice tbh, he has a tired team with a short rotation and his backup pg just had an atrocious performance and plays even more like a TOSB with little rest. It's TMac or Neal and Neal has sucked as well against this D.

[Dverde]

Pop won't play him. I think Blair and Corey Joseph should get some minutes, too. No chance in of that happening. Game 7 will go down like Game 6 against OKC. Pop will try to ride big three to victory. We will need the bench to hit some 3s to win game. 7.

CIA Pop withholding T-Mac for the final game?

Let's hope there's some tricks up their sleeves.

[r-nice]

I'd love to see T-Mac have a rewind moment but I just don't see it. If Manu struggles he has to try something.

Joke thread?

LMAO well he is the "Insurance Policy"

tmac truck gonna pull off a 2003 steve kerr

T-Mac is not going to play. Pop doesn't have enough confidence in him to play him. He hasn't played in a regular season game and even though T-Mac would likely make an impact, it's not going to happen.

[hater]

well I'll say if Neal is ting the bed (likely) and Manu has 4+ turnovers in 1st half(likely), Tmac will pay IMO

[SpurOutofTownFan]

while i would like to see TMac playing tomorrow I believe Pop will play the big 3 and Manu will get a lot of minutes - he's that type of coach. I think they will create plays for Manu though. I could be wrong but I think he will pull a General Custer on everyone.

if Manu is playing like in the 1st Q he needs to pull him out quickly, although, I'm not sure he would do that.

[therealtruth]

Pop's legacy is on the line. He better coach his best game of the year. Pull all the stops.

[tesseractive]

While we're at it, Pop should have Baynes out there spotting up for threes. Secret weapon, tbh

In all fairness, I think the "Big 3" moniker is a bit of a misnomer at this point. As a revised edition, I propose: "The Big 2 Steps Forward and 1 Step Back."

Classic thread potential imho

Actually I'd love Baynes as the backup center because he can grab rebounds like any center should and is not scared like Vagina.

Pop should use TMac and Baynes, he needs fresh blood, he needs to take a bet on some players and TMac with his superior BBIQ is one of the few player you can put into a game like that.

If Pop just runs the big 4 (tp, tim, green, y-y) into the ground or uses scared scrubs like Tiago and Joseph we're going to lose. Pop still has his legacy in his hands. We'll see what happens but there's no doubt in my mind that a fresh TMac is better than a tired and depressive Manu.

If he really thought like this he would have tried it in the memphis series...

[elmanutres]

i agree. Baynes doesn't get pushed around like a pussy like splitter. Splitter has shown in this series to be a vagina. At least Baynes has a set of balls

I love how I had no doubt who you meant by "Vagina."

Not that I disagree in the least, but can you imagine spending your whole life training, practicing, etc. to become a professional basketball player only to have fans of your team to nickname you "Vagina"? Hilarious.

Kendrick Perkins doesn't get pushed around either. That didn't stop him from being a totally ing useless plodding waste of space in this year's playoffs.
