At least, Mr. Dead Weight (Bonner) should have been dumped for Boozer.
Pop treating him like 2008 Finley isn't helping the cause.
Except he's putting up those number against BACKUPS otherwise Mo Speight would be a superstar.he is doing ok comparing to expectations. Dude is 35 y/o it is not on him Pop is playing him too much. BTW his stats so far are pretty similar per 36 / advanced than his career
jesus christ yes why is he suddenly a key player.
Our second big like others have said??? What a stupid joke that is.
That never materialized during the regular season or we wouldn't have won so many games. This needs to stop.
He is dumb and simply not a winner in the Spurs tradition.
Meanwhile the greatest winner in NBA history and one of the most intelligent players ever who just happens to also be the greatest Spur ever, ROTS ON THE BENCH FOR THIS MORON.
It's hard to stomach. It's disrespectful quite frankly.
oh and Mcdyess was definitely better.
Bonner likely is also better. At least against OKC.
Honestly, I didn't even know Booz was still in the league. Speaking of Bonner though, if he would've been cut instead of Butler I wonder if he would be getting minutes this series.
Wonder how many rings Tim would have with Phil as his coach all these years.
that's your pov and on pop tbh... nothing to do with the fact he is overrated or not... unless you mean he is overrated by Pop which is a different debate
Except he's putting up those number against BACKUPS otherwise Mo Speight would be a superstar.
and then again I don't know who is overrating him tbh... he is producing no more or less than expected.
Boozer refused to play unless it was for a contender so he now works for NBATV
BTW, I hope PATFO don't max out Horford:
he surely would not have 2014/15 ring tbh... Phil is nice and all but globally he had one system, did not change much over the years and was good at managing egos... not sure in what world this makes him a better coach than Pop.
for all the he gets, no pop no ring that year. Pop just changed the whole nba in one season and still there are people giving him
Pop's legacy on the game and FO management is 10 times Phil's one
Considering how he's held in high regard you would think he's an all-star
What's impressive about splitting minutes w/ a handicapped 40 yr old? He got his ass handed to him in the 4th quarter b/c he's a bum.well except the fact he is playing as much as Tim... at 20 mpg he is not playing just against backups on the contrary... Last two games he played all fourth quarters for instance.
I didn't know they gave out rings for getting outcoached by Glenn.

Speights plays as much as Bogut but he ain't no Bogut.

This is actually the best summary. Was fine as the 4th big but as the 2nd? NOPE.West is fine for the price..I liked the addition in the off-season as a 4th big..Indiana fans hated him as a starter and rightfully so, he's a liability in that role..
The problem is that he's currently playing as the #2 big, which is as bad as it gets
I agree, it is dire, but he shouldn't be expected to be doing this much.. Imagine an older/shorter Mo Speights without his recently developed 3pt shot and a broken jumper closing 4th Qs for the Warriors
No. Next question.Is David West the most overrated acquisition since Jefferson?
And both teams did demolish him in the RS. He could not guard GSW especially at all, but neither could Timmy.
But Pop is out there doing this:
Word....The guy who posted this is on the crack pipe
Carl
Holy
Ridiculous. He's playing solid. Besides, he signed for free practically
nothing like OP's youtube arguments
he's the type of guy who will argue how great anthony morrow is and defend it by posting a youtube of his 42 point game
He's good for the value the Spurs got him for. Jefferson was overpaid and didn't produce at what people expected of him. West has pretty much done what I expected which is be a guy who gets 6-8 points a game, and 5-7 rebounds. The problem is due to Duncan's rapid decline he's being forced to play a bigger role than what was originally expected.
He's overrated in the context of what people who don't watch the NBA outside of SA and are obsessed with names thought he still was, but fine for what he's been; especially for the money.
Pop asking him to be more isn't on West at this point, like it was not on Bonner when he was asked to be a starting PF in this league.
Exactly.
The issue with West, is symbolic of the issue with this team: They're relics of the past. I don't just mean by age, but by style. Even though West can still play, he's an awkward fit in today's game, because power forwards like him aren't being developed anymore. When he was coming up, the mid ranger and post defense were what was required. Now, it's the three and the ability to switch. So he's longer a pure four, but he doesn't protect the rim/defensive rebound well enough to be a five, either.
