ask Parker to come off the bench, hehehehe

And this is a 9 figure salary line up from the Blazers ?? I think Allen should have better options to burn his money.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Yea. I mean in general he's far more comfortable driving the ball.

I think benching Pau is the obvious move. Hopefully it'll happen soon. TP is who he is at this point. He's a solid fit to run the offense and shoot occasionally, but having Dedmon will help the defense overall for sure

Been saying for weeks now we have to bench one or the other between LMA and Pau.

[Kawhitstorm]

This team is fun to watch when there's ZERO TOSBs on the rotation

Even TGY has jumped off the Porker bandwagon.

Portland not quitting....

Oh , wrong account b

Wait until Gasol comes back next game and spreads his pussiness through the lineup.

I try to think about this stuff from Pop's pov. To bring in what's considered a big named FA and to bench him less than 2 months in could be seen as tasteless.

I say give it till the end of January and Pop will make the change. It'll be good for Pau too probably, that 2nd unit is much more fluid and would fit him well.

[spurtech09]

and you honestly don't know why? We lost to a clippers team without Griffin and Chris Paul in the 2nd half as Gasol and Aldridge were raped in the paint

Saw the game....You win some lose some brother......Just a game....

I want to bench Gasol too, but the problem with that is Gasol has shown to be a first class pussy. If Popovich moves him to the bench, even coming off the bench, his game would be over. Him starting actually helps what little confidence he has. So we all want that on the bench, but Popvoch knows that moving him to the bench would destroy him

yeah, for another team.

[ElNono]

Wish we could play these stiffs every night, tbh

[spursistan]

How do you seriously keep in justify starting Pau/Porker? This Pop annoying, tbh..The team has flaws, but there is at least bandaid solutions here and there..

agree

[spurtech09]

Aw Dedmon.....

[bklynspursfan]

That lob pass needs to be higher from Lee. Great play there to start

[cutewizard]

santa claus (Pop) is coming to town, lol

[spurtech09]

Portland cutting to the lead.....

Agreed. In hindsight, NOBODY expected such great response from Lee/ Dedmon before the season started. Gasol can have a flashback game here and there, yet, for all purposes, the outcome should be to cut him from the roster.

[spurtech09]

`Wow KL jumper is smooth....

Yea, i worry about his reaction too. The other option is to sub Pau out 2-3 mins into the game like they did with Splitter sometimes and have Dedmon close out the game.

Never know though , Pau could see guys like Lee/Manu/Mills coming off the bench and embrace that role. Guess we'll see

[bklynspursfan]

Aldridge with 10 boards and 6 assists tonight. Great stuff

[TheGreatYacht]

LMA should've popped instead of rolled

[skin27]

why the spurs can't play this good against the clippers?

[spurtech09]

Danny Green needs to stick with the 3's....
