Bertans was part of the late comeback run then I didn't see him at the end or in OT..

Pop won't live by Bertans. He'll die by Anderson or Ginobili. This is proven.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

We got momentum then Pop went back to Lee to close out regulation. So typical, tbh

[8FOR!3]

Bertans' length shows up on defense, wish we'd give him more chances

[BillMc]

Davis did surprisingly well on ZBo.

[timtonymanu]

We know he's not gonna play. Just another name on the long list of rookies Pop chooses to sit out because of his stubborn methods.

[poop]

Just pop being pop.

[MultiTroll]

What can you expect vs a #7 seed with a coach of the pedigree of Fizdale?

Cut Pop some slack.

[TD 21]

He can't guard Randolph on the block. They were having Randolph duck in on the weak side, have Gasol and him play high low and he was burying Bertans. Only turnovers, fouls, etc., prevented him from scoring at will, but it was only a matter of time.

He could have played SF, with Leonard sliding down to SG though, since they couldn't find a SG that could make a shot. But Gasol should have been the 2nd big closing.

[SAGirl]

I mentioned this in the game thread. He did surprisingly well and was making plays on defense and in transition. The team made a run not just bc of his shooting and space he provided but bc they played at a faster pace and he was surprisingly fine on defense.

I would have liked to have seen Davis more.

Huh??? We were playing well when he was in...zbo couldn't score on him...yet your philosophy was that MAYBE he MIGHT have gotten scored on? David Lee was getting scored on EVERYTIME!!! AND he wasn't doing on offense...Bertans was FAR superior

I want to agree with you so bad. But I was impressed with the way he went with Mills over manu an Green. But I'd love to see more Bertans... He's always ready!

[SPURt]

What I liked most about Bertans was how he seemed to enjoy the physicality of playing Z Bo. I'm kind of glad the Spurs are playing Memphis this round. The Spurs get to figure out who has heart. If this series doesn't break the Spurs it's going to send them into the rest of the playoffs ready to beat up some teams. Memphis makes the rest of the NBA look soft as .

[testies]

Bertans played great defense.. Zbo has very hard time with tall discilpined europeans like Splitter

[140]

He hasn't gotten over himself just yet

This was Poop's reasoning when it was ter's first year and the Spurs were getting raped by the 8 seed Grizz. McDyess was pulling double duty since his backup was the ever pathetically awful and useless Bonner and they were getting their asses kicked. Finally Poop put in ter and he did way better defending, but it was too late. So his disgusting love affair with Asteroid Head isn't nothing to be surprised at.

mcdoosh was the worst player on sa. awful coaching

He had peaked 15 years before, when he had 30 knee surgeries. And Poop was relying on him to be a starter.

And what has changed since then? Pop still relying on old veterans. This goes back to Porter, Ferry

We didn't finally get over the LAL hump and win a championship until Pop went with younger blood in Manu, Jackson, and Claxton in key moments.

[itzsoweezee]

In pop's mind, years of experience always trumps ability. It ALWAYS comes back to bite him in the ass in the playoffs. Can't wait for the Ime era to start.

A McDyess/ ter combo would've been fine and it worked out fine when it happened during the game. A McDyess/Boner combo was just dripping of cancer and it killed the Spurs in '11.

Starters for game 5
Dedmon
Aldridge
Bertans
Green
Leonard

Why the fuk is it so difficult for pop to put out this Defensive/Slashing/Floor spacing lineup??

Bad lineup but you do got 3 point shooters in Kawhi, Green, Bertans... 2 drivers kawhi, bertans... rebounding and defense. Could Kawhi facilitate the whole game?
