Resting Whites injury? Ok.
Lonnie Walker 2 minutes.
Pet Wombat 25 minutes.
Yeah, I don't get this. He rode the wave with White and Poeltl; both were in for a longer stretch than usual and the game was 99% in hand by the time he removed them. Maybe he could have rode them 1 more minute to push the 99 to 99.9, but that's nit picking.
what do you care, you quit remember?
How many 3 pointers does the little er have through 6 games? I count 2.
He might as well be wearing a Denver uniform at this point.
LOL, "wise"
I'm afraid there wasn't any extra ordinary about Gregg's press manners. That is how Gregg has rolled ever since I can remember. Definitely at least 10 years back. He's never going to change in that setting.
My point is that he seemed totally unaware that his team didn't bring the effort in Game 5. Maybe he just can't admit to any fault - but that's what the OP was talking about. He just keeps throwing Patty in and it's a disaster.
It's an elimination game though ffs. The cir stances aren't exactly comparable to whatever other time he might've used that rotation. Buying him a quick breather I can understand...you know stick Patty in a corner for a possession or two, call a full timeout afterwards, etc. But nah Pop was out there calling plays for him.
They cut it down to 14 after the Harris 3 at about the 5:20 mark btw (still plenty of time), after which Pop called a timeout. Guess who he trotted out at the PG spot? I'm asbsolutely convinced this is a case of him trusting Wombat over White and not a case of White not being needed after the lead ballooned.
No lie, I am raging. I can picture Wombat in the late stages of 4th Qtr of Game 7 already.
Like it or not he's on the team so taking an occasional gamble to get him going is, indeed, wise.
Why don't we take a gamble to get Pondexter going while we're at it?
That's fair. Would love for Lonnie to get more burn than that. Maybe he wanted "Wombat" to get in a rhythm for game 7. Not agreeing with it. You know Pop as well as anyone.
Isn't Wombat your dude tbh?
Double post.
Because when Mills is going he has the potential to hit momentum shifting 3s, draw big charges, and exploit sloppy passing with steals. I understand the hate for him, I'm not a big fan of him either, but there's no denying he has the ability to get hot and make an impact.
Up until that point, White had played the whole second half outside of a two minute break at the end of the third. If you want him in at the start of the fourth to buy time without DeRozan (AKA staggering), you're going to have to live with a two minute break at around the five minute mark.
When was the last time Pop ended a game with Mills over White? It might have happened once in the last 50 or 60 games, tbh.
I understand being paranoid when Mills is involved but this is an unfounded worry, IMO.
Exactly. It seemed pretty obvious this was the case
Patty/Marco never played without at least 2 starters tonight
^ this
Not anymore, tbh.
But doesn't it just make so much more sense to just cut his minutes and make sure he doesn't play any critical minutes?
Like I said I get it with LMA or DD or Rudy, since there's no better options to turn to. But since when do you give more shots to a scrub when he's struggling just to get him going? Especially when there's a much much better option available. Just doesn't seem logical.
IDK maybe you're right. I hope you're right. I'm just so mad at Pop atm, have been for days.
Pop sat Bertan's ass down, a smart move. Yet lil' Rhino Clit must play on, and on...why, exactly?
This made me lol.
Patty has the most experience, that Spur's culture, team leader, etc...
*digs into nickname handbook*
Well, you gotta play someone, tbh.
Love my "so mad the Spurs won" fans
Who came up with the new name for mills wombat....bloody gold.
