Really, the simple fact of the matter is the Spurs need some production from the bench. Don't count Parker's numbers as part of that tonight and Pheonix simply owned them.
Dogs speech time?
Big three got issues with each others
I'm 100% sure spurs will make accurate adjustments, but the suns can have ridiculous runs.
Now this series is dangerous as

I'd give a million bucks if Pop used a more feline term this time.
Just check the +/- for the likely game 2 starting lineup. With Parker starting we are much better.
Don't forget, Nash can't play 40 mpg. I think our bench is competent enough to match theirs.
It was like George was s -shocked after Nash murdered him for 17 in the first. I think Hill will bounce back OK, but I never want to see him guard Nash for an extended period again. Why the did you not bring Bruce Bowen back, Pop? He would be perfect to throw on Nash for 15 minutes a night.
I'll bet he does, just not to the media.
Make their ing layups...you miss like 12 layups and lose by single digits...just horrible
Seriously though, we can make all the "don't play bonner, don't play bogans, don't play mason" threads in the world but the starters can't play the entire game against the Suns. There's just far too much running.
Those guys will have to step up and provide them with something in order for the Spurs to win.
benching hill now is stupid. he'll be much better next game.
9 man rotation.
Parker
Hill
RJ
Duncan
Dice
Bench
Manu
Bonner
Bogans
Blair
We have the size advantage over a team for once, take advantage of it. We have no three point shooters outside of Manu and Hill stop trying to find it. We don't need three point shooting to win this series. The line-up of Tony, Manu, RJ, Dice and Duncan was like +10 on the game. Use them.
Tony, Manu, RJ or Hill, Dice and Duncan should be our go to line-up.
Please no more Bogans and/or Mason.

You already sound like a pussy
And get Manu under control on offense. Where there's a whip there's a way.
-Trap Nash early, like NewJers said..either that or simply give him the jump shot, even though he's obviously a great shooter..he got 4 easy layups in the 1st quarter, giving him a rhythm for the entire game..Hill couldn't stay with him, but Duncan was also paying too much attention to Collins..Collins is one of the worst offensive players in NBA history, Duncan shouldn't be paying attention to him..he should overplay on Nash early, it doesn't bother me..
-Avoid playing Mason..this one is obvious..
-Avoid having Hill guard bigger players..it's taking too much out of him..having Hill come off the bench will allow him to guard Dragic or whoever, so it's better than having him guard Richardson or Grant Hill..he was exploited when he had to guard them..
-Give minutes to Bogans or Hairston, not too many minutes, but give them the spot minutes that Mason was receiving..it's risky..Bogans is a below average NBA player and Hairston hasn't proven to be a legit NBA player, but they're the only 2 guys on the roster that have the physical tools to match up with guys like Richardson, Hill and Dudley..
-Stop taking so many jump shots..the Spurs got more points inside the paint in the 2nd half, they just kept attacking..Phoenix has horrible interior defenders, even worse than the Spurs, keep attacking..
-More McDyess..
Obviously things like Duncan, Ginobili and Hill playing better + better bench production is obvious, not really an adjustment though..
Yeah but when Bonner gives you then what? Bogans actually played ok for the few minutes he was in but Blair played pretty badly.
Feels like the Spurs should win every game doesn't it
Start Parker. Hope that hill decides to show up next game and not play like a silverstar. Run some dives to hue basket for RJ get him going.
Make freaking lay-ups..
Tell Bonner that when somebody closes out on him and he doesn't have a passing angle, a fadeaway is far better than a drive.
thought the spurs played a good game. Hill and Dice are obviously having trouble defensively but nothing we cant fix. Suns came out with a lot more energy and physicality from the get go (which was to be expected) but the spurs did a good job matching it in the 2nd half.
I expect the spurs to win game 2. If duncan can stay healthy they absolutely have nobody to stop him
why the do mason and bonner see so much playing time? ing play blair and bogans, atleast bogans plays d.
Waive/ Cut Mason from the team if its possible. Please!
Dice was -4 in the game.
Manu was +5 and Parker and Bogans were +4.
And George Hill was a nasty -22.
We have a greater chance at getting something out of Bonner and Blair.
We need some damn shooting for spacing. It's very difficult to do anything without consistent outside shooting. Such a far cry from the past two Spurs seasons.
RMJ is finished. End of story. And playing Bogans is a loser's strategy. It's fact. Bogans works in small small small doses only. Any extended time is ing yourself.
It takes round 2 of the playoffs for us to realize we have no bench
Man, Bonner really breaks my heart. I want the guy to succeed so badly but it just doesn't happen.
lol I just hate when they play like this, i care too much
