I prematurely ejaculated a Pop/Bonner hate thread

[Fabbs]

I was fantasizing that late in the 4th when Bonner and Blair were in the game that Timmy stepped up without Pop telling him to get in the game and told Tiago "c'mon with me, we're going in"

How sweet would that be if Tiim and the core members called Pops headgamey ass out.

Juggity

The counterargument to that would be of course that Duncan, Ginobili, Robinson, Parker, Bowen, and a few other excellent players have made up for Pop's obvious shortcomings by being incredible in their own right. Now, in Duncan's twilight years, with less help and fading natural abilities, Pop is playing a bigger role than he ever did during the championship years, and his personal failings and shortcomings are being unfortunately exposed.

2008-on.

2006 on really....

Spurs have best record in the West, overall number one seed in the West when many experts had written us off, second best overall record in NBA history, Pop menioned as possible COY, have added much needed athleticism to team that was lacked several years ago...yeah our coaching staff sucks.

I guess many of you young folks dont know what it was like prior to Pop when the Spurs were viewed much like the Dallas Mavericks are now. Pop gives us a chance to win a championship every year. If you think that any coach could do the same then look at recent history with teams that were considered contenders and made coaching changes; the Dallas Mavericks in 2007-2008, Detroit Pistons 2006-2007, Los Angeles Lakers after 2004. Look how those teams turned out.

We have a chance to win because of Tim Duncan, then Manu, then Tony in that order.

LOL at us suddenly being good because of Pop.

How did those teams turn out? You're making a point, I just have no idea what it is.

Pop's got a system, 4 rings. Bonner is playing great D and finally assuming the Robert Horry role. Even if Splitter were ready this year, he's expendable because our rotation is so solid.

[Obstructed_View]

Bonner is playing great D, the best of all the Spurs bigs, and is completely failing to put any pressure on either Gasol or Randolph. Expect five more close games where neither of them ever foul out or have a shot blocked. That's hamstringing the out of your team, particularly when the Thunder are going to have a week to sit around and rest while the Spurs try to eke out a series win.

Blair is a beast, a force to be reckoned with. Lookout NBA, here we come!
