Maybe Pop is a genius afterall?

DMC, respect your opinion - but seriously? Do you really think Splitter will see a second of PT during the playoffs?

Although I wasn't being serious, Tiago will only see time if the Spurs are up 25 with 2 minutes to go or down 20 with 2 minutes to go. Even then it's questionable if the towel boy hasn't logged minutes yet.

I wish I had the gif for it, but during the opening sequence on Fox SW, it showed the Spurs "now" and they showed each person on the court except Splitter. Him they showed smiling on the bench. I thought that was funny but sad as at the same time. It will be even worse if we lose to the 8th seed.

Of course if the Grizz go cold from the field, the Spurs could look like a monster, and suddenly Blair, Bonner and Jefferson are the ing musketeers.

Bottom line Pop might turn out to look like a genius in this series but it would be ABSOLUTE FOOLS GOLD as Thunder and LAL have more skilled front lines.

It's not even worth talking about anymore. Everyone and everything just gets repeated in these Splitter threads. Every single thing has been touched on regarding this matter.

I don't see how Pop could look like a genius with Manu in an arm brace because of the last game of the season, and losing the 1st at home. Maybe he could look competent and the team could look poised, but genius? No.

Also, both games were decided by just a few points. Either could have been wins or losses depending on a couple of shots falling or not. There's no master plan. Pop is winging it.

Pop has proven his genius. Rummpd is a flip-flopper

Sorry, Perkins and Ibaka are good defenders and rebounders, but Gasol/ZBo are WAY more skilled offensively. Also, you negate one of their defender rebounder status by playing Bonner to draw them out of the paint. How do you think we held ZBo to 5 rebounds? If he's not near the paint, he can't grab the D board.
