This Loss Is On Pop

**Kori Ellis** · 06-22-2005

I knew that there would be threads of blame tonight, all in the wrong areas. And Spurs fans really just need to

and admit that the Pistons just outplayed the Spurs. It happens sometimes.

Game Seven is going to be sweet. It is what sports dreams are made of.

**BadlyDrawnBoy** · 06-22-2005

It's Pops fault that the Spurs can't get a single rebound on the defensive end in the last 2 minutes.

It's his fault the Spurs didn't rotate and cover the three point shooter or the very least body them up so they had to drive.

It's Pop's fault Tim can't make two freethrows in a row but once a game.

It's Pop's fault that Manu turnred the ball over every time he drove to the basket within the last minute and a half.

It's Pop's fault Tim missed two easy put backs within the last minute of the game.

It's all his fault.

Hey Kori, since T Park has said he'll stop posting here for a year when the Spurs win the le, why not ban his IP so he can't post under other names.

Come on, ppplllllease!

Why should I ban him? I'd be more apt to ban you.

**T Park** · 06-22-2005

haha......

Back on topic.

Once again.

Can I ask, why also, could Glenn Robinson not played??

He wouldn't have neutralized Tayshaun Prince like in game 1, nahhhhhh....

That's not nice.

You gotta make him a man of his word.

But I guess since Barry is now just a shot chucker who doesn't care if it's a good shot or not people will probably like him better now...I personally didn't like it...

I don't want see Brent Barry trying to be the leading scorer, Barry is not a star type player..he's a sidekick a very smart and good sidekick..but he's a sidekick...the guy is a 10 PPG scorer on about 6-7 shots per game for his entire career....he's not ing Vinny Johnson.

If you just want some guy out there chucking it up nearly every time he touches it...I rather see Devin...he's better at it.

And he probably could have made an impact in this game...the guy is from San Antonio and he's been dreaming of it his whole life...a 5 minute stint for Devin to see what he had tonight in this close game, would not have hurt anyone.

I have no idea why Pop left him on the bench seeing as how our entire starting roster logged about 40 minutes each in the last game a day or so ago...

We have a deeper bench than Detroit and tonight we didn't use that to our advantage..

A lot of people claim on the forum everyday. If he wants to keep posting, we are more than glad to have him post.

**T Park** · 06-22-2005

So Barry gets more shots, and more time, and WHottt thinks its a bad thing....

Am I not the only one confused?

**BadlyDrawnBoy** · 06-22-2005

Prince has pretty much neutralized himself in this series.

And yeah, Big Dog sure did the deed in game one. Playing six minutes and helping hold Prince to 11 points in 32 minutes.

What did Prince have tonight without Big Dog in the game, like 33 or 34 points, right? Or wait, 13 points in 44 minutes.

Prince didn't beat us tonight, nor did he even hurt us in terms of offense.

**T Park** · 06-22-2005

No, those offensive rebounds he got, nor the easy baskets didnt hurt what so ever.

good god.....

**E20** · 06-22-2005

The real reason we lost is we didn't play defense that well and didn't rebound nor we could we match the Pistons energy. , comeone everybody made stupid plays. Manu did some pretty stupid things, so did Duncan, so did Tony, so did Nazr, so did Barry, so did Horry. Oh yeah and Manu didn't almost outrebound Timmy, he wasn't even close.

He had two more rebounds in game 1 than tonight.

And , put Brown in the game if you want rebounds. Dude gets 5 times higher in the air than Robinson.

**T Park** · 06-22-2005

put Brown in the game if you want rebounds

But, you said he wouldn't have made a difference....

If your telling me the Piston's second chance points didn't kill em, your wrong.

How many times did they get second chances in the 4th and 2nd half???

Whatever.

You are more than welcome to do that. The beers are still here. But please arrive at my house before 6pm on Thursday when I leave for the game because I don't want to worry about getting the key to you.

**E20** · 06-22-2005

BadlyDrawnBoy, you gotta quit trying to egg Kori on TPark. Him and her are like when people cross there fingers and say they're like this. He was one of the first on FullSportsPress and they do Spurs RoundTable and are pretty good friends. So you trying to egg Kori on Tpark........not gonna happen.

Why are you confused?

I like his normal game, of playing off of players...I don't like it when he tries to be something he's not...He was probably doing wha the Spurs wanted him to do...but I think he knew more about offense that our offensive coaches do to begin with....he tried to be what they wanted him to be instead of what he is. I think he finally became it tonight.

It'd be one thing if he was being left open...but he wasn't, he was being pressured and he was still shooting threes, something he's been good at not doing all season...Detroit wasn't letting him shoot threes...that's why you saw him put it on the floor and take it to the hoop so often.

Detroit was definitely playing to stop the three tonight...can you blame them after the last game?

The middle was there more tonight...so IMO tonight is definitely not a night you want to see Barry taking a lot of shots. Going to the middle was fine...but it's not as good as Manu, Duncan and Parker doing it. It's not as good as Devin doing it.

Figure it out man...Barry can normally go scoreless or score 3 - 6 points a game...but we still average over 100 PPG when he gets 20+ or so minutes..he doesn't have to score to be effective, he can be effective just by playing smart and being the threat of the 17th best 3 point shooter in NBA history...and he's more effective when he doesn't try to be a scorer because it's not what he is.

I could never figure out why you guys worry so much about his PPG totals when basically we average 101 PPG when he is on the court for 25 minutes...regardless of what he scores.

Brown wouldn't have. I didn't say he would. I said he'd be a better option for rebounds than Big Dog.

Neither would have.

But hindsight for you is 20/20, huh.
