Walton weighs in- you knew it was coming

[Dre_7]

What has he done lately to warrant it exactly??

Waiting for an answer, and dont give me "Well last year in the playoffs"

Last year was last year.

I wish he would get a chance to show someting. But Unfortunately, its hard to get into any kinda of rhythm with sporatic minutes. Im sick of him getting 5,6,7 minutes a night, with a 10-15 minute night on rare occasions.

Maybe if he was given minutes, he would preform like he did last year. Remember, he didnt do much before Rashos injury, cuz he didnt have time. But than, Rasho gets hurt, Nazr gets minutes by necessity, and BOOM! He has a great end of season and playoffs.

The season is over. Here come the Mavs. Kiss home court good bye. Amare will be back. The sky is falling, the sky is falling!

Last night’s post game comments from Gregg Popovich were long overdue in my opinion. Its high time Pop starts ripping into these primadonnas. I don't care if it's only January- this team has shown absolutely ZERO mental toughness and looks like the furthest thing from a champion. People like Sean Elliott have been saying since October things like "just wait till this team comes together" etc, etc. It's midway through he season already and we're in a dogfight for the Midwest Division le and do not have home court over the Pistons. That is the reality. We’ve got the deepest, most talented Spurs team in franchsie history and we’re struggling to beat the Nets? Champions don't squeak by inferior opponents- they dismantle them. Watch the New England Patriots. Michael Finley, Nick Van Exel and Brent Barry have been about as collectively effective as a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest. Are these guys ever going to be on the same page? How many more wide open shots can you miss? Tony Parker seems more intent on making the all-star team with his 20 PPG avg. than making his teammates better. Memo to Tony- your assist totals should be higher than your turnover totals. You're not a clutch player, will never be a clutch player, stand aside and watch Ginobili make the big shots please and stop embarrassing yourself against top notch compe ion. He's been thoroughly dominated down the stretch of the last two games by Steve Nash and Jason Kidd. Our rebounding has been suspect, to say the least. We're giving up a ridiculous amount of offensive rebounds on a nightly basis- teams are simply not afraid anymore to challenge our bigs- this is a concern. We need to instill some fear in the opponent, not hope.

I think it's time for Gregg Popovich to establish a rotation and stick with it. I truly believe that Nazr Mohammed should be our starting center. He's not going to get better playing 7 minutes a night. Rasho Nesterovic cannot be effective against a tough, physical team, which is what the playoffs are all about- that has been proven time and time again. Manu Ginobili needs to be a starter again- the Michael Finley experiment has been a failure. Finley has been invisible for the past two weeks. As far as Van Exel goes, I'm still waiting for something- anything. Right now, he's less efficient than Beno Udrih was for us a year ago.

The Pistons come to town tomorrow night in the biggest game of the season. If the Spurs roll over and die like they did in Detroit on Christmas Day, then it's time for a wakeup call.............Peter Holt, you listening?

Well said. I too agree that the Spurs are playing without energy except for a few players. Everyone keeps saying that the Spurs are so deep--one of the deepest teams in recent history. If they are so deep, why do they have to relegate a starting Allstar to bail them out from the bench?
Start the same 5 from last year. Get serious about each game. Home court advantage is important, and you get home court advantage by being focused, as our arch enemies the Pistons appear to be.

Uh, Jason Kidd was 1-5 with 3 turnovers and one assist in the Fourth Quarter.

Worst take ever.

Somebody got OWNED

Has there ever been a post more bang on? I hate to toot my own horn but this should be printed up and hung in the Spurs lockerroom.
