It's over now.

Regarding Manu coming off the bench ...

Allows Manu to be in the game and get more touches without Tony/Tim in with him.

Allows Manu to play against bench players (obvious Spurs advantage).

Allows Barry to get into rhthym.

I don't mind Manu coming off the bench and it seems to be working alright but why is it that he does it all the time near the end of the season. If your going to bench him why doesn't he do it from the start so that Manu can at least win 6th Man Of the Year Award every year and do all these things from the start. On the other hand I remember Manu saying one year that he didn't want to be known as a 6th Man even though he is so I guess he would hate that award .Oh well Manu's good to do it without complaining. Even Barkley and Charles Smith say he could be an All Star and starter for any other team.

[T Park]

White isn't ready. No kidding.

Im sure this is a fireable offense.

[T Park]

Even Barkley and Charles Smith say he could be an All Star and starter for any other team.

Kenny Smith?

He could be. Tony parker could be a 28 and 8 guy for other teams too as well.

Tim Duncan without Parker and Ginobili could prob average 30 a game.

It goes on and on

[ChumpDumper]

White isn't ready. No kidding.

I'm content with his practicing with the Spurs the rest of the season. The Toros may lose a few games because of it, but I want Justin Bowen to get as much playing time as possible. He's an interesting player who started to see more regular time once White was called up.

[Fabbs]

why would that be the case?

regardless, they'd want him to show his stuff. Plus even with Elson playing well, we still need help

Exactly. And he is "out of shape"? What is this, more Butler loafing around b.s.?

Go Pat Riley on their ass and deactivate them without pay till they are in shape.
How does an active NBA millionaire be allowed to be out of shape?
Enabler Pop.

[ChumpDumper]

You are blaming Pop for letting a guy get out of shape while he was a member of a different team?

[T Park]

More Fabbs brilliant logic.

And even if Pop could somehow control the conditioning level of players on other rosters, I'm not entirely sure what the complaint is -- the players who aren't in shape are being deactivated. It's not like an out-of-shape Jackie Butler is in uniform every night and has been putting in monster minutes. For now at least, it appears that Pop intends to deactivate Ely too. What's the problem?

[SsKSpurs21]

with the lack of rebounding being a concern...was there any mention of Jackie Butler and why he has not seen rotation minutes?

is he not developing like planned and is also on "the stephen jackson plan"?

Did you see the last time he played? Jacque Vaughn outrebounded him.

Wait til next season.

[gospursgojas]

What did he say about Tim Hardaway

[Budkin]

He said he guessed he was going to regret saying that.

Butler was signed by the Spurs what, 9 months ago? Yeah, i blame Pop and the Spurs for accepting him in camp as they did. Glad he is making progress.

As for newbie Ely, if he is benched due to being out of shape, sure i would say no pay while you are deFlabbing.

T_park yes, more time for Ely and Butler could mean less snuggle time for you Pop n Fins. Sorry.

[Kori Ellis]

What do you mean accepting him in camp as they did? He came to San Antonio and started working out with the Spurs shortly after he was signed. What's to blame Pop about?

As for newbie Ely, if he is benched due to being out of shape, sure i would say no pay while you are deFlabbing.

He's not fat like Butler was. Pop was just saying that he's not in game shape because he hasn't been playing in games. So they aren't going to throw him in for 20 minutes a night when he steps off the plane. He will work his way into game shape through a training regimen and then they'll see what he can bring.
