1st year Spurs who contributed to Champioship

Game, set, match, Mr. whottt.

Thanks,

Premature exhiliriation for whott and Sugar.

I made this thread in response to a seperate boardie who was honking Pops being soooo smart for sitting everyone "like he always does till their second year so they can learn the D system." Sure it's helped some like SJack and Bowen, but don't even make it a requirement.

So Tony Mass was in his 1st year of Pops system.
And he, like the others, contributed to a Championship without fully knowing the system.

Aron Baynes?

Or will we be seeing more Matty Bonner in playoff fail?

Francisco Elson was a beast.





And who could forget "Party like a rockstar?"

I miss the Pop who used to play guys in their first year.

Lay off the liquor, bro.

You forgot Stephen Jackson

2003

wake up. we had prime TD then big 3 in their primes back then. You could plug in pretty much any scrub and end up with the same result. (Ginobili the exception to this)

nowadays we have no prime TD and no more big 3. So there is no more luxury of plugging guys in.

ahh the good ol days, the good ol days

I do agree Pop is way too rigid. I mean how many ing times is he going to keep trotting out Bonner out there and expect different results?

Stephen Jackson was already a Spurs player in 2001-2002.

Was GNob a big 3 or an "exceptional scrub" to you?

Popped not only had the Prime Big 3 he had some of the best rolies ever. Bob Horry hands down. Bruce Bowen.

Could you get Chump, schtikkk and TPark to whisper that in Pops ears while they are oiling up Pop-n-Bonbon?

Francisco Elson was a beast.
YouTubes of Frankie providing interior TallBalls D, swatting a shot away.

Nicely done.
Oh the days when this coach valued interior D.
