No, I won't be this pissed. Provided the coach does an acceptable job and the players give an acceptable effort on the court.
I vaguely remember Tony Parker sitting on the bench for the majority of the NBA Finals for half of the Spurs championships. Bad example, chief.And we've seen over time that neither of those players ever comes up big when it really matters for the Spurs. I can definitely see your concern.
Cool sig, bro. I thought this was a basketball forum. Not nerd appreciation forum.
Oooh, nerd smack! You wound me!
All your self esteem are belong to me.
You certainly seem like you need it.
You're a .
Why, because I speak truths? Well, I suppose...
The Coyote is DEFINETLY a franchise mutt. No doubt about it. WINNER baby !!
It's early December. Pop didn't think Duncan was ready to play. Duncan didn't argue with Pop to try to get on the court.
You rest Duncan as long as he needs. Until Duncan is 95-100%, there is no need to bring him back.
First of all, I've never even seen you say anything about Bonner. Don't try to front like you some MBFFL or some ish.I love the Matt Bonner haters. He has a game Kevin Garnett would aspire to have... and yet, people still manage to complain about something he does wrong. Excellent. Maybe it's because he has red hair? I don't know. What I do know is that I was right about him. I was particularly right about him being 10x better than Horry. Last night only confirms that. Yeah, you really believe Horry could put up 25 and 17, on 3-4 from 3? Riiight.Oh wait, Horry can block a shot every now and then! He's clearly more valuable to the team than Bonner!
Second of all, I've liked Bonner before you knew who he was but he's not more valuable to this team than Horry. Horry is still the better defender and still understands understands the offense better than any other big on this team outside of Duncan. Bonner has started to play better as of late but he's not to the point where he's going to play Horry's minutes in the playoffs.
Ripping Manu after two great games when he has his first bad game of the season is lame. If he has one bad game for every 20 good games, he's playing better than 98% of the NBA.
Thank Got.
I could respond with something funny to that, but the Mods will just edit it again.
I'm glad Duncan is still sitting. He shouldn't push himself for the regular season too much. I'd feel pretty good if he waited until next week to return to the lineup.
You don't need the mods to make yourself look like an idiot.
Didn't Duncan play like crap earlier this year vs. the Lakers? Parker and Ginobili saved his ass, didn't they?
And what if the coach is experimenting, knowing that his team will face some different cir stances over the course of a long playoff run and will have to adapt to those cir stances. Experimenting during the regular season, even at the cost of losing games, has never worked out for Popovich. You know, Pop's famous "win 'em all at all costs" strategy is really his hallmark.
As to the players -- meh, they gave a bad effort last night; on the whole they give a great effort far more often than most NBA teams do over the course of a long season. These guys fight much bigger battles than a mid-December game in Oakland. Talk to me when the effort isn't there as we get closer to the playoffs.
Well, I vividly remember Tony Parker hoisting an MVP trophy during the Spurs most recent championship. I also remember him playing 38 mpg against the Pistons in 2005 and 37 mpg against Cleveland in 2007, leaving very little time for him to be "sitting on the bench" in either of those series. Since the Spurs have won 4 les, and Parker has played an overwhelming fraction of the minutes played during 2 of those le runs, I'm thinking its your retort, not my example, that needs fixin'.
spurfans lose their minds after a regular season loss.
So in other words, you want Duncan to sit until January 13th, if need be. I agree completely.
I've frequently bashed Horry in favor of Bonner.First of all, I've never even seen you say anything about Bonner. Don't try to front like you some MBFFL or some ish.
Unless you liked him when he played at Florida, then you're wrong in your assumption.Second of all, I've liked Bonner before you knew who he was
His understanding of the game doesn't stop him from shooting 30%. If I have Duncan on the floor controlling the inside on D, I want somebody that can actually make shots with Duncan on offense. I guess you're not a big fan of logic.Horry is still the better defender and still understands understands the offense better than any other big on this team outside of Duncan. Bonner has started to play better as of late but he's not to the point where he's going to play Horry's minutes in the playoffs.
Great games? Well, he scored 37 in that previous game, but he shot horribly. Most NBA players can score if they're given a ton of opportunities. Depends what you consider a great game.Ripping Manu after two great games when he has his first bad game of the season is lame. If he has one bad game for every 20 good games, he's playing better than 98% of the NBA.
Those aren't really Spurs fans.
If I remember correctly, he shot badly but still impacted the game, something Parker and Ginobili typically don't do when they aren't scoring.
imagine a playoff loss
"TheAuthority" didn't have a mind to lose when he got here.
Oh, wait...I see what you did there.
Wow, good one, bro. I bet that took a lot of use out of that great mind of your's. You really showed me!
