1. "until further notice" means until Parker is playing at a high level again.
2. Bowen is dirty, but Cuban's boys would be better suited to stop b1tching and fight fire with fire.
Tampa Dude... that "Almost Champs" dvd is the greatest thing I've seen all week!! Thanks for that. LOL

Look at Bruce just standing there looking at Terry - Not the least bit scared of him.
Bowen sucks on offense, but I will never say that he is not a smart defender. His ability to antagonize and control his emotions (duping the other player into a temper tantrum) rivals former Spur Dennis Rodman.
P.S.
We need Barry back and Manu off the bench, because I don't trust Stoudamire or Vaughn with big PG minutes in the playoffs. Manu or Barry need to bring the ball up.
Defend himself? All Terry does is throw cheap shots and then run and hide behind the skirts of refs and his teammates.
He's not defending himself, he's a pussy.
I'm still waiting on the evidence of Bowen's elbow.
Until then, Mavs fan should STFU and quit making up bull .
isn't gonna happen - just like it isn't gonna happen on evidence that Bruce intentionally slides his foot under an opponents foot. It's just easier to say a player is dirty and cheats than to admit your team got beat. Hopefully those teams believe the same way as their fans and focus more on how they were cheated than on how they got beat.
Yup.
Thats exactly right.
manu will remain as a starter until we lose one or two games....
Speaking of the Suns:
[ (Shaq) said the problems are on defense. "We have to have some urgency and stop some people," he said. "I'm fitting in. I'm swinging the ball to the top and I'm only taking four or five shots a game. I'm just rebounding and trying to fit in. But right now we just have to stop people." ]
Hey, Shaq, didn't you know the Suns don't play no DEEfense.![]()
Well, it is a pickle.![]()
But considering we're three up on the Mavs in the loss column,I'd say root for the Mavs.
youtube the elbow or it didn't happen
-Mars
I fail to see how sending tape to the NBA and whining like a to the league and media is "defending yourself". Manu takes cheap shots all the time but never says a word. Terry just isn't even close to being that tough.
Dallas owner Mark Cuban told reporters in Dallas that he had sent tape to the league offices.![]()
Let's not forget that Bowen has baited some of the better scorer's in this league: Vince Carter, Peja - even Finley back in his Mavs days.
Terry is just a punk-ass knucklehead, who tries to pass himself off as a bad-ass. Only thing is no one in the league is buying his act.
Should have freaking guess this was a CIA Pop move and Manu would go back to the bench the next game.
= 6th man of the year
It sounds like it's going to be permament again. Manu has been amazing since in the starting lineup lately. I kind of expect his game to come back down now being on the bench. I still hope Manu doesn't get the 6MOY award because it's kind of a stupid award in the first place. I hope they give it to Barbosa again or anybody else![]()
Manu would get that little trophy?
Spurs need Manu's scoring coming off the bench now. It looks like Pop's going with the Argentine duo as his first subs.
if manu's going to be coming off the bench, then duncan needs to step his scoring up.
lol...
tweedy bird is all
(and yea Bowen is standing all poised nonchalant)
Did someone say Manu would return to the bench in the next game in this thread? Oh yeah that was me.
I'm not surprised at Ginobili as 6th man again, but giving K. Thomas the start so soon is a little surprising. Not that I don't agree with the move, but Pop usually makes his guys earn it.
I've always been totally for Manu coming off the bench. One of the worst times for any basketball fan is when the starters go out for their rest and you have to watch the subs flail and fail to score. Manu changes the whole equation. As far as I can see, he plays the same amount of minutes as if he were starting, and he's still there in the last few minutes of the game when it really counts. What's the dif? It makes the team better.
That's the difference between the Spurs and the rest of the league. They're in it for the w's, not for individual stats or the distinction of being a "starter." Good enough for Pop, good enough for the Spurs players, good enough for rings on a fifth finger, and so damned well good enough for me!
Finally: I didn't expect it either, but I loved the move to get Thomas into the starting lineup. The more time he spends in the thick of things -- playing alongside Timmy, Tony, Bruce and either Manu or Fin -- the better off we'll be by the time the playoffs come around. Heck, it's only a few weeks away, and time's a'wasting. Plus, bringing Oberto off the bench with Manu so the two Argentines can rock 'n roll to their hearts' content makes all the sense in the world.
The Spurs have always been about cohesive team play, and so kudos to Pop for making the move right now while there's opportunity to turn regular season games into meaningful practices, yet still come away with the wins.
