Duncan needs to take matters into his own hands, like every other player of his stature. He should have got up and went to the scorers table when it was slipping away late in the 1st half.
this coach. This dumb ass gambled and lost and has now set his team up to be 8th and face a team he admitted they wanted to hide from. So what does he tell the team before they go out there for game one?
Well, congrats on reaching your season's goal, when is the Parade?
No he didnīt, he just canīt be George Hill.
Still Temple is finishing the game with +10. And Parker with -16.
From these last games i think we all agree that he could not make this team work as good as Hill, nor ofensively or defensively.
Pop's rotations are killer.
We had such a delicate balance going with our chemistry all it took is a slight change with Hill getting injured and that chemistry is shot. Even though we get an All-Star back I just think that balance is not there anymore.
Pop has also shot his team by saying that we want no part of the lakers. Funny how we started playing like after Pop announced after that Lakers game where we don't want the Lakers in round 1. He's not giving his team much confidence at all with those kinds of comments. This team is fragile and guys like RJ, Bonner don't need to hear this.
I think the delicate balance though is the main reason for our struggles.
DEFINITELY NOT ON TP at all.
Calm down, es. It's only April 9th.
We need Hill back and we need to get back to our old rotation pretty quick. Subs ute Parker for Mason and off we go. Right now the team is playing with no defensive intensity.
I think Dice and RJ thought that with Tony back and against Memphis we could just throw our jocks out there and win. Maybe against some teams we could, but the Grizzlies came to play.
Then again, Pop thought we could just around and win too, with those idiotic rotations.
Now of all times to fall in love with Temple? It seems like he'll play anyone but Hairston.
What happened to The Centerpiece?
I hate Mason. He should never ever play. Aaaaargh.
Why cant we just have a decent rotation? Why the are we playing d league guys in crunch time at this pt of the season??????
Rest everyone now and get ready for playoffs.
Congrats. And do us a favor and beat Portland.
Congrats to Dallas fans if you have it locked up now.
You won it fair and square. It's all on the Spurs for not challenging for it. No foul play, just bad play from the Spurs.
we needed just a few stops.... there's where you miss GH3
Our two new frontline players McDyess and Jefferson gave us nothing from the 2nd quarter on.
No that's not quite right. Jefferson missed every shot he took in the 2nd half and made a lot of unforced errors. McDyess simply disaappeared.
We aren't going anywhere with these guys. Too inconsistent and questionable skills.
I hate to break this to you, but that is not going to matter at this point and might do more harm than good.
Basically the crunch time formula is NO BONNER, NO MASON JR., NO RJ.
Those guys have low BBall IQs.
It's time to make a decision, no more of this in between . Either run the key players into the ground in hopes of avoiding the eighth seed or don't play them entirely. The worst case scenario is the one Pop has probably doomed the Spurs to: key players not getting rest AND the eighth seed.
Since I don't think he'll rest the key players entirely, then start playing a playoff rotation, not a preseason one. Start Parker and play the starters extended minutes. No more minutes for Mason, Hairston or Mahinmi. Temple can play sparingly until Hill returns.
No ing doubt. Barring a miraculous choke by Portland or Oklahoma City, they are locked into the eight seed. Might as well lie back and enjoy it.
I don't understand. If you don't care about the result of this game, why would you play Manu 30+ minutes?
Yep. I really think this team had such delicate chemistry going and him going out HURT us a lot.
Too many fragile players on the team. Temple seems tougher than a lot of these so called NBA veterans, which is sad.
RJ needs more than a couple of things from the Wizard of OZ.
Who would of thunk how important Hill would end up being to this team.
Having said all that KEEP PLAYING and finish the season off. Don't worry about resting players. Play hard and play to win tomorrow in Denver.
Pop needs to rest his mind for the PO also.
Yeah, that's a little strange, isn't? Especially since Manu's the one that has been playing 35 minutes/game lately, with a history of poor endurance.
