Game Blog: Spurs vs Hawks - Jan 27

[Allanon]

Looks like the Hawks have run out of gas after all the effort in coming back.

TD making his FT's

If Bonner passes up open 3s, Pop benches him. Simple as that. It's something that Pop and Matt have both said to the media directly.

That said, if he's cold on any given night, you pull him out. That's kind of the beauty of relatively streaky shooters- if they're having an off night, you're under no obligation to play them more than 10 minutes.

Between the cold shooting and McDyess's play in this game, Pop made the right call in putting Dice back out there. Pop gave Bonner a chance, and when it wasn't there, he pulled him out at the first opportunity. Props to Pop for not waiting 4 minutes longer.

btw, RJ has actually been solid defensively tonight..all about effort..

No player should get three, 3 point shots in a row. I know Bonner makes them but 3 in a row? Run the offense, don't just jack up every open shot.

Lakers do this too (Farmar, Vujacic), that's why they give up big leads.

I think Bonner threw up that last one just cause he knew he was coming out. I completely agree, dont just chuck those shots Bonner.

Noticed that too. RJ seems like a morale guy, if the teams playing well he tends to play well.

[Spurs Brazil]

RJ IQ is very low.

That's a stupid player

[Ice009]

RJ is a re jacking up jumper after jumper.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

WTF Tim? Why kick that out? You were 2ft from the hole!

[TJastal]

I don't trust Bonner at all after this game. Put him on the trading block

[rayray2k8]

I can't wait to have Fin back... I can't believe i just said that.

[alchemist]

turrrrble RJ, just turrrrrble

[pawe]

So you want to trade everyone, because the entire team has been doing it all half.

No, I want that lazy to be traded because he's been doin that all year when he's so supposed to be the slasher the team traded for.

[TampaDude]

23 boards for Timmy so far...only 2 shy of his career high!

[ElNono]

For the love of god Richard... Pull the ball out and run the clock.. Enough with the clunkers

[Chieflion]

Duncan, just grab 3 more rebounds to get a career high. Go Timmy.

[MateoNeygro]

I am really really starting to hate Jefferson. Damn man take it to the hoop for once. His jumpshot sucks so bad

[Crookshanks]

Spurs looking much better now - and the Hawks are missing a lot of easy shots. Yay!

This. All good looks. All within the offense. You can't hope to get better looks. You have to take the good ones when you get them.

Money!!
