Official: start Tony, Manu, Bruce, Drew and Tim thread

[mrose31]

I think we should start

Parker
Mason
Bowen
Duncan
Thomas

Pop really needs to play Bowen, Hill, and Thomas more. Play Finley, Bonner and Udoka a lot less. Hill or Vaughn need to play pg instead of Mason. Mason is not as good ball handler or passer he seems to be a selfish pg just looking for his shot and he is terrible at driving to basket. Finley is on fire or can't hit anything and you can tell in his first 2 shots. I say if Finley misses his first 2 shots put him on the bench unless we need free throw shooter. Oh and hill needs to be more aggressive at driving to basket and not just watch manu.

I'd play an injured Mahinmi at PG instead of Vaughn.

I prefer to play Mason as backup PG rather than Vaughn

Fixed it for ya...

[Duncan2177]

[Thomas82]

+1

[DarrinS]

More minutes for Bruce please.

[DAF86]

One down, two more to go

[crc21209]

Let's get Bruce back in there!

[Baseline]

the biggest problem we've had all year is easily solved by playing Bowen his normal minutes.

Why is this obvious to everybody but Pop?

I can only hope that he's waiting until the playoffs to bust out the old Spurs defense. I wish I had more faith in him. the whole "Trust in Pop" thing is not getting it done for me this year. Scrubs like Udoka and Hairston are getting minutes, while Bruce rusts on the bench. It makes no sense.

We all know Bruce is rested, so let's hope he's sharp. We're going to need him badly beginning in Round 1.

[DAF86]

On a side note: What does Finley need to do to be benched by Pop?

What's his hidden atribute that only Pop sees? I'm thinking defense rotations or something like that.

[DAF86]

Start Gooden and Bowen.
