God I hate seeing that clueless stiff in a Spurs' uniform.
What makes you think George wouldn't do good? He was a reason we won that game in Dallas during the regular season with his play at the end of the 3rd quarter.
Pop has no clue what he is doing. His in game adjustments suck.

Ghill might be in offensive sets, but give the kid the defensive role and he on them...
GHILL is the bread and butter of this team, yeh you heard it here....dont tell me it aint butter
Drew Gooden said he's played his best basketball on the Spurs when Tim Duncan is on the floor with him. He said he's very comfortable with Tim out there and thinks he can read him well. He said when anyone plays with Tim they are a lot better for it. I guess he forgot about Bonner?
Is Gooden pushing to start or get more court time?

Pop will probably give Tony more rest the next game by playing more Mason at the backup spot. I wrote earlier that it takes Pop 2 games to make adjustments - not one game, or half a game. I'm still not expecting any Hill yet. Gooden might get more burn, so there's hope for that.
With all this Hill love, I can't tell if people want him to play because they think it's the smart play, or because they think he will guarantee a win? He should play, but he alone is not going to guarantee a win.
who cares if he cant bring the ball up or set up plays, we need him on the court to lock down the opposing teams backup or starting PG when parker is out resting.....
problems solved.
+1
If you had said Fabs off the bench I would have been there with you. No Bonner. Period.
There we go.gooden/duncan together. bonner selling popcorn, hill back up point.
Too easy of an adjustment for Pop, so unfortunately, he won't do it.
The way the PG position was played yesterday (Mason) and how tired Parker looked, you would think Pop would have put in Hill to cover the Puerto Rican smurf. Pop could have at least seen what type of an effect putting Hill on Barea would have had. Parker has carried this team for awhile now and covering Barea and then having to make something happen on offense was physically draining for Parker, and by the end of the 4th he looked spent.
Pop keeps making the same mistakes on PG and playing Bonner over and over again. When Gooden made that dunk in the 3rd, all the fans were going crazy, and at least he was producing offensively. He was being physical. By the end of the 3rd we were tied and Pop takes Gooden out for the rest of the game-WTF? Bonner was useless defensively and offensively. I thought players had to prove themselves to Pop and actually contribute before getting substantial minutes. I guess Pop makes exceptions for Bonner.
If Pop sticks to his stale line-ups, then we can all kiss the first round goodbye.
Pop and his blind love for Bonner makes me
gooden is a great addition to your team.
my team needs to give more minutes to bass.
Bonner should get about 10 minutes a game, and take two or three 3's, cause that is all he can do. Gooden should play more and there is no reason not to play Hill.
We may only have 3 games left in the season...Pop needs to quit being stubborn.
ian should take bonner place in the rotation, he can't be worse.
It's this simple:
Cut Bonner's minutes in half, or even more than that, and give them to Gooden.
DO NOT let Mason run the point at all, unless it's for some special play where he needs to handle the ball. Let Hill run the point. , let Hill play, period.
Start KT in place of Bonner, and have Bonner come off the bench.
when we got Gooden i thought the most logical thing was to go to the "Twin Towers redux" and yet they've had maybe less than 20 minutes on the court together all year.
I don't understand Pop right now. last night's game was as much on Bonner as it was on Pop. he needs to get his head outta his ass and start setting up the team for success throughout the damn game, not just one stretch run.
c'mon Pop.
Ice, I am so depressed. Pop will not make the adjustment, and I think we all know that. Many of us have watched Bonner's decline the last 15-20 games or so (about when Gooden came to the Spurs) and Pop has never adjusted. He keeps playing Bonner even when Bonner is not producing for us offensively and is a defensive liabilty.
We have seen how uncomfortable Mason looks as the back up PG and we have seen how awesome he can be when left to play his natural position. Pop sees this too, and Pop doesn't give a . He's too stubborn to make those adjustments. Just watch Bonner start next game and get a substantiual amount of minutes again.
It's too simple of a solution, which is why Pop likely will not make the change.
i can see pop benching bonner
and going small ball with Fin at PF.
Bonner should just come into the game when we are in droughts. He is no less than the scrub this year then last year, this year he just has a bigger role. If Bonner continues to start then we can wish our playoff hopes good bye and lets go fishing.
Defense.
i have zero faith in pop.
yeah pretty much...someone needs to make a sign for the game
Did you see Pops reaction? Explained all of our profound feeling for his play as an whole.
I say bench Bonner and put Vaughn on Barea. On offense, whoever is guarding vaugh will end up double teaming Tim in the low post, Barea will endup doing it most of time since Vaugh can't shoot jumpers. I think Tim can manage whoever is guarding him + Barea. Let's go Spurs!!
