Nothing New- Different Year, Same Questionable Decisions

That's my point. Amidst the speculation look at what is and has been actually happening and you will find the answer.

lol fkla just because you recently changed your tune doesn't mean you didn't speak of Ian like Malik.

Bottom line is the Spurs play it safe...

Maybe, maybe not. I rather think they suffer from hubris. Casually tossing away Scola is not a "safe," cautious move, but a very arrogant and reckless one. Same-same with so vigorously turning away from Spursball and adapting small ball instead.

I'm seeing more riverboat gambling and ego-based decisions than cautious moves.

You guys just don't watch what Tiago does during practices...

Look, at the beginning of this all I thought playing Blair/Bonner together was an absolute "no". That was because I underestimated Splitter. After seeing his potential upside, I now feel the benefits of playing him (starting him) alongside Tim outweighs the negatives of pairing Blair/Bonner together.

Manu off the bench when he returns to assist in the matter, start TP/Kawhi/RJ/Tiago/Tim.

Manu was the starting sg and mvp on last year's team. He's too good to not start.

The 07 le was our weakest. A solid showing for sure, but Dallas would have been tough and at the least was our toughest opponent we would have faced. les take some luck every year and the Dallas loss parted the sea for us. Is this debatable?

Back to Pop...I think we all assume he's acting like an idiot but no matter how much alcohol may have ravaged his brain he's still not dumb by any obvious measure. Instead, he's probably just a bitter insecure asshole at times, which really clouds his decision making.

In '07 Pop went back to using real bigs with Oberto. Oberto was important against the Jazz and Cavs.

I mentioned this in another thread, that Pop, imo, knows that benching Blair will probably mean losing whatever production Blair can provide. Pop seems to have faith that Splitter can produce, coming off the bench, and likes to have that secuirty blanket in Splitter, some what similar to having manu starring in his 6th man role.

It makes sense to bring someone of the bench who's good on offense but not defense. But for s.o. who's strength is defense it makes more sense to start. At the start of the game is really where you need your defense.

Duncan got old and Bowen was traded/retired. That is the single biggest reason the Spurs aren't the Spurs of old. So stop it. This is a team that when they win they do it with their offense and less with their defense.

I think someone needs to step up and take a stance against Pop.


If anyone watches House M.D. does Pop not remind you of House?

Theres so many similarites between the character and Pop. Its being replicated on tv screen into reality enacted by Pop.

House is usually right.

Yes sir.
