    Teams don't win championships playing small ball. If that's all Pop has, then this team simply doesn't have the guns to get it done.


    Exactly....That's why if the Mavs advance they'll get in handed to them with the bigs of Detroit.

    He's talking a little about officiating. Saying that they can't control that and that they need to concentrate on what they can control (good defense, rebounding, etc).

    Basically he's saying Dallas got it done and the Spurs didn't.
    That pretty much Pop.

    "I don't care about things I can't control"

    I love it.

    You've got to respect a guy who declines the chance to get in a pissing match with Cuban or the refs. Still don't understand why he doesn't give Rasho a chance-- , even 5 minutes out there--to see what he can do, and if it throws the Mavs off their game plan a little.

    Walton, no he wasn't. Tim hadn't been in the league long enough to ge that honor back in the 90s. Matter of fact I think Robinson getting that honor was either a year before Tim got to San Antonio or a year afterwards. I'd have to check but I know for certain Tim was never named to to that list.

    As a matte of fact: http://www.nba.com/history/50greatest.html

    That's the story from the NBA. You want to still say Tim was one of the 50 greatest?

    I think Detroit would win that series handily... but the Mavs are more the way the Spurs were last year, versatile enough to switch styles. A Detroit-Dallas series would be in the 90s.

    AJ migrated them to a conventional lineup this year.

    I've got a feeling that in private Pop reamed Bavetta a new asshole.

    This is the most candid talk about officiating that I've heard from the Spurs. Usually, Coach Pop changes the subject or doesn't even acknowledge the question. For him to talk as much as he did shows how frustrated they are with something that is totally out of their control.

    I especially liked how he mentioned that the Mavs didn't make a shot late in the 4th quarter of game 3, yet they got 11 freethrows! He said that was especially frustrating for his guys.

    Now they are asking him about the makeup call after the Spurs got that call in their favor (when the ball didn't hit rim).

    He couldn't really comment.
    That has got to be my biggest pet peeve of the NBA officiating. Refs feel they have to cover up a blown call with another makeup bogus call.

    I was thinking the same thing. But I don't know if anyone will take Rasho's contract.

    to that point do you remember Pop calling Walter a homer for asking about officiating against SAC. Even against the Lakers Pop never once said anything about the refs.

    This coaching staff is to professional for that. If Pop said that they didn't talk about it much, you can bet your rent money that it wasn't discussed much. if it were, then they would have sent a tape in to the league. And they don't need to do that. There are eight group supervisors watching these games in New York so I'm sure somebody will get their ass chewed out for bad calls.

    Okay for the umpteenth time. Dallas puts their big and lessor players (Griffin) on the weakside of the ball. The Spurs need to attack that side of the floor more often, running pick and rolls, screens, etc and have Tim drive on that side more. They did it some in the game.
    Someone is drunk off they azz. Don't blame you.

    Check how many minutes Griffin played in the last two games.

    No he wasn't.

    That "Top 50" list was made in 1996 and Tim was NOT on it.

    Yeah, I'm sure the NBA is all torn up about it.

    Unfortunitly the only way i see rasho traded is if we trade someone rights or take an even bigger and longer contract back in exchange.
