I didn't want to admit it then but

GS beat Dallas twice. When Dirk scored 50 and GS won Mavs had no Harris or Howard. GS did beat Dallas with small ball using Murphy as their primary big..

Actually it was 3 times...GS owned us this year and if we met them in the playoffs we might of lost the series(though we did have players out each time we met them).

Some of you don't get it. We didn't match up. You can conjecture all you want, but if you think that Nazr Mohammed could stop my grandmother from making a layup, let alone defend Dirk AND stop my grandmother, you're imbibing magic mushrooms.

I get it POP doesn't get it and neither do you, why did our bigs play during the regular season against the MAVS and how did we do all we did was drop to their level and got burned!!!

You do realize that we split 2-2 and they blew us out once. We didn't exactlly dominate with the Nazr-nator manning the post.

Good to see we have all this coaching talent waiting in the wings for when Pop retires. Looks like we can even upgrade from Pop.

It doesnt take a genius to figure this one out Einstein and the 2 and 2 record shows that the bigs can play if it would have been a sweep then I and many would understand.

Going to small ball was the right choice, we just didn't have the personnel to run it properly. If pop is to blame it's for not getting that damn long 3 we've been needing for years, it's just this year it really hurt us not having that kind of guy on our team.

Playoffs are about match ups and we didn't match up well, but our heart and leadership carried us to overtime in game 7. Nazr and Rasho would have been no help, they can't guard Dirk and with them on the floor Tim would have to guard Dirk and you better believe Avery would have set up play after play having Dirk attacking Tim until he fouled out.

Griffin started for them in the regular season. Taking him out of the lineup changed the entire dynamic of the series.

griffin was a mid season pick up I think,I could be wrong but I think he was,anyways second guessing is always easier after the fact and I think things would have been different

You might want to factor in that the last three games that Dallas and SA played in the regular season Dallas either didn't have Harris or Howard available. The first one where both were available Spurs got blown out with Horry, Rasho and Nazr playing a totla of 42 minutes.

[redskinfan]

I know Howard missed 1 of the games and Harris missed 2 I believe did we have any missing pieces during those games ie;ginobili or horry etc.

He was picked up in November, and started 45 games for them, including the 3/2 game that the Spurs won. He was injured for the 4/7 game that the Mavs won.

Howard only missed one of the games as did Ginobili and Horry

[picnroll]

Howard missed one, Harris missed two. Last three games they couldn't put Terry, Harris and Howard on the floor together against the Spurs.

Avery outcoached POP big time after seeing Avery go to Diop and Dirk together even though the Suns were small made a big difference he was able to defend the basket and get key rebounds. I wonder what a Rasho or Nazr might have done?

Well, they probably would done great...........AGAINST THE SUNS.....

Problem was.....we weren't playing the Suns.

[SAGambler]

Sorry about that loss to Dallas. You guys deserved the le the most (besides the Heat). I was looking forward to the Heat facing you guys in the finals. The Spurs had a great run and had a tough break. Just so you know, the Heat will take down the Pistons this year.

Well, it's certainly looking that way...

I've said for the last three months that Detroit is not as good as everyone was giving them credit for being. You could see after the ASB that Detroit was just another good team. Then when the Cavs took them to seven, I suspected Miami was going to take them to the clearners.

I look for Miami to close this thing out Wednesday night. Detroit has no answers for Shaq and DWade...
