Spurs are trash and last years finals was a fluke.SAS got all the calls to go their way and Cleveland just wasn't making the shots they normally make.

I also think it's time for Pop to do a lineup change. Whether it's inserting Ginobili back in the starting lineup, or replacing Finley with Barry, it's obvous the Spurs need to do something with it.

A lineup change could shake things up and force other players to step up. Although if we move Manu back into the starting lineup, then our bench will have to produce. Aside from Manu, the bench is not provided much support.

Spurs seem to lack that annual mid-season energy boost. Call me crazy, but perhaps Pop should have took the Joe Dumars approach. The Pistons have built a very strong bench behind their veteran group of starters. They are force feeding them minutes and developing them on the fly. Their starters are getting rest, while the newbies are gaining valuable, in-game experience.

The Spurs ARE the oldest team in the league and it's shows up during these "dog days" of the season. Maybe they should have brought Ian, D-Wash and Marcus into the fold sooner and taken the same approach.

Im not neccessarily in disagreement, but I'd go with Pop before Joe.

He did hire Flip Saunders as his head coach. Really, I think I need to say more.

EDIT: Kings just put 100 on the Pistons for the win.

cavs are ranked liked 25th in FG% which tells us that they don't normally make shots anyway.
