    Splitter should start next game. If Blair can play with Duncan then Splitter can too. He spaces the floor about as well as Blair...

    WHich is nothing more than a bull excuse to justify his own stubborness. What good does is it to have a player with "corporate knoledge", if he skill-set is so limited, such that he gets his as waxed on both ends of the floor? Knowing the system is one thing, implementing is another.

    It's not fair to Matty and DB.

    If Pop plays Splitter over both, Matty and DB would be very upset at their demotion.

    It's just not fair to upset those two, one can spread the floor and the other one is too immature to handle the truth.

    Both of these are on point!! The workload TD has to carry in the post is just too much for him at his age. This is where the Spurs (Gregg Popovich) has failed him the most. Once David Robinson declined to the point of no longer being an All-Star, they started depending on Tim too much. His knees wouldn't be in the shape they are in if he had more help before now.

    Well, just to add one more comment to this mess I can safely assume at this point that this game (and series) will only be won by proper coaching. Hopefully Manu can lend a hand but I trust Pop's judgement above all - obviously he needs to stop micromanaging this team to the smallest detail.

    What's the downside of us having more length and defense in the rotation?
    Here's an example of Pop's logic....

    If Pop was coaching the grizz and had Randolph and Gasol ....and the Spurs countered with Bonner for 25 minutes to spread the floor....

    Pop would have benched one of his bigs to "match-up" with the spurs using Bonner....

    He would have gone small and lost his "big" advantage....

    Spurs playing hard and overall well but hard to get separation from taller Grizz - gee go figure a potential solution but alas not happening. Spurs may win game and even series but this shortsighted B.S. is killing my enthusiasm to watch but like many Spurs fans we maintain hope.

    It's like 5 on 4 when Bonner on the floor. I wouldn't be surprised if the Spurs got swept.

    Fortunetely the Spurs have a lot of talent and heart still and are trying to make up for Pop's B.S.

    Tiago can't get off the pine while Blair and Bonner get destroyed, but Danny Green is in at the end of the game
