What he did with Matt Bonner was lunacy.
IN LUNACY
We go big for most of the game. We give up mad offensive rebounds in the second half. We get into a hole. Pop's solution is to go small. We give up offensive rebounds at an accelerated rate.
I am seriously starting to think that Pop has become a meth or crack addict. There is something wrong with his judgment that has become a detriment to this team.

Definition of insanity = doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results...

The Bonner thing has a logic behind it: hope for those threes to sink so we keep the lane open for Parker's penetration.
What he did by going small in desperation time, has no logic whatsoever.
Poopavitch is a ing IDIOT! Fire his ass now!! Bring in Avery! Please!
Bonner wasn't helping to spread the floor and he's a huge liability on defense and on the boards(both ends).
I love Matt Bonner. I was simply ing amazed he was on the court in the 2nd half. There was simply no reason for it, and that Pop stuck with it was one of many decisions he made that dumbfounded me.
Pop upcoming postgame quote: "Matt had a fine game. They just made more shots."
Don't get me wrong--I almost puked blood when I saw Bonner starting in the 3rd quarter. But whether you agree with it or not, there ISa logic behind keeping Bonner in the game.
Going small after getting down in a game that you are down in because of giving up offensive rebounds, will never have any logic whatsoever. Pop did this with plenty of time left to make a run. And we gave up offensive rebounds like every other play after it.
Spurs becoming more and more a mediocre team and begin to come up with excuses and what if scenarios.....what I disgusted most is that clock still more than 20 seconds but players just stop fighting. This becomes typical S[purs performance,giving up...spurs suck balls,losing at home to lower seeds!!!
Pop is officially losing it. This team is on defense, and it's as if he doesn't care. On a night that the Spurs are shooting a great percentage from three, they only take 14 (as opposed to taking 25 when they are shooting like ass). Parker expends so much energy on offense and defense without a break. Why? Because Pop refuses to play Hill, who can at least cover for Tony on defense while he rests. Instead, we get to watch Finley guard Howard and Mason defend Dirk, and then Parker gets owned by Frodo with no help defense.
Manu not being there makes a difference, but there's no excuse for the tiness we witnessed, except that it's been going on for a while now.
at first i thought we gonna talk about how great Duncan and Gooden in backcourt after todays game..but after watching the game...never mind. I dont have anything to say to Bonner, he try his best but he just sucks now...
be careful questioning pop's 'infallible god' status guys...you might get pinked like i just did... :eyes
