Hill's energy kept this from being a blowout.
George "freakin" Hill!!!! he better see time in 2nd half but knowing POP!

hill ftw
I'll cosign for you on that one.
I'm just following the scores on espn.com, why is Gooden not yet fielded? Is he dressed up to play tonight?
The magnitude of the decision to bench Hill and go with Mason as backup PG grows bigger...
What was Pop thinking? Simply awful coaching.
that dunk got the crowd going and seemed to amp him up even more. then he hits that big 3...hopefully we will see more of hill in the second half and for s sake, put gooden in the freaking game.
he will give finley and bonner another chance and throw in hill with the last 2 mins
Is he in the doghouse?
Imagine if Hill had not been benched the past 2 months??? Bonner does not need anymore time on floor either..
yea GH. like most of us have been saying since half way through the year...PLAY HIM.
but i hate to say it, spurs just aren't that good. I mean if we really look at the team top to bottom and how each player is playing right now...just not that good at all. We gotta get some guys who can actually help in the playoffs unlike these scrubs....finley,MASON,boner, kt, yea well just the whole bench.
its sad when fans and forumers know better than the ing coach...
dude HIll is not playing backup PG. he is not good yet at backup pg
on the other hand I agree Pop should have given him minutes starting in game 1
Pop's gotta have a scapegoat for this first round exit.
They already hinted at Bowen being unhappy today in Buck's article. Gooden will be the other scapegoat, 'just looking for a contract' or some BS.
And yet somehow the colossal wastes of space that are Finley and Bonner will still be back next year. Pop.
the series is still not over but you've already started blaming your honorable Pop who has dozens of badges on his chest...
He have no one to play with. Everybody that apears in game sucks.
Mason was suppose to help, but playoffs were too much for him. Simply roles sucks. Pop can`t do anything with this
The lead story in Dallas sports after game 1 was how stupid Spurs fans are for bad-mouthing Pop. The two main issues were Bowen and Hill. How stupid are we now? Again, Pop's decisions against Dallas were just too much to overcome. I'm proud of the players that managed to mentally get past the loss of Manu, but unfortunately there were only four of those guys on the squad.
correction, with the help of a guy named PJ carlesimo
Sorry, but considering the fans were calling for more Bowen and Hill before the series, how would you explain it?
Pop overthunk himself this year. He made it way too hard on himself and the team. This isn't the first team to ever lose a key player heading into the Playoffs... you still have to have fairly regular rotations and established roles for your key players.
I also hated how Pop seemed to instill a sense of helplessness in the team. That's never been his style before, and this year there was way too much "We aren't as good as the Lakers," "We shouldn't be playing two Playoff games within 48 hours," "Our players can't play road back-to-backs," and the like. Fight through it. Other teams have to.
I just didn't see a coach trying to build the confidence of his team this year. At every turn, the moves and comments Pop made seemed to discourage confidence. Call it realism or whatever, but it left a bad taste in my mouth. We may not have had a Championship calibur roster this year, especially without Manu, but goddammit we're better than 5-game first round fodder to the Dallas ing Mavericks.
I don't know. Pop's a Hall of Fame coach and I ever want to see him anywhere else, so I hope he gets a lot of rest and gets back to the basics next year.
Why is everyone freaking out about Pop. At the beginning of the year this team had issues and we all knew it. This year might have been one of his best coaching jobs of the season. This team had so many injuries and issues but still was the 3 seed. Should have Hill played more, yes but fire Pop, come on guys
Disappointed in Pop for his damn ass coaching.
1. Starting Bonner
2. Keeping Finley
3. Not trusting Hill in the playoffs
4. Keeping the youth movement in the D League and Europe
5. Ridding ourself of athleticism - Pops.
6. Not using Gooden Consistently.
7. Starting Bonner (deserves two entries)
8. Consistently stupid subs utions.
9. Making Mason a point guard.
10. Giving up too early on Bowen.
11. Scola!
12. and finally once again.....Bonner!
POP you blew it!!
