To many GM`s saw that he sucks. hmm maybe McFail won`t...

I hope today is the last time I see you in Spurs uniform

I think Mase will be fine going forward. Not his fault really...1st playoffs with the team. Kinda unfair to judge him when one of the main pieces (Manu) is out. If Manu was there it would take more pressure off of Mason.
id like to see Mason on the floor with Parker, Hill, and Duncan....I think he would be far more effective.
Hill is a rookie and steped up. Mason is MIA. Trade him
With the Spurs will play well in the playoff or you're useless
If you are going to blame him you better be on Pop's ass too. He killed Roger's game with the whole 'George Hill can't play in the playoffs cuz' he's a rookie so I'm going to make Mason my point guard' thing.
Mason was never the same after Pop made that move. Damn, I remember the days when Hill was playing a defense and chipping in offense while Mason was dropping 18 a game and hitting three game winners.
But Pop ruined it all![]()
Mason hasn't been a good playoff performer in any series he has been a part of. That won't change anytime soon. The fact that he can't even get off the bench to play this game just goes to show horrible he really is...
This is one of the best posts all year. You're right. Mason is a good player...but Pop ed him up by trying to make him run PG. He is strictly a SG. And as our backup SG next year next to Manu...I'll be fine with.
thaz acutally not bad, cuz u should look the way hedo is playing.
so mason will eventually be like hedo i gues lol
WTF are you talking about... he kicked ass for us this season... wasn't until Pops idiotic rotations that he started ing up.
Once he was exposed as being nothing more than a stand up jump shooter with no dribbling skill whatsoever...he became worthless.
Mase had his role, he was very good in that capacity, and then it got taken away. I'd like to see him play out his contract, but let him play his real position.
Biggest letdown for the Spurs this postseason. He had a great season for us but didn't finish the job.
Mason, Bonner, and Pop are the reasons spurs lost this series.
This is easily the worst coaching job of Pop's career. this whole abortion of a season.
Exactly. Pop effectively nuetralized 2 productive players. I doubt this was lost on the Spurs players. The way the Spurs have played at times this season, one can't help but speculate if they've started to tune Pop out.
How do you explain Bonner and Finley getting 30 minutes a night then? They were still in the rotation. But then again, Finley is over 35, which makes him valuable to Pop, and when Pop squints hard enough Bonner looks like Horry so he still gets his run.
Pathetic.
If idiot Pop had kept Mason at SG and let Hill play PG, Mason would be fine. Pop completely messed up Mason's game. Although, I do think alot of people overrated Mason a bit.
Pop has some to blame but Mason was TERRIBLE in the playoffs and that not 100% on Pop.
He was scared of the playoffs just like Bonner.
He has to work on improving his game a little bit, it's obvious that teams adjusted for him.
I still think he's a net plus for us. This Post-season was weird for him, plus Pop is more to blame in using our roleplayers after the Manu injury....How can Mason adjust when his role isn't concrete, or constantly ambiguous.
Don't look to me to defend Pop, his coaching has been horrendous. Any other coach would be fired tomorrow but the Spurs probably can't afford anyone better...so we are stuck with him.
Pop is to blame for alot but no amount of coaching will make Mason a better dribbler and finisher at the rim. If you crowd Mason at the 3 point line, he becomes a ghost. Other teams figured that out and I have a feeling it will be more of the same next year.
Bonner should go before Mason but I agree that he's sucked it up as of late.
He should just stick to his role and shoot, imo. No need for that dribbling bull crap.
I don't think anyone is saying it's 100% on Pop. But he deserves the lion share of the blame IMO.
