pop doesnt give a right now.
tim has been back for one game, i would hardly say 'since tim came back' and then using some type of broad general statement anyway.
its not like the team was on the back end of a back to back anyway.
Does anyone really agree with his choice? It's obvious what he did.
Since Tim came back, the team seemed as if they were expecting to win the game just because the two-time MVP had returned. They were playing great at 71-68 and then Tim sits down, and everyone falls apart.
Pop didn't want Tim to bail the rest of the Spurs out, and it seems only Manu and Nazr realized it. It's a good thing that he wants to teach his team to win without Tim when he is available, but I think he should have had Tim in at least for the last two plays to guard Okur.
So do you agree with Pop's decision to not go with the obvious bail out and let the rest of team fend for themselves?

Nope.
But I hear he has two rings, so why bother.
well they do need to learn to keep playing with the same flow with tim in or out, but i wish that he would have been in for at least the last shot, even as a decoy, but, annyways, this game doesn't mean anything, we will take the 2 of the next 3.
I know Tim has been back a game, but that's what I'm saying. It looked as if the rest of the team was expecting a gimme since their star was back and they didn't play with the determination they did the last few games. I think they should just sit Tim 'til the 2nd game against Memphis.
If the game doesn't mean , then we should have rested Tim another night.
the rest of the team has also been playing a ing ton of basketball the past week.
its hard to get up for a meaningless game against utah.
especially when pop has basically said he doesnt give a about games right now.
tim also has to get back into basketball shape, hard to do on the practice court.
When exactly should we start playing him.then we should have rested Tim another night
Wait two more days???
Hes gotta start somewhere.
The game was a scrimmage for him, nothing less nothing more.
Good warmup for Memphis twice and Minnesota.
Settle the down.
Who cares it's one game and we lost, big whoop. Frankly, I didn't want it to go to overtime and I'm glad that Ginobili missed that baseline jumper. I don't want the Spurs always playing ing OT games.
OMG...... Its the end of the world...oh wait I forgot that the playoffs haven't started yet. The team looked tired, and I think that yeah they wanted to win the game but it was the fourth game in five days with the #2 spot locked up. I would rather have my guys tuned up for the playoffs then go through another grueling OT game that would push the minutes of each player up again. Come on ya'll it hurts but its not death. Pop played it out like he should have and to have Duncan on the floor at the end of a game thats tied up would have been even worse. happens in the final seconds when its a close game. Work him out now and get ready for the playoffs.
Keep it movin......
this loss may send us directly to denver in first round.. not the best matchup specially
with Tim coming back from injury..
Yep.
I mean yeah every game from when we clinched the playoff berth is meaningless, but the way San Antonio plays on the road, it's always better to have homecourt.
Denver this Denver that Denver ain't ...They are playing good right now but its two different seasons when it comes to the playoffs. I could care less about who we play just because I have confidence in my team. All Denver needs is to finish out the regular season and then get slapped in the first game of the playoffs to knock they ass back down to earth.
just because denver is playing good doesn't mean they will carry it in the playoffs, remember memphis last year???
They have the best record in the league since the All-Star break, but if you really think they "ain't " then knock yourself out.
Good point
All I'm saying is that Denver has had it good for the last couple months and everything is all good in the house.....BUT once they meet some opposition and adversity how will they respond. Carmelo can always go back to being CARMELO, and Karl could become the evil step-father of the team just like that. Seems to me that everybodies just looking for a new LA to be worried about.
Teams I'd rather not see in the WC playoffs
1. Houston
2. Denver
WGAF about anyone else...
I feel sorry for the homers who think Denver is an afterthought, they're gonna get a rude wakeup call when the playoffs start.
Why do people have to be homers just because they have confidence in their team. Its just opinions...I mean your right, Denver could become the best team in the playoffs but then again the Spurs could cut em back down to size just like that. I'm just the type of person who looks at the positive aspect of things rather than fearing what comes next. If everybody wants to run around with their tail stuck between their legs than thats their choice but the dumb why be a fan if all you do is doubt who you root for.
They do have inexperience in the playoffs and yeah I have all the confidence in the world for the Spurs, but playing Denver is not good for Tim coming back from this injury so soon.
Coach Karl knows how to win, so I think if we meet them in the first round, they'll give us trouble, but we'll win in 6 games.
I understand what you saying and yeah it is kinda tough for tim to come back like this, but Tim knows how to play and the team now knows how to play without him. It will be tough but I don't think that they should fear any team at this point.
It's all good...
bring it on...
I wouldn't trade our roster for Denvers straight up and it would be a a of a lot of fun to watch...
but at this point we are probably looking at Houston in the first round...
which could be nice too...
Believe guys...
Because, you have a different viewpoint.Why do people have to be homers just because they have confidence in their team
And the thing to do to people like that, is call them HOMERS.
Because, if you root for your team, think you can beat another team.
Your a homer. That simple, fantastic ideology aint it.
I don't mind Parker taking a shot.
I do mind his Steve Francis impression.
I also didn't like the defensive lineup that lead to the Okur putback. Phoenix has Pop spooked -- he has small ball on the brain.
Hope you ain't speakin of me.
I believe the Spurs could beat anyone, I just want to see us win it without too much trouble is all.
