only you would about a meaningless game.
A guy is 1-9 and you draw up a play for him to shoot at the end of the game?
And you sit a guy who is 9-11 on the night?
Unbelievable.
Tpark, if ever there was a time for you admit to Pop screwing up the offense at the end of games, this is it.
only you would about a meaningless game.
Why did we go for a three?!?
If Manu went in a scored... or even drew a foul....
TPark, you're a re .
Hey, if it doesn't matter, why play it? Why risk injuring Duncan? Why not give Manu a breather?
You have got more excuses for Pop's mistakes than Pop does.
Of course you would also know the ORIGINAL play.
You would know, what the play was, everything right.
Of course, you know everything.....
TPARK,
Glenn Robinson wasn't even on the FLOOR. I know it probably hurts, but try using your brain.
I'm usually a strong Pop defender but this loss is solely on his shoulders tonight. Where the was Udrih in the fourth?
RUN PICK AND ROLL AT THE TOP WITH MANU AND DUNCAN, AND YOU GET A GUARANTEED BUCKET.
WHAT THE WAS THAT??????????????
TIM DUNCAN IS NOT READY. POP IS STILL A ING IDIOT.
I'M ING PISSED.
AGAIN.
An Horry shot at the end of a game is usually going down.
The mistake was having Mohammed in there on the last defensive stand. He's the team's worst defender as far as rotating to the right guy ... and he proved it again by leaving Miller wide open for the game winner.
This loss is definitely on Pop. Keeping Wilks in the game when he really wanted the win cost us.
Stupid move Pop.
LJ, Horry was 1-9. Sorry, he shouldn't have even been in the game. How can you justify sitting a guy who's 9-11 in favor of one who's 1-9 for the last shot?
Oh wait, I know, if Malik was here, he would have won it at the end for us
When Wilks came in the Spurs were down 5. He got them the lead under his point guard direction.
Duncan came in, we were up by 5 or so and the defense was gone.
Well, as far as leaving Miller wide open, you can't blame Nazr for assuming that was the Spurs' basic plan, having watched the previous 11:59 of the quarter.
YOU ARE A ING IDIOTRUN PICK AND ROLL AT THE TOP WITH MANU AND DUNCAN, AND YOU GET A GUARANTEED BUCKET.

For once, see Sequ's point. Spurs blow an easy game, and create doubt where we should be on a roll to the playoffs.
Our only hope now is that Utah beats the Kings, else we are stuck against the Nuggets with an obviously not 100% Tim.
Or course, Tony did not play tonight (?!?), so that will hopefully make our offense better. What did everyone think of Beno and Wilks? Did they earn themselves spots? Is Marks out?

He didn't draw up the play for Horry. Horry's guy just left him wide open.
I'm guessing you didn't watch the game.
Again.
P.S.
Explain why Baby Hakeem was in there on the final play. If you want something to about, that's it.
I couldn't agree more, the guy whose gone one for nine isn't the guy I want taking the last shot, I want the guy that's gone nine for eleven....
Give it up
Horry has made his career from knocking down shots like that. 1-9 or not..there is no problem allowing one of the most clutch players in history to take the game winner.
Tim and Manu got us back in the game, not Wilks.
Wilks made a bunch a boneheaded plays in the fourth trying to force the ball into the post and pretended like our hottest shooter, Glenn Robinson didn't exist. Beno ran the offense much better and actually spreads the floor. If you want the win you play your best players. Period.
Having Wilks in the game meant he didn't really want the win. If he wanted the win, Parker would have played. Or he would have had Udrih on the court.
The only reason Duncan and Manu went back out there is to give them a little run in a pressure situation.
Nothing more.
The reason the Spurs lost this game was actually Duncan. The Spurs needed to get him more playing time, but with 5 fouls, he gave up tons of easy baskets for the Grizzlies (insert momentum here). Otherwise, Spurs probably win easily.
LJ,
You said it yourself last year - Horry hasn't hit a big shot when it mattered for the Spurs since we got him.
I could forgive Pop if Big Dog was even on the floor, but he wasn't. And what a shocker - the Grizzlies are allowed to play defense and made the worst shooter on the court tonight take our last shot.
I forget, Nazr can't play D and obviously Malik would have blocked that last shot, or so it goes around here.
Running a play for Horry was the right thing to do...he's proven time and time again that he can hit game winners even if he hasn't made another shot for the entire game...
It's good to see the Spurs are finally acknowledging Horry as a viable option for game winning shots...
This game was ultimately meaningless, Horry was in non playoff mode, the whole game and resting up from playing a ton of minutes due to injury...if it was a playoff game Horry would have made that shot...
Horry is back, believe it.
There's no gurantee Duncan or Big Dogg hit it either...Horry is always an option for a game winning shot...not matter how badly he has shot for the rest of the game.
Good point!
