Pop is a complete turd.
this bull , ing horrible lineups.
Mason should NEVER see an NBA court, and Bogans has been completely useless.
The quicker this series gets over with the better. With this lineups Pop may as well throw the game.
Pop is a complete turd.
Pop took Dice out of the game when he was beasting and never put him back, you Pop and I can't stress that enough.
Pop, I always said Bogans and Mason getting playing time would be a death knell for this team.
Temple >>>>>>>> Mason, Bogans
And where the is hill? I know he has played like and is injured but he's still >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Mason or Bogans.
The decision to take Dice out I can understand. He had 3 fouls and with the way the officiating was going, he was likely to get his fourth very quickly.
The decision to go small ball and play Mason/Bogans/Bonner over Blair, especially after his last game, was unconscionable.
I think the number of fouls being called got in his head. He was scared to play Dice for fear of a fourth foul. He decided not to put Blair in, possibly because he was worried about more fouls being called...so instead he went to Hack-a-Damp with Mason.
As I said in the game blog, the Hack-a-Damp I think was to send a message. But overall, piss poor job managing/reacting to the foul situation.
Bogans and Mason single handedly killed any momentum SA had. You sit Dice, then you play Blair. NEVER EVER do small ball.
This team is so ed.
If this season ends earlier than expected be ready to see Manu playing the world cup
and to think that Pop might have learned his lesson from last year's playoffs...
It sucks having a thick-headed, pathetic jackass for a coach.
Small ball when our 'big' is 6'7 is STUPID
And Mason played 10 minutes more then he should.
Dumbass hasn't learned.
We only have two players over 6'10 few teams are going to win with only two bigs.
It's the playoffs, everyone's minutes go up. You HAVE to have 2 solid rebounders at all time. No excuse to play Bogans at the 4. And we Pop already mentioning playing Jefferson at the 3 where he feels more comfortable.
Times like these are where giving away Theo was atrocious.
I agree that playing small will get us swept. Winning the battle of the boards is imperative. Size is overrated. Blair can grab many more boards than Bonner ever will. Heck look at Jason Kidd for a guy that's small and has a knack for rebounding.
