SMALL BALL

this could have been posted in the game thread.

[ducks]

is this the first time spurs should 51.4% and lose?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Our interior rebounding and defense were downright terrible

but as time wears on, I don't know if its aging or what, but Pop's subs ution patterns have to be at the absolute bottom of the league

Just when Pop seems to get off of Horry's jock when Horry plays sketchy, he gives a huge bulk of the minutes to michael needs to retire finley!

I was amazed he even bothered to start TD off in the 4th

The last few minutes of the 3rd quarter was probably the worst stretch of "Spurs Basketball" I have seen this entire season

Nice to know when things go wrong the Church will start pointing fingers all around.

Way to generalize. It was a team loss. That being said, I thought Bruce played the best of anyone on the team tonight.

How about Finley retires?

[upTD]

The Spurs just got destroyed in the paint. Duncan didn't do anything defensively and Pop played small ball too long.

This game makes me sick of Finley. Enough already. Let Barry play. Even if you want to play Barry as Tony's backup too. That's fine.

trade tim

Aww, that was nice of him. Maybe we can get a Kobe for Finley deal to go.

[lefty]

Yeah Lakers deserve to win tonight, no question ; however they are not a contender yet

[Emanuel20]

i vote to that .........he still will be making big bucks anyways:P

small ball

[themvp]

Tim Duncan with 9 FGA. I hate that. In 38 minutes.

[Condemned 2 HelLA]

Completely unacceptable.
Now ever Lamer fan is going to be on the radio tomorrow saying how the Lamers have a clear road to the Finals after this game tonight!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

How about Finley retires?

Yes, he's become this years NVE

There's still a long way to go in the season, but at this rate he deserves to be buried on the bench

he took more shots than TD for god's sake

[VaSpursFan]

the finley experiment is a failure...at least horry is showing signs of life...finley has flatlined

[Texas_Ranger]

I'd like to see if we would start playing like in 2005, with great defense and a lot of rebounds.

pretty much won't happen with small ball

i thought you'd be the last to say anything negative about finley.

i agree 100% with everything.

watching finley, he looks hesitant and settles too much for the 3 ball and misses those. he missed some really open shots. the 1st quarter missed layup when he was right at the rim sums up michael finley's future in the nba.

[MannyIsGod]

Manu should've started.

Right. Because with Manu as a stater, TD woudln't habve been such a big pussy in this game.

[gospursgooo]

I hate to say this but ... MICHAEL FINLEY SUCKS ... BIG TIME!!!

[Emanuel20]

do u think pop will start manu next game or barry

[ducks]

lakers played a great game
they trapped tp doubled him
limiting td to 9 shot attempts

DID MANU SCORE IN THE 4?
