Bench the whole ing team except for Manu.

why don't you call out duncan for playing like a scrub in the second half instead. losing the ball constantly, taking forever to make a freaking move. just pitiful. great in the first, choked in the second.
I called out the appropriate parties.
Our offense was in the second half thanks to Pop's brilliant calls.
And then runs the play to tie the game to force overtime for the guy on the team who is 1-15 with the leather ball since January 1.
Brilliant. Absolutely, mother ing, brilliant.
Aggie, I take it that you disapprove of Pop's play calling in that situation?
spurs on 3 pointers = 4/12
manu = 4/6
So next time is it Vaughn or Udrih?
I also didn't like how for like 3-4 plays they gave it to Finley to post up, but held it for the whole time then tried a fadeaway over the defender.
Might as well have had Oberto take the damn 3.
All alone in the corner. How could he miss the shot.
I think it was a fine play drawn by Pop.
It Would Have Never Come To A Bowen Three If We Had Not Left Michael ing Finley In For The Entire Fourth Quarter
Avery was grinning when we kept going back to the well on it.
Pop is just a dumbass when it comes to offense.
Manu played the whole fourth but only got the ball a handful of times, while we were treated to Finley and Bowen building a house of bricks.
Unbelievable. Manu would have willed this team to a win, and his dumbass ing coach doesn't even give him the shot.
Great Game!!!! Props to the MAVS.
I thought it was a good play. He had a wide open look at it.
If Bruce had made it, and the Spurs ended up winning, it would have been labeled as a brilliant play by Pop.
I told you the Spurs should've traded Bowen for Mike James.
Pop has ed up big time the last couple of years, but I support that decision. It was a great mis-direction play. Pop inserted in Oberto to give the mavs the impression, they were going for the quick two. Gino drove the lane and found Bowen WIDE OPEN in the corner. That's his shot. He had a great look. It was the best three point opporunity you can expect from that situation. Great play. It just wasn't meant to be.
I thought it was a very good play. Few teams will get a shot that wide open in those cir stances.
That was a great play for Bowen. He got the wide open look and just missed it. Stop making excuses and just accept that we lost in a close game.
The final play that Pop ran was brilliant. It created a WIDE open shot. Problem was he didn't exactly run it for the right player: A guy who is 2-17 the past 3 games.
However, Pop didn't have many options. No way were the Mavs going to leave Ginobili open in the perimeter. Parker and Duncan could have made a contested 2 pointer which wouldn't have helped. Barry, Finley, Horry our "3 point shooters" are non existent. I thought it was a great play, given the options Pop had. Also, it was Bruce Bowen's "spot." You can't expect to get such a wide open look like that...he should have made it.
That's the same play they ran against the Kings in the playoffs...the one Barry barely made, so it's not a bad play. But why Bowen? He missed all game...give it to the hot hand.
He had a good look from the side. Mavs win the January 5th championship. Maybe they'll hang a banner for that.
I thought Tony should have penetrated and dished to Manu at the 3 point line. Tony did a great job today bringing the defense in with him. I would have done that instead.
But it wasn't that horrible of a play as is.
I'm in' sick of small ball though. Finley or Barry at the PF spot for stretches killed everything.
