You know your team is in trouble when that is the type of player who is your last hope.
How the mighty have fallen...

the truthiness of that scares the out of me, but his game is perfect for the idiotic small ball pop wants to run
He's supposedly almost ready to play. I just hope Pop puts him in the rotation.
If I could photoshop, I'd put him in Luke Skywalker gear.
nah shoog, the Spurs can always trade Manu.
Tough loss for the Spurs today (Spurs 104-106 Orlando) and PROPS to Barry and Finley – they were both terrific,
Unfortunately today we saw “Last year’s Playoffs give away officiating towards Dallas in Games 3 and 4” – The Spurs got bad calls in the end of the game – give away points to Orlando, no offensive-push-foul on Nelson’s last drive to tie the game at 104-104, no call on Howard for "breaking" Timmy's hand before that – The Spurs’ 2 BIGS Manu and Tony really didn’t give 100% - My Manu was LOST during the entire game, Tony also didn’t contribute much and in clutch situations made poor decisions – ORL was doing what every smart and capable team did/does against the Spurs – shut down Tony and Manu, let Timmy gets his points and you will beat the Spurs – still, Barry and Finley kept the Spurs in the game; However, bad officiating kept Elson on the bench with BOGUS fouls given against him, and basically the Spurs played without a center today. Oberto helped as much as he could... However, this game clearly showed again the Spurs DON’T HAVE a reliable backup PG – and the inconsistency continues – after 1 good WIN, another disappointing LOSS – I know JJ Re and Nelson shot like crazy, and they got the officiating calls in the end, but there is no excuse for Popovich to take Barry out of the game with 27 sec to go and put Bowen, who was fouled and miss both FTs! Tony also struggled on the line as he was 3 out 6 FTs – Orlando did a good job keeping him away from the basket – he wasn’t that aggressive. Manu played real bad (the worse of all) and finished with only 7 pts…Popovich also made a BAD SET PLAY in the end going for the win with 0.5 sec to go – the ball got in Tony’s hands, who struggled in the 4th – Tony tried to score from impossible situation and Howard blocked it instead of faking and finding Timmy under the basket for an easy 2 to finish those guys off; thus it is fair to say despite the POOR officiating, Popovich shut himself in the FOOT again with extremely POOR decisions in the end of the game…
Unfortunately we have to repeat once again – the Spurs CANNOT get several good wins in a row against strong teams, and this inconsistency [in Ginobili and Parker and some others] will cost them the entire season…The Spurs had no answer against ORL’s shooters and allowed 32 points in the 3rd and 26 pts in the 4th, i.e 58 pts in the second half – YOU CANNOT win many games by doing that…
Unfortunately, the Spurs are in a situation that they NEED ALL BIG 3 stars to score over 20 pts per game in order for us to WIN every game – this is How bad this team is positioned as far as players go...This is HOW BAD POPOVICH [and the management] is by putting our big 3 in a situation to try to carry this team all season long (along with Barry)…If one of our big 3 has a bad night (like Manu today), we CANNOT WIN close games, even though the bench produced today…
Sunday’s game with Miami is coming, and it appears the Spurs will put another LOSS in the bag after today's tough one – they are miserably 2-3 in this "rodeo road show", a CLEAR INDICATION to ALL of us that THEIR “TRIP” in the Playoffs this year will be A SHORT ONE, without a doubt…

GO SPURS!!!
Beno is finished
Okay, we have got to cheer you up. Believe!![]()
I agree.
Bonner gives the Spurs some more hustle and fire, but doesn't really solve any of the pressing problems.
Why must you douse the flickering flame that is our hope/
If Matt goddam Bonner is our hero and savior I want to switch teams.
Trade WHO? YOU???
Speaking of flame - can someone please put out that frickin mulch fire?!!?
Man, I remember those good ol' days when Robert Horry, Steve Kerr, and Stephen Jackson were our last hope![]()
I'll see what I can do.
You will change your mind when the Great Red Rocket leads us to the promised land.
To infinity and beyond.
That would be our last hope :

JUST KIDDING ; I still believe; as long as Pop doesn't draw important plays for TP...
Red Rocket. Why do you have to be like that about Bonner? He's one of the good guys! I just think he's a better alternative to our Small Ball..
but yeah, this is so SAD!
That is your best chance of beating the Mavs is if something like that happens to Dirk or the 3rd best SF in the West (Howard).![]()
whats the latest about the red rocket?will he play the next game?
They expect he'll see some minutes by the end of the road trip.
