Nice coaching tonight by Pop
HORRIBLE subs ution patterns
way way too little of finley and horry
vaughn has to be benched in favor of udrih, yes, it has come down to that.
duncan playing 1 on 5 isn't gonna cut it
he needs to start calling his teammates out
having said all this, next 2 are in SA, if we drop any of those 2 games then we're back to square
Nice coaching tonight by Pop
and Manu and Parker.
I can't beleive it but Manu's balls have shrunk Dirk-size.
think it might have to do with no one besides duncan doing anything?
Wow, didn't see this thread coming....
How about the Spurs' complete and total lack of D tonight and the fact that Tony and Manu sucked?
Yep, it's Manu's fault he has been relegated to spot up shooter in our vintage 4down offense
^manu has been a great shooter
Uh, I don't know, maybe it has to do with running the same ing play for an entire quarter.
How does anyone on a team get in a rhythm when every single mother ing play is throw it into Tim and spot up for the three?
Ah, forget it, I've fought this battle before on this site, everyone lines up to suck his ing nuts because TD got 30 shots off.
Do you understand why they sucked? Neither one of them are great spot up shooters, which is what Pop relegated them to being tonight.
Like I said though, this is pointless, too many people are too clueless and blame it all on the players. I don't get why Pop is such a ing stud to everyone, when every year (sans last year) we get bounced from the playoffs because of his lame ass mother ing 4down .
Yep, it's Manu's fault he has been relegated to spot up shooter in our vintage 4down offense
sorry aggie, but manu needs to wake the up. his lack of aggression is killing us. parker didn't do much either, clog the lanes, force him on his J that is very inconsistent and you got him cornered.
hopefully things change when we head back to SA, but the worst thing about this loss is that phoenix has momentum
Manu's dirking. Can't even finish his layups anymore. Really sad considering how good he was in 2005.
manu is done, i said it before the series started, he is washed up, he ruined his legacy, these types of things ruin careers
Aggie, you've found a way to blame Pop for Manu sucking hardcore.
I can't take anything you post anymore seriously.
Maybe Manu needs to start! He's just having trouble getting his offense coming off the bench! Duncan has played well, but this small ball crap is not going to get us a win! Pop, I don't know why you keep pulling this ! It doesn't work!
Oh well I gave these es 1 game! Spurs in 5! Enjoy your 1 win jackasses!

Tim was eating everyone alive in the 3rd. I think the 4th foul really threw him off and he should've been in at the start of the 4th, not 3 minutes through it.
Manu is not attacking. Tony had a bad game. Free throw shooting was bad. Horry was useless. Barry was...well, him.
Duncan has 20 shots and he's knocking them down at a 60% clip. You wanna take the ball away from that? The team, sans Duncan, is shooting 37%.
If we moved the ball around and still sucked you'd be blaming pop for not going to Duncan inside to exploit the single coverage. Calm down, Suns played well, it's one loss.
This game wasn't lost with four down. Four down brought them back in the 3rd because no one else has done .
Manu has six ing points. Thats not going to cut it. Manu has sucked the entire playoffs. Its no ones fault but his own. Stop making ing excuses for Manu.
Manu has never been a spot up shooter. He is a streak shooter that gets hot only after he gets a couple of easy buckets.
How the can a guy be aggressive when he's being told to go down and throw it into Duncan every time and wait for the kick out?
Can we run some ing plays for him? He gets like 3 plays a game run for him these days. That's not going to get him in rhythm. Dude's a rhythm player.
Coming from a person who defended that small ball lineup of Manu, Finley, Oberto, Barry, and Vaughn tonight as buying time in the second, when Pop rolled it out again to start the fourth when it was still a game (that promptly turned into a rout), I'm not exactly offended.
Lame effort. Manu is really disappointing. Playing two backup centers and a third-string backup pg is not working out all that great. Elson can't dunk wide open. Turnovers galore. Everything went bad this game.
We needed less of Horry. He did jack and passed up wide open shots repeatedly.
Yep, Manu should be going off for 30 when he's got Vaughn, Barry, Finley, and Oberto out there with him.
The Suns aren't a great defensive team, but even they can handle Manu when they don't have to guard Barry, Oberto, or Vaughn.
Forget it, Pop is great, small ball is ing bad ass, and 4down does a great job of getting everyone not named Tim Duncan into the flow of the game.
It worked great in 2001, 2002, and 2004, I'm sure this is going to work out just as good as those years.
Good night.

The next time we play small ball with 2 inch vertical Fabri Oberto as center Pop should be fired.
Ever thought the Suns are actually playing good defense on Ginobili.
Entire 1st qtr Tall Ball with 2 of 3 in the whole time.
Result? Hard fought 25-19 lead and momentum.
Smallballs Pop is now rolled out for the 2nd quarter with Fabs Oberto as the Center along with Ginobili, Parker, Barry and Finley.
3 layups in a row after a short Diaw hook shot and its 28-27 Phx and momentum has been completely pissed away.
