I expect even the younger guys are getting tired legs with so many games crowded in and with no rest the defense drops and their shot don’t. I’d think it would really help to be using Anderson and even Malcolm some.
surely pop can see this. if guys are getting tired, play deeper into the bench. anderson isn’t going to get back on track without court time.

exactly. I hate when people try and say Tiago and Timmy can’t play together because they are similar offensively when Blair and Timmy start together. It’s clear as day Timmy and Tiago need more playing time together on the court and we need another big guy like many of us have been saying before the season started

I’d rather have Tiago abuse the second unit. Only want them to play together at the close, though.

I agree, just that he needs to play more minutes. Have them and Duncan overlap at times.
by silverandblack_davis on Jan 21, 2012 9:47 PM CST up reply actions
Well, Spurs without a PG, need someone to run the offense. With just parker, you don’t have much else. With Splitts in the 2nd unit, you can use him as the go to guy in that unit.
Spurs need to balance out their strength. Obviously, if Blair is in foul trouble..

In a game like tonight, just putting Anderson & Thomas out there for a minute to give others a breather would make sense. Wouldn’t it have been wiser to play splots more minutes last year? Just because I respect Pop as a helluva a coach, doesn’t mean I can’t ask questions.

I can’t see a good reason though. There aren’t any practices to make a guy really stand out or gain or lose ground. I mean Kings game was a good example where a lot of players didn’t have it and Pop just experimented and went with what worked.
That said, he should have went to Tiago more the night before.
Winter is coming
Anderson was playing over 20 mpg until Manu was hurt, started one game, and has barely played since. Seems like some non-basketball reason must have him in Pop’s doghouse. Hopefully changes soon.
If they don’t play him, all they could ever do with a trade is make him a throw in and get nothing for the 20th overall pick in the draft. He’s not looked that bad. If he winds up with some other team I expect it may haunt the Spurs for years.
I think you are right, it’s not a good situation, but it seems to be the situation we are in.
Both teams played hard
I think without practice and everything else, everyone just has to ride through it. Without Manu and TJ, the stability in the lineups is very odd. Even though Green has the trust of Pop, the dynamics might change a bit once TJ and Manu are back. Then Pop has some stability where he can manage the youngins a tad different.
Winter is coming
They he should be in Austin, if he ws struggling and there is another issue. No point in him just sitting. It’s not like there is a lot he can do during practice.
Winter is coming
Too true. There are teams that have won 3 in a row, but its still a doozie.
A man gets the eye of a Tiger, but a Tiger gets the eye of a Manu.
This is a season where just getting to the playoffs is enough.
Then you roll the dice for a good first round matchup.
And you hope you’re healthy by then.

So can one of you PtR players who attends the next home game ask Pop Y HE NO PLAY ANDERSON?
I never take the high road, but I tell other people to, that way there is more room for me on the low road.
I dunno, theres that thing where he has SUCKED BIG TIME so far.
A man gets the eye of a Tiger, but a Tiger gets the eye of a Manu.
So has Bonner but Pop still plays him.
I never take the high road, but I tell other people to, that way there is more room for me on the low road.
Anderson has probably sucked worse than Bonner.
A man gets the eye of a Tiger, but a Tiger gets the eye of a Manu.
He actually was decent in the preseason and his first couple games. Then Green came out of no where and Anderson’s shot wasn’t falling.

but green right now is not playing well
"He was just a young skinny guy who looked like a winner. We didn’t know he was going to be as good as he is."

He isn’t, and that is why the team is having issues. Same with leonard (although he did rebound well this game).
Winter is coming
Neal had his first good scoring game in a while, but his 3pt shot isn’t that hot. Neither is his D.

I was appalled when Drexler said Neal was shooting something like 29% on threes. Hard to get wins when our shooters are in playoff mode.

Sadly, it’s worth than last year since he seems gassed after long runs. I was shocked how much time Pop gives him right after coming back.
Winter is coming
Maybe because Pop has no choice and needs scoring?
by silverandblack_davis on Jan 21, 2012 9:59 PM CST up reply actions
That’s what it seems like. That’s probably why he put Neal in for Bonner against the kings, which was actually a bad move.
Winter is coming
I think earlier in that game Pop also called a timeout when Tiago was about to score. I thought it was a bad move. We used to have some nice plays after timeouts, but now we often have pretty bad plays when we need a good one.
Both teams played hard
I don’t think anyone wants verbally and psychologically bitch slapped

He should be. His team sucks and is relying on Baron Davis to save them.

I don’t think your theory on Isaiah running the team behind the scenes is true. He was reported to be blasting the Knicks for getting Tyson Chandler instead of a real point guard

But he was big on doing the Melo deal, in all its forms. Dolan gave him a lot of money to “consult.” That said, I feel like he has a lot of influence since a lot of his deals mirror Isiah’s thinking. Whether Dolan was the one to overule him in the case of Chandler, I don’t know, though.

Yea, but still. A man should never rock a choker. I am telling you, they need to spin this universal truth into the next most interesting man in the world commercial.

It hurts to lose such a close game, but lets face it. No Duncan and Manu= Throw away game. Still, they shot FIFTY SIX percent. Effin appalling.

More that the usual share came with a hand in the face.

I only tuned in for the waning minutes, when Lowry and Dragic got straight to the cup like they were picking up a fuddruckers burger.

But you missed out on most of the 4th where the D did tighten up. There were a lot of contested plays in that quarter that the Rockets made. They also had their share of bad defense, but Rockets did hit some tough shots. The Dragic last second (on shot clock) play was a good example of that.

Does anyone support Pop throwing the game away tonight? Or even see it that way?
You are only young once, but you can be immature for a lifetime
I dont think he had a choice, the spurs best player is in a splint, and Duncan is 50 years old. So its ridiculous to infer he threw the game away.

Why he didnt play Duncan in 4th last night if he was not going to play today?

exactly. most of us assumed it was to rest him for today’s game.

Of course he had a choice, Tim Duncan was also not happy about not playing today. And despite being regarded as the best coach in the NBA, if Tim Duncan is said to not be in good spirits at missing tonight’s game, you’re not exactly free of scrutiny.

Even then, sometimes Duncan or even Manu isn’t happy about not playing, but the coach is right sometimes. I’m sure in the long run, Duncan not playing is a good thing. Now, for other decisions by Pop, that’s where he’s probably more at fault.
Winter is coming
True. Pop would truly be throwing this game out the window if Splitter doesn’t get more minutes after this game. Splitter has already earned them, heck, he earned them after the Memphis series, but he’s still not getting the minutes he deserves.

There have been times where Pop went small ball with Kawhi/Green/Duncan, so i’m not going to fault Pop on those occasions. There have been times where Blair has played well and Pop didn’t give Tiago as much time. I don’t ncessairly agree though, when he could have played Duncan less. But I do see some areas where it made it tougher. There were also a few games where Tiago just picked up fouls really quickly.
Winter is coming
I feel like you’re trying to justify Pop’s line ups by tippy toeing through different scenarios where it would appear adequate to not play Splitter. The fact is that it has almost been a season and a half and Pop is still reluctant to give significant minutes to Splitter, who is our second best big.

Eh, I guess Duncan could have played. I dont know what to make of last nights game. Best to just forget it. It was lost cause from the start.

Yeah, I’m glad I didn’t watch the game, I would’ve been pissed throughout out it. Best to just forget it is right. I’m confident I’ll find oblivion at the end of this bottle tonight.

I think we need to see how well it works in the next game to have given this game off. He’s not been playing well when he doesn’t have at least a day off.
Is this what it’s come to? Saving up Tim Duncan for a very important game against the NOOCH on Monday?

I think even playing Duncan just 12 minutes, 6 to start each half, would’ve helped. Considering we lost by 3, it would’ve helped a lot.

He’s been running the team since Walsh was kicked out. He’s an “advisor” now. The moves seen by the team scream a lot of Isiah influence.

Didn’t he have to give up that title because he is coaching NCAA ball? I remember the media talking about this because it is seen as a conflict of interest having a guy who has actual clear NBA ties and an official job title coaching in the NCAA

Yes, he is in a pickle. The loophole is that he is a consultant. So he is not officially making decisions. Yet, in a lot of the stuff I read about Walsh, I saw that Isiah was a key pusher in the decisions. That and the Melo stuff. I feel like Dolan still gets the final say, but it sounds like he sides with Isiah a lot. Dolan does seem like one of those more sleezey type of owners though.

am I wrong or was that either a) back court violation or b) travel ?
