If they fire Poppovich for some reason, the Pistons should instantly fire Curry and pick him up. I don't care how bad it makes the Pistons look.
It would make them look like champions within 2 years.
or less.Quote:

The Pistons will not win again with that core, true, so that version of the team is DONE.
Let me know when the Spurs trade Done-can, Parker or Ginobili and we can revisit this.
Nice
lol
I clapped while laughing at this.
Nice! I was laughing while doing it. I actually used the same color as the marker he used but ther was a lighter color marker used on that clipboard as well. It could have been better but I went for content over style.
I did it for Glenn...well that and I got a new haircut but he never notices those things. :(
I lol'd but forgot to acknowledge.
Poor form on my part.
It rules.
Pop is a fucking genius!
I LOL'd the first several times at the "Pass to Tim," and when I realized the "Not done" I LOL'd even harder. Excellent work.
Surging.
Apparently because they're following Pop's gameplan.
I just put Herm on my ignore list.
Also, do we have an ignore list?
VALTER, WE NEED REASSURANCE
They've been getting fat on a weak schedule, I'm not worried.
Damn, that was quick.
Valter, what if the Spurs win it all? What sayeth you thence?
Not only that, but what if they win it all with Matt Bonner starting at the 5?
It could happen. I like their odds.
I don't know what you could possibly want me to say other than "I was wrong" which I will, of course, if they win.Quote:

This is a good signing for the Spurs, perhaps some here have been wrong about them.Quote:
Spurs sign NBA D-League's Hairston
Posted Dec 22 2008 2:36PM
SAN ANTONIO (AP) -- The San Antonio Spurs signed swingman Malik Hairston from their NBA Development League team Monday.
Hairston has played 11 games with the Austin Toros, averaging 19.5 points, 5.9 rebounds and 4.6 assists per game.
The former Oregon player was cut at the end of Spurs training camp in October. He was the 48th pick in this year's draft by Phoenix, which sent him to San Antonio in exchange for the draft rights to Goran Dragic.
I think they have a real shot this year.
The Spurs should be in rebuilding phase about now. Really, the team has been a formidable, if no longer dominant, force for a decade, and that's a pretty good run these days. You can't keep it up forever.
But with Pops (one of the best coaches in the NBA, IMO) Parker and a still-effective Duncan, they can bridge the gap and remain a strong playoff perennial.
But they are NAWT going to win it all.
oh my god I hate Ginobili
Kobe had the entire side to himself Iso'd and he passed it like a bitch.
We're going to need a new poll, just so we can see what everyone thinks now.
Go to sleep.
I love Gregg Popovich. That is all.
Austin Croshere got a 10-day deal with the DONES.
FORGET BIELEIN, POP IS THE REAL "MASTER MOTIVATOR"

Popovich blasts Spurs' defense
By Jeff McDonald - Express-News
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — In a moment of truth just before the Spurs took the floor Saturday night in Chicago, coach Gregg Popovich opened up to inquiring minds about all that was wrong with his club.
The laundry list of problems was so small it would fit on a Post-It note. It was just one item, really. But in Popovich's world, it was a biggie.
“We suck on ‘D,'” Popovich said, with the “D” standing for defense.
That was the entire text of Popovich's State of the Team address, as succinct as it was devastating. All follow-up questions fishing for a silver lining were quickly rebuffed.
Do you mean all game long, or just in fourth quarters?
“No, pretty much throughout,” Popovich said. “Both individually and team-wise, we suck. We're pretty consistent that way.”
Surely there is a way to fix this problem, some sliver of hope on the horizon?
“I don't know if I have an answer to that,” Popovich said. “If I did, we wouldn't suck quite so bad.”
A suffocating defense has long been the Spurs' calling card, the common thread that has hung four NBA championship banners in their home arena.
This season, the Spurs are 26-13 and sitting atop the Southwest Division. But, in a flip from years past, Popovich believes his team's success has come in spite of its defense, not because of it.
Heading into today's MLK Day matinee at Charlotte, which caps a three-game road swing, the Spurs rank eighth in the NBA in scoring defense, surrendering 94.2 points per game.
That number isn't so bad. To Popovich, it also is largely irrelevant.
A truer measure of a team's defensive effectiveness, he believes, is its field-goal percentage defense. It is the first number he looks at when handed the box score at the end of the night.
In Popovich's 11 full seasons on the bench, the Spurs never have finished worse than fifth in the NBA in that category. So far this season, they rank 21st. Opponents are shooting 46 percent against them.
The Spurs also are giving up a 36.9 percentage from 3-point range, 19th in the league.
A firm believer that a team eventually gets what it deserves, Popovich cringes to think of the comeuppance due the Spurs if they don't begin to boost their defensive numbers to familiar levels. And quickly.
“The only thing that's saving us is that everybody else is beating everybody else up, so our record looks basically as good as anybody else's,” Popovich said. “It's fool's gold, as far as I'm concerned.”
Rock bottom for the Spurs' defense came in Philadelphia, during a 109-87 loss that opened the road trip Friday night.
The 76ers shot 50 percent from the field, 57 percent from the 3-point line, and alley-ooped their way to 30 fast-break points en route to handing the Spurs their most lopsided defeat of the season.
Essentially, the Sixers transformed the Wachovia Center into their own personal pick-up game, with the defenseless Spurs as an unwitting foil.
Perhaps inspired by their head coach's not-so-gentle public pregame prodding, or the sheer humiliation of what happened in Philadelphia, the Spurs turned in one of their better defensive performances of the season a night later in Chicago. They held the Bulls without a field goal in the final 3:13 to lock up a 92-87 victory.
Afterward, however, the Spurs resisted the urge to declare themselves cured of all their defensive ills.
“We were better,” point guard Tony Parker said. “It's a good first step.”
The next step comes today at Charlotte. Physically, the Spurs are in North Carolina, the Tar Heel State.
Philosophically, however, they find themselves in a show-me state of mind — as in, “show me” the defensive stand they took against the Bulls is more than just a one-night wonder.
“It's just one game,” Tim Duncan said. “Now you have to build on that. If we go back to the way we've been playing, this game doesn't mean anything. It starts with one game, and you build from there.”
It might be the one way for the Spurs to silence their most vocal critic, their head coach.
BTW, the Pistons are 5th best in the NBA in that category, behind the Buttnuggets, Tragic, Keltics, and LeBrons.Quote:

Rodeo > Spurs
Well, I guess if you can't beat 'em
Get it done Joe!
