In other news Kevin Love with a 40/19 game.

Poor man's Kevin Love: 3 points and 2 boards.

This is on Otis for the pathetic team he has assembled.


Pop wins championships and I see him benching Duncan, Ginobli and Parker when they play this poorly. Stan doesn't have the guts to do it, which I find incredible considering his demeanor.



I rather not benched them. Let them play thru it so they can experience how humilating they are.

Pop has also coached the best PF in NBA history and 2 of the best perimeter players of the past decade (Gino/Parker). Great coach no doubt but so is Stan.

Players don't know their roles. No way Earl should be shooting period. He;s there to defend rebound and get garbage points. Everyone wants to be a damn scorer.

Yeah I know what you mean, but I think the "honeymoon" with Earl is over or at least I think it is... :lol:

Great, now I'm angry again from reminiscing about that awful Phoenix trade.

Is Stan's only play 2 in, thumb down? I've seen him throw signals out a 100 times and that's the only one I've ever seen.

Considering how often we lose like this, we must have the dumbest group of NBA players in the league because they haven't learned the lesson yet.

Problem is, athletes have huge egos. so, if you keep them in the game they think they haven't done anything wrong...

Ryan Anderson and Kevin Love should never be mentioned in the same sentence, not even close.
