We are doing real well w TMAC as the spark plug off the bench. Could he be our Manu Ginobli? He can be our offensive stud off the bench. thoughts? he can probably even with 6th man of the year next year if he keeps this going.
He's a definite starter. Ideally, Bonzi should be the offensive spark off the bench, because he couldn't get any rhythm against the Sonics.
No. Against good teams we'll will be down by double digits before he even sees the court. If he plays with the 2nd unit he will continually be doubled, thus effectively taking away his best attribute- scoring. He is best in the starting lineup. Honestly, coming off the bench makes little difference as either way he will be playing 30+ MPG with the other 30+ MPG guys.
I think he should get back in the starting lineup, our starting 5 is terrible on offense. (just look at tonight's game) I think Adelman will put T-Mac back in at the starting point in one of the next games. Even without having recovered from his injury, he makes his teammates better and plays great. I really love his effort.
ive been wanting this to happen all season.... start scola along yao with bonzi head and rafer and bring hayes off the bench with mcgrady brooks and landry
He won't be coming off the bench. It really is silly to think thats' even a possibility. The day Kobe, Lebron, Duncan, etc. come off the bench regularly, I'll back up this idea. Edit: hahaha, I mistyped Kobe as Boke...
Our starting lineup tonight played terribly. Our team is better with McGrady in the game, as seen today. Getting off to a good start right from the tip is important, therefore Tmac needs to start.
We need to slowly ease T-mac back into the game, especially with the lingering pain in his knee. Having him in the game only when we need him most, I think is the best way to go.
Let's bring Yao off the bench and really surprise the opponents. We'd have to hide them under the bench or something though to keep the element of surprise.
Doesn't matter who starts, only who finishes. TMAC can come from the effin' hospital for all I care, as long as he's on the court for the last 7 minutes!
You're right, but if we had a test only about 20 people would be able to post here. Threads like these are why I am ashamed to let my roommate(Spurs fan) read anything here.
Why? Manu off the bench, because they dont have much offensive fire power off the bench. They figure Duncan and Parker probably are enough to start off the game. We dont have that luxuary. Plus, Tmac is not going to be happy if reduced to a sub. Also Tmac is going to average around 40 min a game, having him not play in the first 6 min or so is just silly.
