I don't know how many of you watched Channel 45 instead of TNT last night. During that horrible fiasco we call the 2nd quarter you should have heard Eddie and Al. They couldn't believe that Frankie was not trying to counteract the Spurs with Big Jake. Here several of our players were in foul trouble; Duncan and Robinson were having their way with us; we have and were still playing a 1/2 court transition game; and Johnson as someone pointed out was still stubborn.
The man cannot coach and has been surviving on last second miracles during this series. How many times during this year have we said play Little Jake more and he didn't. Finally something clicked and Jake must have had a super dupper game somewhere and he began playing him more. I call this an accidental learning experience and not a coach with ability or genius to recognize talent. Little Jake has more upside than Bo and Williams in many aspects. He has no idea how to develop these players or as it will come down to.....keep them in the future when their contracts are up.
Amare, in Johnson's own words and acknowledgements, stated earlier in the year that if Googs had not gone down he would not be getting the minutes. The man plays and breathes small ball, has no concept of something we can refer to as tall ball, and I hope will be let go at the end of this season. I am tired of his teeth showing through his mouth (but it is better than Skiles attitude) and should be replaced with someone that can and will use the talent that is on this team, but he can't seem to find it.
Again I repeat that you should have heard the real moans and groans on Channel 45. Al very seldom makes personal comments, but he was last night. Remember Big Jake has the ability to receive and dunk the ball and maybe get Duncan and Robinson in foul trouble....especially after the Spurs tallest buildings begin to get winded.
