Who makes it? This came up in the game thread(about whether Marks or Mass makes it), but we have other issues such as DB making it or not, and such. I believe only 12 can make it, so we gotta narrow it down a bit, and pick the best 12.

Here's Mine:

G Tony Parker
G Manu Ginobili
G Brent Barry
G Beno Udrih
G Devin Brown
F Bruce Bowen
F Glenn Robinson
F Robert Horry
F Tim Duncan
C Rasho Nesterovic
C Nazr Mohammed
C Sean Marks
--------------------------
(Don't Make it)
F Tony Massenburg
G Mike Wilks
F Linton Johnson

As much as I love Sean Marks, I think Massengburg edges him out. Like I said in the game post, I think Massenburg's strength and defensive prescence gets him the nod but Marks really does deserve a roster spot. Not to say that Mass doesn't, but Marks has been with the team for so long without any action and now that he is getting time, he is playing well...I will be rooting for him.

I agree Massenburg is a better defender, and is stronger, but Marks always plays inspired whereas Massenburg play lackadasical sometimes, forgets to box out, and is not the offensive player Marks is. I think Marks deserves the spot over him, although Mass will probably get it because he has been here all year, and Marks has just recently started playing.

I am not sure that will factor into the decision at all because, even though Massenberg has been on the team all season, Marks has been with the team, whether on the active roster or not, for 2 or 3 seasons now and knows the system, so familiarity won't be an issue.

Looking over our roster like that, and I see that we have a great team. Kudos to the Spurs management!

I would also have to go with Massenburg instead of Marks. Marks has shown definite potential but I've seen him miss quite a few open jumpers. He also bobbles the ball too much down low and often finds himself getting blocked. For those reasons I would choose Massenburg.

I would really hate to have Devin Brown not make the playoff roster because of injury. He was our sparkplug against the Lakers last year, and the playoffs in general so he would be sorely missed.

Pop said Devin probably won't be on the roster. Does that means he wouldn't get a ring? That'd be **** if he doesn't.

I know, but I'm holding out hope. Even if he is only back for the 2nd round or the WC Finals, I think he'd be more valuable than Mike Wilks or Linton Johnson. He is a sparkplug off the bench and gives us defense and shooting. Hopefully he gets to play, b/c he will increase our chances of winning a title.

Devin would still get a ring. Being off the playoff roster doesn't necessarily mean you're not part of the team anymore.




Playoff Roster:


1. Tony Parker
2. Beno Udrih
3. Manu Ginobili
4. Brent Barry
5. Bruce Bowen
6. Devin Brown
7. Glenn Robinson
8. Tim Duncan
9. Robert Horry
10. Rasho Nesterovic
11. Nazr Mohammed
12. Tony Massenburg




If Devin can't go, I'd replace him with Mike Wilks. We need big bodies for the playoffs, so T-Mass should make it. Sean Marks doesn't belong anywhere near the playoff roster. Glenn Robinson has to be included even if Devin is put on it, because he'd give us a lot more than what Wilks or Marks offer.

Harsh words Koko. I on the other hand have been very impressed with Sean and I would be pretty p'd if he isn't on the roster.

I guess that Massenburg would be better for the playoffs, since he is bigger and more fouls on big guys like Amare and Shaq, but Marks has impressed me much more this season. Massenburg missed lay-ups, lets rebounds get away from him, and turns the ball over. However he is better defensively, and I guess that is what we need come playoff time.

Marks would be fine if he just didn't shoot the ball so damn much. He needs to understand his role, and look for his teammates before he chunks up jumpers. Supposedly he makes them in practice, but that doesn't really mean anything. I just personally think Marks is basically a weaker version of Robert Horry. Since we have Robert Horry on our team, I'd rather go with a tougher, more physical guy. But hey, don't get me wrong, Massenburg hasn't really done anything to merit a roster spot over Marks, but he's more of a banger and has that mean streak in him.

I posted this in a different thread, but it's very fitting here as well:

Not good news. Hopefully Devin's results from the doctor come back good, but it sounds as if he's probably not going to be on the playoff roster. That's a damn shame too.
