If I'm Pop, I'm not buying any of it. I'm stopping Dirk and I'm stopping Jet and I bet Barea and Bass can't do any of it again. It's up to them to prove that theory wrong.

I also agree. The Spurs can't focus on Barea much more than they did other than trying to rotate better, they won't leave Terry open or play Dirk one on one. Or as Mike Fisher put it at db.com:

DONUT 6: Having said that. … if Josh Howard is going to be a threat to score 25, who is supposed to guard Dirk?
It’s be nice for SA if Bowen could check Dirk.
They could really use Bowen on Josh.
In that previous meeting they needed Bowen on JJB.
On Saturday they used Bowen on Jet.
How many Bowens do they have? Unless they have four of them – and remember, this is a guy who was fading from the team’s rotation plans earlier this year – they don’t seem to have enough.
Now, can you count on 25 from Josh?
