i can go on and on but you people here know how it and best belief to stop lying to yourself on how DISSATISFIED you are with pops coaching ....let go stop lying to yourself and giving that goddamn coach all the fucking excuses in the world ....

[ChumpDumper]

Which emotional player was put in the doghouse?

[KenziE]

Which emotional player was put in the doghouse?
have you seen anyone showing extra emotion out there on the court ?? nobody shows no fuckin emotion ... did you see blair during his college days? check out youtube how he shows his emotion and now its all on check ...

no emotion = no energy

[Kori Ellis]

Pop doesn't send players with emotion/energy to the doghouse.

[EricB]

Who should be the coach instead?

[EricB]

showing emotion is overrated.

Does Duncan get benched cause he doesn't show emotion?

[KenziE]

oh yeah thats why evrybody said " when GHILL stole the ball from kobe and he did a windmill hes goin to the doghouse " thats not showboating its having fun .... theyre not having fun out there with all the corporate approach BS that pop wants ....its one thing to be cocky but showing some SWAGGER and emotion is something else

Was Hill actually put in the doghouse?

[EricB]

Who should coach the team instead of coaches that are available?

[KenziE]

showing emotion is overrated.

Does Duncan get benched cause he doesn't show emotion?

now TD is diffrent and hes the poker type player and you know that

[superjames1992]

Yeah, our four-time NBA Championship-winning coach is what's keeping us from an NBA Title. Give me a break. Pop is a great coach, whether our fans think so or not.

[EricB]

now TD is diffrent and hes the poker type player and you know that


So when Blair showed emotion the other night against OKC pop benched him the rest of the way and tonight cause of that?

[KenziE]

Who should coach the team instead of coaches that are available?

somebody that will let play mahimi alongside TIm wud be a good start and not RIDE Duncan until the wheels fall off

[L.I.T]

Oh yeah, I keep forgetting that chest pounding, barking, trash-talking screamers win games.

The Pop hatred on this forum at times is so over-the-top it's become unintentionally satirical.

[EricB]

somebody that will let play mahimi alongside TIm wud be a good start and not RIDE Duncan until the wheels fall off


? So Duncan plays too much?

Who should coach em? I mean you obviously have someone in mind.

no idea whats on POPs mind what im saying is players are all out there holding their emotions even the way they high five its all so mechanical

[KenziE]

who said about chest pounding and all that shit? your way off the point ....

[ChumpDumper]

no idea whats on POPs mind what im saying is players are all out there holding their emotions even the way they high five its all so mechanicalNo, you said that players that showed emotion like Hill and Blair did are put in the doghouse by Pop.

Surely you can document their dropoff in minutes after these infractions.

[EricB]

no idea whats on POPs mind what im saying is players are all out there holding their emotions even the way they high five its all so mechanical

You're the one bitching about 'mechanical emotion'.

[EricB]

[KenziE]

So your just talking out of your ass then.


im talikin about FOOLS GOLD

[TJastal]

The whole team's morale and energy went straight to the toilet after that thunder game. They really burned themselves out trying to win that game without Timmy and Poop running a shortened rotation.

What's sad is this team was on a huge roll after that monumental laker victory but that wasn't good enough for Pop, he just had to be the hero and and tinker around with a good thing.

And everyone on this board was praising jesus for Poop's decision to hold Duncan out of the thunder game, well you morons got your wish now enjoy the results.

[ChumpDumper]

im talikin about FOOLS GOLDYou're talking about Hill's being put in the doghouse after he dunked against the Lakers.

How many games did Hill miss after that?

[KenziE]

so thats how you protect your beloved coach POP ... hehehe right on keep lying to yourselfs how dissastisfied you are with his coaching this year and run with all the excuses you can think of ....2 words FOOLS GOLD

So who has gone to the dog house for showing emotion?

Give us some examples.

[TJastal]

LOL. If not for a lucky ping pong ball POOP wouldn't have even been a coach. He only "decided" to coach once he found out they won the grand prize lottery pick of the decade.

STFU

[KenziE]

:lmao

Great logic.

So who has gone to the dog house for showing emotion?

whos showing natural game time emotion on the court? nobody coz its all on check ....

blair pre season doesnt count after he did that dunk ... he wasnt sent to the doghouse but he sure did not dunk the ball for a while

[L.I.T]

yeah and he cud be stock @ 4 if he doesnt change his stubborn ways


keep on lying to yourself hehehe

Epic logic fail there. Almost as bad as your epic failure to back up any of your "points" with any sort of defense.

Just keep lying to yourself there.

Right ... Pop didn't do any coaching these past 15 years. It was all Tim Duncan. Pop just sat back and stuck his thumb up his ass while Duncan won Titles. Sure...


STFU
Classy, don't ya think?

[KenziE]

LOL. If not for a lucky ping pong ball POOP wouldn't have even been a coach. He only "decided" to coach once he found out they won the grand prize lottery pick of the decade.

hehehe very true what if Phil jax was coaching Timmy d? maybe Tim wud have more than 4 already

i love the spurs i dont know about the coach

[ChumpDumper]

LOL. If not for a lucky ping pong ball POOP wouldn't have even been a coach. He only "decided" to coach once he found out they won the grand prize lottery pick of the decade.

STFUDidn't he start coaching 20 games into the season before the Spurs won the Duncan lottery?

[superjames1992]

I don't know how Manu gets minutes. He shows a lot of emotion at times.

not sure whos post you reading but ur always off the point KABAYAN .... your coach pop is messing up the spurs thats my point

[superjames1992]

not sure whos post you reading but ur always off the point KABAYAN .... your coach pop is messing up the spurs thats my point
If messing them up equals four NBA Titles and the best record in the NBA since the late 90s, then I'm okay with that.

[KenziE]

hahahai pity you people keep lying to yourself one day youll just burst up hehehe you know how u hate what pop is doin now hes an epic fail if there ever was one

[Interrohater]

This thread doesn't succeed.

:lol

Someone didn't step up their game.

OP, normally, a team takes on the personality of their floor leader, which just happens to be arguably the most stoic player to ever play the game. Showboating is low-class, so it's easy to see Pop's opinion of that, however, our players show emotion when the situation deems it necessary. I've always seen our players keep a lid on emotion until 4th quarter heroics are needed. They know it's a 48 minute game and an 82 game season, so why get worked up in the first half? We have a very emotional team, but I highly doubt they throw their pabst blue ribbon at the TV as you do.

[KenziE]

cant wait for POP to play FINLEY again when he comes back for maybe i dunno 30 mins a night hahahah

well see people then maybe ill check back on you guys how ull feel by that time

[superjames1992]

hahahai pity you people keep lying to yourself one day youll just burst up hehehe you know how u hate what pop is doin now hes an epic fail if there ever was one
I didn't know that "epic fails" equaled four NBA titles. I hope Pop fails more, then!!! :lobt: :flag: :lobt: :flag: :lobt: :flag: :lobt:

[TJastal]

If messing them up equals four NBA Titles and the best record in the NBA since the late 90s, then I'm okay with that.

Why do you think POOP's coaching extension coincidentally runs exactly through Duncan's?

Could it be because... *gasp* he knows he would be exposed for the fraud he is trying to coach a Duncan-less team once TD rides off into the sunset?

[L.I.T]

not sure whos post you reading but ur always off the point KABAYAN .... your coach pop is messing up the spurs thats my point

Listen PARE, I recommend you read what you post first before questioning other peoples reading comprehension. It will help you in future discussions.

Just some helpful advice, take it as you will.

And as to 'my' Pop messing up the Spurs; well as I said: It's almost unintentionally satirical how overwrought some posters get.

Pop is by no means a perfect coach (no coach is), but he is one of the best in the league and in league history. And if your criticism is "he no like players who show emotion"...well. Ok then.

[KenziE]

lemme ask you do you think POP is doing a good job with the team we have right now with his lineup and SMALL ball approach ... how do you feel honestly? coz i aint sure happy seein Rj playin 4 when hes agaisnt aldridge or somebody like Love down there when we have tools like ian that we can use

[EricB]

Uh actually Avery Johnson Sean Elliott and David Robinson went to Pop and told him to fire Hill or they were gonna go public demanding his firing.

Learn your history kid.

I'm sure the decision to insert himself as coach was at their bequest as well? FAIL.

[EricB]

Robinson Elliott and Avery loved Pop.

Elliott and Pop are good friends.

Not as close as Duncan and Pop, but close.

If the other team is big and were playing small ball then yes I'm pissed, but if the other team is one big and 4 guards, then no I'm not.

[easy7]

Everything was falling for the Bobcats and nothing for the Spurs, that and turnovers is why the game was lost. I mean the Spurs were 3 of 24 from the 3 point line. Even their towel boy had 6 points... Sheesh, Pop can coach his ass off but if the shots don't fall in they are going to lose.

[androck]

[KenziE]

ok i understand thats how i feel and with regards to FINLEY getting more mins than he shud? whats your stand on that one?

[KenziE]

Do you expect to win every game?

i expect him to play bigger when needed ....

[TIMMYD!]

I don't care if Pop doesn't let his players show emotions, but what I am worried about is the lack of urgency this team shows when playing average teams which only ends up in a letdown.

[ChumpDumper]

I'm sure the decision to insert himself as coach was at their bequest as well? FAIL.Wasn't that 20 games into the season before the Duncan lottery?

Yes or no.

[EricB]

ok i understand thats how i feel and with regards to FINLEY getting more mins than he shud? whats your stand on that one?

I think he should be limited to 5 to 10 minutes or none at all when he comes back.

[duncan228]

[KenziE]

I think he should be limited to 5 to 10 minutes or none at all when he comes back.


thats my point exactly ...can we agree then that He is NOT doin a good job if pop plays finley more than 10 mins? i mean whoever Finley is guarding is goin off for like 20 points atleast most nights ....

[KenziE]

Duncan shows plenty of emotion. :lol

[KenziE]

it means not letting Finley guard Nowitzki Rj guard aldridge or finely guard the opposing center

[androck]

it means not letting Finley guard Nowitzki Rj guard aldridge or finely guard the opposing center

I still don't understand what you are suggesting. You want Tim, McDyess/Blair, + another big on the floor at all times?

[EricB]

it means not letting Finley guard Nowitzki Rj guard aldridge or finely guard the opposing center

RJ actually guard Dirk well the last time.


Finley's role this year before the injury had greatly been reduced, so again, I don't see your point.

[KenziE]

I still don't understand what you are suggesting. You want Tim, McDyess/Blair, + another big on the floor at all times?

im suggesting that we use the tools we have as a team and let the other teams worry about our strengths we let the other team adjust to us than us adjusting to them all the time which then throws to waste all the off season moves we did .... i mean ratliff that dude even if plays 5 mins or 3mins he almost always gets 1 block and it starts our offense most often than not ... teams know that we arent athletic and we play small all the time .... time to change that because we have the talent to do so

[phyzik]

Some newbs bitch about being treated unfairly becase they are new on a forum. This thread is one of those reasons. Newbs are fucking idiots.

So it was the players' fault Pop inexplicably benched Duncan and used an 8 man rotation in a tough OT game against the thunder with no shotblockers or rebounders that they looked exhausted against the bobcats even on a night of rest?

Poor Antonio got left out to dry as the only interior presence in that game, and now all of a sudden he's hurt and can't play more than 3 minutes.. I suppose that's his fault too..

[KenziE]

It's pop's fault McDyess injured himself (allegedly we don't know if he is or not) on a errant pass from Manu?

He didn't hurt his legs, if he hut anything its his shoulder.

That doesn't get hurt from getting run ragged of all of 20 some odd minutes the other night.

Yes... Exactly what Im saying.

Last I fucking checked, Basketball was a fucking team game. Relying on one player (ie. Duncan) isnt going to be good for championships. Someone needs to step up besides him. Pop was trying to force that and see who he has that will do it.

You dont run Duncan into the ground at this point. Just make the playoffs.

If your a supposed "Spurs fan" you would know this by now you fucktard. Make the playoffs healthy. Thats it. Fuck the regular season and positioning. Playoffs are what count.

He was hung out to dry by Popovich as the only interior guy holding up the fort for stretches of that game. I don't care if it was only 5 minutes, that is utter bullshit.

Funny how the very next game he can only go for 3 minutes. I'm sure you'll claim its a coincidence. Shit happens, right?

Regular season is regular season. It counts in the playoffs. Not now.

In your analogy, you dont set the house on fire to bring up the heat unless its a last option. That last option is the playoffs.

So you don't know he's hurt your just pulling that out of your ass, right?

McDyess did just fine too as the only interior guy.

He had 13 and 9 in 25 minutes.

I'll take that every freaking night if thats what he brought.

So Duncan plays only his THIRD 40 minute game all year long, and all of a sudden we "need other guys to step up?". Please.... that's nonsense. We have Parker, Ginobili, and Jefferson plus a good supporting cast. That's the biggest bunch of baloney I've read yet tonight.

[EricB]

^^^

sure but the way POP is coaching we aint goin far in the playoffs ....and regular season is wer you make chemistry for the championship run so in hindsight regular season is still as important as winning the ring


You need to close your computer and go to bed.

[Chieflion]

You are blaming the loss on Pop? Figures. The coach is always the scapegoat when the team can't put the ball into the basket and can't make shots.

[ChumpDumper]

You are blaming the loss on Pop? Figures. The coach is always the scapegoat when the team can't put the ball into the basket and can't make shots.Their legs were tired from not playing the day before!

[200 miles]

it is what it is FOOLS GOLD
a fool for a coach with a golden line up

all goin to waste the way things are being handled .... thanks POP atleast im true to my self i aint mad at you but i dont know about you leading this team to the championship

Fire Pop.

Hire AJ.

Is this what you want to see?

[KenziE]

You need to close your computer and go to bed.

why dont you go to bed and keep lying to yourself that pop is a good coach

why dont you go to bed and keep lying to yourself that pop is a good coach

The ENTIRE League disagrees with your couch assesment. The guy is a HOF coach second only to Phil Jackson, and that could be argued within the last decade.

Deal with the fact your a fucking moron and go to bed.

[Chieflion]

why dont you go to bed and keep lying to yourself that pop is a good coach
Only Spurs fans don't appreciate Pop. Be glad Pop is willing to coach, most teams don't have a HOF bound coach on their team. It is a luxury.

[EricB]

Their legs were tired from not playing the day before!

Their legs were tired from not playing Ian Mensah White against the Thunder.

[TJastal]

So let's review the logic of the imbecile, phyzik.

Tim Duncan is fortunate enough to only have to play an average of 32 mins per game this year thanks to his great teammates that have stayed healthy and a superior bench (best in the league by far).

Meanwhile, Kobe Bryant has to put in 37 per game w/ lakers and Dirk 36 per/game for mavs. Yet I don't see these two guys sitting out games in order to "force other guys to step up", even though their teammates are clearly lacking or they wouldn't need to put in a full 4-5 mins more per game.

Gotta love the Popolagist logic at work here.

[KenziE]

ill hear back from you morons who lie to yourself when FINLEY starts playing major minutes again .....and if not then ill eat crow in a sec no problems ......

yeah pop is still a fool with a golden lineup until he changes his stubborn ways

[draft87]

POP is the FOOL
the line up is GOLDEN

no doubts about it, the coach is whats gonna keep us from winning and getting any rhythm this year .....

there is no, more UNRELAXED set of players than the SPURS coz of their fuckin coach .... how can u win games if in the back of your head you show some emotion you'll head to the doghouse !!! what kind of sys tem is that fucking players arent allowed to show emotion ..... i dont even wanna go to the lineup decisions and the waste of talents that he does with benching of certain players ....

i can go on and on but you people here know how it and best belief to stop lying to yourself on how DISSATISFIED you are with pops coaching ....let go stop lying to yourself and giving that goddamn coach all the fucking excuses in the world ....

In English, please? wait, are you "rrrufff"-ing or howling like a dog? Are you the one in the doghouse? Do you have too many emotions in the back of your head?

Which emotional player was put in the doghouse?
-response-

have you seen anyone showing extra emotion out there on the court ?? nobody shows no fuckin emotion ... did you see blair during his college days? check out youtube how he shows his emotion and now its all on check ...

no emotion = no energy

Way to answer the question.....Dude, I think you're watching the wrong game. I'm pretty sure we don't have a player named Have you seen anyone showing extra emotion out there on the court ?? nobody shows no fuckin emotion ... did you see blair during his college days? check out youtube how he shows his emotion and now its all on check ...

See, all you have to do is watch real Spurs basketball and everything will be better. The real NBA is so much easier to handle. Teams don't have to win 81 games to win a title. ....and the players' names are much shorter.




oh yeah thats why evrybody said " when GHILL stole the ball from kobe and he did a windmill hes goin to the doghouse " thats not showboating its having fun .... theyre not having fun out there with all the corporate approach BS that pop wants ....its one thing to be cocky but showing some SWAGGER and emotion is something else

Man, are you ok? Do you hear voices? Are voices telling you that you can't enjoy the game of basketball? It's ok to get help. Really.
You can help yourself by googling,
" when GHILL stole the ball from kobe and he did a windmill hes goin to the doghouse "
You are the only one that comes up in the search as having said. Nobody else said that. Nobody else could probably construct such a sentence.

If you equally clean up both your thought process and language the whole world should together for you. Like, you'll probably have an epiphany about player's being human and that players most likely DON'T enjoy losing, especially getting their butt kicked so when there's a crappy loss you're not going to see the team jumping with joy.
"Oh my god I can't believe I thought that Manu Ginobili should be smiling and laughing while DeJuan Blair slapped the backboard to just totally enjoy playing in a game where they can't get the offense rolling and there's no way to drop that many points to catch in the amount of time that's left. How could I have possibly thought that all the team needed to do was tell Pop, "fuck you Pop I'm having fun whether you like it or not cuz like that's my opinion man" and suddenly the other team won't make baskets. Wow it's so much cooler living life when I'm in touch with reality and I have a feel for professional basketball culture. Now I can take the wins and the losses while looking forward to the next chance at success. I no longer have to waste everyone on SpursTalk and my time just cause I'm clueless. I'm proud to take up space in this world."



Either that our you can just go find another team to whine about. No fan has ever not watched a bummer or two by their team.

Be careful, if you don't chill you might go in the SpursTalk doghouse. RAISE THE BAR.

I'll offer an attempt to raise the bar. I propose a new rule,

If a SpursTalk member can not coherently define 'industry talk' or journalist jargon like 'corporate approach' then said member is forbidden from using said term as a weapon in a thoughtless, unintelligible, gut-reaction verbal assault fueled by a lack of understanding of -basketball, Spurs basketball, basketball, and anything basketball related that is more profound than put-the-ball-in-the-basket-
and against the team they supposedly love, said member will be punished the administrators in a policy modeled after the NBAs punishment guidelines regarding drug use. Players can come forward the first time and receive treatment without penalty but subsequent violations result in penalty.

Penalties:
1) first time- fine and mandatory therapy
2) second time- fine, suspension and mandatory therapy
3) third time- indefinite suspension reviewable every two years

Fines will be collected by the admins and distributed in a manner similar to the league's luxury tax policy.

Violaters who Lower the Bar will pay SpursTalk designated penalties based on severity of offense. The funds collected will be distributed to members who have not violated the Board's anti-bar lowering policy will be paid based on how well they called out the violator for said violation. This will give incentive to Raise the Bar and deter numbskulls from Lowering the Bar.

notice how he goes back to his previous "points" every time he gets owned by either Ericb or chump? Dude, Popovich makes mistakes. He's not a perfect coach, no one is. I also notice your never ending criticism of tony Parker, as if he's some kind of cancer with all your trade his overrated ass comment

:lol

Different positions, different situations.

Look at Kobe's production the last few games.

Look at dirks.

Both have dropped in production vs minutes because they are getting run into the ground.

why do you think the Spurs won against the Lakers?

what happened last year going into the playoffs with the Spurs? who was tired/hurt?

Do you want that again?

I'll gladly take a 6th or 7th seed if it means our team is at max health come playoffs. thats when it counts.

If your stupid enough not to understand that, its no sweat off my brow. Just another gullible wanna-be spurs fan wanting regular season wins that dont count.

Well let's see, it proves that you've constantly seen Pop take underrated Spurs squads, overmatched Spurs squads, and everything in between and make them into winners, if not champions, by playoff time. You also know by now that regular season records and playoff positioning don't mean jack to Pop--that's never been his philosophy. The only difference this year is that we have so many "new" pieces added to this team. However, if you think Pop's going to change his coaching philosophy (especially this late in the career of his cornerstone player, Timmy Duncan), you are the delusional one.

It's fucking ridiculous that here we just got through waxing the defending champs (no, I don't care that Kobe was injured), and we're a mere 1.5 games out of first in one of the toughest divisions in the league with a 4 time champion coach and people like you continually second guess Coach Pop.

Oh, and Spurs fan since '94, btw.

okey true that but saying what i see NOW is second guessing continually? im just stating what i see that his philosophy needs to be tweaked a lil ...and he just did by having a rookie in his starting line up so me being delusional is not too far off from pop maybe bending his rules some more for the team to move forward .....sometimes you have to roll with the constant changing of the game even bit by bit ...yeah in 94 all i see here in the philippines was Bulls games(never rooted for them) and before that i was a Larry Bird fan

Not saying you're continually second guessing, just some people in general. Maybe his philosophy needs to be tweaked--maybe it doesn't. You bring up a good point about Blair in the lineup, but despite the popular belief Pop doesn't hold his rooks back just for the fact that they're first year men (remember Duncan, and even Tony Parker later in his rookie campaign?).

Regardless, the one thing you can be sure of as a head coach in this league is that once you start shifting your core philosophies too much, shit start to go south. Quickly. Honestly, Pop is better off doing what he's been doing all these years mainly because it's worked well in the past. So let him tinker, and let him play with minutes and lineups--I assure you he'll have a plan he feels will maximize the team's potential by money time, but almost certainly not before the all star break. That's just not the way Pop does business.

Heh, that's rough in the philippines in 94. I would've been a Spurs fan sooner, but I was only 5 at the time :P At least I was living in SA though, so I had a leg up. Lived overseas in high school though--getting up at 2 AM to watch Spurs playoff games is rough lol.

i'm hoping you are right on that one about the plan after the break ...its couple more games then we will all find out ... im just a regular basketball fan that's giving my opinion out here im not a wannabe whos trying to be all knowing and above the game itself .... just stating my frustrations here on how i see things ....

i guess thats it for me see yall later after we beat the grizz then everyone wud get along for a lil bit ;)

[LoneStarState'sPride]

It's all good man, it's always like this for us Spurs fans this time of year--for as long as I can remember lol. True, we'll see how it goes after the break.

Take it easy man. Beat The Hell Outta memphis!

:lol

Someone didn't step up their game.

OP, normally, a team takes on the personality of their floor leader, which just happens to be arguably the most stoic player to ever play the game. Showboating is low-class, so it's easy to see Pop's opinion of that, however, our players show emotion when the situation deems it necessary. I've always seen our players keep a lid on emotion until 4th quarter heroics are needed. They know it's a 48 minute game and an 82 game season, so why get worked up in the first half? We have a very emotional team, but I highly doubt they throw their pabst blue ribbon at the TV as you do.



lemme ask you do you think POP is doing a good job with the team we have right now with his lineup and SMALL ball approach ... how do you feel honestly? coz i aint sure happy seein Rj playin 4 when hes agaisnt aldridge or somebody like Love down there when we have tools like ian that we can use

Why can't you just make this the OP? What the hell does this have to do with your beloved, "fools gold"? Are you a really old person who used to be named Smeagle? Maybe I'm being insensitive and you have a seriously problem that I shouldn't poke fun at. Are you autistic with compulsions to use elementary metaphors to relieve stress?

Learn your history kid.

Yeah seriously, TJastal. You just claimed that in December 1996 Popovich fired Hill to be a coach because he just found out that he won the grand prize lottery pick of the decade when the lucky ping pong ball was pulled in May 1997? Nice job, way to raise the bar.

ok i understand thats how i feel and with regards to FINLEY getting more mins than he shud? whats your stand on that one?


i expect him to play bigger when needed ....


thats my point exactly ...can we agree then that He is NOT doin a good job if pop plays finley more than 10 mins? i mean whoever Finley is guarding is goin off for like 20 points atleast most nights ....


it means not letting Finley guard Nowitzki Rj guard aldridge or finely guard the opposing center


DUDE, Finley hasn't even come back yet. What the fuck are you doing wasting everyone's time arguing that Pop fucked up a rotation THAT HASN'T EVEN HAPPENED YET??!?!!?!? This is so stupid. I mean, at least you're dropping the pyrite crap. God, you're so full of yourself. The Spurs lose a game and it's about how YOU are affected. You think they like losing? You think the players think Popovich is "Fool's Gold"? You think the players would laugh at you if you tried to spew this incoherent baby-talk about how the Spurs would win 82 games if only they didn't have FOOLS GOLD for a coach? Well, sorry, at least you dropped the FOOLS GOLD thing. But modulating into Michael Finley's role on the team is not any better. It may be worse since AGAIN, HE HASN'T EVEN PLAYED YET!
You wouldn't have made so many enemies if you just said,

"Hey this team looks really good on paper. At times they play with brilliance. I think the reason they are inconsistent and haven't won 32 games yet is because Gregg Popovich isn't using rotations that bring out their strengths."

Yeah we know you couldn't actually construct three coherent sentences but you also have the totally obnoxious element of "I'm totally right. I'm right. I know I'm right. I'm totally right. I'm a better coach than Gregg Popovich. I would say it to his face and take the team if I had the chance."
So we just think that you are the actual FOOL in this thread.


it all goes back to POP being a FOOL by wasting the GOLDEN line up that we have ....


so fools gold bottomline


Oops, my bad. Yes, the FOOL'S GOLD metaphor is absolutely one of the most stupid rant in recent weeks. There are so many idiots on the board that shit their pants at a loss. Out of all the weirdos with emotional problems and disassociation with reality, this has the elements(no pun intended, not that you'd get it anyway) of a championship, retarded fail.

1) the catchy metaphor that is supposedly emphasizing your opinion of Gregg Popovich is lame. It doesn't make sense.

2) maybe in your head there's a decent idea but we'll never know because your writing is just as awful as your metaphor.

3) if your thought process is this messy then we can only guess the same goes for your knowledge of basketball

4) furthering an already bad metaphor by calling the team the real gold. you've ironically 'burned' yourself by exposing how stupid the original FOOLS GOLD-POPOVICH is. Do you ever know what the fuck FOOLS GOLD means? Pop has been here since before Duncan. Pop's only losing season was during the 96-97 "Murphy's Law" season. Pop's had success with full rosters and with injured stars. Pop's always had a winning season whether it was with a cast of journeymen, lottery picks, late draft picks, free agents, undrafted players, past-their-prime veterans, past-past-their-prime veterans, offensively handicapped players, star vetarans, etc. This is not a losing season. Are we a losing team right now? How long were we sub .500? Are we going to be a losing team next week? Next month? End of the season? Are we going to make a deep playoff run? Are we going to be healthy? Are we going to win a championship? ....The first few questions are NO. So shove the FOOLS GOLD. The last few questions are answered by QUIT THIS FREAKING OUT SHIT AND EITHER SHUT UP OR GO BE A LAKERS FAN.

You better NOT EVER criticize a player on this message board. Seriously, don't even think of it. I'm sick of you idiots getting all high and mighty thinking you're special so we should deal with your crappy threads. You claim the team is gold and coach Pop is FOOLS GOLD, then DON'T EVER FUCKING TRY TO BLAME A PLAYER FOR A LOSS!

Put your 'money' where your mouth is.

[draft87]

Uh, when's the last time i made a trade parker's overrated ass comment?


HAHAHA. probably when Parker got out of the really, really bad funk.

band. wagon.

[draft87]

EXACTLY my point TJ very true, you can be a diehard fan but pls be realistic and true to yourself


Realistic? KenziE, how you can possibly claim that what you write represents reality? And what the hell does "be true to yourself" mean regarding SpursTalk, NBA basketball from a fan's perspective, and NBA basketball from a Spurs fan's perspective?

[TJastal]

Popovich may not have known for sure the spurs were going to win the lottery of the decade but he had to have known there was a good chance they could land the top pick and player of the decade, Tim Duncan. And he knew he'd have Robinson back at the same time. So really.. same difference.

Spurs had the 3rd best chance of any team to win Tim Duncan in the lottery thanks to PoOP tanking the rest of that season, or thanks to his lousy coaching if you prefer that theory.

Thanks for correcting my "facts" but it doesn't change the fact that Popovich set himself into a GRAVY situation and coincidentally is leaving once the gravy train derails.

[draft87]

it is what it is FOOLS GOLD
a fool for a coach with a golden line up

all goin to waste the way things are being handled .... thanks POP atleast im true to my self i aint mad at you but i dont know about you leading this team to the championship


Again, please explain what you are being true to? And what are other members not being true to? Or HOW are they not being true to themselves?

And, voila, I finally found the reason for all this nonsense. You actually don't even know what "FOOL'S GOLD" means!

Look, there's two elements:
1) the object that looks like gold but isn't
2) the fool who was stupid enough to make up his mind before looking closer


incorrect: "A FOOL for a coach with a GOLDEN line up"

first of all, WHO is the fool for a coach? The fans? OH WAIT, is this the mysterious "true to yourself" workshop you've been holding? That would explain why you keep saying "be true to yourself" ...like "don't be a fool for Popovich". EXCEPT that is not what the term "FOOL'S GOLD" means. From this perspective it would be, "Fan is a FOOL for thinking his coach is GOLDEN, but he isn't. The coach looks like gold but when you look closer he really isn't." The lineup(this is how it's spelled, nimrod) has nothing to do with the FOOLISHNESS.



Correct(but still incorrect): "The coach is a FOOL for thinking his lineup(again, not "line up", numbskull) is GOLDEN because they are not true gold."

This metaphor also FAILS because you think the lineup is golden. The person becomes a fool for mistaking the identity of an item. He believes something is gold by just by seeing it but should have looked closer to find the truth. Even through your unintelligible babble I can tell you don't think the roster(why don't you use this one, you can't really mess up the spelling unless you make it a cock)is

Here's how to properly use the term "fool's gold":

-----"KenziE is a total FOOL for thinking he has a GOLDEN theory about why the Spurs lost tonight, and that this loss means so much that we're doomed to have a terrible season therefore the only way to salvage the Tim Duncan era is to blame the coach by misusing the term 'fool's gold'.'"

Unfortunately tonight's loss is not to blamed on Coach Popovich. This one game is #38 of 82. There's no need to get all dramatic about welcome Armageddon. Kenzie also doesn't even know how to use the term "fool's gold."


----"KenziE is a total FOOL for thinking he is a GOLDEN Spurs fan who "knows shit about basketball" and the rest of the board will benefit from his knowledge."

KenziE actually just wasted our time with that nonsense. He really doesn't know what he's talking about so he's a fool for thinking that about himself.

[ChumpDumper]

Popovich may not have known for sure the spurs were going to win the lottery of the decade but he had to have known there was a good chance they could land the top pick and player of the decade, Tim Duncan. And he knew he'd have Robinson back at the same time. So really.. same difference.

Spurs had the 3rd best chance of any team to win Tim Duncan in the lottery thanks to PoOP tanking the rest of that season, or thanks to his lousy coaching if you prefer that theory.

Thanks for correcting my "facts" but it doesn't change the fact that Popovich set himself into a GRAVY situation and coincidentally is leaving once the gravy train derails.:lmao

U mad?

[TJastal]

Again, please explain what you are being true to? And what are other members not being true to? Or HOW are they not being true to themselves?

And, voila, I finally found the reason for all this nonsense. You actually don't even know what "FOOL'S GOLD" means!

Look, there's two elements:
1) the object that looks like gold but isn't
2) the fool who was stupid enough to make up his mind before looking closer


incorrect: "A FOOL for a coach with a GOLDEN line up"

oh yeah thats why evrybody said " when GHILL stole the ball from kobe and he did a windmill hes goin to the doghouse " thats not showboating its having fun .... theyre not having fun out there with all the corporate approach BS that pop wants ....its one thing to be cocky but showing some SWAGGER and emotion is something else

don't be stupid. san antonio isn't about swagger. go be a denver/dallas fan or something

[duhoh]

hehehe very true what if Phil jax was coaching Timmy d? maybe Tim wud have more than 4 already

i love the spurs i dont know about the coach

P-jax? no. timmeh owes his success with being being able to communicate with pop so well.

:nope

FAIL. First of all, some fan you are, I guess you missed the interview Popovich gave where he mentioned that his retirement from coaching would be dependent on factors NOT relating to Tim Duncan's retirement.
What's next? Are you going to say that Phil Jackson is a stooge for setting himself up to leave when Michael Jordan left? And then try to talk your way out of Phil coaching through the first retirement and not wanting to coach after 1998.

Is that your thing? You think everybody sucks so they have to scheme their way into beneficial situations? Do you use Rohypnol on dates?

Oh yeah, and same difference, eh?
So the Spurs are the same franchise of the decade with Keith Van Horn or Chauncey Billups INSTEAD of Tim Duncan?

So what you're saying is that Gregg Popovich thought exactly this, "OK, I'm going to fire Bob Hill so that I can be the coach and manage how much we lose. I'm going to tank enough games so that I'll have the THIRD WORST RECORD in the league. This way I'll have a 21.60% chance to get the #1 pick. BOSTON WILL TANK TOO. SO THEY'LL HAVE TWO CHANCES IN THE LOTTERY(27.51% + 8.80%= 36.31% BUT I AM WILLING TO RISK THE FUTURE OF MY FRANCHISE ON THE CHANCE OF GETTING Keith Van Horn, Chauncey Billups, Antonio Daniels, Tony Battie, Ron Mercer, Tim Thomas, Adonal Foyle, Tracy McGrady, Danny Fortson, Tariq Abdul-Wahad, or Austin Croshere INSTEAD OF TIM DUNCAN! I'LL NEED THE EXACT 4 PING PONG BALLS OUT OF 14 TO MATCH ANY OF THE 216 #s I OWN OUT OF 1,000 BUT I DON'T CARE IF I'M RISKING THE CAREER OF MY AGING TEAM, OR THAT IF I GET STUCK WITH TIM THOMAS, I AM GOING TO RISK EVERYTHING CAUSE I KNOW I'M GETTING TIM DUNCAN. BOSTON HAS 363 COMBINATIONS BUT FUCK IT. I'M PULLING THE SLEAZIEST MOVE IN MANAGEMENT THAT AMATEURS IN 13 YEARS WILL BE ABLE TO SEE THROUGH.

Yes, same difference.

[TJastal]

No, I'm not the one ranting about being wrong.

I'm not ranting I'm just clarifying a technical point that was raised. That point doesn't change my base theory that Pop more than likely wouldn't have gone into coaching if Tim Duncan wasn't set to be the #1 pick in the draft and the spurs in a prime position to snag him.

Oh please, of course he's gonna say that publically. He surely wouldn't want people to think otherwise now would he? Duh.

[TJastal]

I'm not sure what your ranting about in the 2nd half your argument, how is tanking the year "risking the future of the franchise"?

[draft87]

Oh please, of course he's gonna say that publically. He surely wouldn't want people to think otherwise now would he? Duh.

Numbskull. No one is saying he would say that publicly or privately. It's sarcasm. There's no way Popovich
a) goes into coaching on the premise that he will successfully tank enough games to win a lottery. I repeat, WIN A LOTTERY.
b) has the sense of security that if another team or two tank more than him he'll still win the lottery. What? Do you think he's a gambling addict?

"Hi, I'm Gregg Popovich. I decided to be a coach because I truly believed that I could make my team lose more than anyone else in the league, and even if I failed to lose the most, which I did, I would still win a longshot lottery against a Team that had two picks and much, much higher percentage of winning than me"
Do you now see how ridiculous your claim is?

That is so insulting to Gregg Popovich and the entire San Antonio Spurs organization.

There's a difference between wishing he coached a loss to the Bobcats and calling him a scumbag. You ought to be ashamed of yourself. And do go to try to dampen it and say, "Pop thought he had a good chance of being a coach in a good situation." BULLSHIT. You flat out called him a cheater. You have to own up to this. Man up.

The things in the previous post I said Popovich thought, you know the things you thought I was saying he actually thought, I said "he would have to think". I'm saying it's nuts. The fact that you believe is evidence of how nuts your 'theories' are. They're like dweeby X-Files level conspiracy junk.

Think about that. That's your level of enjoyment of the NBA. Of the San Antonio Spurs. You give your faithful attention to a team headed by a man you claim is a cheater. Is Barry Bonds your favorite baseball player?

[draft87]

I'm not sure what your ranting about in the 2nd half your argument, how is tanking the year "risking the future of the franchise"?


because there's a huge chance of NOT GETTING TIM DUNCAN. and instead getting Keith Van Horn, Antonio Daniels, Tony Battie, Ron Mercer, Tim Thomas, Adonal Foyle, Tracy McGrady, Danny Fortson, Tariq Abdul-Wahad, Austin Croshere,

You don't think that's a risk? Do you seriously believe that the last place team always wins the lottery? What the heck? What place was San Antonio in? THIRD LAST. Yes, Vancouver was excluded from 1st pick but there was still Boston and Popovich as a GM had to know that if they tanked too they had TWO chances in the draft. Look at the odds. At the point that Popovich took over they were playing poorly. They were also injured...but they were losing. There was no way to predict the success of the rest of the league but he had to know about Boston's situation. At the end of the season Boston was the ENTIRE WORLD'S PREDICTION for winning the lottery. Did you see #s in the other post? Do you know how the lottery works?

Do you know the history or teams who win the lottery's rank? Do you know the history of the last place team winning the lottery?

I don't think you do. Otherwise we wouldn't be wasting time on this offensive garbage.

It's a theory of mine and I don't really care if you find it insulting to Popovich or your mother or your dog or the hookers you have on your speed dial.

You say its nuts, I say its a defenite possibility that it could have been a factor weighing into his decision. Funny how his contract runs out at the same time as Duncan's huh? I guess that was just pure luck that happened.

[apalisoc_9]

LOL they wish they were owning me. Deep down, they know all is not right with Popovich's coaching but they will defend him to the bitter end.

whatever you say:rolleyes.

:lol

Someone didn't step up their game.

OP, normally, a team takes on the personality of their floor leader, which just happens to be arguably the most stoic player to ever play the game. Showboating is low-class, so it's easy to see Pop's opinion of that, however, our players show emotion when the situation deems it necessary. I've always seen our players keep a lid on emotion until 4th quarter heroics are needed. They know it's a 48 minute game and an 82 game season, so why get worked up in the first half? We have a very emotional team, but I highly doubt they throw their pabst blue ribbon at the TV as you do.




Why can't you just make this the OP? What the hell does this have to do with your beloved, "fools gold"? Are you a really old person who used to be named Smeagle? Maybe I'm being insensitive and you have a seriously problem that I shouldn't poke fun at. Are you autistic with compulsions to use elementary metaphors to relieve stress?

Yeah seriously, TJastal. You just claimed that in December 1996 Popovich fired Hill to be a coach because he just found out that he won the grand prize lottery pick of the decade when the lucky ping pong ball was pulled in May 1997? Nice job, way to raise the bar.

Uh actually Avery Johnson Sean Elliott and David Robinson went to Pop and told him to fire Hill or they were gonna go public demanding his firing.

Learn your history kid.




Copy/paste the same thing? Well, allow me to use the same thing as well, USE THIS AS YOUR ORIGINAL POST. The fool's gold thing is douche's gold as this point. Come on, you don't want to end up a "poor's man's SequSpur" do you?













DUDE, Finley hasn't even come back yet. What the fuck are you doing wasting everyone's time arguing that Pop fucked up a rotation THAT HASN'T EVEN HAPPENED YET??!?!!?!? This is so stupid. I mean, at least you're dropping the pyrite crap. God, you're so full of yourself. The Spurs lose a game and it's about how YOU are affected. You think they like losing? You think the players think Popovich is "Fool's Gold"? You think the players would laugh at you if you tried to spew this incoherent baby-talk about how the Spurs would win 82 games if only they didn't have FOOLS GOLD for a coach? Well, sorry, at least you dropped the FOOLS GOLD thing. But modulating into Michael Finley's role on the team is not any better. It may be worse since AGAIN, HE HASN'T EVEN PLAYED YET!
You wouldn't have made so many enemies if you just said,

"Hey this team looks really good on paper. At times they play with brilliance. I think the reason they are inconsistent and haven't won 32 games yet is because Gregg Popovich isn't using rotations that bring out their strengths."

Yeah we know you couldn't actually construct three coherent sentences but you also have the totally obnoxious element of "I'm totally right. I'm right. I know I'm right. I'm totally right. I'm a better coach than Gregg Popovich. I would say it to his face and take the team if I had the chance."
So we just think that you are the actual FOOL in this thread.




Oops, my bad. Yes, the FOOL'S GOLD metaphor is absolutely one of the most stupid rant in recent weeks. There are so many idiots on the board that shit their pants at a loss. Out of all the weirdos with emotional problems and disassociation with reality, this has the elements(no pun intended, not that you'd get it anyway) of a championship, retarded fail.

1) the catchy metaphor that is supposedly emphasizing your opinion of Gregg Popovich is lame. It doesn't make sense.

2) maybe in your head there's a decent idea but we'll never know because your writing is just as awful as your metaphor.

3) if your thought process is this messy then we can only guess the same goes for your knowledge of basketball

4) furthering an already bad metaphor by calling the team the real gold. you've ironically 'burned' yourself by exposing how stupid the original FOOLS GOLD-POPOVICH is. Do you ever know what the fuck FOOLS GOLD means? Pop has been here since before Duncan. Pop's only losing season was during the 96-97 "Murphy's Law" season. Pop's had success with full rosters and with injured stars. Pop's always had a winning season whether it was with a cast of journeymen, lottery picks, late draft picks, free agents, undrafted players, past-their-prime veterans, past-past-their-prime veterans, offensively handicapped players, star vetarans, etc. This is not a losing season. Are we a losing team right now? How long were we sub .500? Are we going to be a losing team next week? Next month? End of the season? Are we going to make a deep playoff run? Are we going to be healthy? Are we going to win a championship? ....The first few questions are NO. So shove the FOOLS GOLD. The last few questions are answered by QUIT THIS FREAKING OUT SHIT AND EITHER SHUT UP OR GO BE A LAKERS FAN.

You better NOT EVER criticize a player on this message board. Seriously, don't even think of it. I'm sick of you idiots getting all high and mighty thinking you're special so we should deal with your crappy threads. You claim the team is gold and coach Pop is FOOLS GOLD, then DON'T EVER FUCKING TRY TO BLAME A PLAYER FOR A LOSS!

Put your 'money' where your mouth is.

cheer up draft87 its just me calling POP a fool hahaha no worries dont sweat it

[jbspurs]

Listen PARE, I recommend you read what you post first before questioning other peoples reading comprehension. It will help you in future discussions.

Just some helpful advice, take it as you will.

And as to 'my' Pop messing up the Spurs; well as I said: It's almost unintentionally satirical how overwrought some posters get.

Pop is by no means a perfect coach (no coach is), but he is one of the best in the league and in league history. And if your criticism is "he no like players who show emotion"...well. Ok then.


Pop is a good coach. The only thing He's lacking is Trust to young players.

[apalisoc_9]

hahaha i know he types like its the end of the world hahaha

cheer up draft87 its just me calling POP a fool hahaha no worries dont sweat it

And you create threads like we have been eliminated in the playoffs. I'm pretty sure what i have just said is more realistic.

[duhoh]

LOL this is why your name is Duhoh I take it? This is the absolute dumbest thing I've ever read in this forum, bar-none. Congratulations, that was quite an accomplishment. :toast

oh, sure. like your logic is full of win right? :toast

if you can see the kind of bond the timmeh and pop have, that is a huge part of them being able to successfully believe in themselves and their system.

morale is a tough place to examine i'm sure, but i can't name another player that had this deep of a relationship with a coach. please let me know if that's not the case. we've had plenty of players that respected their coaches, but so one case to my knowledge where coach and player are father-and-son-style.

that really shows how much trust tim has in his coach. that trust has turned into great communication, and into great success.

thank you for meaningfully responding to my previous post. :lol

[superjames1992]

This thread blows. Pop is a Hall of Fame coach.
