Pop is an amazing coach. He has flaws though that are critical at times namely against LA.

CRICKETS!!!!

You pussies...

You sure were riding on pops nutz when they were beating up on teams with "small ball" and pop was getting accolades....

now all you pussies are hiding in terror...

this is what I've been screaming about....that Pop WILL NOT EVER HAVE THE BALLZ TO PLAY TALL...

That Pop is the biggest obstacle to the spurs winning a title....

Where are you poplovers?

Eventually it doesn't matter what happens, Pop is the best coach in the league (just visit Lakerground and ask anyone) and you're still an emo enlightened, prius drving prison guard.

I guess if we can't blame even 'the slightest thing' on our "Head Honcho" who doesn't seem to giva' flying fuck as to what anybody else thinks (for all we know) ... Then we must go on and continue to blame it on this wacked-up, condensed sheduling/season. Simple as that, folks. Okay? K. :hat

I think Pop is a great coach, but I can't defend the fact he won't even try a Duncan/Splitter lineup. Especially when the mismatches are so obvious. It truly is an enigma for the ages.

No need for damage control unless the Lakers win the next two against the Spurs.

It was important for Parker, Bonner and Mills to get some good minutes shooting bad shots and lets the Fakers know that we are spreading the floor effectively by limiting Splitter to 15 minutes of play.

Pop can take the blame for this loss. Still a great coach. Hes defintiely going to have to make adjustments if he faces the Lakers, or the Grizz in the playoffs, or its going to be another short playoff run.

Never mind the coaches and players polls that rate Pop as best in the league, clearly the OPs ownership of a mustang gives him the knowledge and basketball acumen to condemn Pop. They don't rate Pop as the best because of his charming personality, maybe you should defer to their opinion if you can't separate the forest and the trees.

All the Popsuckers that scoffed and tried to ridicule me when I said that Pop is still the biggest obstacle to the Spurs winning a title....

what is the reasoning now?
Where is the Coach of the year?

Bonner still the first "big" off the bench...

No sight of a TD/Tiago pairing....

Blair...6'7'' starting center ...

Being embarrassed by MIKE BROWN....MIKE FUCKIN' BROWN!

McRoberts posterizing Bonner....Pop pulls Bonner...Pop puts Bonner right back in...GENIUS!

No One on the Spurs with any desire...any fire...any balls...and Coach Pop didn't change anything...just kept the same rotation...the same everything....

This is what the Playoffs have in store...and this is exactly what happened last season...

Pop has had two seasons now with Splitter...and in two seasons...he has not been able to "find time" to try and integrate his only two players approaching 7 feet....this is the NBA where being tall is something that can't be taught...on top of that Splitter is not just some "serviceable' "blue collar" role player...he can actually be an asset by his mere presence on the court with his vision, passing, and basketball IQ...but fuckhead coach has pissed away two seasons....

This seasons playoffs are just about here and fuckhead coach is right on cue to get embarrassed again....

COTY....:lmao

I think what limits Pop is his simulator crew mentality. He values system above players which any former player and current coach will realize doesn't make sense. Using his system he's won but I think if he was more of a player's coach he would have won more.

TheSkeptic

04-19-2012, 03:32 PM

Is that bad coaching?

I'd say so when Blair/Bonner are the ones getting the nod. Even then I'd be fine with Splitter not starting if he played Manu-type minutes. The shift he played against Houston is a good example of how I'd prefer his minutes being distributed if he can't start.

Plain and simple, you need to play your best players and those best players need cohesiveness if for no other reason then so Pop has the option of throwing out the big line-up when we need stops and rebounds or for just keeping Tiago in the game with Tim when they're both rolling.

I know some people on here like the hustle and effort that Bonner and Blair put in, and I agree that Bonner's really been trying hard out there. While effort is nice, I think talent and height is more important in the playoffs. That said, it's too late for Splitter now. We'll have to just hope Bonner can make his shots this year and that Pop doesn't overplay him.

And for the record, nobody's claiming to be a better coach than Pop or anything (strawman much?). What most "haters" are saying is that he's making a mistake that'll significantly weaken our team when it matters. The Spurs may be able to still win it all even then but that doesn't necessarily mean that this big rotation was the correct one.

Playoffs Blake. Playoffs. Those two are fine against most teams during the rest of the year. That said, I'd rather lose more often in the regular season and be more prepared for the post-season than have the #1 record in the West only to be ousted when we run into teams that have built a more solid foundation than us.

Blair lacks focus, discipline, and height.

Bonner's 3-point shooting tends to take a dip in the playoffs but he's alright for about 10-15 unless he's hot. He just plays too much.

Meanwhile, we have a legit big on the bench who plays defense, rebounds, and scores easy baskets without making too many mistakes. These are things that can be relied upon to ensure that your frontcourt isn't a total liability when it matters. The problem there is that Splitter hasn't had time to fully sort things out. And now it's too late.

We have evidence from last year and the year before (and history really) that an over reliance on 3-point shooting + a weak frontcourt is a recipe for disaster in the post-season. Nobody has won while using it with mediocre defense and while the Spurs have a better shot this year than other seasons they still don't have that kind of room for error.

Hopefully Bonner can produce like he's never done before and the 3 point shooting stays hot. The way this team has been managed, that's their best shot at getting number 5. Pop's a great coach. One of the best ever. But he's dropped the ball on this one and we'll just have to hope the team/match-ups can overcome that.

Pop is the best current coach in the NBA by far, and anyone that doesn't agree is delusional.

If he can't even get the respect he deserves from his own fanbase, where else is he gonna get it? Ridiculous.

It happens with every fan base. The Laker fans used to be merciless on Phil when he would not call timeouts and let the team "work through it". On and on, even with the best coaches.

Imo, however, we get mixed up between the two. Calling Pop a bad coach because he did not play Splitter and Duncan together enough is absolutely ridiculous. Stating that is not a wise move try this pairing without declaring Pop a horrible coach is I believe a legitimate complaint. Of course we can all question individual decisions, but on the whole, people who think Pop is truly a bad coach are basically divorced from reality, possibly psychotic. (Probably had great success coaching on the YMCA level; so of course its all so clear.)

TheSkeptic

04-19-2012, 05:43 PM

Because we've seen enough playoff basketball to know that if your defense isn't good and your frontcourt's a liability you'll probably get ousted sooner or later. TP has been great and our wings are fantastic but our big rotation is still a problem.

That and we've seen Bonner at work during the playoffs. Given his history, relying on him to this extent is just not a sound strategy no matter what the results are. It's a gamble and for the sake of the team I hope it pays off.

The team could somehow take it all but they would be winning in spite of these moves. Pop's a great coach but this decision is making things harder on the team. He's making a mistake or if you prefer he's got a blind spot. It happens to even the best from time to time.

Because he did the exact same thing last season and then he found himself being embarrassed by Lionel Hollins and a team that tanked to play the spurs knowing full well that they could demolish Blair and Bonner.

Pop helped Hollins by continuing with Blair and Bonner until the spurs were in a hole...and all his panicky moves to rectify what he fucked up so badly...were not nearly enough and were way too late.

So did he learn anything?

He did the same shit (so far) this season...and the laker beatdown last week was another slap in the face to this idiot.

So now he goes to L.A ...changes a few things...(sound familiar?) and here we are....

I am happy that everyone can see this...but of course....you Pop supporters will not believe what you have witnessed with your own eyes. Incredible.

Because he did the exact same thing last season and then he found himself being embarrassed by Lionel Hollins and a team that tanked to play the spurs knowing full well that they could demolish Blair and Bonner.

Pop helped Hollins by continuing with Blair and Bonner until the spurs were in a hole...and all his panicky moves to rectify what he fucked up so badly...were not nearly enough and were way too late.

So did he learn anything?

He did the same shit (so far) this season...and the laker beatdown last week was another slap in the face to this idiot.

So now he goes to L.A ...changes a few things...(sound familiar?) and here we are....

I am happy that everyone can see this...but of course....you Pop supporters will not believe what you have witnessed with your own eyes. Incredible.

His move to play Splitter might have even probably backfired. Splitter had no familiarity with the other guys and it showed.

This is true. The fact that pop had to switch to a lineup he never prepares to play against a likely playoffs match-up shows that he hasn't prepared the team for the playoffs.

The move was also important psychologically. The fact that you have two quality big man backing you up can help your confidence. Think about it another way. It's like going into a battle with a water pistol. You just wouldn't feel that confident.

I don't know about this.

Splitter was thrown into the fire and had a terrible game offensively but was still able to have enough of an impact that the Laker bigs couldn't take over from tip like they normally do. Plus I saw a fan on one of the other forums say that Splitter's pick and roll was playing a role in disrupting the Laker defense and causing their players to leave some of our shooters open in the first.

If Tim/Tiago is able to compete like that against Bynum/Gasol with Splitter having a really bad game, the ceiling of that frontcourt might be a little bit higher than we first thought. I think both of them are guys who do better when they're able to play with other bigs since it prevents either of them from having to do the heavy lifting as well.

With some chemistry and time to gel they could really build on that element of toughness and "you're not pushing us around"-ness that I saw in that first quarter. Not to mention how much better Tim looked vs. LAL when he wasn't guarding their frontcourt by himself...

In that case possibly. But it's not really about winning or losing with me. Sometimes you miss your shots or the other team is just better. My thing is that if the team has to lose I want them to do so with their best players on the floor and giving it their all. When you go away from the formula of playing your best players and instead start taking big risks that way then you had better win it all.

Pop probably knows that Splitter is one of his best players Blake.

The fact that Pop has gone from using the former Spanish League MVP as a garbage man to running the second unit's offense through him, sending him out there beside Duncan when the going gets tough, and trusting him to anchor that second unit defense in his second year of playing within the system (among other things) tells me that the coach probably recognizes that he's a good player on some level.

In fact, the stuff I've mentioned right there is a list of more responsibilities than Pop has ever shown signs of giving to either Blair or Bonner in their combined years of being here.

It's more likely that he's chosen to prioritize offense first with the starters since Blair is in the line-up and is counting on the bench to blow things open. That's fine during the regular season but in the playoffs you give your stronger players the majority of the minutes. That's why people like myself have been ripping the decision to not play Tim/Tiago together because while they've been looking better I'm not convinced that the offense will be at the level we need it to be in the playoffs.

I think Pop does it to piss off this board.

He really just wants to play bad players to show that he can. Its obvious. His huge ego has surpassed the will to win. And all the players on our team that really belong know this. Its why we have so many private player meetings, to hash out the idiocy that is Pop.

I personally believe we are among a number of other teams that could win this thing, but odds say we will not. It looks very fluid to me. So you most likely can bump this back. Cause everyone saw Dallas winning last year before the playoffs. It was all so obvious after the playoffs were over.

Mediocre defense + weak frontcourt= early playoff exit unless your offense is historically good and your opponents are all offensively-oriented as well. Not even Pop has won a championship that way and he has 4 on his resume.

...Because they're the same mistakes he made last year in the playoffs by relying on 3 ball and the perimeter while neglecting size and defense. I'm not saying that playing Splitter/Diaw more than Bonner/Blair is a championship guarantee but I think that the big rotation is one of the minor adjustments that can give the Spurs a better chance.

Your whole argument seems to center around the fact that the Spurs are tops in the regular season *right now* and that I'm not a professional coach. The Spurs were in first place last year and still got bounced and I've never claimed to be an expert.

Fast forward a year later and while our wings are significantly better we still have a lot of the same issues although the odds of taking number 5 this year are better.

by changing and going away from what you PPoppers love(d) and doing what us Realists have been wanting since summer 2007.

So since 2007, you've been wanting:

Tony Parker to improve to a level where he can run a team
The team to shift from a 4-down Tim-oriented inside-out offense to an uptempo Parker-led pick and roll offense that also thrives on the break
George Hill traded for Kawhi Leonard, who then gets started as a rookie
Danny Green to be starting
Steven Jackson to be brought back
Boris Diaw to be picked up for the veteran minimum after being cut by Charlotte, and moved into the starting lineup
Gary Neal playing backup point guard
Tiago Splitter to get an expanded role in his second year with the team as he gets familiar enough with the system

Excellent foresight. I approve.

Man, this thread is still getting bumped? Pop won COY, the debate is over. He is one of the greatest of all time and has earned the right to be head coach of the Spurs as long as he wants, imo.

You all rag on us haters but at least we know when to give up the props. Meanwhile Pop is probably chewing out someone's asshole right about now over game 4 (probably Neal's).

:lmao

Translation: You dislike those of us who bitch about having the best coach in the league, but we are wrong about almost everything and eventually, when it's shit or go blind, we drop a turd.

I have been giving props to Pop and Pop has also been doing what we were screaming for him to do for years. Where's the problem?

All that is left is for Pop to finish the job. If Pop reverts to burying Tiago on the bench and overplaying Bonner the Spurs are still going nowhere.

If Pop continues what got him coach of the year and the Spurs win the title I will continue giving Pop props and eating shit. Where's the problem?

Not the specific names but the general concepts yes.

Upgrading the wings, bringing some mental toughness back to the team, giving Tim more support and not making him do everything, getting better role players around the big 3, and (after last year) not burying someone like Tiago on the bench were all obvious needs if the Spurs wanted to be legitimate contenders. Even then I thought a few times yesterday that Splitter's relative lack of court time this season hurt him against Utah's big defenders although he still produced so it hasn't been perfect but there's no question that the Spurs FO did a fantastic job.

If anything, your list shows that Pop and RC did what needed to be done and it's paying off so far. Now that the big rotation is sorted out and the defense has been picking up there's nothing more that needs to be said. Pop deserved to be COY and the Spurs are the best they've been in a long time.

wow your so cool. pop revealed in an interview a few weeks ago that duncan has played center his whole career. notice how the starting center does the jump ball every game? clearly the TD tiago duo hasn't been working.. look at their production together compared to their production on different units... makes a lot of sense when you look at the facts

Part of my point was that I don't think we had the roster to do most of what we did until this year. And the front office has been pursuing similar moves --obviously RJ failed to be the 3 we needed, but he was an attempt at one, guys like Hairston, Williams, and Gist were the spiritual forbears to Green and Neal, and guys like Splitter and Diaw are just plain hard to come by.

This was the year when Tony finally showed he could be the guy. This was the year when some of our young players came on and actually made a positive difference. And players earn rotation minutes basically depending on their health and whether they can be relied on -- I could be wrong, but if Pop didn't think Tiago had earned more minutes earlier in the season (which was interrupted by injury), I tend to give him the benefit of the doubt.

So while I'm incredibly impressed with the way the pieces have come together so far for this team, I guess it always seemed like the front office was basically trying to do smart things, but constrained by what was actually possible given the available and potentially available players. There were some legit mistakes -- RJ and Scola immediately come to mind -- but it's always seemed like their average has been improbably high.

I disagreed with her because Pop has done a great REGULAR SEASON COACHING JOB. COTY is for the regular season.

Bonner may be playing a major role still-but the difference is that Splitter now has a role-instead of being permanently glued to the bench. I can admit that I am also pulling for Bonner to not go into a playoff swoon because it is a fact that Bonner will stay in the rotation. Diaw is a nice option to have because it gives Pop another option over Bonner--these are all good things and things that have helped in not overplaying Bonner. Bonner has been showing heart lately and I will gladly eat shit and give him props if he can continue this and I hope he does.

The title is still up for grabs and the way Pop is coaching now gives the Spurs a chance. I can admit that and I am hoping and praying and pulling for Pop to continue to coach this way.

Did you prefer it when Bonner played 30 minutes and Splitter got a DNP?

Is that the Coach Pop you prefer?

Any of you Popsuckers that cannot admit that Pop has changed some of his ways this year is a fucking liar.

Bonner is a nice to have because of his shooting he can help blow open games. Yet if the other team gameplans against him he becomes much less useful. That's the problem with being one dimensional. The same thing is happening with Novak in NY.

LOL, this thread is so full of win

I particular LOVE the general concepts that were put in, and just a total disregard in execution.

Guess what, I have some general concepts too. In general, I think the Spurs need to get a player like a young Duncan, another young Ginobili without injury issues, and a young Parker every decade, then add in defensive toughness around the perimeter who can nail three pointers (like a prime Bowen), a defensive post player not unlike Robinson in his prime, and a deep bench that can score in bunches, defend the wing and post, rebound, and generally outplay the other 29 teams' starting five. Just rinse and repeat this every 10 years, and the Spurs will win every single championship for the next 400 years.

It's really a shame that the RC and Pop are so horrible in their jobs that they can't see this. I mean, getting players like that is not that hard, you just have to wish for it.

While we are at it, I have a few concepts to get rich. All I have to do is to predict lottery numbers correctly for every single week, and then read the stock market correctly, and I don't have to worry about money anymore. I can also solve world hunger, it's simple, just get enough food for everyone, and nobody will be hungry anymore.

And it's also easy to cure cancer, you just have to go cure it, and have an accidental discovery of cure for HIV. It's that simple. Those incompetent doctors really screw this thing up bad.

This is my two cents for what it's worth.............

Pop has been so successful as a coach and front office guy that it was hard for him to even entertain trying something new, no matter what. Year after year since 2007 we've had a pretty good team, but Manu somehow gets hurt and we're done. We add minor pieces to the formula but nothing to serious until we get RJ. Pop works with RJ all he can, but realizes after last year that you can't teach mental toughness and he made a mistake not give the younger guys we used to have more minutes to get them ready.

Remember, "Free George Hill" or "Play Tiago!" How about this one, Duncan saying sometimes you gotta put the guys out there and let them sink or swim.

Pop changes his strategy this year win Manu goes down early and instead of us having a wasted year, he let it all hang out. Once the results started to materialize he said, "Fuck it, let's try to win this thing!" He made the FO moves and now we stand in the playoffs with a pretty good shot.

The young guys know they have a bit more room for error unlike previous years with Hill and Splitter. The ass kicking by the Lakers was the last piece! Enter Duncan and Splitter! I think he's made a few choices that in hindsight should've BEEN made, but at least he's making them now! He's still a damn good coach though! I mean, they guy was coach sets on the floor during the halftime! Gotta love it!!!

All the Popsuckers that scoffed and tried to ridicule me when I said that Pop is still the biggest obstacle to the Spurs winning a title....

what is the reasoning now?
Where is the Coach of the year?

Bonner still the first "big" off the bench...

No sight of a TD/Tiago pairing....

Blair...6'7'' starting center ...

Being embarrassed by MIKE BROWN....MIKE FUCKIN' BROWN!

McRoberts posterizing Bonner....Pop pulls Bonner...Pop puts Bonner right back in...GENIUS!

No One on the Spurs with any desire...any fire...any balls...and Coach Pop didn't change anything...just kept the same rotation...the same everything....

This is what the Playoffs have in store...and this is exactly what happened last season...

Pop has had two seasons now with Splitter...and in two seasons...he has not been able to "find time" to try and integrate his only two players approaching 7 feet....this is the NBA where being tall is something that can't be taught...on top of that Splitter is not just some "serviceable' "blue collar" role player...he can actually be an asset by his mere presence on the court with his vision, passing, and basketball IQ...but fuckhead coach has pissed away two seasons....

This seasons playoffs are just about here and fuckhead coach is right on cue to get embarrassed again....

COTY....:lmao

#1) Bonner NOT the first big off the bench- Thanks Pop.

#2) TD/Tiago pairing has been sighted-not often but Pop tried it in the next Spurs/lakers games and wah-lah Spurs win! Thanks Pop.

#3) Blair not starting since that Laker loss. Thanks Pop.

#4) Pop made some changes that he had been criticized for and wasn't embarrassed by Mike Brown. Thanks Pop.

Hey, the Spurs haven't lost a game since this was originally posted.

Just thank the universe that Pop changed his ways-and thank the Lakers for exposing Pop and the road he was on prior to that beatdown.

Pop is on the right road now-no complaints.

THIS. GREAT observation, silverblk mystix. :tu :tu :tu

I remember remarking after that game that the lakers (and especially Bynum) are going to regret running up his rebound totals and completely taking Pop's comfortable little crutch and beating him over the head with it. After that game (or rather humiliation), we finally got to see more Splitter/Diaw for the most part and less Blair/Bonner. And the result is the spurs haven't lost a game since.

But it is so much easier for the piranhas/Popsuckers to just try and rally around the "Pop is always right, 4 rings, where do you coach?" garbage.

The lakers game was so necessary for a change to be made. It was as if everyone but Pop could see the obvious.

Thankfully Pop didn't remain stubborn as in years past and continued to overplay Bonner and bury Tiago on the pine.

Now, even Bonner doesn't look as horrible in limited minutes.

Having said that-Bonner was in the game in crunch-time yesterday-so I would still be a bit wary of Pop going back to that.

also the spurs have been winning pretty consistently...but it is obvious to anyone who isn't riding Pop's nutz that if TD/Splitter don't see time on the court together...the spurs aren't going anywhere...

What I said needed to happen actually happened.

While others were whining about getting some athlete who couldn't play basketball to sit on the inactive list, I said the Spurs needed a starting PF to move Blair out of the rotation. I can't say I thought Diaw would fit that role as well as he has, but I certainly thought more of him than you.

Whenever someone uses the word "sheeple" -- they've already lost whatever argument they think they are in.

And yeah, the 29-2 fact doesn't matter to you at all.

lol trying to count LJ as your supporter

Don't need anyone's support. Just pointing out the fact that Timvp questioned Bonners role and the pairing of TD/Tiago and the fact that it should have been done early in the season.
This is pretty much what some people here had been screaming for.
No one questioned this or flamed him or rode to Pop's rescue.

29-2 did matter but it had been proven in previous years that Bonner was not going to be getting the same open looks as the regular season and that TD/Tiago had never had a chance to develop chemistry.

The 2nd half pairing, lately of TD/Tiago (due to Diaw's foul trouble) is at least a small attempt by Pop to stay even with the other team and I can't complain. If this had been earlier in the year Pop would have trotted out Blair or Bonner and the Spurs would have fallen into a 10-14 point hole and that was the coaching that I hated but Pop seems to be more on top lately. Can't ask for more.

If Pop reverts to those tactics he should be called out again - whether the Popsuckers approve or not.

You bitched about the one legit loss in the middle of a 29-2 run. It was the only chance you had, so I understand.

Huh? What I said needed to happen actually happened.

While others were whining about getting some athlete who couldn't play basketball to sit on the inactive list, I said the Spurs needed a starting PF to move Blair out of the rotation. I can't say I thought Diaw would fit that role as well as he has, but I certainly thought more of him than you.

Shall I repost your thoughts on the Diaw signing, TJ? Would you like to go there?

Seriously, after your predictions about Splitter and Diaw, how could you possibly try to call scoreboard now?

Doesn't really matter what I originally thought of Splitter or Diaw.. the fact is they were acquired and languished behind inferior players. All of which became more and more obvious as the weeks went on. If the lakers debacle hadn't happened it's very likely we'd still be watching Blair & Bonner playing big roles and it could have cost the spurs against a team like the jazz. Or we'd have been watching Pop try to integrate Diaw and Splitter on the fly in mid series (like he attempted to do last year lmao). You act like us haters haven't given Pop any credit which isn't true. He's been great for the most part. So quit being a butthurt little bitch.

Again, you're personal opinion of my ability to judge basketball talent doesn't change the fact that Pop should be thanking Andrew Bynum for knocking him upside the head hard enough to clear away the fog.

lol keeping tabs on my whereabouts

If you spent as much time formulating a decent take this board would be much better off for it.

As for giving Popovich his due, that's quite irrelevant. We're discussing your irrational obsession with his coaching decisions and the implication that his tenure as a head coach has, by and large, been a failure.

Please don't be dumb.

I can go to the political forum and those geniuses there have all but solved the worlds problems. I learn so much there.

The NBA forum has taught me that ALL white women desire ALL black men. What en edumacation. :lmao
I also learned that Kobe is God himself regardless of any crimes he has committed.

I can go to THE CLUB and learn all about which TV shows are the most "hip" to watch.

I can come to the SAN ANTONIO SPURS section and watch sheeple trip and fall over each other trying to fellate their leader because he "trolled" them with a genius ESPN/article trolljob.

Wow. I feel honored that posters don't like my truth.

You should have agreed with her.

He's still playing Bonner more than Splitter -- in the playoffs.

16.4 Splitter
13.9 Bonbon
That includes Splitter in Game 1 vs the Jazz spraining his left wrist and leaving the game after 7 minutes.

Lemme see, Pop acquired a better PF for his game plan, then he moved that PF into the starting lineup and bench his biggest starting liability... despite claims that he's inflexible.

Pop rested his players perfectly, juggled his rotations perfectly, learned from the Faker smashing and turned it around to smash them back twice, basically coached a perfect season. Pop haters who won't admit this are simply too proud to overcome their cognitive dissonance.

That's all I have to say.

I am completely happy that Pop finally got a clue and began playing the players that gave the Spurs the best chance to win.

It is all that we asked for. Pop complied. Pop finally saw the obvious and benched Blair and cut Bonners minutes. Pop woke up in time to save this season.

Who is complaining?

It was a Popsucker that bumped this thread. It was a Popsucker that bumped this thread the last time.

Let me spell it out for you again.

Everything that we were screaming for -for years- was finally done by Pop and holy shit- the spurs haven't lost since. Great coaching.
