co-signed......... WTF was wrong with him to have this lineups? FUCK

[dg7md]

Blame Manu most importantly, he is actually the one playing out there. Pop just screams on the sidelines.

Really? Up 5 with 28 seconds left, Pop brings TD back to the bench, they get an offensive rebound James hits a 3. Last heat regulation possession, TD out again, they miss, rebound and ray allen shot the 3. So yeah let's blame Manu.

You stupid bitch.

[sammy]

WTF was Pop thinking keeping Timmy on the bench! Fuck you Pop!:bang

[NRHector]

Damn he pissed off just watching the interviews

Sit the fuck down, faggot. You act like Pop made the moves in bad faith to fuck spurfan or something.

Still better than being an emo little hoe imo.

This isnt the first time Duncan has sat at the end of games when the Spurs are switching everything, just so you know.

I make in one week, what you make in a year in the Phillipines tbh. That has nothing to do with you being an emotional, little hoe though. Stay on topic.

[100%duncan]

I quit. I reserve the right to come back if my Spurs pull it off but otherwise Im outta here. I havent felt this deflated after a sports loss since Manu gave away the WCF in '06.

Do me a favor and PM DD my paypal mid, please.

Shitting on Pop because it's his fault>>>>>>>>>>quitting on your team

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[james evans]

pop likes to gamble so when shit goes his way, it makes him look like a genius, but when they don't(like every fukin game giving up leads with the worst line ups possible) it makes him look stupid. i don't give a damn how many titles he's won, u don't do stupid shit like that in a fukin close out game. why the hell are u resting players? resting them for what? the parade?

Exactly they're going to fucking rest after they retire this season anyways

FT and TOs tbh.

[FkLA]

Thats not what emo is, idiot.

Emo is when one day youre saying 'fuck you Manu'. Then he has a good game and its 'I love you Manu'. Or the same with Neal. This loss hurts, to the point where I dont want to watch anything NBA related until Game 7 and wont want to post about anything NBA related if we end up losing....but that is in no way equivalent to what you do. :lol

[cd98]

This loss isn't on Pop. It's on Ginoboli. If/when Spurs lose game 7, he retires. He doesn't have it when it counts anymore. He was the best closer in the game. Not anymore.

Please! This is on Pop plain and simple! Poor coaching down the stretch! You keep your future Hall of Famer, Tim Duncan on the bench in crunch time! Stubborn asshole refuses to call a timeout to calm our team down but allows the play to continue to miss a shot! No calls down the stretch, turnovers, poor coaching and missed free throws is what lost this game! Fuck you POP!

:lol your logic :lol no wonder you can't pay 25$ in 5 months :lmao
What a faggot :lol

[100%duncan]

It stopped being gravy when we realized our Spurs could hang with the Heatles. The truth is we threw away #5 and the chances of bouncing back from this are slim. I wish I could be positive or look at the glass half full but I just cant tbh. :(

and this guy calls me emo :lmao :lmao :lmao

[dallasmaverickslose]

Fuck you OP

[Poolboy5623]

This is just the start on the pop hate imo...just wait till game 7 when he goes 10 deep in the first half(again), and the heat starters build up a lead against the spurs bench...have to make sure these guys are rested, ya know?

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Pop screwed this up beyond belief. As another poster pointed out, Pop does this crap often. He thinks he's bigger than the players, he thinks he controls the outcome. Even the worst coach ever will tell you that in the final 28 seconds of a close out game in the Finals, you stick with your franchise player! Pop deserves everything he gets.

[texmich]

Fuck you Pop, Fuck u MANU, AND FUCK U too Bonner just for the fuck of ithttp://replygif.net/i/826.gif!!

[LakerHater]

Pop Frank Vogel-ed The Game!

[mvparker]

Seriously guys, think about this:
- If LeBron makes the two VERY open threes he had, nobody would be crying here on Pop's lineups...
- If Tony does not have his crazy sequence (and that fluke three), we might have well remained behind for good. No over-crying shit. Miami had the momentum...
- If LeBron makes that fastbreak dunk where Green got very lucky to even touch the ball it's still Miami by a comfortable margin....
- If, if, if...

Basketball is like that, anything can happen... Like winning a game 7 on the road against the defending champs...
I was almost crying last night but since the GS series I have a feeling of destiny... These spurs will end their journey holding the LOB... Tony rarely have two bad shooting nights in a row, he'll bounce back and he also won't have the FMVP pressure on him,I think no spur gives a shit about that now, even him...

They will all play like a team, I have this crazy feeling this is going to happen...

Believe.

[RD2191]

This game is on Pop, anyone who thinks otherwise is fukin delusional.

[ErnestLynch]

His choices did not produce the optimal outcome. Lets just leave it at that.

[dbreiden83080]

I don't understand how Pop thought we were getting the rebound with Bosh on the floor and Tim not.. Bosh is 6'11 gets the rebound over Kahwi and Manu easily instead of Tim boxing out..

I just don't get it......

[LakerHater]

Im still scrathin my GODDAMN head on this one!!

[dbreiden83080]

Switch the screens to force the miss on the 3..

Okay but what happens after that with your best rebounder sitting on the fucking bench..

2nd chance points happen with a defense scrambling to recover.. Pop Jesus!!!!!

[DJB]

Really? Up 5 with 28 seconds left, Pop brings TD back to the bench, they get an offensive rebound James hits a 3. Last heat regulation possession, TD out again, they miss, rebound and ray allen shot the 3. So yeah let's blame Manu.

You stupid bitch.

No excuse. And it was 19 seconds, not 28.

[Humberto]

Spurs made mistakes going down the stretch. You think other Spurs aren't capable of grabbing a board? C'mon now.. Manu flopped rather than boxing out the dinosaur. Once Spurs win game 7 all haters will be back on Pop's bandwagon.

[LakerHater]

Spurs were so close to their fifth title that THESE were handed out last night. Twice -http://stat.mobli.com/assets/images/loader.1025.gif

Was just about to post this. Also, the trophy being brought out right behind Spurs bench... so close. Spurs just have to wait until Thursday to receive.

[LakerHater]

Feel like Charlie Brown!!

[Poolboy5623]

Security had roped off the fans, the trophy had come out, Miami fans were leaving in tears, and mvp ballots were handed out. All of this and the spurs still find a way to choke out a loss. Miami will play the entire game 7, like it's the fourth quarter of game 6. Sure they'll wear out but they'll build a big enough lead, that it won't matter. .....the good news is win or lose, my life stays the same;-)

[MannyIsGod]

I"ll never understand the need to post a thread sayiing Fuck <member of the spurs>.

[td4mvp2k]

OP :flipoff

[Pocket Hippo]

If Pop would have played Duncan and a guard drained a 3 over him, OP would still be saying "fuck pop".
But you are right OP, Pop should have played Tim because the uber-quickness of Tim's lateral movement to stay with shooters off of screens is well documented... 10 years ago.

[SpurSpurSpurs]

What IFs aren't going to help. Fuck every one, yeah! But we still have a game to play a day from now.

[2centsworth]

F you Pop you stupid arrogant SOB.

[SA210]

Even if Spurs win game 7, Pop does not deserve a pass for last night. Fuckin choke job if I have ever seen one.

[Spursmania]

Pop better make up for this shit in Game 7. Regardless, he's still a phenomenal coach and had the players made the frees, or rebounded, or a three missed by Heat or TP passing out to open players, or a TO called after the rebound when Manu lost the ball but hell it didn't happen that way. SO, it's very easy to second guess a hall of fame coach. I too believe Duncan should have been in the game. But we dance with the one who brought us. And the players still could have won this. BELIEVE!!

[SA210]

Piece of shit arrogant son of a bitch soft ass overrated bitch ass coach. Tim made him look good his whole career,and then he doesn't trust him and benches him. F you Pop, u soft ass little scared overrated bitch.

[oski1000]

I don't understand why nobody fouled Ray Allen before he moved off to get his 3 pointer.

[boutons_deux]

I don't understand why nobody fouled Ray Allen before he moved off to get his 3 pointer.

a long history about that tactic among many coaches and fans. Pop has said he won't do it.

[jag]

That escalated quickly...

Lol melt downs

Yes:

Pop sucked
Manu sucked
Tony sucked
Tim sucked in the 4th quarter
Danny sucked
Refs sucked

Team loss.

Is what it is. Game 7.

[TheGreatYacht]

Countless terrible coaching decisions.
Not the least of them is playing Manu way too many fucking minutes. We were up by at least 10 when Manu came in and pissed it away. It was so obvious that Miami was licking their chops when Manu was in and trapping him so that he would make a ridiculous pass that they could pick off. What's that, Pop? Parker was tired? WHO GIVES A FLYING FUCK!!! There is no tomorrow; it's a must win game! YOU HAVE LESS THAN A 1% CHANCE OF WINNING A GAME 7 IN MIAMI, you dumb POS.
Don't even get me started on pulling Duncan not once, but twice in critical situations. You know they are going to get one good look at the shot. You know this because, if you are half a coach, you will have told your guys NOT TO FUCKING FOUL. Your best hope is that they brick the shot and you get the rebound. Fuck, if only we had a consensus first fucking ballot Hall of Famer at power forward on our team who's, like, really fucking good at rebounds. Oh, wait! We do, and his fucking name is Tim Duncan. Too bad he's RIDING THE FUCKING PINE with the game on the line.
The Spurs were killing it with Parker, Green, Leonard, Diaw, and Duncan, and Pop blows up the lineup down the stretch to put in Turnobili, Tiago "Stone Hand, Pussy Feet" Splitter, and Gary Neal. What the fuck!!! Ride your goddamn ponies into the ground. THERE IS NO FUCKING GAME 7 YOU STUPID PIECE OF SHIT!!!
My only solace is that Pop will regret his bullshit coaching for the remainder of his life. And he deserves to.

Is there anyone in here, that DIDN'T know that MANU was going to have a shit game after his first 3 or 4 or 5 turnovers? It's only been his MO all season...1 good game, 2 bad games, etc.
Manu had his good game in game 5. He came out like shit in this game, and everyone knew how it would go.
Yet POP gave him even MORE minutes this game. IMHO, it's not even that close without Manu's turnovers. And that is totally on POP, for increasing his minutes in perhaps the worst game of MANU's career.

Manu TO's: 8 Rest of Spurs TO's: 5.

I was texting my buddy, Manu would come in and kill the lead. I was yelling at the TV for Timmy to come in and rebound, before Lebron's 3. Pop, you were a fucking moron tonight. And no ,that is not second guessing or any of that shit. Pop fucked up royally tonight. Fuckkkk.

Manu doesn't just play bad. He gives the other teams too many points with his turnovers. Then...after all the turnover shit, he STILL hasn't learned his lesson and gives Bosh and and1.

Look at the lineup that was out there, who was going to score? Certainly not weak ass splitter and certainly not Turnover happy Manu. I don't think Tim went to Pop and said, "Pop it's game 6, the trophy is waiting for us but I need to rest", You're running on adrenaline if not just hyped for the moment. Tony resting even though he didn't carry the load for the first half? That's just shitty coaching.. You have a 10 point lead and you go for the throat you don't ease off and hope to maintain a lead.. Shit, you call a time out as if that was going to help and you keep the same shitty players out there who had no momentum, no play called or anything to get them going.. nothing for Green or Neal?
Being 37 has nothing to do with being in the moment, 1 game and up by 10 and the crowd not into it..

Pop is just too damn hardheaded for his own good. AndI'm getting damn tired of his childish, bullshit interviews where he tries to be cute. Get over yourself, Pop. Tonight was his worst coaching game I can remember. Some can say Manu cost us the game tonight but, Pop should have yanked his ass when all of us saw Manu no longer had it. He gave all he had in game 5 and at his age and with all his ailments it didn't take an Einstein to see he just didn't have it tonight.
Every NBA player alive wanted us to kick Lebron's ass and instead he kicked Pop in the balls. Maybe Pop got into a bad batch of Jamaican Rum thinking it was wine. He stunk the place up tonight.

Why no TO 20 secs before the end of OT?Amateur coaching by Pop.

8 second chance points for Heat in 44 minutes of Tim on the floor.
6 second chance points in last 30 seconds of regulation with Tim spectating from the bench.

Riding Manu too long and not having Duncan out there to rebound on the Ray Allen 3 were big time fails. Keeping Duncan on the bench was perhaps the biggest fail, as Indiana made the same mistake with Hibbert in the ECF. Teams just keep letting Miami off the hook.Pop is responsible for all of the above.

[TheGoldStandard]

This is on Pop... let's look at it like this, 10 point lead and lets bench Tim Duncan and Tony Parker for Tiago Splitter and Manu Ginobili.. Let's analyze that for a second, Tony causes double teams and Tim was on fire.. He had 5 points in the 3rd, didn't take a lot of shots and looked fine while he was on the bench, not gassed at all. Up to that point Tony hadn't been responsible for the scoring so he was still mostly fresh. So I'd run them out there to protect that lead and maybe escalate that because you know Miami was going to force a run or try to. You slow the game down and you go into Tim but nope, 2 straight PnR opportunities with Manu and Tiago that resulted in shit.. So we take a time out and we run the same shit out of the timeout like anything was going to change. Shooters on the perimeter just watching... So then we finally see Duncan and Parker and we see Miami already have momentum and we have to claw our way out of it with our starters.. then we miss critical FTs which is on everyone that missed.. then Pop takes Duncan out of the game twice because Diaw is quicker on the switch but why not just have Duncan in there guarding Bosh and don't switch, have Kawhi on Lebron crowding him, shit if anything take Parker out of the game so you have length on the court and rebounding.. Nope, shitty game plan.

No Parker in the last sequences of OT, more Manu and then no timeout which was stupid.. Oh and then we need a 3 to end the game and Tiago Splitter is in the game??? lol Stack our 3 point shooters so everyone has to stay on somebody and run some screens for someone.

[ducks]

Earlier in the playoffs, Popovich benched Duncan for the last four minutes of the Spurs’ series-clinching victory over the Golden State Warriors. The rational was the same as on Tuesday night: speedier players could smother the 3-point line and snuff out the opposition’s comeback hopes.

That's 4 minutes opposed to last few seconds of a game with a critical play.. In that 4 minutes you control what you can control, you play through misses and made shots but in that situation you have to be thinking I need that ball if they miss. Nobody on that floor was going to rebound anything as they were all guarding someone.. Bosh was a non factor in that situation, Tim would have battled him better

But they had Bosh in the game for the Allen 3.. Nobody on the floor could stop that rebound with Tim out. As soon as Spoelstra put Bosh in Tim had to come off the bench.. Nothing else made sense... Pop handed the Heat the championship last night..
