Pop....

[Mugen]

has lost his fucking mind :lmao

[Malik Hairston]

He's been making some strange decisions lately, tbh..

Those 5-man subs, too..

He never usually opts to foul, either, not sure why he did it there:lol..

[timtonymanu]

Bring back Coach Bud. :depressed

[hater]

agree. this one is on Pop. terrible rotations. Overplayed Bonner again. Sat duncan and brought him back ice cold for the most important possession.

:lmao Pop what a stupid fuck

[itzsoweezee]

No Duncan for most of the 4th and 3rd, the Ayres & Bonner frontcourt, fouling with 8 seconds left and up by 3

Spurs just looking for ways to lose.

[Malik Hairston]

Why did he bring Duncan back in after sitting him for the entire quarter? If you're going to sit him, sit him:lol..

Why bring him back for the most important pass of the game?

[hater]

I blame that bitch IMO

she's ruining the coaches up there :pctoss

[Mugen]

-Playing TP, benching him in the 2nd half
-BS hockey subs
-2nd unit killing it in the 1st half, same lineup never sees the floor again
-Bonner cameo in the 3rd for zero reason
-No Timmy for the entire 4th qtr except for the last f'n possession
-Fouling when you're up 3 after being killed on the boards and horrible on the FT line

:lmao I'm forgetting like 20 things as well tbh....

[midnightpulp]

Fouling up 3 was the right play.

Not his fault these sacks of shit can't make FTs and that Duncan was a dipshit.

Hate this fuckin' team right now. Every game is a goddamn root canal.

[fresnodog]

I cant fkn believe this. They cant win the close games anymore.

[Robz4000]

Spurs just don't have it this season.

[cjw]

He did bring in Duncan to rebound this time though

[bdictjames]

Timmy wasn't happy at all in that last possession. When will the Spurs ever wake up and know that there are many teams that would be wanting to have a chance at them right now. They just don't have championship mentality at this point.

[Mugen]

Fouling up 3 was the right play.

Not his fault these sacks of shit can't make FTs and that Duncan was a dipshit.

Hate this fuckin' team right now. Every game is a goddamn root canal.

:lol You've been an advocate of fouling in those situations but that was seriously the worst time to ever foul in that situation. If you don't think that then that's f'n retarded, Mid, sorry brah.

[look_at_g_shred]

I love this team.

[FkLA]

tbf depending on the outcome fans will bitch both ways about whether to foul or not when up 3

what makes it baffling is that the team wasnt hitting FTs

[spurraider21]

lol people bitch when pop doesn't foul, now they bitch that he does

People bitch when he takes Duncan out, now they bitch that he brought Duncan in

[midnightpulp]

-Playing TP, benching him in the 2nd half

:lmao I'm forgetting like 20 things as well tbh....

That was bizarre.

I'm only following on gamecast, but how the TOSB cuckhold faggot turn the ball over? Why didn't the fuck just squeeze it, get fouled, and shoot the FTs? Pistons were out of TOs I think and probably wouldn't been able to do much off an FT miss.

This faggot team is mind boggingly stupid lately.

[Malik Hairston]

The Spurs are probably the last team that should foul, tbh..even ignoring the botched pass, this team has to be the worst FT-shooting team in clutch time in the NBA..

[Dre_7]

Free throws and Timmy's pass was the difference tonight. Spurs should have made a few more free throws and Timmy should have called a time out instead of forcing that pass.

[bulakenyo]

haha

[Mikeanaro]

FT%, that and the fact than detroit ran just 2 plays all game, one layup and one shot with Drummond around in case something fails this team is done.
Defense is atrocious, every random scrub can make a layup any time, and Offense sucks they rotate the ball 20 seconds wondering what to do seeing what happens result...TO and misses.

[ElNono]

We were killing with the 2nd unit in the 2nd quarter, then he pulls everyone out, and never plays that lineup again the entire game...

Mad scientist Pop is frustrating as fuck...

[Arc]

there's a lot of people you can blame this loss on. pop isn't one of them.

he didn't make all those losers miss freebies and turn the ball over a thousand times.

[cd021]

2-6 FTs in money time

[Mugen]

:lol If the Spurs don't foul there, Jennings probably throws up a fadeaway 25 footer. I've never questioned Pop's senility until tonight tbh.

[Malik Hairston]

We were killing with the 2nd unit in the 2nd quarter, then he pulls everyone out, and never plays that lineup again the entire game...

Mad scientist Pop is frustrating as fuck...

I understand that Pop experiments a lot, but it doesn't seem like there's any structure to his rotations this season, tbh..

[ChumpDumper]

lol people bitch when pop doesn't foul, now they bitch that he does

People bitch when he takes Duncan out, now they bitch that he brought Duncan inheh

[midnightpulp]

:lol You've been an advocate of fouling in those situations but that was seriously the worst time to ever foul in that situation. If you don't think that then that's f'n retarded, Mid, sorry brah.

How come?

You want to let Detroit get a look at a game tying buzzer beater 3?

All the Spurs have to do is not turn the fuckin' ball over with 7 seconds left and they win. But they're too stupid to even do that.

[timtonymanu]

Those stupid 2k lineups need to end. If not for the Asik gift, the Spurs would be 1-3 with that lineup experiment. :lol

The schedule is actually getting less draining. It doesn't make sense to go to it.

[FkLA]

That was bizarre.

I'm only following on gamecast, but how the TOSB cuckhold faggot turn the ball over? Why didn't the fuck just squeeze it, get fouled, and shoot the FTs? Pistons were out of TOs I think and probably wouldn't been able to do much off an FT miss.

inbounds pass

[HI-FI]

The MVP was that fuck in the audience, some piston fan kept yelling. Surprised no one didn't dump a beer on him.

[ceperez]

Wasn't this the same play that was messed up against the Berlin team?

Same exact sequence!

[DesignatedT]

Ehh it's not Pop's in game management. Guys are just sleepwalking and playing the majority of the game with little to no effort. Not sure what Pop can say to them to make them play with some urgency. Tim and Manu are just too old and are getting tired which is very worrisome. Some of the younger guys aren't picking up the slack; not because they can't but because they don't seem to want to.

[jeebus]

We were killing with the 2nd unit in the 2nd quarter, then he pulls everyone out, and never plays that lineup again the entire game...

Mad scientist Pop is frustrating as fuck...
:pop: But they were le tired :pop:

[Floyd Pacquiao]

I'll never know why he took out the bench when they were rolling. Stupid arrogant old fuck.

[Mikeanaro]

Boris... that fatfuck is pure shit right now.

[ElNono]

also, this was a game where Beli was actually scoring well... all of a sudden we're running a Cojo-Patty-Manu lineup :lol

[boutons_deux]

DG foul's a 92% FT shooter :lol

[midnightpulp]

The Spurs are probably the last team that should foul, tbh..even ignoring the botched pass, this team has to be the worst FT-shooting team in clutch time in the NBA..

But they're also the worst at defending game tying 3s in the final seconds. It's pick your poison with these sorry fucks this season.

[ElNono]

:lol benches Boris for Bonner the entire 3rd quarter, we started with a 7pt lead and end up with a 10pt deficit

[Mugen]

How come?

You want to let Detroit get a look at a game tying buzzer beater 3?

All the Spurs have to do is not turn the fuckin' ball over with 7 seconds left and they win. But they're too stupid to even do that.

Because you play D for a single possession and you get the W tbh. Instead, you lengthen the game and turn it into a FT shooting contest when your team is arguably the worst FT shooting team in the clutch.

[Robz4000]

I think we have to seriously start looking at the possibility of the Spurs missing the playoffs this year tbh. Been saying it all season but it's definitely becoming more of a realistic possibility. If they lose to the Suns Friday they fall to the 8 seed with New Orleans and Meth a game back in the loss column.

[midnightpulp]

inbounds pass

Even worse.

What a stupid fuckin' team.

[ElNono]

:lol calm down, Robz... we're not missing the playoffs

Tim and Manu are just too old and are getting tired which is very worrisome. Some of the younger guys aren't picking up the slack; not because they can't but because they don't seem to want to.

You mean like Enrique? Timmy and Manu put up a valiant effort carrying the team during the brutal month of December...wore themselves out so that Enrique could spend a month nursing a day-to-day injury.

[Clipper Nation]

Yeah, Pop is awful. Spurs should fire him immediately. Then Ballmer can finally get rid of Cock Quitters and back the Brinks truck up outside of Pop's house. :downspin:

[DJR210]

How does Pop get the blame over missed FT's down the stretch?

[benefactor]

:lol calm down, Robz... we're not missing the playoffs
My nig Robz always has one hand on the pistol tbh:lol

[midnightpulp]

Because you play D for a single possession and you get the W tbh. Instead, you lengthen the game and turn it into a FT shooting contest when your team is arguably the worst FT shooting team in the clutch.

We're also incredibly bad at defending game tying/game winning shots in the last seconds, too.

I still think the odds are better intentionally fouling in that situation.

[Robz4000]

:lol calm down, Robz... we're not missing the playoffs

Been waiting for the Suns and Pelicans to start falling off but they keep coming. This is really starting to remind me of the 09-10 season, only the West is much, much better.

[ducks]

spurs had to much rest between games

[MultiTroll]

:lol If the Spurs don't foul there, Jennings probably throws up a fadeaway 25 footer. I've never questioned Pop's senility until tonight tbh.
Or he hits a greasy three.
With a foul, all Spurs had to do was inbound the fucking ball.

[resistanze]

But they're also the worst at defending game tying 3s in the final seconds. It's pick your poison with these sorry fucks this season.

I'd go with defending the three when 2 players for 0-2 and another goes 1-2 at the FT line in the last few minutes.

Coupled with the face that you never/rarely I never see Pop foul in that situation.

[spurs1990]

Maybe van gunny was best man at his wedding.

Sure looked like he gifted that win.

[Mugen]

:lol T Park get in here and blame it on the fans tbh.

Can the NBA trade coaches?

Pop for Bud would be nice

[Robz4000]

You people are fucking retarded.

:lol T Park's here

[T Park]

How does Pop get the blame over missed FT's down the stretch?



Shhhh. They're experts.

[ducks]

pop needed tp tonight in 4

[timtonymanu]

Been waiting for the Suns and Pelicans to start falling off but they keep coming. This is really starting to remind me of the 09-10 season, only the West is much, much better.

I'll wait until Kawhi comes back. The Spurs can also go on a winning streak and move into the top 5 at best.

These losses are frustrating, but predictable. The Pistons are on a Josh Smith-less high and tonight's game was a trap game. It doesn't help that the Spurs throw away games so idiotically but they desperately need Kawhi.

[T Park]

The team is missing it's first and second best players and people here think it's indicitive of the entire team.

Fucking morons.

[Robz4000]

I predicted a loss tonight, but not like this. I'd say they'll prolly respond with a nice winning streak, but shit like this has been happening all season.

[Mugen]

The team is missing it's first and second best players and people here think it's indicitive of the entire team.

Fucking morons.

:lol No Kawhi is no excuse for playing like the stupidest team in the league and Pop doing his best Byron Scott impression tbh.

[rasuo214]

How come?

You want to let Detroit get a look at a game tying buzzer beater 3?

All the Spurs have to do is not turn the fuckin' ball over with 7 seconds left and they win. But they're too stupid to even do that.

And make FTs. Normally I'd agree with you (although I also understand playing it out when we're able to put out a good defensive unit) but not on a night when they're struggling to hit FTs.

[NASpurs]

The team is missing it's first and second best players and people here think it's indicitive of the entire team.

Fucking morons.

Wtf are you talking about, Duncan and Manu played tonight.

[TDfan2007]

The team is missing it's first and second best players and people here think it's indicitive of the entire team.

Fucking morons.

Normally, I'd agree, but the Spurs had this game won and once again gave it away (like the 4th or 5th time this year). Tony and Kawhi's absence shouldn't make everyone on the team into mental midgets at the FT line, or cause everyone to check out on the defensive end.

I won't judge this team right now, and I certainly don't expect them to be a top 3 seed w/ 2 of our top dogs out/hampered by injury, but I expect wins against the Pelicans/Lakers/Pistons of the NBA world, and I expect better crunch time execution and FT shooting.

[spurtech09]

I love this team.
you know whats crazy?...Me too

[T Park]

:lol No Kawhi is no excuse for playing like the stupidest team in the league and Pop doing his best Byron Scott impression tbh.

So missing your second best player isn't an excuse. Gotcha thanks.

You expect better crunch time execution of Manu Corey Joseph Splitter Diaw and Patty Mills.

A combo that i guarantee has never played together.

Right on.

[jbspurs]

No Duncan for most of the 4th and 3rd, the Ayres & Bonner frontcourt, fouling with 8 seconds left and up by 3

Spurs just looking for ways to lose.

Exactly! Why foul? :bang

[T Park]

Troll somewhere else.

[Mugen]

So missing your second best player isn't an excuse. Gotcha thanks.

Not when you're playing the Pistons tbh :lol

[jbspurs]

How does Pop get the blame over missed FT's down the stretch?

It was the decision to foul when they were up by 3.

[therealtruth]

Pop's taking it easy right now. He just has to make sure he doesn't take it too easy. The West is too tough for this.

[jbspurs]

Because you play D for a single possession and you get the W tbh. Instead, you lengthen the game and turn it into a FT shooting contest when your team is arguably the worst FT shooting team in the clutch.

I totally agree with you Mugen!

[boutons_deux]

... at home

[kobyz]

fuck his beard. it's killing us...

[kobyz]

fuck his beard. it's killing us...

[hyhy]

Seriously? Pop chooses not to foul and the forum goes crazy. Now he fouls and you guys are still blaming him. Wtf do you guys wan him to do?

[Ice009]

Well, just watched the game. Can't believe we threw away YET ANOTHER FUCKING GAME. Fouling was the right play IMO. Maybe the Basketball gods wanted fuck Pop over again for being a dickhead.

Either way, right play, but the Spurs are pussies. I'm tougher than these guys. If they want to give up, they can. If you guys want to give up, you can. I ain't giving up. I wouldn't have missed all those free throws. Definitely not in a regular season game. Spurs are mentally weak pussies right now.

They can either snap out of it or give up and let their season crumble.

Pop needs to wake up too. Sure we've had injuries, but this fucker has been nothing short of a disaster this season. Fucking shave that beard and for fucks sake, don't let Hammon wear pink on the bench during a game. That screams distraction. What happened to the Spurs conservative dress code. They wouldn't let their players wear pink shoes. Would you let one of the other players or assistant coaches wear a fucking pink suit to the game? Pop's gone soft and retarded this season.

[Nathan89]

Fouling was a terrible decision. Our team was very liable to only have a two pt lead even if the inbound was made. We don't have anyone that is an almost guarantee at the end of games. That make it a bad decision given the weaknesses of this team. It may be a good decision on other teams. The decision becomes significantly worse when you factor in that Meeks is a much better ft shooter than the person we put on the line. So we will more often miss one of our fts than they will. I also thought the foul was a little early.

On top of that the pistons were 3-19 on 3pt shots. Stupid decision. I can't believe some of you thinking otherwise.

It's the right play. It's the Spurs problem if they are mentally weak.

Sorry, I don't excuse them for being mentally weak. The strategy is sound, but the Spurs fundamentals are not.

[Brazil]

Spurs are a mess right now and Pop is not helping

but this team healthy can put together a double winning streak at any point imo

[urunobili]

fuck his beard. it's killing us...

I think the beard jinx deserves its own thread....

[SayTown]

5 has gone to Pops head, he needs to get over himself

[George Gervin's Afro]

Without reading any posts in this thread, I must say that last night was the worst coaching job by Pop in a game than I can remember. Why do you foul with 8 seconds left up by 3? after you just missed 6 of 8 free throws?

[AaronY]

What was the deal with Ayres playing..is Baynes dead or something?

[boutons_deux]

Baynes had a sore neck or something.

[mkurts]

The team is probably looking at the 5th seed at this time so Pop does not care

[Johnsyounger]

if we had won this thread wouldn't exist. Quit questioning Pop from your moms basement. He knows what he's doing. You dont...

[Mugen]

:lol Shame you don't understand basic basketball strategy. Pop's fucked up plenty of times in the past, he's not beyond criticism tbh.

[Legacy]

Baynes had a sore neck or something.

Yeah, he was having neck spasms.

[Slippy]

You expect better crunch time execution of Manu Corey Joseph Splitter Diaw and Patty Mills.

A combo that i guarantee has never played together.

Right on.

If pop continues with 5 off 5 on sub pattern even when these guys are well rested then it will be hard to get that familiarity. Numerous combos wont get that chance to play together at all.

[timtonymanu]

if we had won this thread wouldn't exist. Quit questioning Pop from your moms basement. He knows what he's doing. You dont...

Ugh. Fans like this are just as annoying as the cliff-jumpers. Of course, knowledgeable fans respect Pop. It doesn't mean that he doesn't make bonehead decisions sometimes.

[wildchild]

The team is missing it's first and second best players

So missing your second best player isn't an excuse. Gotcha thanks.

Belinelli playing as SF took 3 rebounds, Manu 3 rebounds, Diaw...3 rebounds, Augustin 19 scored points, Drummond 20 points, Monroe 17 points...

I always see Parker as an amazing offensive player but never like a two-way player who can score, play great defense against the opposition's best perimeter player, rebound, helps bigs...

The guy who can does these things at Leonard's level is the best player on this team.

[wildchild]

Pop is still doing his best John Calipari's impersonation with the hockey line change...It isn't innovative, is just another bad idea.

[Ice009]

Pop is still doing his best John Calipari's impersonation with the hockey line change...It isn't innovative, is just another bad idea.

So Pop ripped that idea off from another coach. Did it work for Calipari or anyone else that has tried it? Did anyone else have success with it for more than a few games?

[wildchild]

Did anyone else have success with it for more than a few games?
No.

For example, North Carolina rolled out a "platoon system" in 2010. Ranked number 13 at the time, the team quickly rolled off nine loses in next 11 games.

[Chomag]

Pop's Ego is his biggest weakness.

[Johnsyounger]

:lol Shame you don't understand basic basketball strategy. Pop's fucked up plenty of times in the past, he's not beyond criticism tbh.
Of course he does. Game is easy to play in reverse, and your nary qualified to make an "coaching" decisions. Standard SA logic. I eat Whataburger 3 times a week and Taco Cabana the other days. Me coach good. This board has been on the downward for a long time.....

Pop has to be throwing these games out of bordom on purpose right? So he can add a never before seen season comeback story to his legacy right!?!

I honestly have no clue what he is doing.
