Phenomenal effort for Bud to win that award in just 2 years of being a head coach in the NBA.

[RD2191]

Come back Bud. Pop has lost it.

[in2deep]

Come back Bud. Pop has lost it.

I don't disagree with this. I think Pop (and our vets) are tired of basketball. we need new blood and hunger.

Bud is a winner, I believe he won almost all the games he took over while in the Spurs. he's a damn winner

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Difference between Kerr and Bud. Bud actually built that team. Acquired Korver, Williams, Muscala, Carroll, Schroder, Sefolosha.

I think the only mainstays on that roster pre Bud era are Teague and Horford.

Kerr basically took over a team Jackson had put together. That is why, imo, the writers voted for Bud, because you can say he was a self made man, whereas Kerr, was that kid that inherited what he got.

I agree.

I think coming back with exactly the same roster was a mistake (I hope they prove me wrong!).

I don't feel the hunger guys like DG or Mills had those last years + we are more predictable than ever

He had an undefeated recorded. What sold me on Bud was the last game against GS when the spurs won 50 games in the short season. Spurs came out like crap in the first half. Bud look so much like a nice guy but he was steaming on the sideline. I had never seen him so pissed. The Spurs came out in the 2nd half and clean the floor against a depleted Warriors team (remember Manu, Parker or Duncan weren't playing either).

I miss Coach Bud :cry

Yup. Wouldn't mind an infusion of younger hungrier players.

Hey, I wanted to reload in 2008 and this off-season. I always want to reload. We reloaded in 2006 and I think that team was pretty darn good, but unfortunately we got screwed over by the refs in the Dallas series (games 3 and 4 in particular) and Pop went retarded against Avery with his lineups. Man, thinking back that far, Pop really does have problems with his lineups.

Another reason to reload is - teams are going to be gunning for you, so coming back with the same team might not be the best motivation against those other teams that are looking to knock you off. Having some new blood, some new hungry player/s can help IMO. I also think that if you want to come back with the same team, then you'd want to have the best player in the NBA on your roster to be able to do that. I get what the Spurs were trying to do as there wasn't really much out there, but I don't think reloading could have hurt at all.

Spurs can still win. It's just going to be a lot harder to do it this way.

[21209]

If the Spurs aren't in the finals, I'll be rooting for Bud and the Hawks to win it all.

I think Pop and RC have gone too sentimental after this title...

Maybe it's just my imagination, but even if I have no doubt about Pop's competitive nature and will to win, BB isn't the most important thing for him as he said MANY times.
It seems as if he favored the human factor prior to the sporting one.

I mean Austin Daye? really? couldn't find better? Bonner is useless..

Even if there wasn't much out there, you can find better than those 2 at least

[milkyway21]

Well deserved !!! :toast:

[Budkin]

Hope he comes back some day! GO BUD GO!

[davidbowie]

Bud's a legend

Yup. Wouldn't mind an infusion of younger hungrier players.
You're not going to find players much hungrier than Tony and Boris.

Congrats to Bud, he deserves it!

Was never a huge bud fan, but congrats! They're times I wish you were on the bench asking what the hell Pop is doing.

The Hawks organization, upon finding out from NBA about the award, called Popovich to ask him if he wanted to break the news to Bud. He did.

Pretty funny how Pop is the Duncan of coaches, while Phil Jackson seems like the Kobe/DK of coaches, tbh:lol..

Phil is the Robert Horry of coaches. Did some good stuff, but was mostly involved with teams that had what it takes to win. He just made some decent moves at the right time, like Robert. Big Shot Phil.

I agree Phil is extremely overrated as a coach, I meant more from an ego standpoint..he's probably the most arrogant and egotistical coach in NBA, maybe sports history, just like Kobe/DK..there's a reason his coaching tree is what it is IMO..

Only a franchise as stupid as the Knicks would pay him all that money to run their team:lol..

Agree with the Kobe comparison. Despite Phil's rings, I can't accept someone that bitter as GOAT material. Funny guy and good coach, but still overrated. Plus his style is basically mind games + triangle + top 10 talent. Pop blows him out of the water as a visionary and communicator.

[SpurPadre]

Did you watch the above video?

Nah, my computer was acting up. Seeing it now, though. Didn't doubt he would do this...congrats Bud!

[apalisoc_9]

The big difference between Pop and Phil is how they command respect and the respect they give back. Pop's assistants genuinely love him and that's because never stops pointing the credit to his assistants. Plus even his ex assistants seems to have a good relationship with Him..PJ, was at his 1000 wins party I think.

He does have a god complex, overrates himself but I think that's more the wealthy nutjob religious faggot in him than anything to do with basketball. He was probably a prick even when he played.
