Steve Kerr already starting psychological warfare against Pop

[kobyz]

During the summer league game broadcast saying that if Spurs doesn't win next season after getting LMA it will be a shame and that Pop should not coach anymore if that happened, playing like he was joking but he's sure trying to put extra pressure on the Spurs, that man knows all the tricks... At about the 8:00 mark: http://youtu.be/i2cVnjL29eE

[tatteredprince]

Aha....any links? i want to watch that.....

[808]

If there is one mind you cannot break, it is Pop's.

[BD24]

If there is one mind you cannot break, it is Pop's.
Right? Trying to break an ex cia agent, that sounds plausible.

[tatteredprince]

was he disrespectful in any way, or just joking?

--------------------

i think Kerr is now afraid of the new Spurs

[Bartleby]

sounds like a playful echo of what Pop said a few years ago.

[hater]

He's a piece of shit.

Glad Goat used his face as a punching bag

Now? He was afraid last year.

[tatteredprince]

How do we compare now with the Warriors bench? i hope someone does an in-depth comparative analysis....

[Marcus Bryant]

Eh, talk is cheap.

We're better than them.

That's about it

[K...]

I think this is about as much a non story as you could manufacture. Dude also wants to create motive in his own team so he'll absolutely try and paint the spurs as the juggernaut. He knows his players are weak.

Hello Sir Marcus Bryant,

you being one of the very best analysts on this forum, may we request you to make a comparative analysis btween the Spurs vs the Warriors

if its ok with you Sir,

thanks a lot!

PS

im just really interested how we compare with them right now

i know

but they are still the champs, until we overthrow them

[tatteredprince]

i just hope the Warriors DONT repeat this year

[Obstructed_View]

Pop's not a little girl. That's not psychological warfare, that's how men who are friends joke with each other. That would work on Deandre Jordan, not on Popovich.

[Spurs9]

He ain't going to be smiling when we unleash Boban in our 2nd unit tbh :lol

Good to know we are in their heads.

He knows that he didn't have the big men last year to compete with San Antonio, now he knows he is really in trouble. Does he really think guys like Draymond Green and Andrew Bogut will be able to stay on the floor as San Antonio throws waives and waives of big men at them?

Their only hope is to go small ball against the Spurs and hope they can force our hand, but the problem is the Spurs big men like West, Diaw and Aldridge and Duncan and be effective defensively against small ball lineups but those lineups can't guard our big men.

This isn't a situation where we would have to take out a Tim Duncan because he can't keep up or Diaw or West, those guys are adgile enough to keep up with any of the wing guys the Warriors have.

I'm also pretty sure that Leonard will absolutely shut down anyone he is asked to cover and Green isn't far behind in that department. So we are going to give Curry and Thompson all they can handle. That means that guys like Igie and Draymond Green are going to have to put in monster nights just to keep up with what the Spurs bring.

Finally, and this is most important, the Warriors are going to have to defend the San Antonio offense, that means we are still going to force them to defend the 3pt line all the way to the basket all the while Parker is running around making Curry run through 3 picks to cover him. And those guys having to defend 2 big men that ultra effective going 18 feet in to the basket. Any plays they don't double down will likely result in a basket, a foul and a trip to the free throw line.

No surprise he is talking about San Antonio, I'm sure Kerr is just loving the idea of facing San Antonio in a 7 game series.

how about OKC? how do we stack up against them?

[kobyz]

There is no friends when it comes to winning titles, Kerr is competitive as hell and will do everything necessary to win like when he lied to his friend Dave Blatt about the lineup...

[TheDoctor]

The butthurt is strong with this Golden State fucker. But I feel sorry for his Congo abused ass. Imaging that whatever you do, the Spurs will destroy your pansies' ass no matter what. He just won a Championship and is already thinking in the nightmare that is playing his ass-raping competition. He's scared as shit as those WarriorsWorld delusionals.

Bench is a lot weaker than previous years. Spurs lost to Thunder because they had Harden that took them over the top.

Splitting hairs here, but Pop was only recruited out of the AF academy. He never worked for the agency.

hows that? kindly enlighten me.....

[Vito Corleone]

The crazy thing about this is for the most part Tim will start games and finish games, as will Parker, but in the middle, those guys won't be on the floor much. Neither will average more than 28 minutes per game. Tim won't get more than 24. Same can be said of Manu. Most nights Mills and the new PG will be getting the bulk of the PG minutes. The only guys that will be getting more than 35 minutes per game will be Aldridge and Leonard. Other than those two Green will get somewhere between 28 and 32 minutes per game.

Spurs are going to be a very well rested bunch, I doubt Tim or Manu will play in a single B2B game all season.

The only worry I have is the injury bug, and that is what every team should be worried about. As long as San Antonio can remain healthy I see no reason why we should worry about any competition.

[Fireball]

Only Thing he wants is to depressurize himself and the Warriors ...

[LkrFan]

:lol

[AFBlue]

Or so they want you to think.

Agree. He's probably still one of their best covert agents, hiding in plain sight. Lives in south Texas where the drug trade is rampant, in the same division with OKC and their meth-filled city...both of which likely find terrorism. Travels all over the country for eight months, then goes around the world visiting "wineries" for the other four. Yeah, he's definitely still in the game.

[bklynspursfan]

you guys realize he and pop have the same sense of humor and are pretty tight? didn't pop say something similar about himself when they traded for RJ, that if they didn't win it all he shouldn't coach anymore? it was obviously sarcasm

[bklynspursfan]

sounds like a playful echo of what Pop said a few years ago.

missed your post, but yes... glad someone got it :tu

[Kuvai]

Spurs are on mission to destroy the world and give grand GOOD BYE to GREATEST PF and GREATEST TEAM PLAYER ever TIMMY Freaking DUNCAN.

KERR IS a ANT infront of POP A Elephant.

[TheCerebral1]

Who the fuck cares what Kerr is doing. Had he gone up against the Spurs, he'd have lost in 6. The in-season series were classic examples that we were their worst match-up. Pop, doesn't allow a 1 year fluke of a coach getting on his better side.

[honestfool84]

Most of y'all are trying to make a story where there isn't any story whatsoever.

Kerr is clearly joking. Relax.

hear, hear

[hater]

Kerr is one of the biggest scumbags in the league.

[TDomination]

They were lucky to not have faced us. The NBA is about matchups and we matched up well with them, no matter what circumstances we were under. I know we could have beaten them and I know he knows that too.

So hopefully we meet each other this year in the WCF or whenever in the playoffs and spurs wipe the floor with their butt leaving no doubt who the better team is.

[UZER]

:lol Kerr still mad about those Suns playoff suspension against SA.

[BatManu20]

He was joking about about his friend.. :lol Spurfan getting up in arms over that

[spurs10]

Kerr is one of the biggest scumbags in the league. :lol Now that's a hard one to say with a straight face.

[TheGreatYacht]

Never understood why SpurFan rooted for that scrub in the finals. He hated the Spurs even in his broadcast days

[therealtruth]

sounds like a playful echo of what Pop said a few years ago.

Exactly and the Spurs ended up with a 50-32 season, 7th place in the West and got swept by the Phoenix Suns. I'd like to see Pop at least win once when he has the expectations.

[TXstbobcat]

Pop is playing chess. The rest of the league is playing checkers.

[dbreiden83080]

Completely kidding around..

[AaronY]

Kinda depressed so many are taking this seriously when he's obviously goofing around. Guess if your sole reason for posting here is to complain about how people treat the Spurs, any excuse will do

[MultiTroll]

If there is one mind you cannot break, it is Pop's.

Hah! The student trying to mess with the master. Good luck with that.

[FkLA]

You can tell the same idiots that think Kerr was being serious don't read other posts in threads. If they did, they'd listen to the 4-5 people that are telling them Kerr is clearly joking.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol why do some Spurs fans dislike Kerr? He loves the Spurs and always gushes over Pop and Duncan..

He even admitted that the Warriors were fortunate that they didn't play the Spurs in the playoffs..

[Russ]

He was joking about about his friend.. :lol Spurfan getting up in arms over that

Sometimes I wonder if my sense of humor is really in tune with what is considered funny here.

Then I see the sincere heart-felt anger by most to what was so obvious and harmless a joke that it couldn't possibly have been spun otherwise by even the most unscrupulous paid political consultant . . .

Well, sometimes I wonder . . .

[kobyz]

He is not just joking around, this is too extreme to be just a joke, there is for sure mind games behind this, when in history did you heard such thing said by a coach on other team and its coach? It's very odd and shifty, This is Kerr taking a lesson from the book of the zen master...

[DrunkTXLabrat]

It's gonna be a really sad day in San Antonio. Kerr and Curry are going to be showing lots of love and respect, during the post series press release. Then they're going to talk about focusing on Splitter and the Hawks.

Of course he was kidding.

We saw in the finals warriors soft as charmin. Cleveland was just severely outgunned.

Pop's not a little girl. That's not psychological warfare, that's how men who are friends joke with each other. That would work on Deandre Jordan, not on Popovich.

Spot on tbh

Check your PMs..

Shit dat game planning tbh

[AFBlue]

Don't get the Kerr hate at all. He's always been very complimentary of the organization, coaches, and players. Dude has drank the koolaid and approves tbqh.

"It's just basketball" :pop:

[Maj_G]

He said the same thing about himself sometime last season, when all the analytics were predicting the warriors to win it all.

Totally, Pop is a loser and naive, hate those coach fans that overrated him to be the second coming of Jesus, I'm sure most real fans feeling that he will find a way to fuck it up this time like the many other times he fucked up in the Tim Duncan Era, only by not fouling when up 3 he cost us 2 titles(2006, 2013), 2 times wasting 2-0 series lead with HCA(2004,2012), wasting great momentum and confident of coming to a season after a title to lose it out by phatetic regular season and chocking 2-3 lead against the Clippers(2015) and etc...

Are you seriously calling a coach who has coached the Spurs to 5 NBA titles a loser????????

Be careful. Pop's worshipped on these forums. Does he have his faults or could he have won more championships? Yes, but at the same time he's one of the best coaches in NBA history.
