What do you guys think of his comments??

I think you should post under your main screen name.

[skulls138]

I think many people have eaten their words when it comes to the Spurs. And then comes the amnesia concerning said words, rinse, repeat. Yawwwnn...

[RD2191]

OP is a faggot.

[aal04]

Fair enough call considering our games against GSW and Cavs this year.

We have to prove him wrong.

[DeRozan m8]

Look at how cut Dallas and Miami got at us.

Teams are just angry the Spurs legacy continues and we're so humble and professional along the way.

Imagine Pop coming out and saying something like this?

This is why this scrub has been so horrid this year for the Pels....just a flog

[MaNu4Tres]

Why not just start a thread of every opinion of the millions of fans out there because that's pretty much what Gentry is right now -- a fan of the opposing team with the line ups he throws out on the court.

[HBK]

I think his comments are shit, just like this thread.

am i really gonna have to give you a little sweet chin music Benoit?

[Kawhitstorm]

Except the Thunder won't get past the Spurs:lol

Quit talking to yourself phag...

:lol @ thinking were the same person

[houston spurs fan]

Fool is lucky to be in his first year or he'd have already suffered the fate of Mchale, Fisher, Hornecek, Hollins, etc...have fun getting fired again next year....

He's just salty because he still reeks of Suns blood, tbh.

[T Park]

I don't listen to lottery team's coaches

[wildcardX]

OP is a faggot.

:lol Well, that didn't take long.

[HarlemHeat37]

To be fair, the Spurs are one of the only teams the Pelicans have looked good against, this season:lol..probably didn't leave the best impression..

[SpurPadre]

If only he'd sent Anderson to tear Durant's nut instead of Manu's. Fucking asshole.

I think nothing of his opinion, he is an awful coach

[offset formation]

Dubs coaching staff certainly feels that way apparently. Heard Walton say after their win over Thunder last week that the Warriors would "likely" see them in the playoffs.

Only way that happens, given the probable playoff seeding, is if Thunder take down Spurs.

Spurs need to show them something, or at least more than the last game, the next time they meet.

[exstatic]

I don't listen to lottery team's coaches

Especially since basically the same team made the WC playoffs last year.

You make a good point, spurraider21.

[freetiago]

Black coaches tbh...

[ChumpDumper]

You make a good point, spurraider21.You think I'm spurraider21?

Seriously?

[HarlemHeat37]

You just figured that out?:lol old news, tbh..

If he is judging based on close results between Thunder & Dubs, he might as well include Bucks, Mav, Pistons & Nuggets.

[DenialTwist]

Gentry is lucky he isn't fired by now because Monty did a hell of a lot better last year than he has done this season. Their defense hasn't improved and their offense is still struggling.
Anyways, Gentry doesn't like the Spurs. Amin hinted this a long time ago on NBA lockdown. They are close friends from his Suns days and they believe the Spurs cheated going to the Finals.
Of course he says this after the Spurs got beatdown by the Warriors and Cavs in one week a lot of writers came out and said the Spurs weren't a threat to the Warriors anymore. OKC's defense is middle of the road and their bench is one of the worst in the league. It will only be magnified in the playoffs. Sure OKC is a challenge but they won't be able to beat the dubs in a 7-game series.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs would struggle mightily to push GS to 6 games.

[kobyz]

Spurs are easy to stop with an overrated defense, everybody know that spurs is not a match for the dubs...

[spurs10]

Consider the source.

[daslicer]

This guys is a Lakers troll but he's going to troll this forum to death. Some mod needs to erase his troll threads and put them in the NBA forum.

[SouthernFried]

How 'bout we wait and see what happens?

Until then, everything else is akin to old women gossiping.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

If you think about it, Monty Williams wife would still be alive if NO didnt fire him for this dumbfuck Alvin Gentry

[FireMicoHalili]

Gentry sucks. I would not take his word for it.

[kobyz]

Gentry with true bomb... Spurs fans here still bitter from the sweep Gentry gave them with Phoenix...

[Slippy]

Let other nba fans,coaches and media have their hype.

3 things.

No Tim Duncan.

27 or whatever turnovers.

Best D in the league. That last quarter against the magic comeback win. Lockdown defense when it was needed the most.

[BillMc]

It will be fun to prove Gentry wrong.

As far as the regular season, the game next month against the Dubs will be most telling. The games in April with the playoffs coming soon and the standings possibly set are likely to have players resting or coaches unwilling to show their cards.

[K...]

Cia pop..directing a competing coach to shit on the spurs to keep la Marcus and Tony motivated. Pop knows he has the most fragile egos in the western conference.

[SpursIndonesia]

If we really think about it, i think you have a point, fella. Monty wouldn't be all and end all of coaches, but he sure took that limited team to the play off in the competitive western conference of last season. Life is not fair, but at least give him another season to further prove his acumen before assessing any other alternatives.

[Texas_Ranger]

lol NO for even fireing Monty for this idiot.

[DenialTwist]

Grant Hill just said on NBA TV now, during the Rising stars practice, that the Thunder can beat the spurs in the playoffs. He said teams don't have an answer for KD and WB.

[FkLA]

The Spurs have historically shit the bed on other contenders' courts during the regular season. I remember when playing at OKC in the reg season was a sure blowout loss. I was actually surprised the Spurs led most of the way against them opening night this year.

That's why I don't consider the Warriors to be on a different level despite the blowout loss at Oracle. If they beat the Spurs by 30 at the AT&T then I'll be worried tbh.

Of course they can beat the Spurs:lol

I'm not afraid of them due to their defense and number of shitty rotation players, but they have the 2nd best player in the NBA and another guy that is 4th or 5th..that can't be ignored, especially if Ibaka positively regresses..

[Sean Cagney]

Alvin Gentry sucks....

Should be a competitive battle. I'd bet on the Spurs if Tim and Manu can play.
