[Vokun]

He really is. Without Tim Duncan, Pop wouldn't be nearly as celebrated as he is. Hell, you can argue that Duncan would have at least 2 more rings if it weren't for Pop.

[hater]

What the fucked happen to hack a simian?????/

[TheGreatYacht]

Tbh

[spursistan]

I wouldn't say he is over-hyped..but he is probably no longer pound for pound best coach in the league..It is a concern that going to potential Clippers series we have to worry about Pop getting out-coached by Doc Rivers even with the talent he has..

[Spur|n|Austin]

I thought OP offed himself already?

Without the greatest player of all time in Jordan + Pippen & Kobe + Shaq, Phil wouldn't be nearly as celebrated as he is.

Without Bill Russell + Sam Jones + John Havlicek, Red Auerbach wouldn't be nearly as celebrated as he is. Etc, etc.

Coaches don't win without elite talent, period.

This is correct. The coaches that are considered the best that have dynasties are always going to have elite players. We can't go back in time to give Pop a team without Duncan. But my guess is that he's still be considered a great coach. Of course not on the same level as one that had 5 rings. But something like Carlisle.

[spursistan]

I think Carlisle is better coach in 2016..There are up and coming brilliant X and Os guys like Stevens in Boston but will need to win in the playoffs before we anoint him..Stan Van Gundy is not that far off..

6 aside, Pop 2012/2013/2014 were masterful coaching jobs considering how over-matched in talent at the top the Spurs were..That's no excuse in 2016..Anything less than competitive 6 game series with Warriors, i would officially consider Pop to have underachieved with this team relative to previous "done more with less" runs. ..

Are you calling him fat?

[TheGreatYacht]

Lol, Pop without Tim is fired in 2 years. Probably would've ended up like Bob Hill.

His system was literally 4 down for about a decade lol

[Budkin]

We all thought that post 6

[Clipper Nation]

OP is a faggot. Can't blame Kawhi, can't blame Manu, so Pop gets thrown under the bus this time to protect Porker.

[Kawhitstorm]

Poop without Tim:
-1996-97: 17-47:lmao
-2000 playoffs: Only won one game from a Suns team w/o Kidd/HCA:lmao

[daslicer]

Pop's biggest strength to me is developing young players.

I don't even think Tim Duncan played in the playoffs that year. Didn't he tear his meniscus or something like that before the playoffs even started?

He was almost fired with Tim.


But yeah, everyone that considers him in the NBa as the best coach is wrong, and basement dwelling retards on a message board know more

You just prove why pop is most overhyped coach of all time, can't compare pop to those great coaches, pop in comparison to them is soft as a nice white pussy, losing titles because of stupidity, naiveness and arrogance making spurs very underachiever in his time...

Wow what an embarrassing thread

Pop is the main reason the Spurs have 5 rings, show some respect

With any other coach, the Spurs would have 0 championships, his system has elevated every player he has ever had

He didn't run a system for years. He almost got fired in 99 because he ran an awful offense with some of the worst off-ball movement I've ever seen from a contender.

Terrible trolling.

Sorry but nobody outside of this message board agrees with you

Only Tim Duncan homers downplay Pop

[apalisoc_9]

Pop is overrated and he eats recgonition away from his best players but hes helped develop a culture that's important to winning. Hes a huge reason why the spurs has had great regular season consistency together with RC.

[Spurtacular]

Jerry Sloan is the best coach of all-time, imo.

[Mister Sinister]

k

[apalisoc_9]

Jerry Sloan:lmao

Pop js easily a top 5 coach though. Not from an x and o standpoint but just his ability to control superstars like TD-Kawhi-Drob and stars like Manu and Parker..not to mention headcases like Jacksom

[james evans]

Popovich is a great coach, but like Larry Brown, he suffers from too much overcoaching. Then u have guys like Kerr and Jackson that can't coach for shit. They are great at managing players and just letting them go. I don't know too many coaches that are great at coaching without overcoaching and are great at the x's and o's. Maybe Bird when he was in indiana. Or Lenny Wilkins and Daly. .

[spursistan]

Bump..

[313]

Steave Kerr a better coach by miles...

[kobyz]

Phil is 42-0 all time when he had 1-0 lead in the series... Guess what Pop record when he with 1-0 lead?

[cd98]

And get rid of that beard already!!! Yes, Pop is overrated. He used to be underrated, but after 2014 in particular, he became radically overrated. With the teams he's had and losing in the first and second round the last two years, that's borderline a fireable offense in the NBA. That said, he's still a top tier coach and not easily replaceable.

Definitely coat tailing off of his past coat tailing success.

Imagine a two year coach having the exact same roster with the exact same results as CIA Pop had vs Clippers and now Thunder.
Concur, firing would be considered if not done.

[apalisoc_9]

Damn...I cant believe I am agreeing with the Op.

Smdh.

[TheDoctor]

You all should get over yourselves - :pop:

[timtonymanu]

Love Pop, but he's lost it. the final straw was the snark remark he made to cover up his horrible coaching in the playoffs the last two years.

NASA discovered 1200 habitable planets the other day, get over yourself. This is basketball - :pop:

[hater]

I'll give him the benefit of the doubt due to his 5 rings tbh. Agree he's not top 5 coach ever. He's not even a top 10 in-gane coach ever. But he is still a HOFer and top 10 coach in history.

But he sure is getting exposed these last couple years. We went out in round 1 and round 2. He might be done

[GSH]

"Pop is the most overhyped coach in history of sport!!!"


Just curious. How many "hyped" coaches are there, in the history of sport? Is there like a "Top 10 Most Over-Hyped Coaches" list that Pop is at the top of?

[spursistan]

he has drastically lost awareness of the game flow especially in playoffs..dude is wired for regular season dreary December games...he only shows urgency when the time is basically done and dusted in a series.

Danny fuckin Green was in 2013 Finals mode in Game 5 and yet this overrated fuck only saw him fit or 28 minutes when the season was on the line..

[spursistan]

without 2014 and 4 previous ships, he would have been Avery johnson status: Avery's 2006 = Pop's 2013 (Finals Choke) / Avery's 2007 = Pop's 2016 (67- win team flame-out) /Avery's 2008= Pop's 2015 (1st round exit)...

Little General got the boot at the end of that three-year cycle..

[rjv]

only thing worst than trolling is unoriginal trolling.

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop could easily fill 250 pages worth of snarky remarks he's made after making terrible in game decisions. The guy has never ever admitted that anything is ever his fault but he will never have a problem with throwing his players under the bus and that is never a good quality for a coach. I wonder when he calls a quick timeout and Pop lays into Danny if he ever looks at him and says, "it's just basketball, get over yourself."

I wonder what would happen if Pop just played the best players the most minutes. He's been going against the grain of shortening your rotation in the playoffs to who shows up and then just blames the loss on the players. That's the one area he has direct influence over (who plays).

[SnakeBoy]

So you're saying if you take away all of the :lobt2: then Pop is no better than a coach with no :lobt2:

Yeah yeah.

What's Riley without Magic and Kareem?

What's Jackson without MJ, Pip, Shaq and Kobe?

What's any coach without generational talent?

[kobyz]

The ability to make the team win and be tough and not naive and soft...

[therealtruth]

The lack of fight and record in elimination games points to the mental softness Pop instills in them. That's what kills me the most.

Should also be noted that He went .500 with a team that Bob Hill had gon 62-20 59-23 with the previouse year.

Gregg fired Bob Hill the day Robinson was to Return and went L, L,W,W,W,L then he got re-injured or "tank shut down" depending on who you believe.

Only a idiot like you would quote Dennis Rodman or think that Bob Hill was anywhere near a competent NBA coach. If he was so great why was he never given another NBA job?

Pop has done a shit job this year to be sure, but anyone that questions what he's meant the Spurs over the last 20+ years is dumb or a hating ass revisionist.

It does suck that he continues to trust fringe players like Forbes and Belinelli instead of the players he himself chose to draft. SMDH

Agree with Pop being overrated but fuck Rodman. Dipshit believed his absence was the reason why the Spurs were losing that season instead of acknowledging that injuries caused the Spurs downfall.

[J_Paco]

Did he or didn't he have a .500 record with the same team as Bob Hill?

Are you saying that Dennis Rodman is a Bumb of a Player, cause it sounds like you are?


HEHEHEHEEhhahahaha

Who gives a fuck about Bob Hill's winning percentage. He sucked and let Rodman walk all over him. Again, if he was so great why did no one attempt to bring him in after his time in San Antonio? Answer: Because he sucked as a NBA coach and was propped up by the greatness of an in his prime David Robinson.

Rodman is/was a POS, that threw D. Rob under the bus (in the media) every opportunity he could get. He could eat a dick and definitely doesn't belong in the HOF. He was a good or great role player but nothing more.
