Fire Greg Popovich

[Dennis the Menace]

He’s a master motivator but a fraud for a coach. Tim, Manu, and Kawhi aren’t here to carry him anymore. Pop built a flawed roster for a flawed system

[Blackjack]

It's definitely someone else's turn.

[BillMc]

Sure. As long as you keep Gregg Popovich.

[sananspursfan21]

You’re an idiot

[Play Boban]

This alcoholic is talking about drinking wine in the postgame press conference.

[UZER]

Trying to win a game 7 on the road with Mills and Forbes playing major minutes and down the stretch of the 4th. And before you say, “yeah well so and so wasn’t doing anything,” this is his roster. He put this team together. :lol

[hommeaetage]

Idiotic take. No coach would have been able to do anything else with these losers. You can blame him for assembling the team as part of the front office, but this loss was on Aldridge and DeRozan.
Sure Pop made some mistake as a coach, what coach doesn't. The reality is this group should be cut in half

[Dennis the Menace]

You’re an idiot

He literally made zero adjustments 😂😂 His only adjustment was increase Mills’ minutes

Popovich is NOTHING without Timothy Duncan and Manu Ginobili. Those guys made him

[J_Paco]

Moron.....

Anyone else coaching this team and they are lottery bound. He needs to make some drastic changes and move on from Patty Mills & Belinelli (if Lonnie progresses in SL and/or training camp).

Gotta stop using "corporate knowledge" and veterans as a crutch so he can earnestly build up the next generation....

(And no Bertans in the first half was silly, especially with everyone being ice cold.)

The reality is this idiot should be fired for creating this roster.

The burnout GM (Pop) is creating a flawed roster for the flawed system that the burnout coach is managing (Pop)

It’s all on Pop any way you look at it. There’s no sugar coating it. Pop is holding this organization hostage

You’re either trolling or you’re mentally disabled. I’m leaning toward the latter. Don’t forget to put your helmet on before you go out...

[gambit1990]

he won't get fired, he doesn't have to worry about be held accountable.

[gambit1990]

i'd like for him to step down and be an advisor... let's see what brent barry's got. he's VP of basketball operations. pop is currently prez.

He shouldn’t be fired. He’s earned the right to walk away. But dammit someone needs to strongly urge him to walk away.

It’s just time.

That’s not a defense. Pop created this roster

This team sucked and he got to 48 wins and a game 7 against a two seed.

Overachieving losers.

Why did it suck though? Who put the roster together?

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Amazing regular season coach. Average playoff coach.
Makes you appreciate how amazing the big 3 was to overcome this kind of shit.

[SouthTexasRancher]

Hopefully he'll just walk away once he drinks enough wine to clear his head and realize he is out of touch with today's NBA. Hate to go through another 2-3 years like the past 2-3 seasons. This team is better suited to be part of the cast of Dead Man Walking. There just ain't no fire in the belly. No heart.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

I would rather have Pop than someone else and I dont even like him that much. Some of yall dont know how good we have had it and how bad things can really get.

PSA: LOOK AT THE LAKERS, THEY SUCK AND ARENT COMING OUT OF IT ANYTIME SOON AND THEY HAVE FUCKING LEBRON, THINGS CAN GET SO MUCH WORSE THAN THEY ARE NOW. GROW UP.

Shhh, don't confuse him.

[DarrinS]

His era is over, tbh

If you think that happens than you are delusional. He will run back the same team next year

Isnt that RCs job?

[Hoops Czar]

RC is Pop's personal secretary.

Are you going to dispute his point or will your only contributions to this thread be throwing insults and running away like a pussy.

He said Pop made no adjustments besides playing Mills more. If he's trolling, you should easily win the debate my guy..

[DMC]

Everyone on the forum, all year, said nothing but how shitty the team is built and how they don't stand a chance. They lose in 7 in the first round and suddenly you had higher expectations. Faggots, the lot of you.

[UZER]

Isnt that RCs job?

Who gave RC his job? He has the title in name only. He’s basically like Dwight on the Office. He’s “Assistant TO the Regional Manager.” :lol

You think Pop isn’t still pulling those strings?

[DavidTheGoliath]

So how can the GM fire the coach if he is just the coachs secretary or something?

[UZER]

So how can the GM fire the coach if he is just the coachs secretary or something?

Who said the GM was going to fire him? We just told you he has no power over Pop.

[TheGreatYacht]

Its 2019 and craterface...

- hates 3-pointers
- got his roster built on corporate knowledge beat by a bunch of kids
- benched his best defender for a fat wombat
- willingly built a team around the core of career winners Derozan-LMA-Gay
- managed to prepare his team to score 4 points in the first 9 minutes of a game 7
- get carried like his teacher Larry Brown used to
- would've had Donovan Mitchell in Austin this time last year

C- bro, big difference.

Bad enough to aknowledge he had a bad game, but not bad enough to get the popsuckers on my case for failing the GOAT

[Hoops Czar]

Pop isn't firing himself so he'll be back unless Pop's protege Becky is ready to takeover the reigns.

[HarlemHeat37]

Pop's the GOAT, he will leave on his own terms whenever he wants..he just took the 2 seed to the final moments of a game 7, too, so it's not like his system doesn't work anymore..

[DavidTheGoliath]

Not to be sexist but i wouldnt wish for that. Becky being head coach will start all kinds of feminist movement. It would ruin basketball for sure.

Exactly.

Imagine this team with Becky at the helm :lmao

[monty4329]

He literally made zero adjustments  His only adjustment was increase Mills’ minutes

Popovich is NOTHING without Timothy Duncan and Manu Ginobili. Those guys made him

They got back in the game from -17, the adjustments were there and worked.

The problem was going into game-7 with a totally wrong offensive plan,you simply cannot score 34 points in the first half.
The biggest problem on a larger scale was to rely on DDR for the whole season (that was maybe necessary, it is already hard to get FA to SA...).

History proves Pop is an overrted playoffs coach, though. This series was already won and could have been a sweep. Still, good luck with next coachesse.

[RD2191]

Pop and RC are building a culture of choking and losing. Hopefully they both gtfo sooner than later.

[duncan2k5]

Pop wouldn't have been able to coach the clippers to the playoffs... He wouldn't have been able to coach the nuggets to the 2nd spot... He wouldn't have been able to coach the bucks to the top record... And if we were in those positions, we would have said we don't have enough talent... Those coaches maximized their talent... He definitely wouldn't have been playing the young players, so they wouldn't have developed into competent players today... Pop today isn't the Pop that won us five rings... The mind changes, motivations change, the game also changes

[J_Paco]

If you think that happens than you are delusional. He will run back the same team next year

Who knows, he has 2 1st round picks and will need to re-sign Rudy. He'll need to start leaning on the younger players especially at the guard positions.

I can't wait to see how this place behaves once the current regime is gone, the winning is over and we become the Suns, Bulls & Knicks. Be careful what you wish for.....

You are beyond stupid, man. As if Pop didn't lean on young players (Poeltl, White, Forbes & Bertans...), although if you actually argued he should have more then I would agree.

The Clippers ended up with a lower seed and worse record, yet Pop couldn't have done what Doc Rivers did. *Eye roll*

The Bucks and Nuggets are more versatile, talented have elite talent (Giannis & Nikola) but somehow one of the greatest coaches ever could do what Bud and Malone did.

There is a segment of this fanbase that is moronic, toxic and needs a whole lot of perspective....

You included, idiot....

[jjktkk]

Why did it suck though? Who put the roster together?

What were your expectations given that the big 3 are gone and Leonard forced PATCO to trade him? A title contender? A threat to GS? Yeah this a flawed roster. Kawhi played a major part in it. Don't let your hate for Pop cloud your judgement.

[ceperez]

Spurs development system and attention to detail are elite. That's how the Spurs without a lot of talent survive to make it to the playoffs.

What was obviously lacking this year was any capability of defense.

That and a lack of attempts from the 3point line. Spurs aren't doing anything to get a 3 point shooter open. The mid-range players like DeRozan and Aldridge aren't looking to pass.

Also, in game management isn't what it used to be. Spurs need a younger coach that pays attention to details on the court. Pop is more a big picture guy who has no business micro-managing the game.

All of this. So sick of having to watch Lamarcus Aldridge/Derozan chuck contested 2's all fucking game. Are we certain at this point that Pop designed the 2014 offensive scheme? Because it sure doesn't seem like it.

[dbestpro]

Rather trade DDR, LMA and Mills for players who love the game more than themselves. The quit on Pop. Quit on the Spurs, and quit on the fans.

[ElNono]

I can't wait to see how this place behaves once the current regime is gone, the winning is over and we become the Suns, Bulls & Knicks. Be careful what you wish for.....

The winning has been over for the past two seasons, tbh. The way this league is structured, you want to be those teams, get high picks. That was the Nuggets, Blazers, OKC, even the Dubs a few years ago.

[Dennis the Menace]

Idiotic thread, tbh.

From a coaching standpoint (X’s, O’s), what are Pop’s strong suits? (Compared to his coaching peers)

Offensive design? No. He’s middle of the pack.
In game adjustments? No. He’s average at best.
Timeouts - drawing up plays? Pre-2014 yes. Since then? Astounding no.
Game planning? Yes, this has been an area of strength.
Defensive strategy? Yes, this has historically been an area of strength.

Pop is 70 years old. He’s not going to out-innovate anyone. He is what he is. The challenge is, his strengths as a coach have faded. For a coach who takes pride in defense, he builds a team full of no defense. His time has passed and he should’ve hung them up with Timmy.

Pop is being exposed in the sense that Timmy, Manu, and Kawhi masked his deficincies. It’s only going to look worse for him

[cjw]

Why did it suck though? Who put the roster together?

Kawhi forced a trade. What were the other packages out there? The Lakers didn’t want to trade any of their decent prospects (who look worse now in retrospect). The Sixers wouldn’t even trade Fultz.

Pop got forced into this awful roster because of a malcontent, and the team lost three All Defensive Team perimeter players once Murray got injured. It was patchwork to say the least.

[sasaint]

He literally made zero adjustments 😂😂 His only adjustment was increase Mills’ minutes

Popovich is NOTHING without Timothy Duncan and Manu Ginobili. Those guys made him

and maybe Bud...

[cjw]

4 titles the first 11 seasons, 1 title the last 12 seasons. quit living in the past and licking PATFO taint :lol

List of other teams who’ve won titles since 2007...

Celtics superteam
Lakers with Kobe/Gasol before he sucked/Odom before he OD’d/Bynum before his knees went
Dirk pulled one out of his ass
Lebron x3
Warriors

That’s it

Of those teams listed above, the Lakers, Mavs, Heat and Cavs are in varying degrees of disaster, though Mavs did luck out with two dumb GM trades this past year. And the Warriors had to get a snake to join them to win a second title.

While that is glaringly apparent, it is hard to give much credence to his "big picture". After all, in the big picture he constructed this roster and stayed the course with it. Before that his "big picture" included the Pau's and Mills' contracts. Probably more examples.

Pretty sure the team is still a playoff contender and hasn't gone under .500 for a season. Only the Warriors are a title contender amongst the teams you mentioned and even they needed great fortune to reach that level.

Who saw Curry as an all-time great PG & Klay/Draymond as great core pieces coming out of college. Obviously, the same can be said of Parker, Ginobili (overseas) and Leonard.

I understand that doesn't suit your narrative, but plenty of teams have tanked and tanked and tanked with no titles in sight....

Why did Kawhi force a trade? A “goat” coach that players supposedly love (the people’s coach), couldn’t find a way to keep him? All the love and adoration Pop gets from player and media, and he couldn’t keep Kawhi?

[Spurs oman]

I don't trust his plays it always feels that will brick after a timeout , yet he was fun to watch for 20+ years brought rings and deserves to leave without firing

Lol. Seriously?

It is what it is because Kawhitter forced his hand. Have some of you fools forgotten recent history?? I mean seriously, fuck all the way off.

And in case you have forgotten, we were up on the #1 seed in 2017 when ZaZa struck. Then Nephew happened.

[DavidTheGoliath]

So who do you guys suggest to replace Pop?

No KL didn't force them to rely on undersized non-athletic players. If anything he was masking the roster defeciencies. Granted the injury to DJ hurt the plans since Pop considers him their best defender. But you need more than 1 guy.

[Hoops Czar]

Lol. Seriously?

And in case you have forgotten, we were up on the #1 seed in 2017 when ZaZa struck. Then Nephew happened.

What's your point? The Spurs won game one against the #2 seeded Denver and led by 19 in game 2 before losing the series. They weren't beating Golden State in a series no matter how many times you try to spin it.

[therealtruth]

All true, plus I am tired of having an asshole as the Spurs' top dog. I hate the press, too; and they are morons for the most part. But I would like the Spurs' HC to get over himself and behave with some civility in post-gamers.

Agree his act with the press gets old. The guy refuses to own up to his mistakes. He should have said my fault I should have made sure the team was better prepared to take a foul in that situation. Instead he says LA didn't hear him over 20000 people and sounds like a moron.

[TDMVPDPOY]

look at some of his students in the nba who did good,

how about pops h2h record against them? i dont believe he tank games on purpose so they can g et a win, a shit kent is a shit kent

What's your point? The Spurs won game one against the #2 seeded Denver and led by 19 in game 2 before losing the series. They weren't beating Golden State in a series no matter how many times you try to spin it.

What's my point?

Clearly comprehension isn't your strong suit? How many would be bitching about this team if we were still riding Kawhi and gang toward the WCF as we speak??

Actually, stupid question. Most of you would be anyway because all too many of you fools are idiots.

And yes, only one team can be called the best team ever assembled. So if we don't win the LOBT against that team, you still need to bitch, huh?

[Hoops Czar]

Pop's the GOAT, he will leave on his own terms whenever he wants..he just took the 2 seed to the final moments of a game 7, too, so it's not like his system doesn't work anymore..
You act like this should be a total surprise taking an inexperienced team to the brink of an elimination game with supposedly two all-NBA players on his roster. Classic harlem post :lol

So, who should replace Pop?

[JeffDuncan]

So, who should replace Pop?

The most influential voice for naming his successor will be Pop, himself.

Which means we should prepare to see a head coach version of wombat.

He's a great coach, but he overcoaches way too fucking much. I've had to explain to people that if he were coaching GS, they wouldn't be as good as they are because he'd be fucking with the rotations and as soon as someone gets hot, he would call a timeout and bench then. It's what he does. And we all know he does this bullshit, but some like to ignore it.. Every year there are some guys that should never be on the floor together, but he makes sure they are ALWAYS on the floor with each other. Most recent, these combinations have included Mills/Gasol, Mills/Bellineli, Diaw/West.. I absolutely hate seeing us get a big lead, because then he starts his bullshit trying to show the world how smart he is.

to be fair Pop plays stupid line ups when up 10 or more points during the regular season to see which line ups work and to have everybody on the floor with every combination. It's kind of understandable since the regular season is nothing but a bigass training camp for him. But doing that in the playoffs is totally retarded and unnecessary

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

All true, plus I am tired of having an asshole as the Spurs' top dog. I hate the press, too; and they are morons for the most part. But I would like the Spurs' HC to get over himself and behave with some civility in post-gamers.

In case you hadn't noticed, the Spurs were up 1-0 and led by 19 in the second half of game 2 until Pop struck.

Yup
