New Assistant Coach: The Great Timothy Theodore Duncan (Confirmed by Spurs!)

[DAF86]

Uh no. I was one of the loudest Kawhi is going to the Clippers posters on here for the better part of a year and even had people asking me why I was so confident.

I don’t claim to know everything and I certainly don’t do what you’re saying.

Also a huge difference in thinking something and hearing something similar to others which then makes everything more credible.

Like in the case of Beli. Heard the same thing that then Mo posted which is why I commented. You’ve seen Mo be accurate so are you saying Mo just made the Beli stuff up and was reading tea leaves because it did not happen? No.

The Beli thing is the only example you have of what you say. Go back and look at the Kawhi stuff and what I was posting vs what all the media and most everyone on here thought was the “likely” out come.

I don’t know any sources but talk to people Ive developed a friendly relationship with that share some stuff with me and I post it when I think it helps

It would help if you actually provided info other people didn't before, or real intel that doesn't sound like you are taking an educated guess, tbh. :lol

[superbigtime]

Waves of goosebumps. Tim. Glorious Tim.

Like Kawhi to the Clippers? And I already told you why I do it that way. I don’t have any direct sources. So I don’t feel comfortable posting anything like Mo. But if I hear something, then see that Mo or someone like Eric post it, then I say “ahh, cool, I can say that I heard something similar” as to spark more conversation or validate what is out there. Its not that complicated nor is it something to act like Im grandstanding about.

You can post all the laugh emojis you want but you just sound miserable and it’s ironic you telling other posters to post something of value.

I'm not telling other posters to post something of value, I'm just telling you to stop acting like you are providing intel when you aren't.

Also, are you serious son? I really thought you were just fucking around with all that "from what I heard" shit, but these weird butthurt rants of you make it seem like you are expecting folks to actually believe you. :lol

Sorry son, didn't mean to shit on the "I'm hearing stuff" parade. Continue to enlighten us with non-breaking information.

But I am - in my own way. You may be skeptical but I don’t really care about that. Also :lmao at calling me butthurt when you are the one ranting and :cry about “you aren’t providing real intel! Stop it!

I guess you will just continue to ignore the Kawhi/Clippers stuff too? I don’t start threads like Mo because I don’t feel comfortable as I described multiple times. I don’t ask for attention or run around that I have sources which is what I don’t get about your silly posts :lol.

I don’t have direct conversations. But I feel it’s nice for people to hear from someone else that is credible on the board (wether you cry over me or not) that can at least echo certain sentiments. That’s all I am doing when I say “I have heard” - it’s because I have. It’s not about me “breaking news” or trying; it’s not about me “providing intel”. It’s me saying I have heard something else which then bolsters THEIR intel because it means someone else has heard something similar and can add to the logic of piecing things together (that is where the tea leaves come in).

[Drom John]

I generally agree on the star players don't make good coaches. As a Washington Senators fan I though Ted Williams was very good, as well as that Damn Yankee Yogi Berra.

In the NBA:
Great players:
Larry Bird, good coach
Magic Johnson, bad coach
Bill Russell was pretty good with a great roster.
Isaih Thomas, awful

In betweeners:
Dave Cowens
Wes Unseld, disappointing, bad record, bad rosters

All-Star players:
Danny Ainge
Larry Brown
Maurice Cheeks, not good coach
Doug Collins
Bob Cousy, bad coach
Dave DeBusshere
Tommy Heinsohn
Phil Jackson
Doc Rivers
Paul Silas
Jerry Sloan
Paul Westphal
Lenny Wilkens

[ElNono]

Lateral move at best, tbh...

[TheCerebral1]

Best news of the offseason by a hundred fucking miles tbh

I couldn't agree more, wow, I'm floored. I didn't think you'd see Tim except for in the back areas working with guys in the gym on interviews. My god, Thank you!

DPG is the Jeff McDonald/Jabari Young of SpursTalk.

Mo and Eric are the Woj and Shams of SpursTalk.

Jeff and Jabari never break their own news. They always confirm the reports out there. Woj and Shams drop the initial reports.

[TheCerebral1]

Right when I was getting disinterested, they sucker me back in. Now trade that ball hog DeMar.

[bic50]

Had a feeling one day this would happen. This is great

[BackHome]

I always thought it would be Tony or Manu first but happy as hell to have one of them in the sidelines

[weebo]

So Becks lead assistant?

From my understanding the Spurs also made the same offer to Manu, but he declined.

Yep

[DPG21920]

What is really interesting is Stein wrote about Pop “struggling” to find assistant coaches. Just stuck out as an odd thing in his write up with no explanation.

Like people didn’t want to come to SA? He was struggling on quality people he wanted to work with?

I took that as having difficulty finding quality people he wanted to be around practically 24/7 for 6+ months at a time...At this point, I imagine coaching the Spurs is more of a life choice for Pop than professional choice--and at 70, you don't want to be around those who don't make life pleasant...

[Mugen]

I mean, it's essentially just a chance for them to hang out on Holt's dime tbh :lol

[ducks]

Why would anyone want to be around a angry bitter man about 2016?
Lost wife said more to life then basketball but if spurs do not have success with them they do not get more $$&&

[ducks]

Pop has been living on his reputation for 3 years and not coaching that great

I don't think it is Pop's last year.. And TD has had enough road time with Pop to last a lifetime.. He obviously wants to coach these guys.. Not saying be the HC one day. But he is a basketball encyclopedia. Wants to share it..

What makes you "credible", tbh? :lol

Also, what Kawhi stuff? When all the Lakers fans were bragging they were gonna get him I kept telling them he was going to the Clippers. Not because I knew shit, but because that had been the buzz for almost 2 years. :lol

[DAF86]

https://twitter.com/RealSkipBayless/status/1153841092631994369

From what I'm hearing this is bullshit. Pop Will be coaching, for at least, the next two seasons. Providing nothing strage happens.

[DAF86]

1153842117569110017

This is what I heard too, but Manu is too close to his retirement yet. He might think differently in the following years.

[MultiTroll]

From what I'm hearing:

Pop might coach 1, 2 or 3 more years.
Duncan might be an assistant then another position for 1, 2 or 3 more years.
Manu may or may not coach for 1, 2 or 3 more years.

[Ron Swanson]

This is what I heard too, but Manu is too close to his retirement yet. He might think differently in the following years.

Yeah, Timmy has been out of the game for a few years. Manu just retired and wants to spend time with his family. It makes sense.

[UZER]

Pop just need to retire already. He’s done enough. Nobody in the NBA wants to be around a 70 year old man 24/7.

[DAF86]

Yeah, Timmy has been out of the game for a few years. Manu just retired and wants to spend time with his family. It makes sense.

Ok Argie.

[DAF86]

Damn, what a comeback. I don't know how I will ever recover from that.

[YGWHI]

Who cares if Tim will keep coaching after Pop's retirement or not.

The Spurs need Tim NOW.

After Kawhi's drama/Ime departure/Morris shit... the Spurs need Tim to help Lonnie DJ Luka to grow up in Spurs environment.

The West is so open this new season that it would be a shame to get eliminated in first round again. I guess that's why Tim is here, too. To show that Spurs' championship pedigree.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Wow. Way to really lay it out there, Nostradamus.

Nah - this isn’t a fight. It’s a random poster yelling at the clouds because he’s been miserable lately. That’s all. I don’t have to explain myself to him and no one else feels the way he does so who cares?

I’m too old to fight with Manu-fan.

Wouldn't be surprised if Timmy is the next HC.

the position was originally offered to manu and he turned it down. then td volunteered.

Pre-game: a forced smile. Post-game: a huge.

Tim is a great guy and will know that Kawhi need a huge after the Spurs destroy Clippers in two weeks.

While the Spurs have their issues at least they play like an NBA team, the Clippers and Kawhi are playing like crap this preseason I doubt it will change in just a few days.

[Fireball]

a huge what? :lol

[tim_duncan_fan]

This is kinda crass but I really want to know the truth if there is something to it, simply because Tim never seemed the type to become a head coach:

Is Tim here because he is broke?

[daslicer]

TBH I think he's coaching right now because he's concerned about Pop's health and mental well being. Pop has gone through a lot the last few years with the #2 scandal, his wife dying, and getting burned by Marcus Morris. Tim views Pop as a father figure.

I think I could pick better individual players than KG and Ray Allen, but for team composition, that is a pretty awesome complementary collective.

[sasaint]

I would rather have Dirk than McHale. But in today's game, with the size of Magic and Bird, I might replace McHale with Logo.

103-100 Spurs lead with 13 seconds left. After DeFrozens 2nd missed FT,
Cavs call timeout.
Inbounds, clock to 10,9, 8..but Grandpa chooses not to foul and give 2 FTs. (You're ahead by 3 Grandpa).

Where have we seen this movie before?
Love sinks the three pointer for the tie.

Is this when Duncan said "Enough" and got up and left? Or was he already gone. Heaven forbid he is in agreement with this loser strategy.
