Only Gregg Can Make IV Consistently Look Like A Scrub

[Spurtacular]

Back to sh** minutes and sh** synchronicity as the likes of Forbes, Mills, Belli are higher in the pecking order.

[Joseph Kony]

quit making threads faggot, no one gives a fuck what you think

[J_Paco]

Exactly, and it'll take more than one great performance for Lonnie to just be given a rotation spot.

He's seeing court time and is the 3rd guy off the bench after Mills & Gay. He needs to remain aggressive and not get too pass happy or passive offensively (which I thought he was at time tonight).

And playing Marco worked out and he didn't get completely destroyed on defense in the 4th quarter and overtime.

[Dex]

Why don't you make another thread to bitch about it? Maybe that will help

[Spurtacular]

He literally played the least amount of minutes of the eleven players who played tonight, even coming off that MVP caliber performance. I can't see the justification, tbh. Yea, maybe he'll get more minutes despite Gregg at some point, but not before Gregg makes sure he knows who's ring he has to kiss.

[ismael-robert]

Pop made him shoot 20% n get 2 turnovers?

[illusioNtEk]

Pop is teaching him to play great every min he is in the court. Won't take 50% effort.

[slick'81]

White,murray&walker werent exactly excellent tonight but they keep fighting

[tmtcsc]

Murray still looks like shit. He drives all the way to the rim just to dish it back out unnecessarily. Sean Elliott even mentioned it. "I'd like to see Dejounte finish that drive by taking it all the way to the rim instead of kicking it back out".

IV's the problem. He's a scrub right now, amirite?

[exstatic]

IV's the problem. He's a scrub right now, amirite?

He’s not a scrub, but he does play scurred a lot. He was dribbling around, doing nothing, not attacking like he did last game. That got him the hook. At the end of his second stint, Pop had some sharp words for him, and I knew he was done for the night.

[My Fault]

He's not a very good coach; it's not about hating him.
:lol just a 5 time championship coach but you’re right, you’d do so much better coaching the team. If you were coach Lonnie wouldn’t have looked like a scrub, you would’ve been out there helping him hit his shots and prove it wasn’t just one game :rolleyes

[Spurtacular]

Yea, Tim Duncan wasn't going to win without Pop :tu

:lmao

I would recognize that I have a super athletic player who has significantly improved his game and I wouldn't be pulling this leave him out of the rotation bull shit. That's how it works everywhere else. What makes you think Gregg is so special?

[ElNono]

but but but I was told Pop's tough love is what suddenly made him a premier player in this league... sniff sniff

He is passive out there; that's the byproduct of being bitch slapped over and over. You got to trust your player if you want him to succeed. It honestly boggles my mind that someone of Gregg's experience patently doesn't understand this.

[Spurtacular]

I think TD is a top five player of all-time. It was gonna take a helluva a shitty coach for him to not end up with rings.

Exactly...funny how we love to shit on phil and kerr amd say any coach could have won with those teams, but ignore the fact that we had tim duncan and prop up Pop as a coach

[dbestpro]

Pop was a good coach who had great players. Key word is "was". What kept Pop from being a great coach was his rotations. All those rings were because of great players and a good coach. Right now we have neither.

Was it he hurled that 3 pointer instead of passing? But Lonnie should take control and just let it fly. That’s his game. He needs to continue attacking the rim, same as White/Murray. They’re so athletic, it’s tragic they waste dribbling around too much.

[hater]

walker the 40th is an overhyped scrub

wake up

[My Fault]

I would recognize that I have a super athletic player who has significantly improved his game and I wouldn't be pulling this leave him out of the rotation bull shit. That's how it works everywhere else. What makes you think Gregg is so special? because being super athletic is all it takes to succeed in the NBA? By gawd you guys are highly overrating Lonnie. He didn’t do anything with the minutes he got against the Kings. He had ONE good game where he was hot and he got extra minutes so the hot hand could be feed but other than that he’s shown mere flashes in between being mediocre.

That's always been his weakness IMO. More specifically, always having a fetish for that one guy that everyone knows is a scrub yet continually playing him big minutes because "veteran savvy" i.e. Matt Bonner

[exstatic]

If you just throw him out there, he’ll eventually turn into Ben Mclemore, a journeyman already at age 26. He’s super athletic, and has a nice 3 pointer. Sound familiar? He also never got an extension, signed with Memphis, got traded back to Sacto with another player and some cash for Garrett Temple :lol and is now with Houston. He’s playing less than gleague find Daniel House, and is only playing at all because Gordon is out until New Years.

THATS what happens when you fail to develop players properly, and just throw them out there. Ben played 164 games his first two seasons. He played 19 before Sacto waived him last February.

[donaldsonian]

guess why he does that? Pop neutered him...not the guy is afraid to take over the game offensively like he used to at the beginning of the season

Murray has had trouble with his drives to the rim since his rookie season. You can’t blame it all on the coaches.

Isn't your best friend Timmy on the coaching staff?

Just stop with what Pop neutered and what he didn't, capische? You know shit, other than your man love for neph clouded your judgement about all else.

Coahing is overrated at the pro level. Players make the coaches

[RC_Drunkford]

but but but I was told Pop's tough love is what suddenly made him a premier player in this league... sniff sniff

He's not a franchise player yet, he has to bench him some more to make him reach his full potential

[RC_Drunkford]

I think Walker is being too assertive out there. He has to be aggressive on offense, that's when he had his best games. But that's also partly on Pop, cause he always gets in his players heads with all that move the ball stuff. Even LaMarcus was scared to shoot sometimes when he first got here. Bryn Forbes and Belinelli have the green light to chuck up anything though

[jjktkk]

He is passive out there; that's the byproduct of being bitch slapped over and over. You got to trust your player if you want him to succeed. It honestly boggles my mind that someone of Gregg's experience patently doesn't understand this.

Could you please provide a reference of your coaching experience on here? I've got a sinking suspicion that you don't know what the fuck you're talking about.

[daslicer]

Gee, no shit, really? Show me a list of NBA coaches that won championships without great players? Phil Jackson, Erik Spoelstra?

Coaching in the NBA tends to be overrated compared to other sports. It's more about the players than the coach in the NBA. Lebron especially proved this when he won with Ty Lue in Cleveland. There was a period during the early '00s where Riley quit being a coach because he couldn't win with the talent he had. Riley then came back as the coach of heat once they had both Shaq/Wade and suddenly he was great again when only a few years earlier he was considered washed up. Phil Jackson was garbage from '05-'07 when the Lakers were low seed first round and out team. Lakers get Gasol and suddenly he goes back to being the great Zen Master again.

90 percent of the success when it comes to winning is the players. I only give coaching 10 percent and that has to with them dictating substitutions, match ups. Right now Pop is sucking with the substitutions ala playing Belli when he shouldn't be out there.

Exactly. And how coincidental is it that Pop's coaching is becoming more and more questionable since the big 3 got old and Leonard forced his way out of town?

[JeffDuncan]

...

Which means 90% of the success is gained through roster building. No argument on that from me.

I can respect your opinion that IV is only a mediocre player for the rest of his career. I don't agree; but at least that makes your basis for benching him solid. Of course, I doubt Gregg shares your shitty opinion. He just wants IV to know who's boss and whose ring to kiss.

There was an interesting article done by 538 a few years back that stated Duncan should have won even more championships when they crunched up all the stats and etc. I definitely believe he should have won 8 titles if it wasn't for corruption.

[tim_duncan_fan]

The Spurs should send Rudy G. to investigate this corruption.

Murray has had trouble with his drives to the rim since his rookie season. You can’t blame it all on the coaches.

I'm not... I'm blaming his lack of aggressiveness on them... I'm blaming the players he has around him on them... And he is MUCH better at the rim now than he was then... The guy used to throw up 20 foot floaters

[Spurtacular]

SMH. Spurs losing to the fucking Cavs at home. The guy who IV should be in place of in the starting lineup (Forbes) was 1-6 FG while playing his usual league worst defense. Smartest guy in the room thinks it's better to have IV coming off the bench at the same minute clip as 47-year-old Bellinelli.

[Spurtacular]

Just seeing some highlights...

Wow. DeRozan could've clinched the game with one of two FTs, a steal thrown right to him, or the last second shot. Any of those four chances.

SMH. I'm not on the it has to be IV or DDR bandwagon yet, but wow. For now I'm okay with the fundamental realization that IV is the superior option over either midget or the forty-seven-year old Italian.

[GAustex]

The game was won if DDR makes the winning play on any one of those 4 instances.
He failed on all 4. Miserably

[ZeusWillJudge]

Lonnie doesn't consistently look like a scrub.

[DMC]

Pop is an experimenter. Sometimes they fail. He doesn't give a shit what you think about it. Other coaches are plug and play guys, they just run sets and let the PG do all the thinking/shooting/anything else. They rely on stars to win. Post hoc claims of "HOFer" for Tony and Manu are interesting since, without Timmy and maybe without Pop, neither of them would be HOFers. Good players, sure, but great players like Tim and great coaches like Pop often drag other people to the hall, ala Pippen and Rodman.

The Spurs have always struggled early on to develop an identity, offensive ID and defensive ID. In the past they had a corporate core of players to use as seed crystal. Now they have guys who are often journeymen, or settlers like LMA and DDR. It's telling that the year before DDR was traded his coach was fired for shitting the bed in the post season, while the very next year the Raptors won the ring. There are extenuating circumstances that helped facilitate that, but the 10K foot takeaway is that DDR isn't a franchise level guy. Forcing him to be because he shoots a lot and has handles and hops doesn't change that. LMA is in the same softness arena as Pau Gasol. Without a solid group around him his production on both ends doesn't really rise above the noise. These other people are just wood putty on an antique piece of furniture.

I never took you for such a Pop sucker.

Manu was a top talent. He beat USA in 2004 and was pretty much 2005 FMVP. Tony was an all star level talent pretty well from the get go and was 2007 FMVP.

Yea, Gregg may be all about the system, but we are seeing the detrimental effects first hand with someone like Lonnie. Maybe it worked before cos Manu and Tony liked being sidekicks enough. But it's foolish to think lightning will strike twice; especially since there is no Timmy rock to tie to.

Is Scola a HOFer? Who else on that 2004 Olympics team is a HOFer? Would Manu be a HOFer without the NBA? Would he be a HOFer if he played for a team that didn't have title aspirations, like the Magic or Hornets?

Spurs are a small market team who pulled 5 rings from one draft pick and one head coach. All else is just side talk. A few years ago Rick Carlisle was "better than Pop" until the Spurs rang in 2014, then it was lightning in a bottle. Then it was Brad Stevens until he shit the bed in the playoffs so many times. Then it was coach Bud, until he did the same thing on two different teams. Then it was Kerr who was basically matched by Luke Walton as far as being present on the bench during a win.

If the Spurs don't ring every season the coach is shit.

You guys get too enamored with mediocre talent who can run and jump and you're spoiled because the Spurs have found so many diamonds in the rough, but sometimes a quartz is just a quartz. These players who people on the forum seem to think will blossom often don't, and you act like the coach is to blame. Generational talent is called that for a reason. Not every player from the D League is going to pan out just because they came to SA.

Narratives. Back when the Spurs were ringing, it often looked petty to judge Pop too harshly. A team like this with a rich mix of vets, all stars, and upcoming talent is probably a more fair medium to judge him as a coach. Are you happy with his current output?

Game 7? You should've said Game 2. Spurs were up 20+ and he brings out the Mills/Belinelli line up. They give up 15 points and Pop calls time out. Pop runs out the same line up, they give up another 10 points. Spurs lose. That was it for me
