Imagine putting together the worst defensive lineups, game after game, and shitting on your players like this.

Popovich bitches!

This. What a fcking joke. Now that he doesnt have the big 3 to save his ass, pops stubborness is biting him back.

[sasaint]

In the political realm pundits make all kinds of hay out of shit like this.

[8sy21vd]

Ego so out of control by past successes + no fear of losing his job or being held accountable = recipe for disaster

[TimDunkem]

Yikes. :lol The old man just doesn't care anymore.

[sasaint]

Love to see Bonner and Sean discussing this at halftime.

[sasaint]

Ego so out of control by past successes + no fear of losing his job or being held accountable = recipe for disaster

That recipe has been in the oven and is just about half-baked by now.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Pop is just enjoying his final years, doing whatever he wants and has earned, this is like when the Lakers were paying Kobe 25 mil a year to shoot 30% from the field.

[gambit1990]

i wouldn't read too much into it... dame has been on a tear.

if dame wasn't playing like he has been and pop said that then it'd be a bigger issue.

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

No way Forbes holds Lillard to only 50

[exstatic]

This. Sean said during the telecast that Dame had averaged 50 over like 7 games? Redonkulous.

[exstatic]

No way Forbes holds Lillard to only 50

The way he's playing, it really doesn't matter who you cover him with. Might as well be Forbes, play everyone else tight denying him help and outlets, and hope his damn arm gets tired from shooting.

This man will have something to say when he leaves the organization.

I dunno. He has been so classy during this whole Twilight Zone experience that I am not sure he will ever say anything.

[paperboy77]

Yeah but when that shit goes public? Fair game.

[widowmaker]

Yeah i can see some of the spurs getting butt hurt over a comment like that. But im sure not as butt hurt as these millennial pussies on this board are lmao!!!

[Seventyniner]

:lol Pop is just enjoying his final years, doing whatever he wants and has earned, this is like when the Lakers were paying Kobe 25 mil a year to shoot 30% from the field.

Nobody is immune, huh.

I wonder if Pop's plan, a few years ago, was to retire after the 2020 Olympics and ride off into the sunset with his wife. Now that that isn't possible, he only has basketball left and is hanging on for dear life.

I don't envy Tim Duncan at all. It has to be killing him to be part of what this season and organization have become. But Pop, as bad a job as he is doing this season, is in an even shittier situtation.

[phxspurfan]

Yup, it’s true then. He hates the team/franchise basically now. He’s the cancer and has to go

Start making some phone calls man, pull those strings march the streets.

[timtonymanu]

I feel bad for the Sniffers that wanted to see this team make the playoffs only for them to realize Pop cares even less about it than the edgelords

[Russ]

Old coaching ploy -- poor-mouth your on team and heap praise on your opponent. Do it with a smile if possible.

How long have you folks been around?

[itzsoweezee]

Yeah i can see some of the spurs getting butt hurt over a comment like that. But im sure not as butt hurt as these millennial pussies on this board are lmao!!!

Shut up boomer

[HarlemHeat37]

No season ticket holder is going to a game to see Pop COACH, this is an apples to oranges comparison. Then again it is you isn't it. Didn't Kobe score 60 in his last game? So is Pop going to coach the Hell out of his last game and say "Pop OUT"?

Dropping those Bolded Takes since 2008 right Harlem?

Popovich is the face of the organization, he's earned the right to do whatever he wants.

It sucks as a fan, because it's going to hurt the team for a few years, but that's the path the Spurs have chosen.

[GAustex]

A lot of guys on this board obviously haven't been around at all.

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop has been flaming the team before the season even started by sabotaging everything to make them worse

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Spurs fans need to start chanting for Carroll to play during games. Make it a little uncomfortable for Pop if nothing else.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

And yeah, I could probably still score 20+ on a Forbes/Mills tandem. Lillard might break Wilt's record.

[LCM]

All of his wonderful 'Popisms' are great when you're winning ... you aren't winning!! You're about to be shown 12th place in your conference when this road trip is over!! SS&E is selling off it's second sports property in consecutive years, and you, the face of this organization, are talking about how an opposing player is going to truck your team for 50 to FRANK BRICKOWSKI!! A man I remember as a kid watching the Spurs would take an opponent's head off then have them embarrass his team!! A man who had no fear in tweeting out he saw Mike Tyson screwing someone in a public restroom!! Where the hell is your head, but a million miles up your ass!!

Holt kids ... for the love of this franchise and pro sport's future in SA, fire this man at the end of the year!! He doesn't pass Go, the draft, free agency, trade discussions, scouting reports, nothing!! He hits the pavement, quick - fast - and in a hurry!!

[daslicer]

No coach is ever the face of a franchise. Riley and Phil Jackson were never the faces of the organizations they coached. Not even those guys got the clout that Pop gets. Spurs should just can him.

[Spurtacular]

Lillard wouldn't be getting no fucking 50 if IV was getting 40.

[Slippy]

And yeah, I could probably still score 20+ on a Forbes/Mills tandem. Lillard might break Wilt's record.

How can you tweet with a straight face Lillard scoring 50 when your first defender on the court is Bryn. Pop is laughing. Glad to see he can see the funny side.

[SayTown]

I don't think Pop will be texting Big Frank again anytime soon, lol.

The fact is IF by some miracle they pink-slipped the Old Asshole tomorrow it would come several years too late. But it is critical that they do not let him make any further decisions to impact the future of the franchise.

[SpurPadre]

If only Canzano had the balls to say "Yes, Pop, I'm going to see Lillard drop 50 on your pet G-Leaguer who will clap his hands and yell fuck 50 times while your real talent rots in the bench."

[DJR210]

Can't wait to say goodbye to this tired old bastard

[HarlemHeat37]

No coach is ever the face of a franchise. Riley and Phil Jackson were never the faces of the organizations they coached. Not even those guys got the clout that Pop gets. Spurs should just can him.

Those guys never stuck around to coach after their stars left. Riley left before Magic and Kareem did. Phil left with Jordan and never coached the Lakers without Kobe.

Who do people identify as the face of the Spurs in recent years? Obviously Pop, Duncan has been retired for years, so has Manu and Kawhi only really had 1 standout season that wasn't really covered much by the media.

[widowmaker]

Shut up boomer

No can do millennial, learn how to use your coping mechanism.

1. Phil was forced out by the Bulls. Reinsdorf and Krause hated him. They let him know during the Bull last title run that he was not going to be brought back. Riley left once Jabbar retired.

2. I will say this both Phil and Riley have faced more severe criticism from the media than Pop has ever faced. Phil didn't get a pass in '94-'95 when the Bulls were struggling before MJ came out of retirement. They were a lot of people back then saying Phil was overrated and should be fired. Riley also faced serious criticism in Miami when the Heat got swept by the Hornets in '01 in the first round of playoffs. In '01 the media was saying Riley was old and washed up. Phil the GM in New York got trashed by the media while Pop the defacto GM has not.

3. Spurs have no current face of the franchise since they have no superstar player. My point is a coach can never be the face of the franchise. Can you name me anytime in NBA history where the coach was the face of a franchise?

I agree with you for the modern era. But in general red Auerbach

[daslicer]

I'm only in my 30's but from what I have learned is that Russell/Cousey was the face of those Celtic teams. It's even more obvious when Red quit and Russell became the first player/headcoach and won a title with that team. Red has even greater legacy in my eyes as a GM after he quit coaching. Rebuilding the Celtics as title contenders in the 70's and 80's.

[weebo]

:lmao

I don't think Pop will be texting Big Frank again anytime soon, lol.

This tbh. I'm not giving my Pin code to Franky the snitch

Explain earned.
:corn:

[tholdren]

St is terrible. The spurs are an awful team defensively. There is one player who plays both ends of the floor on this team. Glad pop called out murray, tbh

[Ozballer]

Big f** deal. Funny. Great sense of humour and self deprecation. Gives credit to Lillard, why not? + it is supposed to be a private convo...the idiot that disclosed it has no regard for him obviously.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Frank's a fucking paper bitch - get a private text then tell reporters, pussy.

[bic50]

Can’t believe there are people here acting like this is no big deal. Pops clearly lost that hunger. He needs to step aside and let someone else take over.

This team, the franchise and the fans are all f*cked until he leaves. All fans might as well take a long break from the nba until they are notified that he’s gone.

Ok does that mean you are taking the lead on that taking a break from being a fan thing?

Yes, I’ve quit watching and attending the games. Check the box score for the results. Sorry, I’ll still be posting on ST

[weeks]

It sucks but honestly, how can you blame pop for checking out on this shit sandwhich? his wife recently passed and he's coaching a team of scrubs led by some of the losingest 'stars' in league history with Aldridge, DeRozan and Gay...
Pop cant win with these cats

[weeks]

People say pop was a product of timmy and yeah its true all great coaches are inevitably products of their great players. but the two of them were so close and timmy such a great character HOF that Pop tried harder back then, for timmy's sake.
now what the fuck does he have to try hard for..to help losers like Aldridge get a ring? Aldridge who requested a trade after making the WCF for the first time in his life, Aldridge who was on the fence between Kawhi-led Spurs and the fucking Suns...Aldridge, who didn't foul in the final seconds of a game 7 in the playoffs coz he was pouting?i dont think pop is gonna stay up at night trying to get these guys to the finals..
really hope it's his last year, for everyone's sake. But we all know it won't be.

[palangi]

St is terrible. The spurs are an awful team defensively. There is one player who plays both ends of the floor on this team. Glad pop called out murray, tbh

Fuck that, pop has created this culture of none defense by starting Forbes and playing mills and belinelli consistently

[palangi]

Yes, I’ve quit watching and attending the games. Check the box score for the results. Sorry, I’ll still be posting on ST

Im with you. I don't watch anymore. It is such a cluster fuck to watch this team. Even when we win it is hard to watch

[widowmaker]

It’s his choice to keep coaching instead of walking for the “more important things” he’s always preaching about.

He's responsible for putting this team together....hes the president of basketball operations....he's got nobody but himself to blame...he should have kept his word and stepped away when TD and Manu retired...literally no big name FA wants to play for him...and I can't say that I blame them....his shtick is old and tired..he should have handed the team to Udoka and moved to the front office at the very least.

Pop needs to get Tom Landryied tbh. It's time for him to gtfo. Should've kept his word and walked when Timmy retired.

[DMC]

Wait, so there’s not more to life than basketball?

There was until his wife passed.

[DMC]

Pop needs to get Tom Landryied tbh. It's time for him to gtfo. Should've kept his word and walked when Timmy retired.

Except Timmy is on the bench with him.

[wildbill2u]

Coaches and former players say all kinds of things. It’s their business, not ours.

HADN'T THOUGHT about Brick in a long time. I guess he must be in the Portland area. I'm sure Pop considered this a private joke between him and an old retired player. Brick was a hard worker, but never a star or anything. Nice to see that Pop keeps in touch with players like Brick long after their usefulness to Pop and the Spurs is over.

Yes. He has been. Thx-

Was thinking that OKC's roster really isn't 8.5 or 9 games better than us. So what's the difference? Pop's absolute refusal to play less than shitty lineups (see Bryn starting damn near every fucking game).

[palangi]

Never has

He put the team together, and refused to make changes...also doubled down on bad decisions...so yes ..blame Pop
