Did anyone see Pop at the end of the game?

[T Park]

Gave a fist pump!!

I just saw that now on Tv!!!

WOW

[Kori Ellis]

:lol LJ and I were dying laughing about that last night. It was a powerful pump - you know he was damn happy that series (and all it's drama) was over.

[spursgrl20]

:clap yeah, i just saw that. i thought he was swatting a fly or something, pop doesn't fist pump.

[Obstructed_View]

You know those guys hate the pussy Suns and their pussy fans as much as the rest of us do, but they have the good grace not to even say anything about it.

PS. Internets cookie for the first person who makes a .gif of the fist pump.

[ThomasGranger]

If I remember the camera was behind him, no? Would've been cool to get the expression on his face as well--one of those rare "Fuck yeah!" moments he usually keeps bottled up so well.

[timvp]

The Pop fist pump was the perfect way to end that series.

I couldn't have said it any better.

[T Park]

Damn, Pop doesn't even give fist pumps during championships :lol

[CharlieMac]

He looked so cute didn't he?

[word]

I love the man. He's such a good coach.

[clambake]

He was pretty excited. It's not often that you get away with one.

[ChumpDumper]

The flow is still heavy, I see. Maybe you should visit a gynecologist.

[lilmads]

I noticed that and i was like WOAH, coz u never get any reaction outta him

[Budkin]

I just saw that on NBA TV too... awesome! I was way way too drunk to notice it last night...

[clambake]

The flow is still heavy, I see. Maybe you should visit a gynecologist.

Can I have the number to yours?

Manu played great!

[ChumpDumper]

You're probably lightheaded from the loss of blood.

[clambake]

No, I think he played well.

[judaspriestess]

We saw that too, it was awesome!! :downspin:

[SA210]

It was really awesome to see Pop do that.
As humble and quiet as the Spurs are about not complaining about the complainers, I know he was tired of their whiny asses.

The Day Spock Smiled

[Borosai]

I saw it last night...I wasn't sure what he did since the camera was behind him. I just saw him do some crazy jerky move and figured he was fucking exhilarated to be done with the series. I looked at the people around him and they started smiling and congratulating him. Good times.

:bike:

[Desperado]

Please someone get a picture of this up ASAP!!!!

[ShoogarBear]

That was his D'Antoni impersonation.

[spurastic]

I think he was more thrilled with the Spurs playing Spurs basketball for the complete game.

[AnkleBreaker21]

i was wondering what the hell he was doing. damn now i wanna see it again.

That's a little more "you kids get off my lawn" than fist pump, but it's still awesome.

Cookie for you. Thanks.

[CubanMustGo]

Someone needs to sync that with a Marv Albert "YESSSSS!" and it would be perfect.

[Marcus Bryant]

http://i9.tinypic.com/680qczt.gif

"Checkmate."

[ashbeeigh]

Pop's hair was also amazing towards the end of the fourth. It was all over the okace. The fist pump must have put in all in place.

[50 cent]

:lmao

I noticed it as well live and started laughing.

Reminds me of that movie where Bill Murray plays a professional bowler, and his hair gets more and more riduculous and fro-ed out throughout the climactic bowling scene!

[Fillmoe]

WEAK AS FUCK!

he needs to step his game up to this....

:elephant Saw it and loved it! Pop never does things like that, but hey,

we are a new team. LOL We aren't SOFT anymore..... :clap

We are THE :ihit SPURS.


:flag:

[ALVAREZ6]

Pop pretty much summed up the series in a single movement

[mVp]

priceless :spin

[Dro210]

Haha I noticed it last night.......... Classic

[Ronaldo McDonald]

that was a fist pump? It looks as if he's telling the people to get the fuck out of his way!

[Obstructed_View]

I think everyone was so shocked to see him do it that they thought the same thing and stepped back.

[bigfundamental21]

I saw it too last night and was like HELL YEAH. Pop never does stuff like that. Oh and his hair was a horrible mess in the second half. It was hilarious.

Go Spurs Go!

[E20]

I saw that too, but I didn't exactly know what he was actually doing.

[mikejones99]

usually when pop gets excited his hair stands up for him, especially at the endof a big game. Mormons are coming now then if Spurs win they have to go to hell, Detroit, Mi. Jesus christ help us all.

[carina_gino20]

Pop is pounding the rock...and that was just the first blow... :smokin

[logical_person]

Take away the flopping, incorrect calls, dirty plays from Manu the flopper, Bowen the "knee to the groin" man, Horry who was probably instructed to knock out a running Nash (when a minor tug or tap would foul him), and dear old Commissioner Stern. It would be great to play you in a fair game, if that's possible.

The only way the Spurs are better than the Suns is the coaching and I totally agree with you on that ... Pop is a great coach, but I question how sportsmanlike he is. If Pop told Horry to hip check Nash who was running full on, which caused him to fly in the air before hitting the scorer's table and landing hard, he knew that Nash's teammates would instinctively run over to see if he was okay and that someone would get ejected for either leaving the bench or throwing a punch. I believe the only one who did that punch thing was again Cheap Shot Bob!

Oh and in case you forgot - NO ONE WHINES MORE THAN THE SPURS, especially Tim Duncan, even the sportscasters were talking about it.

PS: Why all the comments about Pop never showing emotion and the fist pump was such a big deal? Of course, he probably never gets that angry when most of the calls go the way of the Spurs....hmmmmm, why is that, I wonder? Actually, I have seen Pop very angry before, didn't you watch those games?

Get over it.

[rayray2k8]

Damn....
You gotta let this go man.

[logical_person]

Turn the tables and see how soon you get over it.

[Kori Ellis]

Turn the tables and see how soon you get over it.

Every team goes through a series where they think they got shafted.

But normally fans don't go to other teams' boards weeks later and cry about it.

It's basketball.

[B and P Cats]

Turn the tables and see how soon you get over it.

I agree with you Phoenix fan! It's just that they win most of the time, so how should they know or care how anyone else feels? Spurs in the Finals again. Ohh...goody!! I think I'll watch Deal or No Deal, CSI, and Law and Order.

[jag]

suns fans are still bitching, wow....

[timvp]

Did the Spurs play the Suns in the playoffs?

I forget.

[Sec24Row7]

Did the Spurs play the Suns in the playoffs?

I forget.


I think so... can't remember what round though... I do remember it didnt go 7... was it 5 or 6?

It's funny... Utah's white guys are bigger... they don't fly out of bounds as far...

[timvp]

I could only imagine what Sun Fan would be saying about the Jazz. This series is 23230980923842398 times more physical than the Suns series. If the Spurs were dirty, the Jazz are filthy heathens that should be prosecuted.

[Sec24Row7]

And they still arent as bad as Seattle or the Nuggets from 2 years ago...

[rayray2k8]

After the series with the suns, im glad we're playing a team that doesnt bitch as much as them..
Although its not as dramatic as the last one, some will say that the series has been a bit boring.
But who thinks winning is boring??

[saporvida]

It's just that they win most of the time, so how should they know or care how anyone else feels?

oh poor baby... don't be a pussy! come on now.

then again you are for the bobcats so i see your point. but don't think for one moment spurs fans don't remember the yrs we spent watching our team lose time and time again in the playoffs and never get past the hump. the spurs haven't always been the dominating team it is now but a team that couldn't get to the next level together.

i can't believe you said, "It's just that they win most of the time" only because you should know the best team usually does.

[SRJ]

Every team goes through a series where they think they got shafted.

And it's always teams that aren't good enough to win who bitch. I know this on a first-hand basis - back when my fan's heart ruled over my brain, I used to think that the Spurs would lose to Magic or Stockton/Malone because of a bad call here or a bad break there. Back then I couldn't accept that my team wasn't good enough to win it all, and now we're seeing this same sort of thing from Suns players and fans. Tonight we saw it from Jazz fans, players, and Jerry Sloan.

Getting pissed off won't change anything, but improving the team might.

[B and P Cats]

i can't believe you said, "It's just that they win most of the time" only because you should know the best team usually does.

Not necessarily. How much help did the Heat have last year in the Finals? How often did the refs march Wade to the foul line? How often did he deserve it? He had almost 100 foul shots alone in 6 games!! The Mavericks are not known for their many fouls. Personally it looked like the Heat had help, no matter who your favorite team is to me. Hence, the best team may not have won.

Personally if we can't win the eastern conference, I usually like to see Detroit get it. Last year I was upset when they got beat out of it by the Heat, so I was for the Mavs in the Finals. But this year, I really don't care who gets there. It doesn't look right now like it will be anybody new.

So, despite the fact that I love b-ball, I will probably skip watching the Finals.

It must be a conspiracy against Canada. Wait... I bet it is actually just a conspiracy against you. Man... maybe if you cheered for a different team the bobcats would win the championship next year. If I could actually start a conspiracy against you as an individual I would. The Headline would read: "Man Cries So Much His Diaper Explodes."

You have a problem with the fact that I don't want to watch your Spurs...again? The Bobcats are further along than you think. We beat you once this year as I recall. Just a matter of time.

hence "usually"...

[FromWayDowntown]

That some Suns fans are still bitching about things that happened 2 weeks ago isn't terribly surprising. It seems endemic to that organization. After the WCSF ended, I decided to start reading Jack McCallum's "Seven Seconds or Less," which is about the 2005-06 Suns, and particularly their playoff run. (as an aside, I'd recommend the book to anyone who hasn't read it). Even last year, against the Lakers, the Suns coaches were constantly bitching about how "physical" the Lakers were, about how unfairly the games were being called, about how the league was screwing them over with disciplinary decisions, about how they had to win 5 games to win the series. It's not like any of that just started with the 2007 WCSF -- it's as if it's some strategy that is now pervasive in the greater Phoenix area when it comes to playoff basketball. It's ridiculous.

[GSH]

So, despite the fact that I love b-ball, I will probably skip watching the Finals.

Heh. I spent a year in North Carolina once. Actually, it was a week...it just felt like a year. I'm absolutely sure that no one else on the planet cares whether you, Goober, Andy, and Opey watch the NBA Finals. And you obviously aren't that much of a basketball fan.

Since all you are interested in is seeing someone new in the Finals, you can spend the next couple of weeks watching NBA games on Playstation. You can have lots of exciting plays, and get whoever you want to win the championship. (With the possible exception of the Bobcats. Even on Playstation they suck.) If you get Playstation 3, you might not even notice that it's not real.

Say howdy to Aunt Bea for me.

aw man. you really had to dig up a week-old thread for your rant? I know I stewed very long over the Semis loss last year but I don't remember crying on another team's message board.

and that thing about Rob? he's so great, isn't he? He has all that foresight to know that Amare and Diaw would immediately walk towards the fight. Wow, what a clutch player.

So please stop the whining because the better team won, okay? It's just pathetic.

[ObiwanGinobili]

The suns fan bumpage of this thread is like a Spurs fan bumping a .4 thread. BEing called out the same way. JUST GET OVER IT.

[ambchang]

Despite the stuff throwing incidentyesterday, I am just so glad that the Spurs are playing Utah instead of the Suns right now. Scratch that, I am glad that the Spurs are playing ANY team other than the Suns right now. The Spurs have played 3 opponents so far in the playoffs, the Suns series was by far the least physical, the other two teams didn't whine about physicality, and yet the Suns did and refuse to admit that the team are just a bunch of wusses who can't play playoff basketball.
There are more than a dozen flagrant fouls in the playoffs, only ONE led to bench-clearing, yet it was the Spurs fault that the Suns players are too stupid to supress their animal instincts of protecting their loved ones, this is just classic.
And what's with the Spurs whining? The team has basically cut that out during the playoffs, and this coming from fans of a team with a coach like D'antoni and Stoudemire (who by the way is so stupid that he doesn't know when to whine until it was a day after he got "kicked"). Even Nash got into the act in Game 6, during the game AND to the press.
But hey, I suppose if you can't do anything about it, you might as well whine and whine until it makes you feel beter.
