WTF is wrong with Pop?
Manu/Dice/Tiago/Bonner with Steve Novak inbounding. What the Fuck Pop. WHAT THE FUCK.

Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?

Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Blair in crunch time?
Pop winning COY would be a disgrace to the award right now, unbelievable the lineups he's putting out there.
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
What a fucking total waste of a game. FML for watching this shit 4th quarter...
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Bullshit, it's on Popovich. He ran smallball for virtually the entire fourth quarter and wonders why the Spurs couldn't defend, then he put Steve Novak in to inbound the ball? Seriously, he's a fucking drunk idiot.

Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Parker was pretty terrible though tbh.
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
They ate right through a 10 point lead in like 2 mins... then we got some distance again and we really gave the game to them... I still don't understand Novak inbounding the ball
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Novak inbounding the ball was straight out of a Spurs comedy routine.
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Tony, Manu and Pop made sure we lost this game. 34 seconds the ball and a 4 pt lead and we give it away.
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Pop, Parker, Manu fuk up a second consecutive game. Get your stupid fvkin heads out of your stupid fvkin asses. Give me a mother fvkin break.
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Hey, i got an idea. Splitter's played great all game and arguably outplayed Aldridge.... so let's take him outa the game and put Blair on him.
What the fuck?
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Wow what a damn pathetic loss.. poor coaching.. bone head plays.. the spurs deserved to lose the way they did. The spurs were just handing portland the ball and begging them to win the game.

With that kind of lead any other team in the league could have won.

That's a completely bizarro lineup. WTF? It's the opposite of micro-ball.
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Tony had bad face tonight. One of those faces that says he really isn't in the game. Almost like he's on some anti-depressant pill, zombie'd, no intensity, or alertness.

Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
LMAO @ tiago not seeing the court until .9 left in the game.....
LMAO @ going super big lineup on offense and then ultra small on defense....
What a fucking joke this coach has become.
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
The biggest question mark is we had nobody guarding the rim with .9 seconds left. The Blazers can do only one thing in this situation....how do you get fooled by a fake three-point attempt?

Now he has an excuse not to play Splitter, because it's his fault that the Spurs lost the game now.

Since Tim is out, maybe he feels like retiring already.

Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Maybe Pop is just tanking?
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
2nd time this year Pop has trotted out that Ultra-Big joke lineup on a final play.....this coach used to be the best at designing last second plays....and has a clutch player with a quick release like Gary Neal and leaves him on the bench......
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
I want to know whose dick Tiago's gotta suck to get some respect on that bench. I want to know, damnit!
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Serious question Pop fans, whats the purpose of having Novak inbound the ball?
Only reasonable explanation is a flat out tank by Pop....

I'm a little more calm now, but seriously, what the hell is up with his small ball bullshit all 4th. Goddayammm....

Spurs win this game if those 2 handle their shit, it's as simple as that.

Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
what else does Tiago have to do to earn a single meaningful minute in the 4th quarter?
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
.9 with the ball. At least get us to overtime! Novak inbounding the ball???
How in the hell do you throw the ball out of bounds with no one touching it?!?!?!
Damn, my grandma with her walker could have inbound the ball and at least got us to OT. Timmy on one ankle and from San Antonio could have at least got us to OT.

Seriously, if Novak just throws the ball somewhere on the court, it goes to OT. :lmao

Pop loves setting his players up to fail. Not sure what he thinks that accomplishes.

no, listen anything that happened before is irrelevant. Spurs had a lead with the ball, TO's cost them this game. enough said. :toast

whatever makes you feel better you keep on believing that.

Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Has Pop ever took responsibility for a loss? Ever? For a bad performance? For a single mistake? It's either his players fucked up or the other team 'made their shots.'
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
The Spurs were tied before Pop put Novak in the game. What part of that do you fail to understand?
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
as a fan of this team, i have to believe that tonight had to be a tank job by Pop.
I have to believe that to keep any type of faith in his coaching ability.

So did he tank in 2006 against the Mavs too? I guess he really wanted to get Tiago Splitter.
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Its a good thing for Pop he plays in such a small market, if this game happened in New York he would get called out in like 9 different newspapers, talk radio, TV, etc.

if i believe otherwise, then theres no point in cheering for this team during the playoffs and i'd like to have something to look forward to....

I think he's a fucking moron, and have thought so for at least five years. I still root for the team. Makes it tough though.
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
btw to those 2 gentlemen, don't think that I'm letting Pop off the hook. his rotations are brain exploders no doubt but that choke job was not his shit.
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
If Phil did something like this he'd be called out for sure. The thing is, Phil doesn't do things like this.

Not one media person in SA will say a thing about Pop's whack ass lineups.

If Tiago sees any minutes in the playoffs I'll be surprised.

The only fucking possible thing I can think of is that maybe, MAYBE they have run a play like that at practice with Novak inbounding the ball. That is the ONLY thing I can think of, and that's really reaching...:lol

Lets count all the things wrong with that play....
1) Steve Novak inbounds the ball. Played about 1 minute all game and hes your inbound passer. A guy with a career assist average of 0.1
2) Bonner/Dice/Tiago/Manu. These are your options if your Novak. You think the Blazers would probably and take manu away? Hmm that leaves Bonner (slowest release on the team), Dice (1-4 in the game), or Tiago (....?)
3) Bonner in the far corner and not a screener. Okay so hes being used as decoy obviously but you'd think that Pop would use a good shooter as the screener for Manu. Nope its Tiago.
4) The actual play itself was a pass into Manu for a catch and shoot fadeaway jumper from the baseline. So Steve Novak(!) has to make a perfect pass over Marcus fucking Camby to a falling manu for a fadeaway jumper....The worst case scenario is you inbound the ball directly out of bounds. So Pop calls for a play that has a pass being lobbed towards the baseline for a catch and shoot fadeaway.....
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
With 0.9 you can still get a shot off... I don't get why they went for the lob.
-
Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
Novak could have turned around backwards and rolled the ball between his legs onto the court and the game would have gone into overtime.
But that was too much to ask.

thats what makes me mad. theres obvious questions that need to be asked, but nobody will do it. i hate pop interviews, for the most part hes a dick and everybody just laughs at it. just ask him about his shit lineups. worse case scenario: he gives arrogant answer, avoids the problem, everyone laughs (already typical interview). i highly doubt this old man goes through the effort to banish you from ever interviewing again.
on a sidenote, lately on the national games hes given nice interviews, like genuinely given nice answers and forgot about his bs for 5 seconds.

Re: WTF is wrong with Pop?
another close loss because we can't get stops in the 4th
Tiago played solid d in all 3 games and never saw a minute in the 4th
I miss when they cared about defense. We have no chance in the playoffs with Bonner in rotation. I don't have anything against him, he tries hard but he isn't a good basketball player.
