Nah, when he benched his Hall of Famer and best rebounder in Game 6 of the NBA Finals. You can pretend he didn't, but I won't pretend.

Pop did the exact same thing to close out the Warriors. It was gutsy, but it worked brilliantly.
Sure Duncan could have easily grabbed one of those rebounds, but you're failing to realize that as great as Duncan is, he's pretty darn slow now. Miami had all shooters on the floor that were running around like Crazy. Even Bosh. You put Duncan out there, and try as he might, he wouldn't be able to get to the man he's guarding if he found some open space for a 3. Miami could have very well had open 3's if Duncan was in there.

Only on their second attempts. If Duncan was in there, somebody could have found some space from Duncan and gotten a nice look.

Re: Coach Pop Reflects on the Season
The rebound shot to the floor where Leonard was. Tim wouldn't have been there any way probably. Zachary Lowe had a great write up on it....
The ball just bounced Miami's way....
we should have fouled them, though.
-
Re: Coach Pop Reflects on the Season
Good speach, liked it, seems the core will be back for at least one more, and Kawai will be a man on a mission juist as Tim was in 2003 and Manu in 2005.

Re: Coach Pop Reflects on the Season
Yea that too. Should have fouled tbh.

You saw where Danny owned up to missing an assignment blocking out on that last rebound right? If Danny has Bosh, they don't get that last shot from Ray, and suddenly Pop called it just right.

Don't expect these irrational fans to accept that. Unless every player on our roster plays 1000000000X better than Michael Jordan and Pop makes 100% perfect decisions every game, these ungrateful idiots are always going to whine, complain, and talk about how "awful" certain people on our team are.

Kawhi Leonard's hands were on the rebound. He didn't come down with it. Sometimes, the ball literally just doesn't bounce your way and someone else takes advantage. Let it go with the blame game.

So what. The Heat are not GS. Leave Duncan out there to guard Bosh. You really think that the Bostrich is going to hit a clutch three or a winning shot? Are you freaking kidding me? The guy went 0-5 FG in Game 7. The dude can't play under pressure even if his life depends on it. A lot of Heat fans hate Chris Bosh.

Manu did his usual thing which is to get in the way. He got in the way of Kawhi and prevented him from getting the board. So did Diaw.

Duncan should have been in the game, and Pop even should have had them foul before that anyway. Either way u look at it, it was Pop.

Re: Coach Pop Reflects on the Season
You can't just say that we should get over Duncan being taken out, should we be over Fisher making the .4 shot or the Manu foul on Dirk? I mean, it doesn't really bother us that much anymore, but we still remember it clearly in our heads, and it will be the same with 28 seconds. And regarding Duncan's slowness, well he's tall, so he can at least defend the three. Worst case scenario he gets burnt and gives up a layup which isn't near as devastating.

He is not a horrible coach as much as he is an overrated coach whose stubborness and inflexibility - cost the Spurs in the end. Have you even watched the last 6 years playoff runs?
Probably watched it through Popsucker glasses lol.

Re: Coach Pop Reflects on the Season
Pops errors in game six were historic and are not meant to be forgotten least history one day will repeat itself.
The fact that Pop did the exact same thing to Duncan that Indiana did to Hibbert, and got the same exact result shows that history should not be so easily ignored.

If you actually watched the games instead reading the boxscores, you would know that Miami would of forced a 3 point shot up. There wasn't enough time for Miami to make a 2, and try to foul, and then get the ball back.

I don't hate him, I hate his horrible stubborn ego driven arrogant coaching decisions and attitude many times. There are a lot of things I actually love about the guy. But his choke jobs aren't one of them. What's with your extreme Pop love anyway? Did he molest you at some point and you liked it? Are you a grandson of his? Lover?

Re: Coach Pop Reflects on the Season
I've had my take on the last minute decision by Pop. I'll say this though, we lost game 6 with the lineup that started the 4th quarter. It was horrendous and Pop should be blamed for that

Re: Coach Pop Reflects on the Season
Duncan was angry when Pop pulled him out, just like Hibbert, tbh..he'll never call Pop out because he's not a cancer like Kobe, tbh..
Frank Vogel was ripped apart for his bad decision, and rightfully so..Vogel is one of the youngest coaches in the NBA, he made a mistake by over-coaching..he apologized for his mistake and admitted he wouldn't make the same mistake again, tbh..
Pop actually received criticism for his mistake, which is rare, but he will never admit that he made a mistake, tbh, he will give an arrogant response whenever he's questioned about it, tbh..
It was a horrible decision that backfired, typical over-coaching, tbh..
I'm not sure why so many people have cited the Warriors series as an example of Pop's strategy succeeding..Duncan was struggling in the 4th quarter in every facet, while Splitter was playing well..against the Heat, all Duncan had to do was secure a rebound, which should be simple for a guy that had 17 rebounds in the game, tbh..
Worry all you want about Duncan being too slow to guard the 3, Miami still got open looks from 3, and the Spurs allowed soft-ass Bosh to get boards, which never happens if Duncan is in the game, tbh..
Over-coaching stubbornness, tbh..
-
Re: Coach Pop Reflects on the Season
Here is my take on all this Pop hate. I do agree that Pop cost Timmy this 5th ring. He made some dumbas* moves in Game 6 such as resting players in a close out game, not calling timeouts when the Heat go on a run, insisted on leaving Manu on the floor, and a whole lot of other mistakes that I'm too lazy to type.
At the same time, I still think that Pop is a brilliant coach. Yes he can seem arrogant and stubborn at times but for the most part he knows about basketball. What other coach is capable of making D-League players such as Danny Green and Gary Neal shine in the NBA? What other coach has trust in his young players allowing them play at their max potential? What other coach would adjust his playing style to suit the better needs of an older Tim Duncan and a younger Tony Parker? Remember that half-court, grinded-out type of team that the Spurs used to be? The so called boring Spurs according to the media? Pop realized that Duncan was no longer in his prime, the team lacked that legit center that would protect the rim and post up so he implemented a new motion offense where ball movement became the focal point of the offense. Old school basketball.
So those of you arguing about Pop are both right and wrong. I will always hate Pop and Manu for costing Duncan his 5th championship, he fuc*ed up, but I still think that Pop is a great coach. Maybe not a genius as some might say but he's still a good coach. Other coaches would of either been fired by now or resigned. Pop got creative and adjusted to his personnel.

Duncan was defending the PnR man vs GSW, he wasn't against Miami.
And Splitter is much better than Diaw on D.

Mike Monroe cannot ask a good question to save his life. He is absolutely terrible. WTF.

Exactly. The Heat still got open looks from 3. Even if Duncan was defending a 3pt shooter, you've got to ask yourselves is it easier for Ray Allen to hit a 3 over TP or over a 7 footer? Plus Duncan would have been free to fully pressure the shot knowing they could give up the 2.

If Pop was such a genius - he would have had his players foul someone instead of trying to defend a 3. The Spurs had this win - if you foul the Heat they can only make 2 free throws AT BEST - then they will be forced to foul the spurs and the game is over.
Pop's reply to this: "We don't do that"
Fuckin' idiot.

Ok. Next time we'll just have you coach instead since you seem to understand the game so perfectly.

pop doesn't take those shots and miss them.
pop didn't give the team turnovers.
pop can put a team on the floor, but if they don't execute, they dont execute. it's not his fault the heat were more athletic.
coaches make decisions all the time and they can't know how they will work out. sometimes they make mistakes, other times they don't.
it's impossible to hire a coach who will never make mistakes. you can only get someone who knows what they're doing, and no one knows what to do with the spurs like pop.

I've heard all that before, and it was wrong the first time. It's on Pop.

incorrect.
i watched all those games. pop didn't lose it; the team did. they were put in position to clinch multiple times and each time a member of the team fucked up something easy.
that's on them, not pop.
imagine how many mistakes with this team another coach would have made.
if you cannot offer a superior alternative, then you're just impotently whining and second guessing his decisions.
