No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game 6..
It might be the worst coaching decision of all time in the Finals. I want someone to tell me when was the last time a top 10 player of all time was benched with the game on the line in the Finals with a chance to win it all. Shaq was benched because of hack a shaq but was never benched with a 5 point lead with 28 seconds in a game that could win it all. MJ, Magic, Kobe, Bird, Kareem, Hakeem, Wilt, Russell,...none have been benched with any lead with a championship on the line in the last seconds. Pop should hear about this for the rest of the summer and the entire season next year.

I get sick if i think about game 6. Might be the biggest coaching blunder in nba history. The Spurs had a 99% chance of winning game 6 when they were up by 5 with 28 seconds left. Fml.

He doesn't care. Why should you?

Re: No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game
Oh my God get the fuck over it. I mean seriously yeah it sucked but the same strategy HAS WORKED BEFORE.
It seems like unless win the championship every season, you idiots are going to crucify Pop. Give it a rest, and be thankful for all that he's done for this team for a change.

"needed to cover the shooters"
"something we always did in reg season"
"Duncan is too slow"
"Pop has four rings"
:rollinPop and the popsuckers didn't trust Tim Duncan and Spurs MVP of the series

Re: No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game

Re: No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game
True. I'm still numb from the loss, and will never forgive Popovich for such a monumentally stupid decision. Tim shouldn't either.

What got me is he repeated the same mistake that the Indiana coach made. Pop is like the stubborn teenager that doesn't believe it will happen to him until it happens to him.

And when finally happens to him, he repeats the same mistake again because he is a stubborn SOB, but manu sunk the game missing that free throw and played like shit all night so with a good manu pop could afford be an arrogant stubborn SOB, with a shitty manu is just another teenager coach :lol

Still :lmao at commentators saying after the Vogel debacle, that Pop would never make that kind of mistake. Rofl
I was thinking, damn they just don't know Pop
And look what happened lol

Why are people still making 12-13 threads? lol

Re: No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game
Duncan didn't need to be on the floor. The dumbasses on the court just needed to BOX OUT. I think the Heat probably got 50 pts in the series because they couldn't do this basic basketball fundamental skill.

Re: No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game
Are Spurs fans really this stuck up and irrational? SURE THEN let's just fire Pop and see how good we do! It seems like that's what you guys want!

Re: No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game
Tim Duncan had a game high 17 rebounds.:depressed I know Pop doesn't give a shit now but damn man.
It doesn't hurt as much but in that moment it suck big donkey balls.

Re: No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game
Not what lost the game...but it's easy to make pop scapegoat. Kawhi, Manu or tony could have just made one free throw but didn't ... That's basketball

Re: No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game
He fucked up, we all know it. I wonder how Pop sleeps at night, I'm willing to bet he hasn't slept much since the decision to bench Tim. I don't really know what to say TBH. Let go? How can we? Forget about it? How can we? It's over, we choked, and it is literally the BIGGEST Finals choke ever. Things like that just don't happen in the Finals. We just have to hope Tim gets his chance at another ring. He would have 5 right now and a chance for 6. Think about that, a chance for 6! I really don't know what to say, we just have to live with it. The pain won't subside, maybe ever. I really don't know...

Re: No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game
You guys need to get over it already. Geeeesh! I love the Spurs, but them winning or losing doesn't pay my bills. Life goes on.

Re: No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game
Pop doesn't give a shit, it's just basketball to him. He probably would have cared more if he was a decent basketball player and went somewhere with it but coachings a different thing all together.

Re: No amount of time will absolve Pop of benching Duncan in the last seconds of game
I'm waiting for the day when idiots like the OP find something better to do with their time.

Yup he'd never sit Larry Sanders with 28 seconds left to go in game 6.

Bucks coach will go down as GOAT for coaches.
Pop will go to the hall of shame. First ballot!

He's alrready won as far as I'm concerned. The upcoming seasons, playoffs, and finals are simply formalities at this point.
Hey OP we found you a coach to worship.
