The Spurs won 20 straight games including 10 straight postseason games and then lost four straight in the WCF after being 2 games away from the NBA Finals. The Spurs had the best record in the league for a good chunk of the season. Injuries to key players such as Leonard, Duncan, Parker, & Ginobili all missed at least 10 games and we still won 58 games and 15 postseason games.73-29 this past season and 60-20 last season.


In the past two seasons he lead us to a combined (regular and post season) record of 133-49 (.730). If you know anyone else in the NBA who can replicate that success then you should be a GM.

By the way in recent seasons the team who loses in the Finals come out strong

After the Pistons lost to us in 05' they won a franchise record 64 games and had 4 all stars

After the Mavs lost in the Finals in 06' they lost 4 games to start the season and then preceded to go 67-11 en route to a 67-15 mark.

After the Thunder lost in the Finals they won 60 games this past season.

More regular season championships. Just what we need.

I'm not saying Pop should be fired but maybe he should go back to the front office like Pat Riley did in Miami. Let one of his assistants step up to the plate. Coaching takes energy and I am just not sure Pop has enough fire at this point. He seems to auto-coach a little too much which is not going to get it done.

How does losing in game 7 of the NBA finals create chemistry and confidence issues? I'm getting your points but the logic is illogical to me. Its not like the big 3 hasn't experience heartbreak before. That .04 shot was devastating as well several other postseason occasions, The Lakers series in 08', the Game 7 vs Dallas. The Aforementioned OKC series debacle. The Spurs are resilient, they don't know how to quit and Pop won't let them. The will be back and hungry to win it all. I wouldn't be shocked to see them win 60. The Spurs are a couple of piece away from winning a title next season and have more than enough cash to get those pieces. Aminu, & Jack would be excellent fits.

You're welcome to jump ship at any time. Most teams would kill for this recent success. They will be back and should have a great shot of winning an weak west and going deep in the playoffs with this teams improving defense.

A composit of several different HOF coaches, I'd imagine...

All the assistants are now head coaches? Who would take over if pop got fired or resigned?

He's just go to LA and take Timmy and Tony with him. How'd you like that ? Yeah, doesn't sound very appealing does it ?

Pop is stubborn and fixated on the way he does things but he's still a great coach. He just fuc*ed up.

---

I haven't called for his firing. I want him to stop his stupid stubborn playoff losing ways since 2008, his tired small ball that has doomed the Spurs for 6 years or so, and to get back to what won those Championships. He needs to grow some balls and quit matching up to other teams and worry about SPURS basketball.

But no matter what, he DID fuck up, mega huge enormous kinda big time. Everyone knows that. He screwed Duncan out of #5 this year. No way around that.

I agree. Good luck trying to reason with some of these Spurs homers. Now what was the solution to countering the Heat's small lineup? Simple. Pop should of replaced Tiago Splitter with Boris Diaw. What did Pop do instead? He inserts Manu and Gary Neal to matchup with those midgets. Boris Diaw was the solution. Diaw is not afraid to post up against Mike Miller or Norris Cole. Diaw has the strength to defend Lebron. Leonard on Wade would have been a great matchup.

I lol'ed when he didn't go back to Diaw after Diaw having a strong first half. I knew a Pop implosion was coming. I mean it was surely sad, but all one who knows Pop's ways could do is laugh.

For the love of God

Time to rehash your old saying...

I am not saying that Pop should be fired....(won't ever happen anyway)


I am saying that as Spurs fans we have a great coach...

but there will NEVER be another TITLE as long as Pop is the coach.

So enjoy your great hall of fame coach spurs fans - and HATE on anyone who doesn't agree with you -


but understand....



As long as Pop is the coach - there will be NO SPURS CHAMPIONSHIPS.


Truth.

Spurs fans are so spoiled. Apparently the best coach in the league isn't good enough
