BRAVO. That is the smartest thing I've ever read from you. I'm glad you realized how important Tim Duncan is, how it all starts and will probably end with Tim Duncan. Pop is great too.Quote:

He forced the Spurs to inbound to Kawhi and fouled right away. That was the best move since KL's FT% wasn't that great in the playoffs and also little time came of the clock.Quote:

Spoelstra destroyed Pop mentally this season, if you can't see that I can't do anything for you.Quote:

LOL OWNING POP?
Spol has all stars and an incredibly deep line-up and he almost fucked away the series twice (against Pacers and Spurs respectively). Pop owned him... with a bunch of "old guys". Did you see Spol's face throughout the series.. he looked so scared lol.
Everyone makes mistakes. Nobody is perfect. The type of mistakes that Green, Splitter, Kawhi, TP, Duncan, and anyone else that you want to include outside of Manu and Pop are all mistakes that a team can get away with.Quote:

So yes Pop and Manu deserve all the criticism in the world. Pop and Manu pulled the biggest choke job in NBA history. They will never be forgiven by many Spurs fans for costing Tim Duncan his 5th ring.
Ok, believe what you want to believe. Quite frankly, I no longer give two shit about any of your worthless opinions. You think your opinions represent Spurs fans, but they really don't. Of course, I wouldn't expect someone as irrational as you to figure that out.Quote:

Then they got to a position that gave them a greater than 99% chance of winning then gave up.Quote:

You can't say their relationship didn't take a hit, it'd be a lie. Trust is a two way street.
Spurs are a family and part of being a family is telling each other the truth.
Tim has to be strong for the good of the family and show grandpa some tough love and help him realize he has to quit while he's still ahead.
