Pop Named Coach of the Western Conf. All-Stars

Maybe he can gather some intel on Curry tbh

Even though he would probably like to spend that time somewhere else that weekend, it is a well deserved honor for Coach Pop.

Yeah, but if an All-Star starter is hurt, then the coach gets to decide to will begin the game. I think that was what LH was thinking of.

I think it would be hilarious as shit if he added Boban. Nobody wants any defense in the AS game. But if they leave that big bastard alone in the paint, he'd score 50. I'm dead fucking serious - they would have to change the entire way the AS Game is played, or give the AS MVP to a guy who averages 8 minutes a game. Not saying that Boban is ready to be a starter, just that the AS game is the perfect environment for him to dominate.

I normally don't give a shit about All Star Weekend, but I'd pay to see that.

Sure he's pissed.

curry play and Thomas all game

Kerr is not even a coach Johnny, more like a cheerleader/waterboy.

lol

You can almost hear Pop exhaling and rolling his eyes.

I love seeing how awkward Pop looks when he's introduced at an ASG. All that flash, glam and thumping music .... and then there's Pop.

Why haven;t they announce the eastern conf coach?

It's gonna be Lue. The league determined he is eligible.

I think it's because the Cavs can be overtaken in the standings by the Raptors by Allstar break.

Even if David Blatt coached it would still be Lue coaching.

Walton should not get the shot. That team could have gotten there without him and Steve Kerr was still the head coach. Steve Kerr should get the shot. Since he can't coach two years in a row however it has to go to someone else not his assistant.

And its all bullshit, he loves every bit of it.

Anyone else think the Kerr came back when he did to troll Pop?

:lol

Correct me if I'm wrong but don't the assistant coaches come from the team with the second best record (or best since Kerr is ineligible)? If that's the case, how much do you want to bet that Pop gets tossed within the first quarter (heck, maybe even before the opening jump).

Didn't deserve it, tbh.

Leonard's DNP-Rest is coming soon.

Makes sense. The coach of the best team in the NBA.

Hope he plays the warriors 45 minutes lol I'm sure Draymond and Klay will be announced tomorrow as the reserves

I probably could have coached the warriors to this good a record.

Pop should select Walton as an assistant just to acknowledge his ability to stay out of his team's way. Kinda like an All-Star Game.
