Spoiled Spurfan tbh. I will never say Pop is perfect but he's one of the greatest of all time to do it. I feel for y'all who expect him to be perfect or not coach to your standards....

People want the best coaches for their favorite teams, Carlisle and Stevens are the best in the league not named Popovich.
So better make your list of "available" "realistic" or just shut up and let people choose the coach they want.
yeah but thats like saying "i dont like parker, so lets get rid of him and bring in curry" or "gasol is really a drag, lets replace him with embiid"Quote:

That's the thing: We don't have to know who will replace Pop to consider whether the Spurs would be better off with a new coach. Someone like Messina (whom I've warmed up to but am still not too keen on) and Udoka could run much of the same schemes, be able to maintain much of the Spurs culture but then have ideas on how to use personnel that Pop either doesn't have or wouldn't allow. Going from Riley to Spoelstra almost certainly seemed like a major downgrade, but Spo has proven to be a very good coach who's managed to win with both a super team and exceed expectations with a mediocre roster. I do feel pretty confident that the Spurs' next coach will be of similar quality.Quote:

You think that was the case last season tho? Feels like more times than not he pushes the right button. Of course he has some years/series where there were things he could've done better/differently. But compare that to other organizations/coaches and we don't have it as bad as many here (not saying you) thinkQuote:

Did yall hear this 15 minute thing could last KL's entire career?
:lol Rivers is not only a long time friend of Pop, but a savvy veteran when it comes to playing along with the media. He's saying what he knows they want to hear, like the majority of people (specifically Pop) who comment on Bryant. If you actually think that he believes half of what he says, you're delusional.
KL to Minny confirmedQuote:

I don't want to get rid of him. Pop's earned the right to coach the Spurs to the grave if he wants. But I'll still call him out on whatever bull shit.Quote:

That'd be interesting if he were younger. I think he'd get Kawhi 10+ free throws a game by calling out the refs. I think he'd also be able to get other good players to come to the Spurs with the chance to beat the Warriors. I think LeBron would seriously consider coming over if he were the coach.Quote:

If Phil were here, he'd want no part of this team.
Well in that event Pop would be available. He's the greatest coach of all time so why not try to acquire him? He already knows the system.Quote:

What's Lebron's beef with Phil over?
[QUOTE=Ice009;9225446]Phil referred to Lebron and his friends as a "posse" and Lebron and his business partner Maverick Carter took offense to it. And of course him being close friends with Melo, he wasn't happy with the way he was treating Melo during his time with the Knicks.Quote:
