True, but he was pretty near getting fired after that embarrassing loss to Utah on national TV. Coc was the likely replacement and that huge win in Houston was likely what saved Pop's job. Well that and the huge tear they finished the season on beginning with that win in Houston.Quote:

Thank LMA that this team isn't a bottom feeder right now.
well... proof Pop really isn't as sharp as he used to be.
Pop has had his hand in a few losses....Quote:

Owned by daddy rivers yet again. How embarrassing.
It's time to take him out back.
Of course the commentators were fondling his nuts all night, raving about his great job keeping the team in the playoffs..like Aldridge is just another shitty system player.. Media can't suck him off hard enough, no wonder players don't want to play under that shadow
And Paddy got cucked by little diddy Rivers. like father, like Chia Pet.Quote:

Pop is lowkey one of the worst last minute coaches in the entire NBA nowadays and wasn't really much of good practitioner even when he had prime Big 3..
He was just as bad last year and the year before. The Spurs just had more talent to hide all of his inefficiencies. He's been one of the worst last minute coaches for years.Quote:

- Continuing to close games with 2 non shooters, who can't break down the defense either. How difficult is it to split them? The 76ers do this with Simmons and Fultz, 2 far better prospects.
- Compounding this by having non creator Mills attempt to run P-n-R late, while these 2 non shooters play off ball, leading to the paint being clogged.
- Forbes guarding Durant for 4 possessions has got to be the dumbest coaching decision I've ever seen.
- Playing midget guards galore when they're only playing 1 and he's been moved to the bench and inexplicably continuing to play Mills massive minutes vs this team.
- Repeatedly making panicky, damn near hockey like line changes, when it was obvious what the rotation should have been coming in.
- Taking a half into game 1 of the playoffs to do what he should have did from game 1 of the season: start Gay and have him run more P-n-R.
Spurs are like 24th in 3G%, so, maybe not so much.Quote:

They aren't even guarding Tony Parker, he can't play another second..
- Again, not trapping Durant; as if he enjoys watching this puke destroy them repeatedly
- Not pressing their non PG lineup 94 feet, in the hopes of either speeding them up or forcing turnovers
Of course they weren't going to win no matter what he does, but that's besides the point. He still needs to provide them with the best possible chance.
Aldridge was due for regression to the mean. It started 2 games ago. He held on just long enough, along with the help of Ginobili at the end, to get them across the finish line.

Spurs should save Coach Bud from that Suns owner and bring him back as head coach. Move Poop to front office/special advisor role.
Please remind us all again, why is it we hear the announcers on the reg say “ that was a great play called out of the timeout by the Spurs & Coach Popovich “ Remind us again.......Quote:

Because they don't get paid to bad mouth a 5 time NBA champion coach in the same way they don't bad mouth Tony Parker when he's on the floor. Coaches, like players have a prime and Pop is way past his. He's basically turned into Arsene Wenger 2.0 yet the media personalities still treat him with kid gloves. Don't even get me started on his sanctimonious pre and postgame press conferences where he's just plain obnoxious, rude and condescending unless he's talking politics.Quote:

His decisions both on the court and off have sometimes been appalling to say the least. He needs to retire as the game has whizzed by him and his feeble, ego driven brain doesn't realize it. He has never gotten over himself. It's time, Pop.
Wow........just Wow!! Sir you may need some help!Quote:
