Go Pop Go!! Need just a few more now.
GOAT
No question.
GOAT .
Phil will always be the better coach, tbh, but you can't be mad at that... congrats.
Nah, I think Pop passed Phil long ago. Phil was able to get big personalities to play within Tex Winter's system. He was never as innovative as Pop is. Pop gave birth to a new era of basketball and recreated his own team at least two times.
LOL gonna have to try harder than that to troll.
thanks Timmy let me coach you
Is it trolling for calling Pop out for never winning back to back or winning when the expectation was to win. PJ clearly has him beat in that regard. He was like 48-0 when winning the first game of a playoff series. How many times did Pop get backdoor swept. Or how about losing to an eighth seed as the number one seed. Pop and his simulator crew is just not on the level of PJ in terms of finishing the job. Pop just doesn't have that killer instinct that PJ had.
It would be really convenient to have Kobe & Shaq, Kobe & Pau and MJ, instead of an aging DRob and Timmy dont you think?
Game1, 12/37 FG from his two stars and he managed to get a win keeping #2 seed under 100pts at home with this roster defensive skills and with Derrick White and Brynn Forbes leading the offense in a playoff game as visitors.
Gregg Popovich, what a ing legend.
Oh boy I was wrong years ago when I thought he was an awful coach.
Will be surpassed by Steve Kerr eventually
Not carved in stone. Kerr got a rocket engine start, but that team will fall apart, and soon. Pop had a losing record his first season, and still did what he did.
Both places Phil coached, the team had already been to the conference finals, and had two All NBA players. People act like Phil invented the triangle, but he didn’t, TexWinters did, was always on his staff, and almost the second he retired, Phil did, too, rather than be exposed as the charlatan and huckster that he was.
2014 alone is greater than anything Phil ever did.
That wasn’t even a full first season. He was thrown in like 18 games in and dealt with key injuries to his best players the entire year.
But some on here thought it was about his Kirby retirement tour and that he should retire soon. Pop makes his mistakes but we would be ed without him. Just look at Messina when he takes over Pop.

I like Phil too, but all of his teams that won were supposed to win. The one exception might've been the first one with the Bulls, when there was a vague consensus that Jordan didn't have enough help to beat Magic's Lakers. The championships of 1999 and 2014 weren't pre-ordained. I can still remember pre-season chatter that a team starting Avery Johnson and a 35 year old Mario Ellie wasn't good enough to win an NBA le. And "experts" were saying as early as 2011 that the Spurs were old and done. Add to that the fact that the Spurs were frequently outspent by their compe ors, who usually had wealthier owners.
Leading by 24 in the 3rd qtr and still somehow finding a way to lose the game, worst coaching loss of all time.
His run ends with KD leaving. People think Pop was lucky with Timmy then what the this guy is. It's like he won five lotteries in one day.
