Poopsucking mods will close this thread next.
I've seen it multiple tines over the year...the team would be winning with their regular rotation, but when he faces aa elite team and goes through a bit of adversity, he doesn't trust what has been winning, and some guys never see the floor...very concerning, tbh...

You think if golden state faces a tough team, they'll stop playing their normal rotation? Clearly not, and they came back to win...they always know who is going to play...we don't...that's why we keep running into walls...we lack cohesion that is built from familiar rotations
Actually, he's the most predictable coach ever, tbh... you know he's going down with the TP/Manu/Danny/Kawhi/LMA/Gasol/Paddy ship, and distrusts Dedmon, Kyle and Juice.
After we're down 3-1 in a series, down 20 in the 4th quarter, he'll trot out Murray in desperation, to reassure himself that he couldn't have possibly turned the series around.
Never seen a coach worse at adjusting than Poop, tbh..
Didnt play Patty in 2015, troted out the turd towers and Fathead in 2016, worst out of timeout plays in the league, cute little 2-0 run timeouts, mediocre switching defense that always gets exposed and even JVG clowns.....
Cant wait to see what he cooks up this year
Why no minutes for Simmons?
I just think he seriously doesn't give a about winning. He has 5 les and just shows up for a check. There is no other way I can explain some of the he does. We have A ING 20 POINT LEAD AND HE CALLS A TIMEOUT AND BREAKS THE MOMENTUM!!!!!!! I just can't get over that.
Pop has a plan, but spends all season playing lineups and sitting guys so there is no cohesion with a constant lineup, only to revert to the original plan in the playoffs and not deviate from it AT ALL, which includes not playing guys that have have shown obvious game changing impact during their random playing time every 10th game, because, it was never part of his original plan.
The only deviation is the last ditch effort to throwing guys in the game in the second half of the losing game 6.
When the Spurs are up 22 points and Warriors finally score once in 5 minutes
When the Warriors are on a 16-2 run and you have 5 timeouts
I know he doesn't care about these RS games, but that Parker/Ginobili/Anderson lineup was just puzzling
Not defending Pop, but considering the personal at his disposal and the opposition I don't think any coach would have figured out a way to win.
Probably trying to figure out if he can squeeze something out of anderson in a potential matchup. No other way.I know he doesn't care about these RS games, but that Parker/Ginobili/Anderson lineup was just puzzling
We have no guards and soft "bigs." We're almost entirely reliant on Kawhi offensively. Pop is not coaching his best ball but the problems with the team run much deeper than his rotations.
I think he was trying to see who can be reliable against them. Regular season tinkering. Like many years he probably didn't care as much about W/L against this team in the reg season, as much as finding a winning formula (which can only really be found by trying random things and looking at the film afterward).
More of the same tbh.
His excuse for his inability to adjust has always been "pounding the rock" (i.e. doing the same over and over again till the ship sinks).
He only had one plan to win last night if that didn't work he wasn't gonna change.
Exactly!!!
And his inability to figure out how to guard the pick and roll, and offball screens looks like it will be our demise once again...but most importantly, he needs to learn to trust the players that have been in the rotation all the time... No minutes for Simmons, inexplicably... Even though we WON with Simmons playing his best game of the season vs the warriors...he pits out a lineup that has no shooters, all while Bertrans is catching dust on the bench...then we wonder why our bench players are streaky at times in the playoffs (if they even get PT)
what is the point? They have a much more talented team
Anyone interested please start a thread en led "Could Pop pay Kerr to tutor him on the modern game in the offseason?"
Or give me one of your alt's passwords.
Lol, so true. He's a terrific motivator but his own worst enemy. One of the most stubborn, pig-headed, coaches in the league that puts loyalty ahead of wins. that. He needs to play guys who can physically compete, not dribble the ball off their feet or fall down when they start to drive to the basket. Its a sad sight to see TP not get around anyone (even bigs). He gets his weak-ass layups boomeranged off the backboard. Manu does what he can but he can't elevate like he used to and his body can't do what his mind wants it to do. That's age.
he does panic but he also tinkers and concedes. which he did last night is hard to say. on the surface though, his coaching was certainly questionable last night.
Series 2-2. Let me wait till we're blown out in elimination game with some stupid ing line-up that's never seen the floor together.
I remember when it took Poop until Game 6 last year to finally free Boban
Cant say I didn't try
