Very disappointed....Pop should kiss Diaw's ass for last 3's and the D on Ellis in that shot. Thanks Bobo!!
i love pop but i wasn't this mad at his coaching since the gooden-udoka age
I liked his adjustments in the first half with the bigs stepping out to stop the guard penetration on a pick and roll, that worked well. But then he almost screwed the team over playing Beli.
What were you guys expecting, tbh? Like seriously what magical adjustments should Pop have obviously made for this game that he didn't do? We were up 20 at one point. What more "adjusting" is needed?
Put Green on Ellis.
We're getting burned by the same plays all the time... we've played 4 games already...
- Kawhi on Monta hasn't worked
- Beli isn't showing up... keep a short leash and play Danny for some D at least
- hide Tony on Marion or somebody not named Calderon
You people are clueless. You're going to give Pop grief for TP's ty play? Diaw, Splitter, Patty, TD and Manu brought their games tonight and made up for TP's ball play. He seriously looks like Manu 2013 out there. WTF is wrong with him?
We held dallas to < 40% shooting tonight...
If that's "getting burned" then I'll take it.
Losing bud and Brett has hurt more than expected. Pop can't/won't make the simplest of adjustments.
We won the ing game...and game 5 is at home...we're in good shape.
I know that's the elephant in the room, tbh... but we need to trim at the edges too... Beli is unplayable this series... Danny isn't far off, but at least he can contest a jumper...
Get this armchair NBA coach on the spurs staff, tbh. He'll show those amateurs what's up.

Only problem I had with Pop tonight was Belinelli playing too much and having him guard Vince Carter again, he's been getting destroyed all series..
Green isn't allowed to play because he's trash on offense.
disagree
i liked how the spurs defended the mavs' pick and rolls, they did a pretty good job on ellis, and the guards in general fought hard not going under every single time
unfortunately sas the bed in the 2nd half offensively (credit dallas defense as well) and gave dallas some momentum
There's nothing Pop can do about TP. He simply gets shut down by anyone taller than 6'5.
I give Pop props for pulling Parker during that 4th, putting Patty back in. I wish he would've kept Parker out but I can understand trusting him because of the seniority. Still least he saw how ty Parker was out there.
Not sure why Green doesn't get screens set for him on offense to get him open. Coach Bud does it with Korver. I guarantee Bud would let Green just stand there or try to create for himself(which he did unsuccessfully a couple times tonight).
that 3rd quarter didn't make no damn sense. waaaaay too much beli.
I had a problem with Pop gambling with "rest" because he had a lead. You can't do that as much as he did in a game you have to win when your offense has been shaky and the energy is not playoff level. Continuing to yo-yo Danny in favor of Beli is another huge issue.
The team not being prepared to play hard for more than 1.5 quarters is also an issue. Why aren't they prepared? It's mostly on the players, but Pop is not doing the Spurs any favors.
Yeah and that's why we're having trouble stopping the one play they kill is on over and over again. Kawhi has trouble with quicker guards. Green is adept at staying in front of pg's. D over O any day bruh!
