    Pop is a genius.

    He wants that top 5 draft pick to get his all star pg.

    Spurs had a better record last year after 7 games.

    I still think 2014 was the greatest coaching job I've ever seen.
    With an offense implemented by his assistant coach

    Pop has never been a good coach. My 9 year old nephew could have coached Tim/Robinson/Manu/Parker to 5 rings. You might/could make the argument he's not a bad player/personnel type of guy. But, coach? Nah.

    Not being able to bring up the ball with pressure Defense...not being able to make decent entry passes to Wemby...not being able to defend 3 point line...one-and-done offense...

    That's all bad coaching.

    Pop only looks good, when he has hall-of-famers covering for him. It has always been that way. Ever since he fired Bob Hill the day Robinson came back from injury.

    With any other coach, Spurs would have 2 more rings. Well, almost any other coach. Larry Brown woulda traded 2 of the big 3.
    I would say this is Sochan's burner account but they want to pass the ball to Wemby. Could be Tre Jones' burner account.

    Welcome to ST. You'll fit right in here!

    People are giving this guy , but he's just echoing precisely the same sentiments that this thread was 11 years ago (along with many other posts over the years)

    Sure it's a bit on the extreme side. But what is ST if not extreme?

    I mean...the team doesn't seem like someone has been preparing them, to be honest. They don't have to win, but they should be expected to look as if they are working off some kind of game plan/strategy or employing specific tactics to try to gain advantages during a game. But no; everything seems to be quite random and undirected, as if the team doesn't have a staff of coaches.

    Pop did great in 2014 but that was also a stacked roster where all the pieces fit. And very little defensive liabilities (Parker), It’s even more apparent when you see what our talent/players look like now.

    No, that would be Phil Jackson’s entire career.

    Pop didn’t fire Bob Hill, David,Sean, and Avery did.

    At the apologists/homers, who thought the Spurs youth (but not other rebuilding teams, of course) would show linear progression, the genius would wave his magic wand and voila, they'd be competent on defense and compe ive again.

    Shockingly, it turns out not having a primary creator and having a PF who can't shoot masquerade as one leads to an untenable half court offense . . . and no, it's not just something that'll improve with experience and not only might it not help him down the line, it might destroy his confidence in the process.

    The reality is, this team has two keepers at the moment (obviously Wembanyama and Vassell, who's ceiling is probably third option on a contender).

    That doesn't mean the book is closed on others, but this is not going to be as simple as drafting a PG and they're set.

    This roster is constructed horrendously, just a mishmash hodge podge of pieces that don't fit.

    b2b seasons of historically terrible defense from a supposed defensive minded coach tbh. Those 2000s to early 2010s schemes haven't been relevant for years as evidenced by the team getting absolutely torched from 3 night in, night out every single season

    The game just passes you by, see Belichick about to get fired in New England if you need further proof tbh

    The hate boners are out in full force again (and again and again) for Popovich.

    The team is bad, inconsistent and still needs further injections of high - end prospects. We only have one - maybe two or three (if Sochan pans out) - while most 'bad' teams have a lot more.

    Spurs should be on the phone between now and February with Orlando about one or more of Jonathan Isaac, Markelle Fultz, and/or Cole Anthony, IMO.

    Still, for all the undue credit he receives, it's only right he gets some blame to balance it out.

    The front office has repeatedly drafted players with a defensive reputation and just got the highest ceiling defensive prospect ever, yet can't even graduate from terrible to run of the mill bad?

    Meanwhile, they lack any semblance of dynamism offensively to offset it.

    As ever, the team is full of players who lack impressive physical tools and are midrange pull-up fiends, which is being enabled because he literally runs ATO's for it.

    Pops strategies this year are the best thing Wemby could ever hope for.

    Amazing what happens when you finally play your Euroleague MVP that you inexplicably kept on the bench for years.

    Dribbler gets past defender, slows down. Spurs defender stands behind dribbler trying not to foul. Help defender shows weakly, corner defenders sag down. Result is a floater, a wide open three, or a missed layup and a putback dunk. Rinse and repeat. If there is a miss, the Spurs are about 50 50 to secure the rebound and about 50 50 not to foul. The foul is an and one about a third of the time. That equals a lot of points given up.

    Exactly, but the question is who is at fault of this. Is it all on the players, or are they not well coached?

    Really good teams have started seasons poorly. Far better teams have started worse. We haven't even established what position Victor is supposed to play. People keep trying to turn him into Tim Duncan, which is precisely not what he does. The Spurs were a far better team before the fans started expressing their opinions. Half the fan base s on Sochan for six months and then start a thread wondering what's up with him.

    If we are gonna blame anyone right now, I blame the spoiled fans who didn't watch any games last year and now treat the youngest team in the league the same way they treated le teams. I wouldn't want to give effort for you ing idiots either.
