Pop: who cares about basketball when there’s wars going on around the world?
I'm in between, you want a coach that has the freedom to make the correct decisions and not the expedient ones to keep his job. It feels like the Spurs coaches and the FO think they have all the time in the world though, i don't want to wait 10 years for the Spurs to become relevant again.
You get what you pay for;
this summer when lillard was available and spurs had the assets
the same cliff jumpers here today- are the same posters who poo-pooed getting lillard
”hes too old”
”we have keldon and vassell…”
”we arent competing for 3-5 years and when wemby is 24 lillard will be retired…”
”we have a plan”
lol
I really wanted Ime to replace Pop for a minute
LOL pop says all the correct things, it's like that meme, everythings fine.
would the teams struggles not validate the idea that the team wasn't ready for a massive win now trade like lillard? lol
James Harden
That was a frustrating result.
Spurs are showing improvement though.

Let's not go overboard. Dame is a 33-year old point guard that relies on quickness to be effective. He's owed $45 million this year, 48 million, the following year, and 58 million after that and then $63 million. He will cost you your best draft picks and a starter. So you will pay a PG that is 36 years old 63 million dollars and he won't be worth half of that. All so you can pair his last two declining, but usable years with a 19 year old that will not really start to hit his true potential until year 3. The Spurs made the right move to pass and Dame would not want to be here playing hard enough to elevate this team to an 8th seed and a first round sweep assuming they win their playin game.
The Spurs made the right move in trying to get CP3, who would have cost them nothing and is on an expiring deal, but he wanted to go to a contender and not the Spurs. If the Spurs were trying to make the playoffs, they would have kept Payne, who would have been a good PG to have on the team. When they let him go, it was clear that they are going to play the long, long game.
Package both I don’t give a . Sochan is 20 though and being forced by pop to play out of position so I’ll give him a little slack
hahahahahaha!
example -A ^
I just want to hear from you when the Bucks are trying to dump his contract after two seasons.
This team looks flat out stupid.
Constant terrible dribbling to a whack handoff back to the dribbler, awful passes out of bounds, guys not cutting, no one on the same page, blown inbounds repeatedly. Everyone getting in each other's way because no one is running the same set is what it feels like to watch this team.
And there doesn't seem to be any coaching up. Or coaching at all. The lineup and rotations have been pretty much the same through 10 games for one of the worst teams in the league. The only 'experimenting' seems to have been decided on in camp and that's it. No one even gets pulled for dumb mistakes. Branham seems to make 2-3 buffoonish plays a game where the popof 20 years ago would have blown up on him, now he just sits there remembering old french poetry and wine.
Now that Derrick White has been away from Pop long enough people finally see how good he is. There was a Philadelphia podcast last week lamenting that the Celtics "got Derrick White for nothing". And they're probably right. Blake Wesley, rollover contracts and seconds and a swap that will probably never go through really is getting nothing for Derrick White, who Pop spent an entire year limiting to 23 minutes a game off the bench because he couldn't ever play White and Murray together.
Throw some 2nds for Alex Crusso, Rozier, or Killlian Hayes? Idk play fcking graham. Our offense has no structure at all
You don't understand. Pop had to start Bryn those 82 games and play him those many minutes because playing your two best guards at the same time just wasn't fair to the team.
Apparently "experimenting" wasn't a thing then when DJ and DWhite were on the team together
Spurs should have won this game. They were playing team on the road in a back to back game. Huge advantage to the home home.That was a frustrating result.
Spurs are showing improvement though.

Im ok not getting lillard -
im also not cliff jumping after 10 games -
i was pointing out the suicidal cliff jumpers here who on the team every play every loss every single night
those same posters gave those same reasons for NOT trying to improve with lillard -
TWO YEARS?
that is TWO YEARS the spurs would have had a pg for wemby who would consistently put wemby in a position to dominate
Pop needs to start reigning Wemby in. 7 turnovers + his Antoine Walker routine… there’s a lot going wrong around him but Wembys gotta be part of the solution, not the problem
Milwaukee is wrecking pro sports with Dame. Just a juggernaut.
Rather be the Spurs than the Clippers for sure.James Harden
Pop too busy commenting on Tommy Tuberville to coach
This is bringing back bad memories. I had almost completely forgotten that fiascoYou don't understand. Pop had to start Bryn those 82 games and play him those many minutes because playing your two best guards at the same time just wasn't fair to the team.

Yall were the ones here rejoicing when Pop got his 5 year extension...
What would a competent young-ish pg cost us really? The Spurs are looking for a facilitator not an all NBA first teamer.
