Pop has become the king of England. No longer the authority, more like a symbolic figure of championships past. He is doing the same thing now he did when Duncan helped coach and that is have the coaching staff coach by committee instead of taking the reigns. He is borderline equal to the spurs mascot at this stage in his career except the coyote probably in impacts the game more lol.
At least Pop remembered about challenges this game, he just forgot about his timeout at the end. You can't have everything from the highest paid coach in the league.
Good news is team generally looking steadier now we have a point guard in the starting line-up (who would have thought, not, Pop) and we have Detroit coming up!
Wemby about to go Deron Williams soon.
Was just looking at his body language when he was looking to the bench on whether or not to challenge but yeah good point.
Just another 5 blocks day at the office for Victor.
DPOY + ROY?
Even if he's just the Blocks champion + ROY, that would be awesome.

We did have a timeout.
Nah, he’s mad at himself for passing up the bunny for the tie. It was a low bbiq move to dump it off to Sochan there, and he knows it.
No I mean I think Allen would have blocked the attempt without fouling
He is DPOY and ROTY without a question to me.
Old "tradition" of giving it to strong defensive TEAM will prevent the DPOY
New "tradition" of giving it to the best team will/might prevent him to get the ROTY
FU Pop
Weird the cavs announcers were saying spurs lost their last timeout bc even though they won the challenge they didn't get posession. I was confused but don't understand instant replay rules or why it exists tbh
Reading between the lines he saying, never passing that again!
That was not on Sochan, it was on Wemby. He has to know his personnel and keep the ball. Allen was not getting to a Wemby jumper or baby hook there. Also, he passed Sochan IN to the defense.
It’s ok: he’s twenty.
Maybe, just maybe, the Spurs would rather have 5 wins right now than 10.
Examine their decisions through that lens and everything looks different.
LOL what a ty translation from google when you select translate on twitter
It's an incredibly stupid decision if it's on purpose given how mid this draft looks
Sadly because Tre had to tip it to Sochan to keep from stepping out they wouldn't have been able to advance the ball on any timeout anyways I think.
Can always trade the pick tbh. That being said, I have zero trust in BWrong to make a trade not involving collecting more picks.
I guess my only hope is now that they have Victor, an actual guy they can build around, they now have more of a vision as to what they actually need instead of being completely rudderless like they've been the past few years and drafting players just to draft someone. I'm not holding my breath though.
lol wow
A higher draft pick is better than a lower draft pick, and I think the idea that being really really bad instead of just kind of bad this year will have any effect on Wemby's at ude or career is overblown.
I can't look at the combination of the (non) moves the front office made this summer and the lineup decisions and come away with a credible argument that they're trying at all to win, let alone trying their best. Stupid or not, this season looks like another tank job.
Even the fluffers at SAEN are saying that:
https://www.expressnews.com/sports/s...d-18593192.php
"While they deserve all the credit in the world for bottoming out with perfect timing last season, this summer’s draft class is pegged by scouts as one of the least impressive in years, with no obvious top-three pick and no point guard sure to go in the top five or six.
In other words, this is not a great season to be historically bad. "
While you're probably more right than them, over in Lakerland they think Kobe is top 5 all time, so most others who aren't Spurs fan might not see it as cut and dry.
But it might be a great season to save payroll. It seems to me Pop gave up on winning games early on this season, and is now it full Mr Miyagi mode. He thinks he's teaching valuable life lessons to these players, I guess, because he sure as doesn't seem to give a about winning.
You can't see how much Wemby hates this team being worse than last year's 22 win team through no fault of his own?
