Watching this does raise a question for me... how much of this is on what the coaching staff is teaching/directing, and how much of it is on low IQ players not doing what they are supposed to?
@1:14 its the question non pop sniffers have been asking for 5 + years........watching videos of politicsisnt basketball practice

Honestly - feels like the latter. I say this because the system last couple years has been a lot of transition and making decisions on the fly and guys have…..to put it nicely: Not made the best decisions.
it's on coaching period because if the players are that stupid the coach has to hold them accountable and Gregg doesn't do that
How are you supposed to hold some stupid accountable?
Stop giving them unconditional and undeserved minutes on the floor
I remember on one of the telecasts Sean recounted a conversation he had with Pop, asking him why they didn’t run a certain play any more. Pop said the players weren’t capable of running it. It was too complicated.
You can’t tear down the house and expect a new one to appear in its place overnight, This youthful inexperience is why the Spurs were reluctant to tear it all down, and why they tried the LMA/Derozan pairing.
It’s all of them. Do you forfeit the game for lack of experienced players to put on the floor?
sign of great roster building when all the players are stupid
That’s what happens when you burn the team to the ground. It takes YEARS to rebuild the cohesive smart roster.
And they’re not stupid, just inexperienced.
Any other coach of any major sport would have been fired by now with not producing results for so long
Once pop is gone things will begin to get better
This can't not be repeated or overstated enough.
No other coach in any sport would be given this length of rope, but ours is the highest paid in the league. Not even Bill Belichick got this amount of leeway.
Temperature of the frying pan’s a little high for the first regular season game maybe ��
Yup
imagine pop starting in 2019. He would have definitely been fired by now.
his past has kept him on board
But...but....Pop is great at taking players to team dinners, teaching them about stuff other than basketball, and basically a great life coach
Uh oh, that video ended with shaming DPOY Legend Stephon Castle. How dare that commentator!
If I was Sean my next question would have been "well aren't you some mensa level teacher Pop? Why can't you break it down enough for them to understand it."
It most definitely wasn't the players fault that Sochan ended up on an island to many times guarding Luka and got cooked. That is 100% coaching. That is 100% Sochan being told you guarding Luka and we not sending much help, which is exceptionally bad coaching. But it's not surprising, because if you are someone who knows X's and O's of basketball, then you fully understand that Pop is quite possibly the worst coach in the entire nba, and has been for at least 3 years.
I take it you don't like Stephon Castle much?
Was he my favorite in the draft? No. Do I think he should be getting 30 minutes a game? Yes.
Just poking fun at how some fans were convinced he walks into the league as an elite top of the league defender.
OK, cool. All good if he wasn't your top pick, I was just curious as to your thoughts on him. Who did you prefer?
If Pop gets us a top 5 pick with our pick and Atlanta gives us a top 10 pick Pop will go down as a Legend
That's a lie.
Davey Martinez is going on 6 years since the Washington Nationals won a World Series, gutted their roster (losing multiple All-Stars), hasn't had a winning seasons since and is still gainfully employed.
And he doesn't have nearly the hardware and accolades of a top 5 greatest coach in his sport.
Also, like exstatic said it takes years and reps to build a great offensive and defensive unit. Hopefully having a guy like CP3 around and on the court can expedite that a bit, but these are the inevitable growing pains of 'rebuilding' that everyone wanted when DeMar and LaMarcus were here.
The guy who implemented Sochan at pg for 40 games is saying some other hairbrained strategy he comes up with is "too complicated for the young players."
Cool story.
