    To be fair...I think Pop will give Bowen some heavy burn if we wind up playing LA. I think basically he knows Bruce doesn't really need any minutes to prep for that role, he needs to save his energy for it.


    I agree he mishandled George Hill this year...George Hill has the talent to be an x-factor on both sides of the ball and Pop pretty much has him busted down to the lowest run on the ladder right now entering the playoffs.


    Poor George will probably go in shock if he finds himself getting regular minutes in the playoffs much less be thinking about being an x-factor during them.


    With Gooden...well Gooden hasn't exactly done much to deserve to jump to the front of the rotation....and I don't think our bigman rotation is the problem anyway.

    Yeah save the "popsucker" comments and what not, I know its coming and I don't care.

    IMO this was his best year of coaching and heres why. You take any team, and you give them the injury problems they've had, the lineup problems, slumps to certain players, juggling rookies, youngsters and whatever else, and still win 50+ games, a division le, AND you have a dark horse chance at ANOTHER le?

    IMO, this was his best season of coaching yet. He took an Ime Udoka who most of the season looked like a worthless Sacramento King and has turned him into a damn solid player off the bench.

    Now has he had his ups and things where hes made you say multiple times? Sure as . George Hill not being the backup is still dumbfounding to me.


    Flame away like I said, I don't care.

    IMO, given what he's had to work with? Pop has done his best work.
    Well if you really think.... ah, popsucker!

    1. If you don't care about other people's opinions, why make a thread? Just so you could effectively shout your opinion at others? Then again, it's not surprising. You never change your mind or admit you're wrong about anything anyway, like a typical Republican nitwit.

    2. Explain to me how Pop is "juggling rookies and youngsters." He doesn't play them. That's not juggling. That's taking the three balls and setting them on the floor and walking off the stage. Ta da!

    3. Similar to Brett Favre, most of Pop's problems are of his own making. He shapes the roster. He plays the guys the minutes he plays them. I know you like to take what happened the last game and pretend like it's been the case for every game but if you don't think Fin has hurt the Spurs much more than he's helped them this year, I don't know what to tell you. If you think Udoka hasn't sucked out loud, I really don't know what to tell you. You're obviously watching a different game.

    4. NBA players have slumps and injuries? ZOMG!!!!

    5. Pop has no idea what Pop is doing. He said he's been very pleased with the Mason PG experiment, even though his shooting percentage went to and his turnovers went up. Even though he said he was happy with it, he soon went to Vaughn at backup point guard. Then he went back to Mason, but admitted if Manu was still healthy that he'd have been the de-facto backup PG. Now it's back to Mason. Maybe.

    Bowen will only be in the rotation, which many people have called for, and Pop has admitted this, because Manu is out. Hill, probably the team's 8th best player at this point, will be off the rotation because he's under 30 years old and no other reason.

    Pop's train has left the tracks, dude. And most people by now see this.
