The PopApologists Excuse Thread

Nothing in the CBA prevents them from being moved to another team once bought out.

Try some glibness again.

They can't be traded.

You're stupid.

Moved, not traded.
Add some fiber.

I don't think Pop is a good coach.

Hank Egan and PJ Carlesimo are good coaches.


you all get the idea.

Hank Egan and PJ Carlesimo are the only coaches who can coach HOFs and great surrounding role players to les.

you all get the idea.

Pardon me, I thought you were being sarcastic. Welcome aboard.
But it's not "Fire Pop", it's "Trade Pop" to some organization that is as sheepy and mislead as the PopApologists and overvalue him to the nth degree. Like maybe Toronto??? I don't know if they are, but a Popped for Bosh deal (yeah yeah work out the numbers with Jefferson or what/whomever) could be just the cure we need to get Duncan a 5th.

You said trade.

Try not being stupid.

The point is Pop should have played Ian or Malik during the beginnig of the year when we are supposed to be getting a feel of the team. I am not saying they would be like Bynum or Brown but at least see if we could have been getting some type of production from these players. If not then we would have a rested Finley with Bonner. Now we are left to wonder for the rest of the season if these guys could have made a little differnece. I am not saying that if they played good then we would challange the lakers, but maybe Denver.

Pop is a moron that is wasting poor Peter Holt's money when it comes to player development & usage. Hairston could easily be filling Bogans' shoes right now, and saving Holt 1.5m~. As for Mahinmi and his history of injuries, I could see why Ratliff was signed, but Ian has been healthy but never sees a minute of action. There's another 1m~ of Holt's money wasted and Ian has gotten next to zero development minutes.

Blair goes 8-8 in 1st half with 6 boards yet Pop does not start him in the 3rd qtr and he only gets 24 game minutes.

Mike Finley again getting burn while Ian sits. (Finley in at the very end of the game when the Spurs were trying to choke off a 10 pt lead, that i get as the Kings were probably going to try and foul. Instead the Spurs just kept turning it over.) Nonetheless, Finley in during the 1st half while Ian continues to sit.

23 min is not giving someone minutes who went 20 (on almost 90% FG) and 6 with a block and a pair of steals. Wtf are you smoking man, you already forget the Celtics game? That one and the one last night showed that Pop really doesn't know what the is going on this year. If Blair is beasting in the first half, take minutes from every big without initials TD so that DJB can get 30+ minutes. He should still be starting too, he's outplayed Dice this year, as well as Bonner.

And trust me son, it's causation. The cause is Blair playing with unlimited passion IN THE PAINT, just tearing up and throwing his big body around. The effect is Tim (the Spurs best player) doesn't have to kill himself being the only big willing to be in the paint on both ends of the floor. Bonner won't touch the paint with a ten foot pole, and Dice only really gets in the paint on D. I would too if I had a jay like that though. I don't even need to get started on his chemistry with Manu. But let me just say this, he has completed more plays with Manu halfway thru his rookie season than Fab and Manu did on their best year (maybe an exaggeration, but I doubt anyone will do the research to prove me wrong). No knock on Fabricio, but no one can deny him and Manu knew each other. Oberto just settled for a sneaky backdoor layup or baseline jumper every once in awhile. But Blair seems to know Manu, has spectacular hands, charges into the lane every chance he gets while maintaining superb body control, and is fine with getting spoon fed by El Contusion. Correlation my ass.

I don't agree with Fabb on a lot of things, but he's spot on about Blair.

PopApologists, care to reply? It's not neccessary but if you do,
