still no name that will do better with this exact same team.......
Dear sticks,
I, along with a growing number of real Spurs fans on this site, am growing tired of your bull . By openly defending Pop of not being the problem on the Spurs and by extension insinuating that he be kept (hint: the only worse coach than Pop in the NBA right now is Kiki Vandeweghe and you might be better with him at that) will make this team perform better, you are either admitting your status as a moomoofan stick or have overdosed on the greatness of Tim Duncan and the four championships he has delivered to this team.
Many of us remember the days before this current Pop and see it as an improvement. Many of us remember what it was like to have a team whose rotations made sense, and one which the players believed in, including the years of the previous Pop with four championships. Three NBA franchises have more rings than the Spurs, and since you probably don't know who they are, it's the Celtics, Lakers and Michael Jordan. That's some pretty ing good company if you ask me that we should continue to enjoy. Going to the back of the pack is not acceptable for a true Spurs fan.
This team needs to play SFs at SF and their current big men next to Duncan to succeed. A new coach is needed if Pop can not return to form. If you believe otherwise, you must be shrooming.
MooMoo fan: A fan who will follow their team without question to the the slaughter.
True Fan: A fan who will follow their team and will question every move that does not result in a championship.

No he just said the only one currently in the NBA who might not. Some of you need to come to grips that when a guy gets outcoached twice by Vinny Del Negro your team has problems.
Grow up its just a sport, you little es you act like Pop murdered someone close to you. And please stop acting like you know better, b/c you don't.

Pop has been acular this season and I'm a fan of the guy. His rotations and starting lineups look like a kindergarten class picked them. His comments and overall negative and pessimistic demeanor speak of a man who has gotten fat on the hog and has given up.
I am a little confused here. What is the offense here? Is it the mocking nature toward the original thread or simply that a new thread was started to accomplish said mockery? Is it the language? Certainly not . . . Was the original thread starter banned? I don't get it.
Oh, wait . . . it was the Moomoo fan thing. Yes?
I'll gladly sign this letter. The Popsucker version can kiss my ass.
A little?
This thread is certainly going to bring all the geniuses out of the woodwork...
No. I mean, I get that both threads are extremely stupid, but that can't be the criteria . . . can it?
You are definitely confused. No one is going to edit/delete the thread or ban the original poster. init2winit was just complaining (as usual) about something that hasn't happened.
This team, as its composed, with TD, TP, Manu, and Pop has run its course. As much as we want to blame all the other pieces or one of these four men, it is the collection of the whole that is the problem. Players don't know the system and the coach doesn't know the players. In all fairness to Pop (and I'm not apologizing for his inep ude this season), he seems like the captain of a sinking ship. You can see him mightily plugging leaky holes left and right. The problem, however, remains as there are too many leaky holes to plug.

Pop is here to stay until he retires on his own account folks
Dear _JaGoFf,
I'm just trying to have a little fun and entertain myself. If you want a an intelligent, serious discussion, go start a thread that merits that response. I am just working with what I have here.
Pop deserves the most criticism of anyone for our underachievement this season, but it's not even close to all on him. It's just a game of basketball; the coach only does so much standing there on the sideline.
. . . Or, am I confused like a fox?

Top 5 Pop mistakes this year
Pop's been the guy that has steered the ship off course more than the injuries or anything else pertaining to the players.
Top 5 Popped screw ups
1. Not moving on a trade for Tyrus Thomas & John Salmson when they we're both available. TT/JS would have =
2. Signing Bogans which torpedoed the more athletic and talented Hairston's role on the team.
2. Playing regular minutes of small ball as a habit, instead of a situational tactic.
3. Constant tinkering with lineups and rotations. Roger Mason seemed to have gotten the worst of it ... his role/minutes have fluctuated all year long.
4. Dumb strategy of sitting Tim Duncan on B2B's .... took the spurs out of rhythym both times he tried it, which effectively ended their two best winning streaks of the year.
5. Using Michael Finley in the rotation.
I'm sure I could come up with more, but these are the main problems
Hmmm, funny you should say that...
