Here. Go and tell Pop all you want to say now. I'm really looking forward to your comments tonight...
Not going to comment on everything you said - it's a waste of time, you need to calm down. As I said, I'm looking forward to seeing your comments in 2 days time.
The only thing I'd like to mention is that I'm not a particular Pop homer or anything like that. I just called you out on the name calling, I don't think it is warranted. Thanks.

He coached a good game tonight. I thought that throwing Bogans at Dirk was a good move, Bogans did a respectful job and enabled Dice to finish the game and Dice has been important at the end.
The end does not justify the means. I'm not sure there's a lot you can credit Pop with for tonight's win.
Manu said they didn't come out in the third quarter with the right mindset. How does that happen?
Putting Bogans on the game is never the right decision.
Yeah, Bogans playing at all was horrible. They played through it and won inspite of it - not because of it.
Pop had his moments in this series but tonight wasn't one of his better games, imo.
With Dice in fouls trouble I thought it was a right decision tonight at least
I would have tried with Blair alongside Duncan.
Indeed. He had only one foul, but from the looks of the stats(I was working so I only got snippets of the game), I'm not actually mad Bonner got more minutes for a change.
Exactly and I'm sorry, but too much boner tonight too. He had some good plays, but he got too much time tonight again. Let's face it - the mavs had the talent, but they weren't playing well together at all. Blame it on their coach or new players - they still were in it when they shouldn't have been. I hope Pop changes his thought process on inserting boner, bogans or mason as the playoffs continue on. Bogans had 2 good defensive plays against dirk, but he wasn't valuable on offense - in fact he was hurtful as was boner after a while.
pop haters!!!!!!! you can always count on them
in your opinion, what did Pop do great tonight?
dang dude. if the Spurs had won their 5th championship tonight, you'd find something to complain about!
don't get me wrong - Pop's a great coach and his resume shows that, but that doesn't mean that he's perfect and this year has been one of his worst at figuring this team out. Why did we have success in this round? It's the same reason that we started to play well at the end of the year - MANU!
think what you want buddy. It goes both ways... why were we playing so poorly in the beginning of the season-MANU.
Manu started to play like hes expected to play......
sorry - we have a long road ahead of us and some of the stubborness of Pop will haunt us when we play a team that's got it together. And yes, if we don't win a 5th this year I'm going to be pissed. How much longer do we have Tim, Tony and Manu playing like they're playing?
who cares about the regular season? Can you honestly say that Pop magically got Manu to start playing?
are these your comments for tonight?
what? lmao what are you talking about? then where is the pop hate coming from? if your disregarding the regular season? you're the one who brought it up.
I may start a thread about my sober thoughts on Pop's game 6 when the dust settles, but guys I am flat out convinced there is something seriously wrong with Pop.
Seriously.
After a few minutes into the 2nd, hearing Pop's comments, we think he's keeping an even keel, we're kicking ass, all is good.
After the 3rd quarter started, Pop apparently did not make it a point to attack Dirk.
And we settled for jumpers THE ENTIRE REST OF THE GAME.
We never attacked Kidd or Dirk both of which had 4 fouls.
We only fouled Roddy B. once, while he was getting layup after layup after layup.
Then to puss out with 4 fouls on McDyess when Dirk and Kidd have had 4 for the entire 3rd quarter......we go THREE GUARD LINEUP with Bogans....amazing
It was as if Pop was intentionally throwing the game in that stretch.
I don't care how easy it is to laugh now that we've won but the Mavs turned the table like a mother er and Pop did lose control.
The big point tonight is that we hit the jumpshots we were forced to take the rest of the game.
After the fourth was underway, I was basically like, "Spurs fans pray that we keep hitting our jump shots because that's all we're goign to do the rest of the game"
Sure enough.
George Hill earned a few more clutch medals on his jacket after tonight but noone will convince me Pop coached a good game tonight.
He ing blew it.
We essentially depended on jumpshots the entire 2nd half....and half of those made jump shots were off balance and out of rhythm.
Our players just shot ing great. Props to Dice, Hill, Parker for winning this game with their jumpers.
there's a difference between a player not performing well during the regular season and a coach not coaching well during the regular season. Pop's in charge of getting his players in rythm by the time playoffs start and getting some type of chemistry going as well. A single player doesn't affect that outcome - Manu needed time to get rythm, but that doesn't mean the rest of the team does as well. If you think I'm wrong, fine, but why did Pop say he wasn't able to get the team together if it wasn't his responsibility to do so?
I'll leave it at this - if you asked Pop how good of a coaching job he did this year, I would guarantee that he would say he had one of his worst years of coaching so far. All I'm asking is that he stick with the players that are top level performers and bogans, mason and boner don't fall in that category.
