The Suns are up 3-0
was this necessary?
Real simple.
Who coached the series better Gregor Pop or Alvin Gentry?

Who has played better Suns role players or the Spurs' role players?
I'm gonna vote for Pop just because Fabbs is re ed.
Who the is Gregor Popavich?
Alright, who's the idiot that voted Pop?
On a serious note...Gentry comes off as a pretty calming influence for the Suns...seems like they truly like playing for him (unlike Porter)
Who's an obsessed, myopic dumbass?
I vote Fabbs.
Who's team had more than 3 players show up?
Who's team shoots 50% from the charity stripe?
Which team has no bench?
The Suns could of had no coach and we could of had Phil Jackson and it was a loss. We suck, stop making excuses.
Everything that goes wrong with the Spurs is Pop's fault.
Really, he should be fired before Game 4.
Great tacticians like Mike Dunleavy are available.
monoslobGETSowned or sabar would be good bets.
Well duh. Who's the coach that said he was afraid of the Lakers and if it's Dallas it's Dallas? That was the end of the Spurs.
series was less about coaching and more about draining 3s
Wrong. If the Spurs were coached by Rick Adelman, Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, Larry Borwn, or even Jeff Van Gundy, we would not be down 3-0 right now. We would be up 2-1, because we wouldn't have blown 15 point leads, and we wouldn't be shredded by the same play for three straight games.
Popovich coaches out of negativity. You heard him say tonight that, "It's a game of mistakes." That's his way of looking at things. A lot of people would say, "It's a game of making plays." Or..."It's a matter of taking it."
Pop's negativity and pessimism is finally wearing on the Big Three, and certainly on George Hill. It has runined Mason, and hindered RJ all season. I'm not sticking up for RJ, because I can't stand him, but every other coach in the league would have gotten more out of him than Popovich has this year. It's inexcusable.
It seems like every time Tim misses a free throw, the whole team deflates and loses confidence. What is that about? The negativity comes straight from Popovich - this is the atmosphere he creates. Guys are running around out there trying not to make a mistake.
On the other side of the coin, you hear Gentry tell Dragic, "Don't worry about making mistakes - just be aggressive." Now that's coaching from a positive angle - getting the most out of your player....something Popovich has absolutely no clue about.
what is it with you people and not knowing that the phrase is could HAVE and could OF. you sound like a pre .
Pop is the better coach but in game 2 Gentry really played smart by having Frye at center against Duncan. Other then that it's just because their so much deeper and a much better bench then the spurs. Eliot saying the spurs have best bench all season long lol.
Spurs fans were saying the same thing.
pop doesnt know a good rotation on the floor to keep a fkn lead when duncan needs a fkn rest....why rest when theres like 2-3mins left at the end of quarters...
I agree. Manu said it in his press conference, "We have to play a perfect game." Who can play a perfect game? That's deflating. The players are afraid of making a mistake, afraid of fouling (which he said they did in the 1st game). It's like it's drilled into the players' heads - don't do whatever caused us to lose the last game.
How can Popovich go an entire game doing the same thing and not make any adjustment or try something different (like a zone) after they get burned time and time again switching? Isn't that the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results? His stubbornness contributed a lot to the position they're in. This series was lost in the 1st game when he left Hill out there to be carved up by Nash and gave the Suns confidence.
a turd could out-coach Poppa Itch
Pop can not do miracles, can not make Bogans and Bonner become Dirk and Kobe ... the problem is the role players, not the technical, remember the championships that gave us Pop, Tony, Tim and Manu, they just need a little help from the bench
3-0 is pretty clear, evidence suports the call.
You make some good points but I think it's more of the talent he has to work with. HIs methods brought out the best out of Malick Rose, Jaren Jackson, Steven Jackon, speedy, Parker, Bowen, Oberto, Antonio Daniels, the list goes on and on. IN the case of Parker he created a bona fide star. All these guys had one thing in common IMO they had mental toughness. Bonner, Hill, Jefferson, and Mason definitly lack this and I gotta wait on Hill to see if he can get out of his funk but it looks like he may go that route also. I think Blair just doesn't know how to be scared he has suffered from trying to do to much but he is definitly fearless out there.
And oh yeah he did win 4 les along the way also.
sounds like a hitman for the russian mob
