AHF, you and I both know the Spurs le hopes died on July 12th, 2007.
Pop, the fact that he was even in the running for COY this season would've been a disgrace to every previous coach that ever won it.
He ain't anymore; no chance.
Not that you could ever disgrace an award given to Mike D'Antoni, Sam Mitc , Mike Brown, Larry Bird, or Byronn Scott.
It's like the Nobel Peace Prize after they gave it to Arafat.
And Finley before him... really a complete waste of the final good years of the best PF of all time...
Pop is obviously a very good coach in most aspects... but its become pretty clear in the last 4 or 5 years that from 97-07 Tim made him appear a 'great' coach.
True. This year's embrace of significant PT for Hill, Blair, and Neal gave me hope.
Of course, Pop has gone Larry Brown on us the last several weeks with McDyess in the starting lineup, treating us to a reserve front court of Blair and Bonner. i.e., no defensive presence.
Meanwhile, Tiago rots on the bench because he doesn't have the "corporate knowledge" of scrub ass Bonner.
That's true, although a lot of people have said Arafat should have been awarded a second Nobel Peace Prize for dying.
Blame the FO...or lack of $$ from the FO -- not Pop. With Tim growing older, the FO needed to spend more $$ for a better supporting cast to win 2-3 more les.
Expect this franchise to be gone w/in 5 yrs. The basketball gods were looking down on the Spurs with the decades of DRob and Timmy. But it's over now b/c you have cheap owner(s) who won't spend the $$ to bring new talent to S.A. Plus, the Kobe's and Lebron's who rule are all full of themselves. There aren't anymore Duncan's and Manu's in the world.
Wishing ill will on your own team....

Eh, they inked Ginobili and Parker to extensions and paid ridiculous money to Jefferson and Bonner (stupidly on the last two counts, but they paid it). Holt was a penny pincher in 2007, saw how much it cost the team, and decided to go for broke trading for Jefferson's contract.
Dear Matt Bonner,
Thank you for your dead eye shooting throughout the season. Alot of the Spurs #1 record is bc of your great contributions from beyond the arc. That Miami game we won by 30 was fun...your 6 3 pointers made it a great game to watch.
Since then, however, you are shooting 12 for 50 from 3 pt land. Now I now you can smell the playoffs are just weeks away and that is obviously the reason for this decline. No worries...it was expected from us Spurs fans, but now if you would just have a seat on the bench while the REAL season begins, that would be greatly appreciated.
I feel bad for all the zero's in this forum going goo goo for kokoo flakes. They were so hung up on the best record, they couldn't see straight. The team just isn't that good. They dodged bullets all season long and it finally caught up with them. Where's Bonner's offense? Where's the improved Spurs defense? Where are all the knock down clutch shots one after another? Where is this multi-dimensional spurs offense? Where's Pop's sense of urgency?

The FO put the money... They made some good decisions (re-upping Manu, Tony, drafting Blair, Hill) and some bad ones (RMJ, Bonner over Scola, re-upping Bonner, RJ, extending Finley, etc). Some others you can only call in hindsight (ie: RJ being a bust), so I won't blame them for them.
But they put the money. Maybe they didn't want to touch the lux tax this season, but they're on the hook for the next few ones (pending the new CBA). Maybe the bad decisions lately outdone the good ones. I certainly agree the onus wasn't put on the bread and butter that gave us 'ships in the past.
I can't exempt Pop though. He's the VP of basketball operations, and an integral part of the FO. He gets the credit and the blame too.
Bonner is a beast in 2k11Pop has mancrush on videogame Bonner: 100% from downtown, better looking...
BUT BUT BUT +2 tonight, nevermind his 0-5 shooting!!!!!!!!!!!! They could not win without him! They were what without this bozo out there? What was their record?
Ah shucks man you're correct on all accounts! Oh by the way, who will be the Cavs first round opponent come playoff time?
How much are we paying Novak? He's got the same skill set as Bonner, and I'm guessing we wouldn't have had to pay him $4 million a year, either.
This is all on Pop.
Gasol, Bynum, Artest, Odom mean no more les for Tim.
Kobe's just another star player playing on another stacked team..
So if Tim can't win because of Pop's bad coaching, does that mean Tim won because of Pop's not-bad, good? coaching?
I note that since Pop has cooled off, post-apoplectic, and stopped insisting "defend or sit", the Spurs defense has achieved mediocrity.
