Popo at it again; this is INEXCUSABLE.

The fact is, holding your tongue does not make you a better fan.

, neither does watching the D-League.

People who give Pop over throwing the Portland game obviously can't see the big picture.

The team had outperformed expectations on the RRT to that point and were obviously a couple of wins in the black. The players were tired, and winning away in Portland is very difficult, so Pop decided to rest his important guys and come back and try to win in Denver instead. At worst the team would've finished the RRT at an excellent 7-2 (the team probably predicted 6-3 as best case), so Pop felt he had the game to throw for the long-term good of his older players. And for all we know TP and Tim could be carrying niggling injuries that would benefit from a day off.

As for "the lead in the West", WGAF who's leading in the West at the half-way stage in the season? Totally meaningless when there's still 32 games to go.

Makes sense if you look at the big picture.

Check this quote out from last year.

"They feel they match up well with us. They chose to play us," Duncan said. "They got us. We'll see what happens."

We all saw what happened. A CONFIDENT, YOUNG team punked that ass. Punked it good too.

I didn't like Duncan making that quote because I felt he had no means to back it up. If it was the old Duncan that could have dropped 20 and 10 on them then I would have been fine.

I do see the big picture. I see that Pop is a pussy. His decision to rest his guys does not upset entirely. Pop goes further though. Pop decides to rest against good compe ion. He doesn't like watching his team lose against a good team.

Remember when Pop decided last year that he would throw 81, but play 82. Why not play 81, and rest 82? It was because 81 was against the Lakers and Pop didn't want his team to get psychologically beat down before heading into the playoffs. This is a pussy mentality.

Remember when Pop said that everyone was running away from the Lakers, as to not play them in the first round. That sounds like a pussy to me.

Unforuntely, other teams see the big picture as well. Hollins saw it last year and went entirely out of his way to punk the out of Pop.

Pop treats his players like children. It's quite insulting to treat a team of men so paternalistically.

Well, people here think all the Spurs players are so mentally weak that their confidence will be destroyed by throwing a game.

That is insulting.

So I guess in this instance there are two wrongs.

Fans insulting their team players by thinking their confidence will be destroyed by one loss.

Pop insulting his players by treating them in a paternalistic manner. I know coaches do this, but I've never seen a coach with the control Pop exhibits over his players.

Both are insulting. I think one is worse than the other. Yet, you defend Pop's nature in such a vigorous fashion. You must really love Pop.

No, Pop knows what his team needs over the long-term and doesn't focus on one game against Portland that he doesn't need to push his players into when they're tired from 7 games on the road.

Talking about resting players against the Fakers, did you ever think that maybe he did that so as not to show them any of what he was going to throw at them in the playoffs?

You're obviously one of those guys who thinks that the only way to confront a situation is to smash your head against it, and that anything else is "being a pussy". That's a caveman perspective. Try reading some Sun Tzu some time. A good manager uses cir stances to his advantage, doesn't let cir stance decide his actions.

Pop has masterfully managed the team so far this year - before the season, who would've thought we'd be 24-10 at the ASB without Manu for most of the year? Not I.

I get it Salty, your mother was a dumper, your father was a dumper and they had a baby dumper. It s ok to be ashamed. Yor living the lifestyle of the poor and desperate. If you need someone to talk to, I have office hours, but my doors are closed after hours and I'll never meet in a back alley. So I'm guessing that probably leaves you out of options.

Not really -- again, I'm just making fun of you, your terrible takes and inevitable meltdowns.

"The ones that say, 'We don't care who we play,' they're full of baloney," Popovich said. "We're all trying to hide from the Lakers in the first round and that's the truth. -Pop 2010

Yep, that's the asshole I want leading us into battle. An army of sheep led by a lion is better than an army of lions led by a sheep.

Also, before anyone mentions the 4 rings. Please don't because it's insulting to the Big 3 and every other player that contributed to those rings. No Timmy, no rings. If we didn't have Pop, I still think Timmy brings home those 4 rings.

Forgive me if I've misconstrued the that comes out your mouth, but are you saying that Pop had nothing to do with the 4 rings Timmy brought home?

So you think Pop is overrated?

It's a vicious cycle really. The idiot spews all kinds of on these boards. He then proceeds to get his pushed in, and the cycle starts over again.

What goes in must come out. To bad his is all over this forum board.

When Chump enters, it's never cute.

Actually, you posted that.

I find it distasteful.

It's nice to see timvp calmed you down, though.

You're quite obedient.

Alright homie. I need to get out of here or else I'm gonna start carrrying your stench around.

If it makes you feel better, I'm about to check out a D-League game LIVE. I guess that makes me a better fan than you! BooHoo
