Pop Punked Splitter

[BackHome]

Man I don't think I have ever seen a coach in a playoff series go off on a player like Pop went off on Splitter. Yeah, he was playing like but you hardly play the guy what do you expect? For the team this had so do something as a player you see that and you start thinking of not making mistakes which will leads to poor play on the court.

I don't know how Pop is going to repair the damage since this was on national TV. Lost respect for Pop doing that not the way to act as a veteran coach....

David Stern is a Script Writer for the NBA.
If you can't see that you are blind and to that I say enjoy your movie! Don't look behind the curtain because the suspension of disbelief won't work. Suspension of disbelief was coined by the poet and aesthetic philosopher Samuel Taylor Coleridge in 1817. David Stern is a huge fan of his work.



George Lucas ALSO went to an extraordinary length to mess up the integrity of his Star Wars Franchise. Case in point: EP1, EP2, EP3 and trilogy tweaks and profit hoarding to name a few.


For what? PROFIT.

Enjoy the movie you drones!

If its anyone Pop should of yelled at it should of been Parker.

With that act, and the fact that Bonner got 0 time, Pop has publically and indirectly admitted that he doesn't trust the reserve bigs on this team. If that's the case, then why the did he roll with this crew to begin with. Bonner & Blair need to go. The frontline needs to be rebuild to help refocus this team on getting back to their defensive priniciples.

Splitter makes millions. If his pussy hurts, go back to your sub D league abroad.

Thought that was a pretty massive overreaction from Pop. Yeah Splitter ed up but exploding like that and then proceeding to bench him for the rest of the game seemed excessive.

[icango]

has pop lost it. his CIA mind is turning on him...lol

[ginobili fan]

Pop is a great coach but his excessivity costs us the game very often...
And tonight isn't the exception

Pop didn't want to yell at his boy toy Bonner.

Ironic that you double posted

I was glad to see Pop fired up. Splitter has been garbage in the playoffs, and doesn't belong in the NBA. Splitter was better than Bonner, but so is David Robinson watching the game in the stands.

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

I think it shows how Pop has always felt about Splitter- not a lot of respect.

Bonner, Blair, and Green need to go. We need toughness to compete with the Thunder. Scary thought is the Thunder will be even better next year.

[NRHector]

Non issue. Pop has ed at everyone on national tv at one time or another.

[NRHector]

ing Bonner scared as when Pop was yelling, ing pussy

[ColinB]

Pop did the same thing to Bonner last year during the Memphis series. It has nothing to do with 'lack of respect'

[icango]

pop should have at him self because no one was listening to him.

[SequSpur]

Splitter sucks.

[gospursgojas]

Pop was pissed splitter made a mistake...in a close game...in a elimination game....in the wcf. Nut up.

Sidenote: he also ed Neal out pretty badly at the end of the half (or maybe it was 1st qtr). Didn't even let Gary stand up. Pop ed him out rightthere on his knees
