Pop vs. Spoelstra is one of the only matchups that favors the Spurs against the Heat in a potential series, tbh..
It's discouraging that Spoelstra can outcoach him and run a system without Lebron/Wade that beat Pop's team at full strength, tbh..
Miami had only 1 guy that can create his own shot in the lineup tonight, and they barely ran any offense through him in the 2nd half..
They killed the Spurs with ball moment and simple screen action, despite having a bunch of players that can't even create their own shot..
The Spurs never adjusted on either side of the floor..
Why the was Bonner even on the floor late in the game anyways?..

Pop getting out coached is nothing new. He's also been out coached by Scott Brooks, Alvin Gentry, and Lionel Hollins.
Pop wasn't coaching well today for some reason. When his players put forth ty effort he kinda checks out too.
Splitter only 4 shots... Spurs win 85% of their games when he has 10+ touches... give credit to philly , he knew how to hurt us
This is a good question. I didn't even realize he was out there for most of the time that he was...He simply disappeared, hovering around the perimeter waiting for open shots and failing to take open shots once they appeared.
If he's not out there spreading the floor, what is he doing out there at all?
Father Time is undefeated even against coaches.
Heat defense destroyed the Spurs. It was a clinic.
You can call it being "out-coached" because he didn't have his guys ready to play and focused for the game if that is what you are getting at. That's about the extent of it though.
And that's the sole reason the Spurs lost tonight.
Pop is a great coach, but player rotations are his weakness. Spurs went far to long with DeColo, Diaw, and Jackson on the floor in the fourth. Playing Bonner in crunch time is also perplexing.
I really didn't see any fire out of the players except Duncan, Kawhi, and Jack to an extent.
That's basketball. Ball Movement,Extra pass and Wide open shots
Pop playing Bonner was just to take the shotblocker out of the paint. Did you see all those uncontested Kawhi dunks?
Teams don't respect Diaw's 3 ball and he doesn't want to shoot it anyway. Jack is also a poor stretch 4 because of his extra long release.
Pop gets a ton of credit from the media for his system, promoting ball movement, etc..
Pop received a lot of praise for the Spurs scrubs almost defeating the Heat, and for defeating the Bulls..
When he gets outcoached using the same principles, he deserves the blame..
Getting outcoached by Avery Johnson has to be the top of the list. He had a superstar in Duncan playing out of his mind that series and still lost to a weaker Dallas team.
heat shut parker down ~ball game
it's gonna happen in the POs too
This is a game where he should've gotten himself ejected early on. And definitely should've played Jackson in the 4th. Jack finally looked comfortable and fired up out there and he sits on the bench for Bonner.
I don't think Pop got outcoached by Lionel Hollins or Scott Brooks, tbh..
Parker shut Parker down. Heat didn't shut anybody down. The Spurs just didn't show up tonight.
/thread
/meltdown.
Bonner didn't want to shoot it either... I'll take Diaw defense, blocking out and rebounding...
Ya, this was one of the only good games Stephen Jackson has had in his 2nd stint with the Spurs..it would have been cool to see him on the floor instead of the Red Haired Vagina, tbh..
It won't be pretty when he's against Lebron or Wade, tbh..
Didn't say I agreed with it but I understand what he was trying to do.
I know you are the #1 Bonner hater on the site so I can't win here anyway. Move along..
Did u see Bonner? He disappeared, Duncan and Tony were shooting contested jumpers, Bonner doesn't set screens/play D/rebound/move/score.
Plus, We really missed Diaw's 1.9 RPG he's averaging over the last 10 games!
