lol @ phil outcoaching anyone... Jordan was the Bulls' coach and my hs coach could have won with Shaq and little kobe, tbh
that's why anyone should be afraid of the lakers. the lakers with kobe is 1 guys shooting 25+ bad shots and expecting his teammates to rebound his misses. the lakers without kobe is a team moving the ball working it from inside out and teams not knowing where the threat is coming from.

How would we see an example of fear by a coach?
Lmfao
hilarity
Best opponent we could hope for. Yeah, Pop is shaking in his boots. The Spurs are going to blow the Lakers off the map. He knows this, as does everyone else.
2008 WCF would be a good example.
lol at thinking Pop is better than Phil. Pop couldn't outcoach Avery Johnson...with homecourt...with a dominant series from Duncan.
What did Pop do in 2008 that showed fear?
No Phil Jackson. That is ALL that needs to be said. Pop never feared the Lakers themselves, but it was something about Phil Jackson that always got the best of Pop. That and prime Shaq and Kobe and some guy named Fisher had ALOT to do with it as well....
He got over-confident when we took that 20pt lead in Game 1, put Udoka in, Kobe caught fire and after losing that game we could never really recover. Phil ended up having Radmanovic and Vujacic running circles around our bench.
To be fair, there's been way too many mental bruises, including .4, the Fish foul on Barry, etc. so it's not like there's no reason for his fear.
But none of that is there anymore.
Never understood Pop's obsession with scrub players. He does this same with Bonner now.
SMALL BALL! That lead us back into it!
lot of bad memories of Finley playing power forward...almost as bad as Blair playing small forward
I agree on Fins playing SF, but he played his ass of that series with his dunks and his threes, he surely is not the reason we lost that series against Dallas! He went all out at times, his dunks were crazy lol. Pop going small though was not great, but hey they got to 7 and almost won? Should he have played Nazr and Horry more etc. that series> He just seemed to give up all in all with that series there and playing tall ball, he went small. They still almost won it though? We were down 3-1, was going small the reason they got back in it? If he goes big do we go down 3-1? We will never know at all. That series still has me puzzled.
Manufan conveniently forgetting Manu was injured in 2008. Dude hurt his ankle vs. the Suns and was never 100%. It was miraculously and help of crafty Rob HOrry that we somehow squeaked past the Hornets. But vs. a Gasol Laker team, Spurs who had slept on the plane the night before series started, were just playing with house money the entire series vs. the lakers.
How anyone can blame that series on Pop is beyond me.
Pop can be his own worst enemy...Pringles is over on the other bench...nuff said.
Just dont start the game threads and we're good.
No it wouldn't
I think Pop's inferiority complex is something a lot of Spurs fans deny. Moreover, the fear is apparent on the court as well, in some very unexpected places. If I see a certain someone do that f'n slumped-shoulders, head-hanging routine I'm gonna scream.
Man this is gonna be a blast from the past. Awesome first round matchup
Can't see Pop being afraid of D'antoni.
Since Pop isn't playing, I can't see Pop being afraid of anybody.
Maybe Metta World War

In addition to our own talent on this team, we have added help on the Lakers team. World Peace will find a way to do some stupid-ass thing that will cost them. Howard hasn't displayed an ability to play under pressure. His Magic team never gave him that experience. Their coach has been down this road before against Pop, Timmy, Manu, Tony, etc. and "it ain't good."
Finally, exactly how healthy is Nash? What has he done this year?
This series cannot go past 5 or 6 games. Based on the above, you know which team will win.
nicely stated.
