    But as for this widely-held assumption that they wanted to face the ailing San Antonio Spurs, that they saw this oldie-but-goodie team as vulnerable and thus fought even harder to outlast the Houston Rockets in that overtime game on Wednesday that secured this matchup and got them out of facing top-seed Oklahoma City? That's where the boasting came to an end.
    "No, no no no no no," World Peace blubbered, his head shaking and eyebrows raised. "Not when you've got (Spurs coach Gregg) Popovich – uh uh uh uh uh. He's amazing. That coach is something else. I just know he draws up plays where he could have five old ladies after they eat 14 boxes of chocolate chip cookies. He'll put them on the court, and they'll win. That's how good Popovich is."

    Respect.

    “I remember one time Kevin Garnett was mushing him, and shoving him in the face; and Tim Duncan didn’t do anything, he didn’t react. He just kicked Kevin Garnett’s ass, and won the damn championship. You know what I’m sayin’? That’s gangsta. Everybody can show emotion, dunk on somebody, scream and be real y; but Tim Duncan is a…he’s a pimp.”

    The typical backhanded compliment the Spurs often receive. Really, what people are saying is, "I can't believe they're as good as they with that roster; those guys just aren't that good".

    While Pop is easily the best coach in the NBA, he's also the most overrated, if that makes sense, tbh..

    Spurs fans are spoiled. Bonner's return comes due to injuries, Blair is on his way out, Tiago is starting, every player has gotten equal chance to earn playing time, and the team has finished top 1-2 seed the past 3 years while sticking it to Stern. Coaches have more to do with a team's success than people give them credit for and it's always seemed so stupid to me that half of ST thinks they'd manage the team better.

    I just said he's the best coach in the league, tbh..

    He's overrated because the media and non-Spurs fans that don't follow the team closely act like his doesn't stink, as if he doesn't have his fair share of blunders and blemishes on his resume..

    Like TD21 said, Pop's system generally receives more credit than the players do nowadays..

    I'd take Pop over any coach in the league without hesitation, but he's stubborn and he has a long list of -ups, just like any other coach, tbh..I'm not Paranoid Pop or Fabbs or any of those s that hate Pop for any decision he makes, I'm merely pointing out that he isn't the flawless coach that the media has portrayed..

    LA is rumored to be considering amnestying him. He'll never be a Spur, though. I don't think his admiration of Pop is reciprocated. Pop has probably had enough of crazy alumni of the Malice in the Palace, tbh

    No doubt Pop is the best coach in the league and Metta knows, especially being around weak-ass D'Antoni

    Good post, I would say the same. Stubborn old , but I'll take him over any other coach I've witnessed.
