    You're so stupid sorry. I won't reply to anymore. Ciao.
    Of course you won't. That happens when you are stuck on your moment. You don't remember anything else that came before it. You are a pop hater and you stay fixated to that niche.

    tbh, I just can't stop remembering the 4th quarter starting and being in complete shock with the lineup... just cannot get over it. And after they cut it to 4, Pop calls a timeout and same lineup still out there? I was floored.
    i agree, i remember that exact same moment. I was texting my cuz and kept saying Manu and Lebron are going to kill us. Then after the timeout I was thinking "okay good, we'll get things back on track." but when I saw it was the same , I just had the worst feeling for this game.

    This thread isn't about hindsight, tbh. This thread is about critiquing coaching decisions as they happened.
    Your foresight sucks so you're having trouble realizing others have some.

    Any guy that had the time to turn the ball over 8 times and go for a -21 in a close game was on the floor too much right?

    Manu doesn't put himself in the game.

    I agree with Lanny. Popovich blew the game plain and simple. Even when they needed a 3 to tie it at the end he had both Duncan and Splitter in. WTF?!
    How goes it Bro? Long time no talk! I love Lillard, but your coach blows.

    What up Lanny? I'm not a big fan of Stotts either. I think our future is better than yours though.

    You would have been howling if Manu turned it around like he has 234,109,235 times in the past.
    If's and buts were candy and nuts.....

    You inference that Popped just had to leave Manu in is incorrect.

    Are you gonna address the compare and contrast part?

    And no, i would not have been howling if Ginobili had turned it around. I announced to all viewing the game with me that wow, this is like a weird win. Others commented on how neither team deserved to win. It was like hoop at its unfundamental worst. Yeah of course i would have been happy, more like relieved if the Spurs would have and should have overcome their 15 screw ups. Up 5 with 28 seconds and choking? Wow.

    Blame spread:

    Ginobili 90%
    Pop 5%
    Parker 5%

    Everyone else played to or exceeded their respective expectations.

    Probably, unless Mitch busts out the Magic Wand and jams it up the Clippers ass in a Dwight Howard for Blake Griffin/Eric Bledsoe steal for us!

    Nash, Kobe, Paul Pierce, Blake Griffin, Pau Gasol. Bench: Eric Bledsoe, White Mamba (Steve Blake), Jordan Hill, Earl Clark, Peyton Siva, Big Man To Be Named Later.

    Tim is best at throwing the pass to the corner. He is TALL.

    Splitter sets very good screens because he is mobile and large so he gets in people's way.

    The ball was thrown on a line to the corner before Green was even there as it was a play drawn up. It worked well but Bosh made an outstanding read. The thing Miami did that was excellent is not bothering to even put a man on Duncan.

    What play did you draw up besides "not that one" ?

    The guy is making 14 million... highest on a team that prides itself on frugality.

    hes won multiple trophies... made numerous clutch shots. its hard for me to fault Pop the majority of the pie for relying on someone who is SUPPOSED to be able to get it done.

    I split the blame 90/10.

    Just now seeing this and i concur. its a solid spread. forgot about Parkers ridiculous tunnel vision. but i forgive him for the stepback three... it was FMVP worthy.

    The focus was still defending the three-point line.
    Who's getting the rebound with Bosh out there and Tim not? Leonard maybe but he was on the perimeter guarding the 3 point line. That left Manu trying to get it which Bosh easily reached over him and you know what happened next.. Your wrong Duncan had to be in the game as soon as Bosh came in..

    The job of a coach is to put his team in a position to win. Spurs had a tremendous opportunity, and they couldnt do it. Its not supposed to be easy. Spurs know this. yea theyre dissapointed. All the "What ifs" enter your mind and could creep in doubt, but the Spurs know what compe ion is all about.

    Blame the Heat.
    Thank you.

    Let's play your game.

    If you say that that was the focus, was the goal attained? No. Because no one was out there in the point to ing rebound.
    Actually, there were too many players in the paint to rebound. They ran into each other and the ball popped free.

    Kawhi was out there guarding Bron. The others were still far from the paint. Only Manu really had a chance albeit a slim one against a 6'11 Bosh.

    I was also shocked at the lineup starting the 4th and being in for so long.


    BUT:

    Duncan couldn't make a shot in the fourth quarter. Period. Continuing to give him the ball to try would have been poor.

    Ginobili had a terrible game, for which he feels worse than any of us do.

    Parler was literally heaving he was so exhausted in the 4th quarter, and he was being guarded by James. The answer to that situation was Ginobili stepping up, but we all know that didn't work out so well.

    So Parker was out of gas. Duncan was out of gas. Manu was out of sorts.

    And what happened? James was desperate and found a fifth gear.

    As the other guy said: Blame Miami Heat. They won the game. NO single member of the Spurs lost the game.
