Gregg Popovich..

The only NT plays for a month, and only 40 min games at that. Manu can't even get through training camp without getting hurt.

How do u know that? He never played big minutes in the NBA

[Johnny RIngo]

Maybe because his NT coach play him big minutes no matter what, so he is always in rhythm

He had 20+ playoff games to get in rhythm

He played 8 games and averaged 30 minutes last summer.

The Heat played slightly better in game 7 they deserved to win, but the Spurs blew the chance to win it all in game 6 tbh.

yep. In game 6 Pop, Manu and Danny the bed. They don't have enough Clorox at Costco to the statins out of those sheets. Burn em. Burn the mattress too.

[perfectdark]

pop overcontrols everything and his rotation as killers

[SA210]

We probably have six if Phil Jackson coached the Spurs from '98 onwards.

At least

Explain to me why an injury prone, 35 year old is playing international basketball when his club is paying him 14 million to play REAL basketball? Even worse is Ginobili looked impressive for Argentina and then came back to the NBA and played like for the entire regular season and playoffs.

Because he loves his country, and feels its an honor to represent his National team at the Olympics. Most likely because of that. Seems like most international players share the sentiment. I don't even know if the Spurs from a business standpoint want to estrange a whole country because of a few games played in the Olympics.

Manu was signed bellow his market value throughout his career, the first year his contract is bad, is this one. And people started complaining (mentioning it) about it in the NBA finals.

And i never said Manu sacrificed everything for the Spurs as well, just that he always gave everything he had on the court, and that im not gonna blame a guy like that. I just can't, even though i fully realized he played terrible...

It's incredibly stupid on Manu's part to continue playing in the off-season at his age. His history with chronic injuries makes it even worse. Duncan rests his body and prepares for the regular season like a professional. Ginobili puts his own interests first before the Spurs. Cuban was right in calling international basketball a sham that does nothing but hurt NBA teams.

All on Pop, gave away Tim's 5th in game 6, and then coached a horrendous game 7.

Pop "they made more baskets than us"

Well except for the part where entire countries tune in to watch their national hero's play in the NBA playoffs, buy NBA merchandise, and buy TV broadcast rights.

And Manu hasn't played for his national team since the 2008 Olympics, right? I would take Manu's interests over the 95 percent of American born players " i want the biggest paycheck possible no matter what" interest any day of the week tbh.

Pop is too old to coach a championship team
