This dude is so salty. Look, I'm not one for banning due to opinions, but this dude doesn't quit. The forums were better without him. What's funny is this guy keeps posting when literally noone wants him here. He got banned FDA LOL will he ever get a clue?

Btw Manu for life got ass bandwaggoning homer. Pop = top five coach EVER.

[xmas1997]

Still salty from the banning.

The clue? The clue is this:

I should have told you this before- but I think over the last couple of days - you have started to see it;

People in here HATE....I mean HATE ...truth...

Nothing will bring out the popsuckers and spurs homers wrath more than - TRUTH.


They absolutely HATE it. They will label you a troll, will try to gang up and hit you from all sides and all the others will appear out of nowhere and have a little hate parade.

If you want to be "accepted"

You must;

A) Never tell the truth or call things exactly what they are - you cannot do this. Truth will get you on the "outside" here.

B) Pop is always right. Every decision is justified- because - 4 rings, hall of fame, etc....

C) Even when you are PROVEN right - it didn't happen and you are still a stupid troll, an idiot, and - it just never happened- and if you try to say - "but it was the truth!---and I was correct!"....just go back and look at (A) above.

D) les are for winners....2nd place is what these Spurs homers are satisfied with - don't try to understand - don't try to convince anyone here that the object and the highest hope is a championship - because --- it isn't what is important here. Following Pop and spurs mgmt is more important than actually winning les. 4 is enough and anything else on top of 4 les makes you greedy and spoiled and a stupid idiot in here.



If you understand all that - your time here will be a little better. Just lower your standards and be accepted and ....


"2nd place forever!!!!!!!!"

for people like hemisfair, sbm, sa210, all i've asked was for them to name the coach they want us to replace Pop with. this just ignore it, give some post that has nothing to do with the question, and say popsucker

Why would anyone name a coach on a team that will never get rid of Pop?

WTF is the earthly in' reason that you feel it is necessary to name a replacement coach when Pop will not be replaced?

What we are merely pointing out is that Pop s up as much as any coach - and if he s up he should be called out. Stop thinking that you are anyone to dictate anything...and oh yeah...you are the epitome of a Popsucker because you refuse to see truth even when it slaps you across your Popsucking face.

It's always the hot coach du jour. It was Adelman for some time. Now it's Lionel Hollins.

Trolling comes with the territory. That's never going to go away so it's pointless to try and police it.

It's the racism that's particularly offensive. "It's just a forum" doesn't make it OK.

I understand and agree. My particular pet peeves are ignorance and blind monotonous accusations.
But you know what? It takes all kinds to make this crazy world go round!

if you think pop is so terrible, surely there would be a laundry list of head coaches you'd want us to replace him with

[dallasmaverickslose]

I'll push the issue once more.

Pop haters which coach do you want to replace the bumbling fool Gregg Popovich with?

You never post anything of substance. You just post flaming hatred.

[TheGreatYacht]

I've never called for Pop's head. I've actually praised the man on some of my other posts. I think he's great at managing player minutes, he's great at developing and giving opportunites to young players during the regular season, and he's one of the best at getting the most out of role players. I just think that he has become so stubborn to the point where he has little self-criticism. He is so fixated on his sytem in regards to player rotations such as trying to manage player minutes or questionable rotations in the middle of a Game 6 of an NBA finals.

Here are some good posts that I agree with:

Good point. To me though, Krzyzewski looks about 8 years younger. Pop has a limp in his walk. His legs aren't straight they are bent, and his back is hunched. Doesn't get up out of his chair as quick either. Just think his energy level will begin to wane. And he'll go to his I'll talk like I don't care schtick more often just cause of that.
"It's just a game". "They know what they are doing... I don't need to tell them that". "If they can't appreciate the opportunity, then nothing I say will help anyways".
As you get older, you get wiser but your young players aren't wiser. Part of me thinks he talks like that because he's seen it all and he's lacking energy which leads him to resort to this schtick.

Pop does act bored at times, like he's getting worn down from this . Phil Jackson often had the same look towards the end, though maybe Phil was bored from being surrounded by amazing talent, or perhaps being around Kobe will grind anyone down. I don't like Pop's at ude as much anymore, but I also don't blame him for getting tired of the grind.
I imagine he's got a couple years left, most likely go out with Duncan. At this point those guys just want to ride this thing out with each other, so hopefully they can get another ring together.

Popovich is the most overrated coach of all-time. He has four rings because of Tim Duncan, yet he sits Duncan in the last minute of a closeout game - and that's precisely why he doesn't have five rings. This stuff isn't rocket science. If you have the pieces and the talent, you steer it so it doesn't go off a cliff. Pop is no wizard. And he cost Tim a fifth ring. Period.

Not sure about the overrated part because I think that PJ is also overrated, I mean he only had MJ, Kobe, and Shaq on his teams.

Coaching a 37-yr old TD, injured TP, injured Manu, Diaw just from a surgery, if you look closely, it was almost impossible for the Spurs to reach what they had accomplished in 2012-13 season. To the Finals.
So it does not warrant your move for him to stop coaching.

Slipping, I think, or the in so-called "execution" function maybe, but he's more on the stubborn side than dementia.
Like he yanked out Duncan when they already had no time-out left, then re-inserted again? huh? That was so out of the blue.. Negligence of Pop? or his asst. coaches?

I thought Pop did a good job throughout the regular season and majority of the playoffs, especially when you factor the injuries and age of the team. So I definetly give credit. But the Finals, particularly game 6, was brutal. He looked lost out there, maybe in need of a drink, perhaps helpless with Manu's tiness. Those 2 blew this Finals the most, to the point you hope they can recover from ting their pants. Hopefully they realize it.

Doc Rivers is overrated as well tbh.
Anyway Spurs fans know Pop's limitations better than anyone else but even some outsiders were shocked by how inept he was in the Finals, Bill Simmons among others called him out on it. Pop has an aura that he mostly has thanks to Tim Duncan and people in the media were mostly afraid to call him out on his mistakes but after his historical fail it's starting to change thankfully.

Pop isn't a hack like those guys, he definetly deserves some respect and appreciation. But he's also let his ego and stubbornness get the best of him and the team. Just hope there are people there to tell him about his ups, because he acts like a tenured professor at times, perhaps past his prime.

Why resort to name calling and baseless accusations to the guy? I mean, what does that accomplish? Does it make you feel better or superior?
I agree that Pop makes mistakes, even the BEST do, and few will dispute that Pop is one of the best at coaching, but he will still make his share of mistakes.

What confuses me is the "calling out" part. How do you intend to call him out, ................ on here, this forum? That sounds like you will get a lot of satisfaction, about as much as the old saying, "fill one hand with and the other hand with wishes, and see which one will fill up faster!"
The point is: where and how do you intend to call Pop out that will get some positive results, something concrete? Otherwise it is just useless drivel imho!

oh really? cause guys like you and great yacht seem to call out pop like if he's some ty high school coach coaching an nba team, not calling him out like every other coach. Every dam thread I see concerning pop there always this dumbass imaginary battle between "popsuckers" and "pophaters" Yeah we understand, he makes mistakes like every other coach, he's human. Even Phil Jackson and Pat riley made mistakes in their coaching careers. Does that mean you have to ing send him to the pit of everytime someone mentions him? Stop with this bull notion that most of us are "popsuckers" that believe he's a god that never makes mistakes. I'm pissed off he made mistakes but a coach is only as good as his players. Tell me what other coaches you would like to coach this team? Hey how bout vinny? he's a ty ass coach but hey he's not popovich so he must be better right? Apparently to you "pophaters", liking pop just a little bit makes you a dam "popsucker" and you guys rip on people for liking pop. You guys believe that a person must fully despise pop, if not that person is a idiot. But weather you like it or not this guy is one of the best if not the best coach in the nba right now and it's ing pathetic that having a great coach like him is not enough for so called "pophaters". How spoiled, maybe spurs fans are runner ups for most spoiled fanbase behind laker fans. Oh and also, stop with this "see the truth" thing. What, is this some conspiracy or some ?

i was SPOT on

You've asked and I've given you the same answer time and time again. I dont know why you forget it. I would take Thibs from the Bulls in a heartbeat to replace Pop. If what he did last year with half his team decimated with injuries and his star player gone for basically two years still doesnt convince people...nothing will. The man is amazing. He would return us to our defensive roots and knows how to manage players...not stay bench a guy like Duncan with a le on the line in the last seconds of a game 6 in the Finals. He was the defensive guru behind the Celtics winning their le and going to the Finals. Imagine if he had a Parker/Duncan/Leonard to work with.

[Chinook]

Thibodeaux couldn't coach this Spurs team. He runs his players into the ground, and as good as he is on the defensive end, he's still pretty bad offensively. If he coached the Heat, they could be the greatest team off all time. But the Spurs would have lost in the playoffs due to the Big Three breaking down in the middle of the season.

Thats fine. While I respectfully disagree, I think Pop is more proven than Thibs. However, Thibodeau is not available to be head coach of the Spurs. As it stands now, Pop is our best option, and is widely regarded as one of the best head coaches in NBA history. He's on the Mt. Rushmore of coaches, right alongside PJ, Red, and Riley

Why not Red Auerbach? I want Red Auerbach! He won 9 championships! Imagine what he could do with the talent on this squad!

LOL I can do this just as well as you!
