It sounds like Carlisle could learn a thing or two about Pop from the haters on Spurstalk

On Gregg Popovich:
“The league is one challenge after another after another. Pop has become a good friend of mine over the years. It’s obvious what he’s accomplished. I think everybody in our profession kind of view him as the guy. When you’re some place for 18 years straight, nobody has done that since Jerry Sloan, and Sloan was there for 21 or 22 years, and everybody said that will never be done again. It will all depend on how Pop wants to go. But he’s the best of the best in my opinion. I think he’s the greatest coach ever, mostly because he’s been able to do it with a system. He’s got great players, but he’s done with a system, and he’s adapted their personnel to his system, and he’s done it with so many different moving parts over the years. It’s just been a phenomenal accomplishment.”

We're going to be longing for these days once Pop leaves tbh
I partially agree with this, Pop is a good coach at making so many different personalities work together and having a system that scrubby guys can actually contribute to on the court but he has had the great fortune of having Tim Duncan on that team who pretty much put everyone on notice that you don't screw with his team. Tony & Manu fell in line and they never cry to the media about minutes, about getting the ball etc they just do what they do. It does take work to make sure those scrubs they pick up to fill in the gaps are able to work within the flow of the team but a lot of that chemistry is built during the actual game.
this is not new, but it does not make perfect

Preach.
Pop is no doubt the best coach in the league. His ability to bench superstars when he wants, and his ego is part of the reason why everyone is in check. If a player starts becoming the team, that's when coaches lose control of their players...There's a reason why players follow pop so easily. It is because he's the alpha male in the team..Not Tony, not manu, not Timmy..In a way of course it can be bad, see game 6 and overcoaching.
He's got flaws that no one would dare to talk about though
I can seen him leaving in 2 years as to not remove Jerry Sloans name from that record since he has no rings.
Its part of Pops fake humbleness when he's the one who has never actually gotten over himself.
You never know what you have until its gone tbh. Gonna be a sad day when Pop decides he doesn't wanna coach anymore.
I beat that when Pop leaves, most of us will be like: I really like the rotations tonight...sadly...we didnt win...
I plan on weeping when he retires, tbh.
Truer words have ne'er been spoken.
I don't even want to think about the Spurs in 2 years....
With all the head scratching decision of Pop coaching, you can not undermind what he has done to Spurs. I myself thought Spurs are done 4 years ago but now I still have hope that they can still win le. He has alot of patience and faith to this team that he still hold on upto now..
It's gonna be a blood bath.
Carlisle is quite a coach too, great compliment for Pop.
Coaches who have won more championships all had vastly superior rosters. To have Pop's success with the Spurs small market roster is absolutely unreal.
Duncan hasn't been anywhere near his peak power for many years, yet Spurs even without a single dominant player have always been in the conversation, their luck just ran out in game 6.
u stick by your team. u stick by your fukin team. don't be like cavalier and laker fans. stick by your team when they are losing. don't run to a "backup team" until we start wining again. i've cheered for ty teams all my life. my college team only have had about 6 winning seasons since i've been alive and i stuck by them. now we're rolling..and i see new faces at the games that woulnd't even dare watch us on tv when we were losing 20 years ago.. i hate bandwagoners. u stick by your team
RC is no slouch either. Plus he looks like Jim Carrey. Props all around
Sticking by your team evidently only involves sticking to the idea of the team since you clearly have no loyalty to the players.
Would Phil and Riley have benched Duncan at the end of game 6 ?
None of them would have taken a team without a single superstar and with Danny Green and Gary Neal in the rotation anywhere near a finals game 6.
Yeah because Danny Green and Gary Neal were our 2 best players, thats a well known fact
So you're saying you're not a pop sucker?
