apologizing to a 4th option...
Jim Boylen will never become head coach..What a beta.
Not likely.these are the same coahces that would handle Kawhi when pop retires...

Early onset of Alzheimer's?
Talk about totally incompetent and unprofessional. At least we won't have to worry about losing any more assistants to HC jobs.
That just proves why Bud was so much smarter and better than any assistant we have on the bench now. How the does any ol' sport forget to put an impact player like Kawhi back on the floor in a crucial season game? Stupid explanations
Boylen already broke two rules from Pop's school of coaching.
1. Never apologize
2. Never admit you made a mistake
sadly I could see Pop rationalizing his decision to pull Duncan til the end.
Not worried about them once Pop leaves.
I'll bet Bud or Brett Brown will ditch their current jobs to take over in San Antonio.
Yep, I remember thinking "where is manu?? " and them I saw the tweet lol I thought it was a joke. These coaches really suck.
I'm not defending the coaching staff, because they've been pretty bad at developing Kawhi, but just like in any job, you have to assertive.
Let's say you want extra hours at xyz job. Well, Bob wants extra hours too. when the managers observe both you and Bob shows more passion and excitement for his job, they'll usually pick him. Even if you're doing the better job.

You can only forget on the bench a small-time roll player. you can't forget a star.
And that's the main problem with forgetting Kawhi on the bench. It proves that he's still considered a role player, while he should be a star.
On every other team he would be Paul George. But Kawhi is only a 22 yr old kid and the coaching staff needs to fix his head,
to make him want to get the ball more and make him want to be a leader on the team and to change his "I'm only No. 4 here" state of mind.
Kawhi should be averging 21/10 every night (just like he did vs. golden-state-none-big-3-game).
But the coaching team led by Pop is very diassapointing this year. Keeping Ayres on the court is one terrible move they're doing.
Not taking Kawhi to the next level is another.
Forgeting him on the bench just approved what I've been thinking for a while now.
Bud was with the team for nearly 20 years and was Pop's top assistant the last 7 years. Boylen has been with the team for, give or take, 6 months?
Dude screwed up, apologized for screwing up, and hopefully will learn from this. If this keeps on happening, then sure, it's worrisome.
It isn't just a Kawhi issue, Boylen forgot about Manu as well. Only difference is Manu basically said it and subbed himself in. How you can forget to sub in 2 of your best players, one of them being the guy that made it a game to begin with is inexcusable.
Parker is not the only one who forget Kawi
I missed the game and purely looking at the box score thought it was foul trouble but Kawhi managed to go from halftime (when he had three) until he was taken out with just under 9 minutes to go without a foul. Then he takes a seat for what amounts to like 25 minutes of real time??
Fouls:
1 - 1:14 left in first | 2 - 0:33 left in first | 3 - 1:32 left in second | 4 - 0:34 left in fourth
Time on/off floor:
Out after 1st quarter (12:00 total)
In at 7:26 of second
Out at 1:32 in second (17:54 total)
In after halftime
Out at 5:47 of third (24:07 total)
In at 1:16 of third
Out at 8:49 of fourth (28:34 total) - score 82-83
In at 0:38 of fourth till end (29:12 total) - score 98-105
Meanwhile Patty plays most of the fourth and goes 0-3 from two, 1-2 from three, makes a pair of FT, turns the ball over twice and causes two himself. Understand why Diaw is in the game but with Marco / Manu on the floor with Patty, the perimeter D is not what it needs to be especially with no Green. If you have other creators on the floor and no Tiago clogging the paint, why not unleash Kawhi even for a few more minutes?
Yeah should've brought back Carleisimo who is such a coaching savant....

Youre on a decaying message board forum. You can't bring intelligence and logic here..
T Park, if this message board is decaying it's in large part to posters like yourself who not only have limited knowledge to share, but you bandwagon and quit on your team when things go wrong and generally treat people poorly (drink drain-o ect...).
Tbh.
aren't you fat?
damn right and well said. pity is the word. this assistants crew stinks. how is it possible to leave Kawhi out by mistake? and to come out and publicly acknowledge it then say 'oops, sorry' is pretty weak. Pop can't get tossed any more.
Taking responsibility for your actions isn't weak. Criticizing someone who does IS weak.
#StayKawhi Gonna happen soon tbh
Shouldnt have gotten out. Shouldve just made it up to him in other games and no one would be the wiser. Never show weakness.
I'd say that Pop shouldn't get himself tossed knowing the assistant coaches behind him, but this is the same coach that's playing a 22-23 year only 28 minutes per game and who had Splitter on the bench while MEM killed Blair and Bonner. Enough with this "saving" players, Kwahi needs minutes and touches to grow. He's the only one with a high ceiling on this team and it's his growth that is needed to offset the natural decline of the big 3.
Maybe Pops plays Kawhi 28 per game because there is something wrong with his knees, tendonitis is some serious he never treated Parker that way when he was 20, he was playing over 30 minutes every game.
