Everyone knows Manu is my favourite of all time, but I don't get why pop continues to choose a Manu PnR over a Kawhi Post up which is a much more deadlier and much more efficient at this point of their careers.
Peaked out Duncan = Swept by PHX, upset by 8th seed
Duncan's resurgence = WCF, Finals
Duncan has been playing horrible this season... No coincidence, Spurs can't beat anybody good. The media likes to give the credit to Pop and RC Buford![]()
Popovich. Anybody with eyes has seen how horrible Pop has been. The Finals when he kept Manu in when he shouldn't of had, to taking Duncan out on the last possession of a game. Continues to give Ayres PT, a guy with Oompa Loompa hands, low IQ, makes Blair look like Ibaka when it comes to rim protecting. The rotations he has out there is embarrassing to watch. Playing Zone, the 90's called Greg. The guy who made "The Big Fundamental" to "The Catch and Shoot". Signed Ayres because of a new assistant coach he barely knows lol. Manu gets hurt, doesn't call timeout. This guy has even admitted Coach Bud knows the system better than him. When a reporter asks a question about his horrible decisions he rudely bashes them for doing their job... Anybody remember when he said Kawhi was going to have plays drawn? WHAT PLAYS?! A post up?!
RC Buford?!?! The clown who overpaid Jefferson, Tiago, 8 TO injury prone Manu, Matt Bonner, signed Bogans, doesn't bother to recruit anyone in the offseason like Pat Riley, and surrounds Tim Duncan with reject euro bums. Media is mistaking what this clown has done, with what Sam Presti did.
No wonder Pop wants to retire when Duncan does. He doesn't want the world to see the true Greg Popovich.
Keep fighting bro!
Viva la resistance!
"because he's a genius. all of this losing is a genius strategy for the playoffs"
i believe leonard is gone. after duncan and ginobli retires, no way does leonard stay there just to watch parker run crazy on offense while getting killed by every pg in the league on the regular.
Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor!?!??!!!!!
Why Duncan wasn't imbounding the basketball at the end of the game as beyond me. His free throw shooting nearly cost them the game
Lol still so good.
2 minutes away from being the best team in the NBA. With one of the most injured teams in the NBA. And the hardest schedule in the NBA.
This thread.
In the running for the worst in Spurstalk history.

Translation: "Spurs last le was in 2007"
Pop is brilliant, but perfect he ain't. Just see the last 26 seconds in June for proofs.
Make that tied for 2nd hardest with Clippers and Portland... Kings lead in SOS.
Yeah, all those other small market teams are just HAULING in NBA les.
No one is perfect, but Pop is still far and away the best coach in the NBA no matter what any of you idiots say!
And IMHO the Spurs are lucky to have him.
And to call someone a Popsucker simply because they acknowledge this fact just shows how ignorant some on here truly are.
Uh oh. You called sbm an ignorant idiot. Let's see how deputy dog handles it.
"fact". It's your opinion.
alllowing 3 pters when up 6 and 3 respectively with Championship 99.99% in grasp in 6/28 doesn't even rise to the level of elementary school janitor coaching 4th graders.
Then to be a stubborn pussy about it when asked in the interview......
^ got quitter probably quit on the Spurs before the playoffs even began last year.
Worst thing is how he gives interview saying it's all on the players now... Still trying to wash his hands of that ...
lol whinny
Despite 8 and 6, the team still being compe ive right now so much so you could label them as Championship contenders is a testament to Pop's ability to make more of the parts that surround the big three (really, the big four) than anything. Before 2010, the team depended on the talents of the big three to get them places. As the past 3-4 years have showed, Pop has inserted offensive sets that maximize every players ability when on the court. That's hard as to do and I can't imagine the difficulty in doing that at the NBA level where the margin of error for coaching and system overhaul changes is as small as it can get.
its hard to recognize SBM when he isn't just spammingeverywhere
