Spurs: Why doesn't Pop get enough credit among spurfan?

[KobeOwnsDuncan]

Honest question.

[Bill_Brasky]

This bomb wasn't calculated very carefully. Better check your math.

Because Spurs fan is re ed and doesn't remember how ty it was in the mid 80s to late 90s with the coaching carousel of failure between Cotton Fitzsimmons, Bob Weiss, Larry Brown, Bob Bass, Jerry Tarkanian, John Lucas, and worst of all, Bob Hill.

Pop and Enrique get Pau/D'antoni LG treatment ...even though they dont sniff 4 without 'em.
True Pop pissed the bed last June but neither PJ, Riles or Bill B are perfect.

I think Pop gets too much for that. In hindsight it's easy to say he screwed up because the absolute worst-case scenario happened. But that was such a highly improbable ending. Duncan's foot speed/agility is nowhere near what it was 97-05, and I know you remember how he couldn't stay in front of Odom at all in the 08 WCF for example. Because of that they had been better all season with Diaw instead of Duncan on the floor in that situation when the other team is forced to take a three. The coach who really ed up in the series was Spoelstra since he waited until an elimination game to make a trivial adjustment to neutralize a red-hot Danny Green, but winning shuts the media up. If Philibeaner makes that adjustment in Game 2 Miami wins in 5 or 6 vs winning in 7 due only to two lucky offensive boards.

He did the exact same thing in the exact same scenario during the GSW series, it worked, and he was hailed as a genius.

And Memphis:

[spurraider21]

the first possession where duncan was taken out, it made complete sense because they had a small lineup out there with no Bosh. it was James, Miller, Allen, Wade, Chalmers. and thats the one where we almost had the board, but kawhi/boris couldn't secure it and Wade made a great play on the ball. i get that.

the second time around, Bosh was in the game, and he got an uncontested rebound because his only compe ion for the board was ing Manu

Yeah, if anything you have to say that Spo got outcoached during that series. I've always maintained that he should have stuck with the guys who got him the lead (Bron + shooters/birdman), but everyone has a different opinion on that one.

[Blake]

All the*Popsuckers*that scoffed and tried to ridicule me when I said that Pop is still the biggest obstacle to the Spurs winning a le....what is the reasoning now?

Where is the Coach of the year?

Pop pulls Bonner...Pop puts Bonner right back in...GENIUS!

No One on the Spurs with any desire...any fire...any balls...this is what the Playoffs have in store...and this is exactly what happened last season...

This seasons playoffs are just about here and head coach is right on cue to get embarrassed again....

[ElNono]

Pop is great, tbh

Let us proceed.
