Is there another coach in the league

[silverblk mystix]

Spurs is a much much older team than Thunder, no other coach in the history of this league would be able to get the current GDP core 2-0 into the western conference finals and 28 seconds away from a le last year.

Think about what Hakeem/Shaq/Jordan were doing at age 38, they sure as weren't competing in the final rounds of playoffs.

Spurs fans are so incredibly spoiled. Only reason the team was/is a contender is because of Popovich's minute management of GDP. There is only so much you can do when Duncan is no longer capable of soloing Perkins/Adams of the world.

Anything GDP gives at this point is a gift, just enjoy the final moments of this core before this team sinks to the bottom half of the league for the next decade when Popovich retires.

Pussy Exhibit A ^^^^

The problem I have is the Spurs are too mentally soft. All that coddling doesn't build championship character. Championship teams battle back from adversity to win. The other side of the coin is that Pop helped OKC's confidence by surrendering. When you do stupid stuff like that, that's how 10-10 shooting happens. There confidence is at an all-time high. Meanwhile your team probably doesn't even think they can win.

Spurs teams have a long history of sulking when things get bad. We have never been good at clawing back when down.

It is called a losing mentality.


A) The players quit because they are coddled pampered pussies who cannot have a scratch before they have to rest for 3-4 weeks and they learned this from the paranoid pussy coach.


B) The coach quit because instead of trying to show that warriors fight til the end - he pussy-coached and taught them to have an at ude of "we don't have it tonight - we will try again thursday - why tire ourselves?"


C) The pussy fans side with this pussy losing mentality because the franchise already has 4 rings..."why not just be grateful....we are lucky to have this coach...there are other teams that wish they had one ring...who would you replace Pop with?....sniff sniff...whimper...whimper....you are stupid....blah-blah"



2nd place is for losers and pussies...



Pussies.

other than ur choice of words, i agree with everything u said

this team is soft when things arent going their way

There is no accountability

This is one of the bigger problems.

This team definitely has no leader on the court. May not have one on the bench either. So when most of the team pusses out and is ready to go home and play with the kids/try a new expensive wine/play some videogames/ an extramarital (Tony)/get some &asshole from the roommate while Vanessa goes out to party/etc there is no one to inspire and rally everyone else to continue playing the game.

What about Finals game 5 in 2005 or game 5 against the Suns in 2007? We're missing Horry and Bowen. I think two guys who were crucial in battling back when things go bad.

Outliers. Our overall history is pouting on the bench as SOP.

My point is those guys made sure we didn't quit.
