I'm sure if it happens this time you will do so happily.
Pop has learned from his mistakes, it's as much as you could ask for tbh... Still pretty weird how he underplayed Boris last year... Kawhi had monster games last year as well, the only true difference is Pop trusting Boris, changes the whole team...

I agree, I could've gone without seeing Bellineli on James & Wade though...
I don't know that Boris was ready to play like this last year. He has admitted himself reticence to get involved fully. Popovich has the guts to try and fail. He has many clear failures that signify confidence in tinkering. Look at the approach to starting lineups dictated to a certain degree by injuries during the regular season.
Aside: the great thing about this thread is using it as a reference to make sure the ignore list is complete.

Even though Gregg Popovich is an egotistical, hot headed, over rated, auto pilot coach, who made his fame by riding the coat tails of Robinson & Duncan and even though he gave the NBA championship to the Heat last year by benching his starters, I give him props for not screwing the pooch in 2014….
you are either a troll or an idiot. whatever
He is neither, he is a pessimist, although he will say he is a realist, so I suppose he is a pessimistic realist.
He isn't a troll or dense headed either like skull, TGY, and possibly Hater are about their hatred for Manu because unlike them, he will admit he was wrong when and if we win it all.
This thread could go down as one of the biggest fails in ST history.
Except when I started this thread -
it proved to be accurate for a couple of seasons...the one where Pop never played Tiago and then panicked and tried playing him too late in the playoffs and the Spurs got eliminated.... - check
and then 28 seconds from a le - Pop happened - check
If the Spurs win the le this year - all you idiots will now call this a fail?
rofl ok!

I just see the truth - that without Pop's ups - Timmy would have at least 2 more les.
But yes - I will be happy when and if the Spurs ring - and will give Pop credit.
No excuses.
Championship or nothing.
You are either the best team and the last team standing -and a true winner -
Or
You are no different than the rest of the losers who went fishing.
2008,2009,2010,2011,20012,2013;
Failures led by Pop.
No, you're definitely an idiot.
And you have no room to talk, especially calling someone other than yourself an idiot tbqh.
You're an idiot too.
This thread is an integral part of ST history!
Even in spite of his mistakes, a championship will invalidate this thread. People are calling the 2014 Spurs one of the greatest teams of all time with no superstars and a great system. Without Pop it wouldn't be as good. Therefore he's a great coach...pretty straightforward.
LolAll 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?
Bonner still the first "big" off the bench...
No sight of a TD/Tiago pairing....
Blair...6'7'' starting center ...
Being embarrassed by MIKE BROWN....MIKE IN' BROWN!
McRoberts posterizing Bonner....Pop pulls Bonner...Pop puts Bonner right back in...GENIUS!
No One on the Spurs with any desire...any fire...any balls...and Coach Pop didn't change anything...just kept the same rotation...the same everything....
This is what the Playoffs have in store...and this is exactly what happened last season...
Pop has had two seasons now with Splitter...and in two seasons...he has not been able to "find time" to try and integrate his only two players approaching 7 feet....this is the NBA where being tall is something that can't be taught...on top of that Splitter is not just some "serviceable' "blue collar" role player...he can actually be an asset by his mere presence on the court with his vision, passing, and basketball IQ...but head coach has pissed away two seasons....
This seasons playoffs are just about here and head coach is right on cue to get embarrassed again....
COTY....
mall cop thinking he can talk basketball.
It's all great, even the guys calling each other idiots and then the serious poster refuting the idea that Pop is awful. Pure INTERNET GOLD (as originally coined by Benefactor)mall cop thinking he can talk basketball.
Ok, SBM, Pop did it!
What a pitiful thread tbh
mall cop thinking he can talk basketball.Tough night, "officer."Ok, SBM, Pop did it!
Ok, SBM, Pop did it!
Yes, Pop is a great coach!!!!
Wonderful night - I love to be proven wrong about Pop -
a le or bust - every year for me!
Thanks for being a bigger man than most of your peers.
We argued this point passionately on both sides, even cussing each other out, but Pop came through vidicating me, yet it matters not that much anymore because we won #5 in the end.
And you were big enough to acknowledge it.
Thanks again. Just shows that some of us can admith when we are wrong and join in in celebrating.
Now we can think about a back to back!
