Pop finally pulled the soft card on the presser...

[Boomersgold]

Really? It worked later on when we were trying to play catch up (of course we would brick every shot anyway to waste it). It was absolutely foolish to do though when the Spurs were hitting 3's and had a 10 point lead.

Yeah. When we're down, hack a jordan keeps Paul and Griffin out of their rhythm. It should only be used in the 4th.

[noles1983]

Lol I knew that got would deflect the blame away from his self. ing pasty moon face got

[K...]

I still don't see it. We lost this game by not having enough player's give full effort. No dominate Kawhi or duncan. Best players were marco and Diaw!

[timtonymanu]

Yeah. When we're down, hack a jordan keeps Paul and Griffin out of their rhythm. It should only be used in the 4th.

Yeah I was talking about the stretch in the 1st half when Pop went to it. We already had a 10 point lead and were in rhythm. Then Pop ed it all up and we never recovered.

[therealtruth]

Hack a jordan's worked...In fact, we lost tonight because we didn't utilise it enough.

How does putting TD in foul trouble on an instance when Pop didn't want to do it help us?

[Clipper Nation]

Pop/Yesdoka/BoyYes/HamYes/Yessina

They ALL have to go

Don't forget Yesrique.

I'm surprised he called out Leonard like that.

[tmtcsc]

He didn't give a straight answer to the reporter who asked him if the intentional fouling had thrown the Spurs off their rhythm. At least man up and admit your mistake

What did he say? "Maybe? I don't know. I don't think about those sorts of things. I'm not trying to be a wise-guy here. I mean, what do you want me to say? There's no science to it. We like to blow fouls and ruin our momentum."

[dabom]

I'm surprised he called out Leonard like that.

What did he say?

[tmtcsc]

Tim hates being called soft and that's exactly what Pop did. I hope Tim tells Pop to off.

[ShooGazer]

Lol I knew that got would deflect the blame away from his self. ing pasty moon face got

Lmfao this made my night better

[loveforthegame]

What did he say?

Pulling the soft card. Leonard was the only one to plat ty tonight. Had to be calling him out.

[spursparker9]

Timmy don't seem worried

[therealtruth]

I'm surprised he called out Leonard like that.

The reporter asked. We'll see if this group has the heart of a champion.

[Warlord23]

Timmy looks about ready to retire and throw Pop into the deep end of the pool

[baseline bum]

Incorrect.

This game was looking like one of those games the Spurs have every series when they just completely blitz the opposition for a quarter... enter Pop.

Yeah, short of 6, I can't think of too many more frustrating losses than this one. And I knew it in my stomach the second he started it halfway through the second quarter. I just wanted to smash my TV the first time they hacked Jordan.

Pulling the soft card. Leonard was the only one to plat ty tonight. Had to be calling him out.

ummmm, most of the team sucked ass

[tmtcsc]

I feel for bad Tim. He didn't deserve this soft coaching performance.

[TheGreatYacht]

There's a lot of casuals in here who think Hack-a-Jordan worked...

Spurs are up 10 and can't miss, Clippers are 1/9 from three, Chris Paul is 0/7.... HACKING IS USED TO KILL BOTH TEAM'S MOMENTUM BUT THEY DIDINT HAVE ANY TO BEGIN WITH!!!!!

[tmtcsc]

ummmm, most of the team sucked ass

Everyone but Bellineli and Diaw sucked tonight but I'm still blaming Pop for this. It could have been different and he pissed it away. How do you not prepare for the high pick and roll that they kept running with Paul, Blake and Jordan?

[RD2191]

Guess who?

4 assist as starting PG

What a piece of .. it's easy to be the "greatest basketball mind" when you got Tim Duncan carrying you for so long.. Hope he has a heart attack

This board really should ban more people.

Like yourself.

[Harry Callahan]

The Clippers are weak enough mentally to lose again at home. They don't have a home court advantage out there.

It's really frustrating watching some of our formerly great players struggle against losers like the Clippers.

I have a feeling Kawhi is going open up a can of angry whoop ass on the Clippers.

There are no more second chances now.

BTW, the Clippers are still whining phony es. All of them.

Bill Simmons of ESPN is a Clippers season ticket holder and he still dislikes most of their players.

I guess he is more of a Boston and NBA fan.

[100%duncan]

Lol got never owning up to his ed up strats and rotations. Go die drinking winenif you are tired of coaching

[MI21]

Yeah, short of 6, I can't think of too many more frustrating losses than this one. And I knew it in my stomach the second he started it halfway through the second quarter. I just wanted to smash my TV the first time they hacked Jordan.

Yeah and then the missed travel on Crawford sealed the deal for me, easily one of the most frustrating losses. It had all the ingredients that generally lead to disappointing Spurs losses in the playoffs (poor coaching, star player completely folding, blatant call missed in dying moments).
