George Karl has 14 first round losses if I counted right on Wiki
4 Greg Popper
Before any of you P Poppers serve me some crumpetts, it is acknowledged that # of total seasons coached is a factor.
George Karl has 14 first round losses if I counted right on Wiki
Ya i remember that 1994 team that had the Poplike 1st round exit as #1 seed.
09 and 2010 Nuggets too.
Pops team in 011 was the #1 seed indeed, other than that they were probably either banged up and missing Manu like in 09 or as in this year playing against a higher seed very talented Clippers team. In 00 Tim Duncan was out so they had no shot at all.
One Time Manu out for the year and the other Tim, Manu also hurt and misses a key game 1 in 11and if they have him they win that game 1 and probably the series.
Among active coaches with at least 5 playoff appearances:
14 -- George Karl (22 playoff appearances)
7 -- Phillip Saunders (11 playoff appearances)
5 -- Richard Carlisle (11 playoff appearances)
5 -- Glenn Rivers (11 playoff appearances)
4 -- Gregg Popovich (18 playoff appearances)
2 -- Erik Spoelstra (6 playoff appearances)
2 -- Thomas Thibodeau (5 playoff appearances)
2 -- Stanley Van Gundy (7 playoff appearances)
An exit is an exit. There's only one win that counts in the playoffs.
That's like the baseball pitcher who has the most career losses or the most career walks -- it just says he's a great pitcher.
Karls got Marty Shottenheimer type stats.
Like Shot, he is great at getting bottom dwellars up to annual playoff making status.
So how has Pop fared in playoff series against this list?.....
0-1 against Doc Rivers.![]()
2-1 vs Rick Carlisle 09L 10W 14W
Karl pending
That. There's no second round trophy.
Karl -- 2005 WCFR (W), 2007 WCFR (W)
Saunders -- 1999 WCFR (W), 2001 WCFR (W)
Carlisle -- 2009 WCFR (L), 2010 WCFR (W), 2014 WCFR (W)
Rivers -- 2015 WCFR (L)
Spoelstra -- 2013 NBAF (L), 2014 NBAF (W)
I've got no idea where you're going with this, but the answer to your question is 7-3. Two of the 3 losses were in extremely close Game 7's in which the Spurs were the road team.
it's a horribly disguised Pop bashing thread
and it fails.
Threads le.
As to the head to head, i wanted to keep it to 1st round matchups. Still interesting to see the overall.
No it's not.
Just some stats for perspective on Pops 1st round flame out to genius Doc Rivers.
this thread isn't about Pop even though the question was answered in post #2.
there's more evidence here of you making this about Pop than of Brady knowing the balls were flat
Why should it not be about Pop?
Two of the top 5 1st round losers faced off.
Doc had a far worse percentage going into the series. (5 of 11 vs 3 of 17 for CIA Popped)
Very timely thread.
no further questions your honor
lol Fabbs on himself again.
He is so ty when he is covered in his own .
He's going to lash out now.
Thanks for the numbers. It was a nice refresher that Pop, flaws and all, is one of the best in the business.![]()
A Spurs board where the team just finished a series against a team with a comparison of 1st round flameouts.
Topical. You? Not so much.
Good to see you are now out of the thread.
And i see you just logged on as Rumpy for immoral support.
Take her with you.![]()
lol lashing out
Fabbs is so angry.
IIRC Pop has never lost multiple playoff series to any coach other than Phil Jackson.
Right. Same team but different coaches.
Mavs Rookie Avery Johnson.
Mavs Rick Carlisle
