Which coach has the most 1st round series losses for a career?

[therealtruth]

4-1 Phil.
2003 was the only year Pop beat Phil head to head.

More talent then prime Duncan GNob and co?
No way. Popped did have a similar quitter at ude in 2008 about subbing in Brent Barrdog for 60% Manu like this years "we wont win without Parker" nonsense.

I don't think PJ's compe iveness is much greater than Pop. Pop believes there are more important things than basketball and coaches like that. He likes to say you can't win it every year. No compe ive person would say that nonsense.

Yup...people like to rag on the Buffalo Bills for losing 4 straight Super Bowls back in the 1990s, but forget that it means the Bills won 4 straight AFC Championships, a notable accomplishment.

Damn good team.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Seeing FWD dismantle Fabbs in a thread like this is kind of like witnessing an in-his-prime Muhammed Ali box against a 3rd grader...it's just not a fair fight.

[MultiTroll]

McHale just does what CIA Popped was unable to.
NoNo please start training Ed on sugar and cinnamin sprinkling.

[Arcadian]

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

Shut the up. You tried to start a clever thread, and it was an epic failure. FromWayDowntown demonstrated how embarrassingly wrong you were, and this is how you respond? There's nothing you can do to save face now, except shut the up and stop posting.

He didn't demonstrate .
I gave a list of over 30 people/coaches who could have taken out Doc Rivers and the Clipps.
Now we can add McHale to the list.

Go back to your altar and worship.

Actually, putting Udoka on Bryant when we were up 20 in Game 1 was probably his biggest blunder that series.

But Gino was hurt, and we all already know we go as far as Gino takes us...

[Gagnrath]

That. There's no second round trophy.

You do get a nifty silver trophy for winning the third round and losing the 4th through.

No parade though.

I never see anyone bragging about those tbh

Gino being hurt was huge but honestly Tim is our ace no matter what this we go as far as so and so takes us... He is our most cosistent piece year in and out since 98. I get a laugh out of Pop or someone saying we go as far as Parker takez us when in reality Tim is the head of the team even at 39 and u know every series when others struggle or fade he is going to bring it.

I love Pop and Manu etc. but how lucky can you get to have this guy on your side for your career??

Tim is the foundation. Without him, there's no shot. He's always going to make your team play at 8/10. If the other team doesn't play at 9 or 10, they can't beat you, and that's definitely Tim. But this isn't 2003 anymore, and it's rare you're not going to find a team in the playoffs that doesn't play at 9 or 10 (2007 notwithstanding). That's when you need the x-factor, the extra gear, the guy that takes the team by the balls and takes it to the next level, and that has always been Gino. When he hasn't been right, we really can't win. You always have guys that can take on the scoring or defensive load, but when it comes to leadership, when you need that momentary jump in quality, those two have always been the guys. Hopefully at some point Kawhi is special enough that he can pick up and carry that torch, but it's also entirely possible that he won't. We're talking about special guys here, if it would be easy to find them, every team would have them.

Thats my point, when Gino has not been right they can't win (Tim seems to always be right except 2011). Tim is the one who is the most consistent by far and always there, true he needs help to win it all as others do but honestly he is the head of the team like I said and the foundation as you said. There will be others to come and go as that piece to help out but Tim is the one who is always there and the consistent one year after year and some take that for granted (That he will always be there). Ginobili was a huge key off the bench and to their success no doubt about it at all but the consistent is Tim.
