I learned today that Pop was overheard venting to his coaches that op is "just a dumb ass". I didn't hear it first hand so I can't go into the details of what he meant but that was the gist of it.
You should visit the Star Wars thread. Bunch of Siskel and Eberts on this board.
And yes I remember that game. It was like he was purposely passing the ball away quickly out of frustration. The passes had alot of velocity on them, more than usual.

Like myth busters, I'll call this one "plausible".
What does Wojtek say about it?
Doubt this happened, but if LMA doesn't "get it," then what did Tiago "get?"
I genuinely can't stand posting. I really can't. It's the most autistic, pointless thing a person could actually find "entertaining". The idea that you think it's hilarious wasting hours of your "life" trying to bait people into replying to your ty half arsed posts speak numbers about how lonely and pathetic you must be to get entertained doing this
It probably seems counter productive for me to write this, because posting genuinely makes me angry. It seems like it's near impossible to have a genuine discussion on this board without some wit chiming in to say something stupid like "fresh " or "new fresh off the boat from facebook or reddit detected".
I know that this will probably get a bunch of you stupid s replying to me calling me the "autistic" one for actually speaking up, because I genuinely want to have a discussion about something instead of being barraged with re ed responses that will no doubt have me reply to you about your stupid pointless comments.
Moderation is largely pointless because you all seem to use dynamic ips anyway so no matter what you'll continue your posting like it's some normal part of your everyday life.
The fact that anyone ever calls you out on your bull and you try and defend it, or continue replying in a posting fashion is childish as considering most of you on here are at least 18-30 years old.
all your posting antics. Kill yourselves. You're not funny, or witty, or original, or entertaining. You're literally all rehashes of one another trying to be unique and funny, when you're all doing the same thing. Your pathetic "lives" while you sit here day in and day out posting are being wasted away because you find it hilarious to get people worked up 24/7. It's like you s are addicted to posting. Like you get a dopamine response from it or something.
Rant over s. off.
Oh, , here we go. Go ahead OP... bite. I dare you.
I have a VERY hard time that Pop, or any professional, would have that kind of discussion about a specific person in public. I can believe someone may have told you the story, but not so much that Pop is broadcasting specific personnel concerns in a restaurant. Not only that, but there was nothing about Aldridge's performance that would lead a knowledgeable person to make that comment. Throw in the fact that the Spurs (and Pop) didn't make the decision to sign him in a vacuum. , Pop has coached against him for years. If there was any chance that he "doesn't get it", he wouldn't have gotten a max contract, and the team wouldn't have shipped off Tiago.
If the person who told you didn't totally make it up, it could be one of Pop's sarcastic remarks. Someone questioned him about Aldridge, and he's commenting about what an idiot question it was, not on LMA. Maybe that. Maybe.
He threw in Eastern Europe and Russian so you know its true.
Yeah. Pop's not evaluating player performance in public.
I appreciate you not menstruating on this post like some of the other people in this thread. I agree, Pop is not likely to say anything about personnel in a crowded restaurant where just anyone can over hear his conversation.
When Pop and Tony or any other Spur dines there (which they do often), they get private tables and no one bothers them - which is why they are repeat customers. It's a place to have a meal, have a drink and unwind AFTER games. What's funny is that I've been told much more tabloid-like stuff about Spurs players and coaches that have nothing to do with basketball, but I've never put it in this forum. None of that stuff is about wins and losses.
And yes - I'm well aware that I said their tables are private. But how did my friend hear those things? It's not rocket surgery folks, figure it out. Back in 2012, this same friend told me the real reason SJax was let go right before the playoffs began. That's the last time I ever shared anything remotely similar to this post.
pop wasn't there that day.
Damn, life got you down? That was some sad, sad you wrote there. The fact that ty posts (of which mine should not have been included) get you so worked up is a little troubling don't you think? 16,000+ posts? Maybe you should back away from the computer or phone and take a break from the forum. If you had taken just a minute to look at my previous posts, you'd know I don't waste anyone's time with click-bait threads. Nor do I reply to many of them.
OP is actually a pretty credible poster... shame to see a bunch of dumbasses making themselves look like divas.
tmtsc is a good poster, i remember his Jackson/Duncan thread. I suppose it's possible he's making this stuff it up but I'll give him benefit of the doubt. Both situations seem credible, especially since Pop hasn't dealt with a free agent like LMA before. He's sort of in Phil Jackson territory, but I don't think he'll need to rely on mind games , i'm sure Duncan and Manu will help make it work.
Can't even believe this thread is on page 1
Can someone link me to this Jackson/Duncan thread? I've always wanted to know the reason we cut Sjax right before the playoffs. Can you give me the scoop OP?
Interesting.... El Nono seems to have backed up the OP also. There's likely some truth in this rumor.
Just watching LMA on the court and you just wonder if he's engaged.
I just get the feeling here that LMA is beginning to realize that he's not going to score much being a Spur and that may be bothering him.
I wonder if the Bulls announcement that they are willing to trade both Gasol and Noah has anything to do with this?
All the more interesting considering this poster from official NBA sources:

I guess after that 6 point performance against the Blazers (that went into OT), any coach would be going ballistic given that he's getting paid 20 million a year.
I think if you compare him with the kind of improvements Leonard has made, you have to begin questioning his commitment to improving. Let's be perfectly honest, he came in overweight at the start of the season.
lol Gossip Girls.
Intelligence 101, don't be so easy to dismiss rumors that sound outrageous when the source has prior track record.
Track record of what?
Such is the problem when you set the bar really though.
I don't doubt that there are some questions regarding LMAs effort and grasp of the system. I do have a hard time believing that Pop is exasperated at this point though. OP suggests as much but we cannot forget that is December. Let's revisit this in March when it's more believable.
Say instead of an NBA player, you had a typical job where you were guaranteed to get maximum pay for your type of work (equivalent of a max contract) as say a lawyer, consultant, banker, whatever.
Would you rather take the job that forced you to work 70 hours a week but where you were had the lead role on every assignment, but when it came down to it your company wasn't selected in the end for the proposal?
Or would you take the employer who pushed you 50 hours a week with some early Fridays, where you like your coworkers but not always front and center, and where your company had a chance at winning each time it pitched for business? Also, this company is located closer to your family / college town but away from where you spent the last seven years.
Not to mention your career at the first place would be cut short because of the stress, so less potential earning years.
