It's been more than just one year tbh. His go to move for about 4 years were Manu ISOS.
Parker will get the blame tonight, while Poop will get away free for not benching him. He completely went away from LMAlpha and Kawhi... Them Green/Duncan P&R's![]()
stretching back to Game 7 of the Clippers, dude can't draw an open shot if his life depended on itvirtually every 5 of our 6 losses featured us barfing up an off balanced contested shot..Guys like coach Bud or Stevens has him beat by a mile in this stuff..

Pop has been phoning it in ever since the 2014 le. Wonder if he's letting that idiot Messina draw up plays these days
That last play also looked like it was designed for an LMA threeOld man is ed after 2014 tbh.
Pop needs Bud to draw up some plays.
He's just letting them play, IMO...
You have to wonder how much Pop was secretly hoping for a loss, tbh... dude gets uncomfortable with win streaks
That's pretty lame of an excuse for a coach that has been ing up ever since '14 imho.
lmfao... you guys literally think everything is wrong with this team. It's a miracle we have the 2nd best record in the league. Coach sucks, point guard sucks, power forward sucks, sg sucks (i agree with this one)... etc.
And the players will keep getting discredited because they play with this . All I hear about is his system from casuals who don't watch the Spurs play
He's waived the white flag. And the Spurs beat the Clippers thanks to talent. LMAlpha, Parker, and Kawhi won that game not because of the hacking
It's annoying when they overrate the system tbh![]()
Pop is top 3 coach of all time but he still has his flaws
I feel like he's experiment w/ his plays trying to find one that works for Kawhi/LMA just like the Manu/Tim give & go. He's trying to isolate Kawhi & have LMA spotting up on the corner so Kawhi can kick it out if the big man help. The issue today was that the Rockets loaded up on Kawhi's side & didn't bother guarding Tim so Kawhi had no driving lanes. In this case, he has to move the ball & have a secondary play maker attack from the weakside: could have been Tony
It would probably be better to give Kawhi the ball at the mid-post then clear out so he can either shoot his fade away, jab step & pull up or drive if the defender is riding him. That's basically what the Mavs run for Dirk.
I swear Elnono always has a vanilla excuse under his sleeve.
Late game execution is not all on Pop even though hes been poor for the most part. Its on the players aswell. Particularly, Parker-Leonard-Manu-Tim...Im going to give LMA some slack here since its obvious hes trying to fit in..( he is still ty though) but its basically on the ball handlers. Their reads have been atrocious. Manu is probably the biggest culprit since he plays like hes 25 in late game situations. Parker has the tendency to hero ball and Kawhi is at fault at times for passing up an obvious mismatch/shot.
Its really on the players, but pop isnt really doing anything to fix it.
They look like the Heatles in close game situations except instead of prime Wade you have washed up Manu.![]()
You just agreed with me in the other thread
It's clear we're transitioning from heavy Tony/Manu execution in crunchtime to other guys... LMA, Kawhi, etc... The only way to make it happen is to let them play and do it... Execution is going to suck here or there, growing pains, tbh
Agreed. Pop has been terrible since 5 outside the first 10 or so games this season.
I dont know man..your post sounded so vanilla tbh.
I disagree though. I have yet to see this team do anything to facilitate that fourth quarter transition. Leonard has had great 4 quarter games but its mostly bail out baskets.
Leonard is now at a level of a play that he needs to be held accountable for not calling his own shot but hes in a weird situation playing with 4 HOF. In any team, he deserves to be roasted for allowing role players to do their stuff...again hes in a tough situation. Well see if he supress the egos that control the fourth quarter..Mainly Parker-Manu-TD.
LMA is passive woman. He looks like he will lick a spurs player butthole if one of them orderd him to do it.
Dunno about Tony but it's hard to remember the last time Manu cleared out for a last shot in the 4th...
I thought they looked for Kawhi tonight but execution wise it was all ed up...
I can live with a bunch of Kawhi ISOs in the crunch with the way he was playing tonight, tbh
that last play "drawn" with 6 sec left in half.. a contested Manu heave from 3..no screens no player movement..
Don't want to risk a turnover.
