I think some of us see tonight's game will not cut it for the entirety of the playoffs.
They choked. I'll take it.
And btw. Fk the regular season record. We need to play better than what we saw tonight.
I do not think Pop has mailed anything in. He was as animated as ever. But the subbing was bizarre.
We gotta be better or Tim won't get close to 6.
I dont think anyone is refering to pops ability to implement the right system. Kawhi become a 21ppg player, and this team became a mix of star power and motion offense. Even mainstream casuals didnt want that to happen.
He's just done when it comes to in game coaching. Hes been so Loose the last two years. Making terrible rotations etc.
Yeah, that's why I posted this before the result of tonight's game was set: has nothing to do with this game particularly, but overall this series and this season as a whole.
I thought his Boris-West schtick was regular season minute burning, or giving Kyle minutes, but now is crunch time and he still pulls this out.
Yeah I thought the same thing reading your post.
These are the same players he's used all year, that gave us one of the best benches in the NBA. It's not the coaches fault these same guys that did so well in the regular season, are underperforming in the playoffs. You can only put LMA and Kawhi in so many times a game. He has to put in and rely on other players during the game. They ain't producing...and that's not on the coach.
It's ok, Parker can coach.
Disappointed no gif yet tbh
Fat guy saying fat guy things... Uggghhhh
You can't say the Mack Brown of coaches, Mack Brown was a coach. He was the Mack Brown coaches.
Still think we can put Boban in to spell Tim and LMA when the Bobo/West combo is being ineffective.
I wouldnt say he is done but those rotations...
ElMexicaNoNo
Put in Boban this series and let him work on the moustache bros, then Pop can be considered goat
ElMexicaNoNowhat's so funny?
good game from your guy Adams, he only let LMA drop 24 on him, crofl
Kawhi won't play +40 minutes game in this series.
He's 6 years younger than LMA and plays 7 minutes less per game than him..Pop's so good at math.
He's not. We got a win.
Ultimately he played his guys. LMA 44 minutes, Kawhi 40, Tony and Danny 35. Those were our best players this game and they got us the win this time.
Can it be Nono you are upset Manu played just 20? I think Pop managed his minutes on account of having to play him again Sunday afternoon and this being a late night game.
The Timmy thing is actually more concerning. He's not scoring, he doesn't do well on switches, he's slow on defense. It's difficult for our team to score when he's in bc he's not scoring inside on the PnR and yet he clogs the lane as bigs can double off him and they don't guard his jumpshot either. I was frustrated by the lack of rim protection and rebounding from Dwest too, and we may be having trouble on that end if TD can't stay on the floor but we won this game with him at less than 14 minutes... these are not the old big 3 anymore.
Diaw, wow! He used to own Ibaka and how low has he fallen in the rotation. He's an enigma at this point.I can't forget how absent he was so often through the season and how he's being invisible here.
Kyle? Really? that's your beef? Just 3 minutes. Nuff said.
yeah, but duncan is having trouble holding the ing ball and hitting layups now
That's 3 minutes too many.
And, tbh, this whole thing goes even before this season. IIRC, he did just as terrible job against the Clippers last playoffs... Mugen get in here
Tell me this if they're eliminated from the playoffs. Until then, please STFU. This type of sycophantic rant is absolutely hilarious. He's utilized talents off the street into valuable parts of the franchise. He consistently takes pressure off of his stars and has gotten Aldridge into the system successfully. This is just crap.
Kyle on Ibaka makes more sense than Kyle on Durant...
leave my Pop alone
As a fan I want nothing more than Pop to prove me wrong, tbh. Posting this after a potential elimination will go as a knee-jerk reaction, and lost in the noise, but this, IMO, could be one of the biggest issues looking forward past this season.
It's not all him, obviously, but 2014 Pop was a super sharp guy (probably in a big part because of what transpired in 2013), even the players pointed it out.
At least that year he worked all year in having an amazing bench, this time around we clearly don't have that, since we have older guys and some guys like Boris that are underperforming. This has been obvious pretty much all season.
OP was almost right when he put in Kyle
He coached a better game in Game 3 but still had some WTF moments at times tbh. It was great to see LMA/KAwhi's minutes in the 40 but Fathead shouldn't see meaningful mins this series.
He should have a massive coaching advantage over Scotty Donovan but it's been largely even so far IMO, which is embarrassing tbh.
Still got games left to prove himself but if you combine the Clippers series last year to the first 3 games of the OKC series, Pop absolutely deserves some criticism...
have to agree here. hear hear
Nice job box.
