Buck Harvey gonna get a talking too now.
Or at the very least, the closest thing you can get to an article critical of Pop. Excerpt from Buck Harvey's article:
Popovich is the only other active coach in the top 10. He’s also coached almost 1,500 more games (regular season and postseason) than Kerr, Donovan and Lue combined.
But Popovich lost to Lue the only time he coached against him. Popovich never showed he had any real answer for the 73-win Warriors. And Popovich lost to the Thunder in the postseason after Donovan kept his poise after Game 1, shortened his rotation and adjusted with bigger lineups.
Was Popovich out-coached? A case can be made.
“We know that Pop is an unbelievable coach,” Randy Foye told the New York Times last week. “The ways he draws up plays, the ways he subs, the way he does things. But Billy was pretty much ready for everything the Spurs threw at us. He did an unbelievable job of adjusting and growing, game in and game out.”

Buck Harvey gonna get a talking too now.
Well it was nice knowing you Buck.
If that's criticism, we're ed...
Pop has the biggest ego in the room. He knows he needs to change now that he has a top 2 player in the league. Kawhi needs to get more minutes for more experience and to condition himself for the playoffs.

Haven't read yet, but you get the feeling that the dam has finally broken as far as Pop criticism in basketball public/media sphere..
his last two putrid coaching performances inthe playoffs have put him under the loop..
At least its something.
Its all about himself nowadys. A lot of his cute decision making is aimed at him making him look like hes some sort of a genuis at the expense of the team. Needs to go if he doesnt get over himself and his "system"
I heard a guy called him out once but didn't last long.
Tbh Pop just isn't hungry anymore.
Coach make player miss shot, coach make okc play bad in regular season but good in playoffs, coach make Kawhi too tired in fourth,, coach make mills shoulder die,, coach make Boris bored, coach make lma blow load in game 2, coach make Parker old, coach Duncan's knee. Bad coach, crazy bad
Pop can't practice what he preaches. Only he's allowed to not be over himself.
When ever he feels heat, he plays the "just basketball" card.
He needs to walk away if he doesn't have the fire anymore.
Maybe Harvey is retiring and this is as fearless as a hack gets.
Coach playing West/fathead over Duncan/Kawhi.![]()
The NBA version of Joe Girardi.
Too little and too late tbh. The media spotlight should be on Poop after last year's playoff debacle.
Won't change a thing. Pop preaches getting over yourself but his ego contradicts that completely.
And he always needs a whipping boy during the season to yell at relentlessly just so it looks like he's actually coaching. Can see right through that bull ish.
This year it was Kyle. He was yelling at him late late in game 6 when it was already over. Get over yourself man.![]()
how Tim never beat his ass after pulling him in 6 i'll never know
mfer lost to avery johnson, scott brooks, lional hollins and rookie billy donovan as the higher seed with a painful amount of overcoaching yet sycophantic gots put him as all time great
give Larry Brown, Phil, or Carlisle equal talented roster and poop gets whipped every time
