Because Pop never gets called out!

[offset formation]

OP was advocating for the Hill / Kawhi trade before anybody knew how to pronounce Kawhi

He's a legend

You should read what he writes as gospel

All ya need to know is that he fantasized a incestuous fling with his aunt.

He needs a psych ward.

Op is balding at 22. He's mad at the world

you must be re ed or something because he routinely gets called out on ST

You guys are acting like Pop doesn't do weird things withe the lineups/rotations early in the year EVERY year. We are 2nd place in the West with only 4 loses. Everything will be fine. And Pop is not a closet bigot lmao!

For all the praise that SA gets for their draft, the poor drafting since 12 has really started to bite them in the ass

2012 - used the 1st rounder to get rid of Jefferson's albatross contract. Value was good at the time and it's unfortunate that that 2012 had so much value in 2nd round (Dray Green, Khris Middleton, Will Barton, Jae Crowder, Kyle O'Quinn). Sacramento sold their pick for cash in the draft (36th). Wouldn't be a bad idea for SA to buy it since they lacked a 1st rounder. Any of those guys would have helped the team immensely now.

2013 - Utah Jazz steals Rudy Gobert just in front of the Spurs face with a 2nd round pick + cash. SA settles for mediocrity and wastes a 1st rounder on a tweener F bust who got waived without playing a single minute for the team. Dude isn't even a difference maker in the D-League, which is a laughable for a 1st rounder.
2014 - The only draft in the past 5 years that SA should have been SA drafting the Euro guy (Jokic) and they draft the least athletic player of the last 20 years in the draft (Kyle Anderson).
2015 - Tyus Jones drafted 2 picks ahead when SA was desperate for a PG prospect, but they settle down for mediocrity drafting a C Euro prospect without much upside. His numbers in Europe are not encouraging at all, even though he at least plays for a top European team.
2016 - Not mad at the Murray pick (I wanted McCaw), but he can't help SA for the next 3 years while TP's corpse is breaking down. Not only that, but SA settles for Manu's expensive corpse, Mills (a 5'11 SG) and Laprovitolla (rofl) as their main facilitators for the season. Simply cringe worthy.

So, with a better job in the draft and just a bit of more aggressiveness, SA could have ended with Khris Middleton, Rudy Gobert, Nikola Jokic, Tyus Jones and Pat McCaw. Instead, we ended up with Jackson's ing corpse and no picks, Livio Jean Charles, Kyle Anderson, Milutinov's rights and Murray.

I know that with hindsight everything is easier, but the SA was flat out terrible in the past few drafts and i'm positive that all the picks had the finger of the stubborn senile old man. ing product of Tim Duncan.

All in all, it's bad. 2012 is the worst, TBH and 2014.

I'm sorry, but how is Pop a " "?

[bklynspursfan]

We played terrible against Orlando in November.
Bad losses happen all the time, and we shouldn't expect this team to be great every single night they play.

TP had a poor game after a nice stretch of solid play. This is to be expected at his age. If he plays how he was playing previously, we are a pretty good ball club

Manu is in a funk, but this is sort of who Manu has been. Hopefully Simmons can continue his strong/smarter play so Manu can be that guy who is more of a spot up 3 point shooter.

Pop is still observing, this is a new experience. We don't know just how hard he's coaching them in practice or behind the scenes. For folks to think they know better than Pop or enjoy coaching on here, I just find it comical. The guy my be stuck in his ways a bit, but he's been successful in this league. So....

Anyway, these first few months are used to tinker with the lineups and see who deserves playing time and who doesn't. Most Spurs fans always felt the season starts during the rodeo road trip, and that's when we get a great feel for this team. Bad games happen... I don't get why people don't see this. And if we've struggled and won games, that's even better. Lots of room to improve, with the 2nd best record in the west.

OP, ladies and gentlemen.

the casual fans that think Duncan was aided by Pop's "system"

[Play Boban]

Don't forget about Pop's racism, too. It's sad that an otherwise classy, professional franchise would just ignore their coach's plantation-master mentality.

TRUTH BOMB.

Lot if them.
