cause he was standing next to parker most of the night
Raymond Felton didn't look that fat tonight, tbh... I wonder if a Deron Williams would also rejuvenate with the Spurs...
Seriously now, is Pop for real? Kyle finally has a semi-decent first half and doesn't see the floor until garbage time (and I get the schtick about Kyle, but he was at least good on defense tonight), and then the hack-a-Jordan when we have momentum... I thought he over micromanaged again...

It's very disheartening watching other teams' pick&roll attacks consistently generating looks and space for their shooters, tbh..
This team doesn't even need an All-Star PG, just give them a backup-caliber PG like JJ Barea
Yeah Mind boggling the lack of minutes for Kyle in the second half...He made some terrible calls in the second half. When the spurs made a run and got it back to 6, he subed out Leonard and the lead balloned back to 11 and it killed the momentum.
Also, when Pau was gaining momentum he decides to sit him down. I'm starting to wonder if Pop has a particular belief about benching guys with hot hands or momentum. It's way too often.
Frankly, nobody could guard Paul. Not even Danny or Kawhi. That's really our achilles against this team in particular.
But I don't get Pop's act of hacking when you actually have momentum. I thought he learned from the playoff series, but apparently not.
And ya, not playing Anderson more was a little strange, considering that was one of his best stints of the season, while Simmons played some of the worst basketball I've seen from anybody this season..
Hopefully, Deron gets a buyout...
I don't get what this thread is about. If it's about Williams in a buyout, then it's hard to see with Pop not taking Parker or Mills or Manu out of the rotation and with him being a coach-killer. If it's about Pop making horrible adjustments, that's very true. Kept making the wrong subs utions. Should have put Dedmon in early in the first when it was clear Pau wasn't working and then run PnR with Dedmon and Parker. Instead, he took out Green for Simmons and Kawhi for Anderson. Then he keeps Simmons in for much of the first even though Jonathon was playing awful ball. Then in situational ball, he brings in Murray but doesn't have him play PG when Forbes was active and should have been the guy spotting up at the end of quarters.
Pop doesn't realize how much unplayable are Parker-LMA-Pau together...Or worse, he realizes it and still refuses to make a change.
Very disappointing coaching this season.
Bro, I wasn't even talking about Paul
CP3 is a HOF player and a top 3 PG, it's understandable if you can't stop him..Raymond Felton, though
A bit of everything, tbh... but mostly what I thought was Pop's mismanagement tonight
Yeah, that comment was more than just this game tbh... we just don't have a way to counter him. Can't make him work on the other end anymore, etc...Bro, I wasn't even talking about Paul

Deron Williams is putting up good numbers on a terrible team, please no
Kyle actually looked like a NBA player tonight. I rather have had him out there than Simmmons tonight.
I actually think he did it because he didn't want the clips to run their set play out of the timeout. He didn't do it again and DJ only made 1
Spurs trying to catch them in 4th, Felton gets 3 uncontested layups.
That hack a Jordan came at the worst time. You're down six with momentum and you foul DeAndre and, soon after, put the Clips in the bonus? To me, it was obvious they were going to lose this game then.
With the Clips aggressiveness and putting them in the bonus early, they were bound to maintain the lead for the rest of the game.
" you im the Svengali of the System."
But you get them in the bonus early, and you slow down the game when you were making a run. Play some defense instead..
The Hack-A-Jordan was totally unnecessary, and totally shut down the energy and momentum the team had gained.
Pau Gasol looked lifeless. Jackie Butler-esque. Neither him nor LMA look like they hate losing. LMA is sitting on the bench near the end of the game grinning like a jackass. I want guys that hate losing. DWill used to look like that. But, honestly, he's looked like he's collecting checks the last several years. I admit I haven't watched him that much, but when I have seen him, he hasn't looked like he was pissed off about losing for years.
Maybe that sounds dumb, but I'd really like to see a guy kicking chairs over a night like this, not joking on the sidelines.
Agree. Very often.
Pop makes too hard to get in rhythm for these players.
And it's not only in regular season. Patty was the guy with the hot hand in 2015 playoffs but Pop decided to play an 'injured' Parker more minutes.
Actually I think the elephant in the room is the fact that we're 23-6 and have the best road record in the history of the NBA. But according to Spurstalk we should blow up the team. Please please none of you ever get into front office management.
Completely agree. We know Tony is a compe or but he lost the battle against Father Time a while ago, and Pau already has a few rings, but LMA lack of compe iveness is alarming, imo
