Udoka. It wouldn't be fair for anyone to just come in and take over when they dont know the system.
Good question - and, hopefully, not too premature. However, I do not believe his successor is on his current staff.

This is why it will be either Brown or Bud.Udoka. It wouldn't be fair for anyone to just come in and take over when they dont know the system.
Spurs being on a nice win streak with the 1 seed in sight is the perfect time to complain about Pop.
Postseason Blakey.
It's all about the postseason.

I'd take Bud back. Dude is working miracles with his Atlanta squad. Let's give him a real organization.
Popgriping is a year round activity for you, fabbsy
No, I don't.
But...
Championship pursuit is a year round activity.
The regular season wins are nice, but no comparison to legit Championships.
You're Casual Fan and there is a place for you too.
Enjoy the regular season.

Oh, he understands it, he just a stealth operative working for the other team a lot of times. See the 2013 Finals, where Riley paid Poop a huge sum of money to blow games 6 and 7.
Don't be re ing.
All that's true but it doesn't make him perfect. He has made a lot of big mistakes in the last two playoffs and most of those mistakes were minute-managing related.
He refused to ride the hot hand with Patty in 2015 PO, didn't play him more minutes, and went to an injured Parker in crucial moments of the series, it didn't work well.
He refused to match Kawhi minutes with KD minutes, Spurs were outplayed by 40 pts per 100 possessions with Kawhi on the bench in the series.
He refused to play LMA more minutes C with one of Bobo/DWest, Spurs got outrebounded by a large margin in the series.
The list is extensive...
Well, if he would have played Kawhi more minutes against Bucks and Suns, Spurs wouldn't have lost those close games.
But Pop thought it was a good idea playing him just 30' when he was shooting over .60 FG% in both games and scoring at will...
Kawhi's minutes were ridiculous in last season's OKC series. I have no idea what goes through Pop's mind. What the was he resting him for when he needed to be on the court for 40 minutes plus. At the very least they needed him to match KD minute for minute. That is inexcusable. I mean, I thought he was resting them during the regular season so that they can play big minutes on the playoffs. Instead, this er costs his team the series by resting them in the playoffs too and following his minute regime. Pop is a poor improviser.
They also don't have the conditioning to perform because they got too much rest and aren't used to it. When Duncan was at his best, he played big minutes. He was used to it, and used to playing well with those minutes.
Game 6 against Miami, why in the was he resting everyone to end and start the 4th quarter and playing a scrub regular season lineup (he trotted out a lineup that I wouldn't have even played in the regular season against the top teams if I were coach) when the Championship was on the line?? Resting players in these situations is re ed (see I can spell it right).

Talking about Suns game again...
The Spurs win in spite of Poop. If Rick Carlisle was the coach of this team, they'd be up five games on the Warriors, believe me.
Big picture.
Could there possibly be an injury-analytics driven reasoning behind minute distribution? If you look around the league there are ACLs and MCLs popping left and right. You don't really see that happen very often with the Spurs. Most of the time the injuries are freak occurrences (broken hands seem to be the new norm). However, I can't remember the last time a Spurs player went down with a serious knee ligament injury. If Kawhi plays less minutes so I never see this happen, so be it. Those types of injuries are truly career altering.
Great question. Great thread contribution. Thanks! You don't post enough.
He likes to mind the team.
but they could've beat the Bucks if they went balls out
Poop isn't worth the poop which come sout of Rick Carlisle.
Neither is your opinion
Kind of The Beautiful Game going to bring us back from 13 down. Fantastic ball movement.
Oops, Cementhead has seen enough.
Stop the ball movement and throw it into Pau.
