I coulldn't watch the game, what did he do?
That he pulled tonight is totally irresponsible. That wasn't good coaching, that wasn't smart, that wasn't anything positive.
That was just a childish tantrum, an emotional move powered by his untouchability and inflated ego.
No other coach in the league would have been able to get away with that. That was easily the worst coaching decision I've seen in quite a while, but we all know he won't get called for it.
His guys are busting his balls out there and he pulls a like that. Who's in charge of benching Pop when he's ing the Spurs up like that?
I coulldn't watch the game, what did he do?
He's thrown playoff games before, tbh... we'll see if somebody other than Timmy can save his bacon...
Skip Bayless is the only person that calls him out in the mainstream media.
Can't wait till our beat writers throw him a vanilla question like, "How important is it when Green is hitting his 3's?
We were looking like . And gave up 10 points in the first 2 minutes tbh
It wasnt a good move but we didnt lose the game because of it
He benched all the starters a minute into the 3rd when things went south
I also remember Pop losing us Game 5 of the WCF against OKC in both 2012 and 2016.
It looks like you just held him accountable with that chewing out. Do you feel better now?
I would feel better if I was able to tell all this to his face.
Coincidence that Manu is benched and this thread "Pops" up? Hmmmmm.
I get benching all the starters but not kawhi...
Just a caricature of himself at this point. I wouldn't oppose a Pop retirement now.
Yeah, you sure know me well.
Do you wanna bet Manu would be in at around the 5 minute mark on the next game?
I nominate you. Let him know your thoughts. I'm sure he'd appreciate hearing your point of view.
I already said that Manu will play next game. What does that have to do with the Pop thread when he benched Manu?
That you somehow think this thread is about Manu when I couldn't give less of a . I'm just calling out Pop on a pretty horrible coaching job and his hypocrite "get over yourself" speech.
Give me a way to contact him, I have no problem to let him have it, tbh. I'm not afraid of him, unlike the US sports media.
If only he had a twitter account. I would love to get blocked for a good cause.
I swear when he retires, whomever comes in is gonna start killing. Him and Larry Brown are 2 of the most over coaching sum es I've ever seen in my life. What in the . You're gonna take your best players out of the ing game in the ign 3rd quarter just to prove you're in charge? Who the does that in a playoff game?
Poop called that timeout to feed his own ego. He called that timeout to show that HE is the star of this team, not the players, who can be benched at any moment without reason. He told them to get over themselves while he simultaneously inflated his own ego. WHTA A HYPOCRITE! This guy can't get fired soon enough!
Simmons making a case for more time. I'd love to see it . . .
A female I know told me last week, "Popovoch looks like he doesn't even care anymore or wants to be at the games.."
They were only Down 9 with 10 minutes to go in the third.
I know Kawhi wasn't too happy with his decision. Guy basically called it quits after that sub. Every Starter including Pau just gave up.
And you can't tell me they didnt compete. I thought they competed really well in the first half.
