Lee sucks but it almost felt like Pop wanted him to fail so bad.
This is sad, tbh.. The guy has definitely lost the plot; he is shook and panicked...
Just curious why has he never shown this fire trying to coach up the biggest p***y on the team? why does he never tear into Laramarcus Garbidge like he does when the Big3, Kawhi and Green are stinking it up ? Why this kid gloves treatment for a career loser?

Bonner gave LMA Pop's sextape before he retired
Can you imagine how Shook Anderson-Simmons and any other young new player?
Green sucks now but man you gotta give him credit for succeeding and not letting all the Pop tirade get into his head. Guys, like Simmons and Anderson are probably too scared to even play.
I hope Murray survives the Pop onslaught.
Kawhi survived, but Poop has always treated him like A manu, 30 year old parker and Duncan.
Makes you appreciate Tony Parker for surviving all those years with Pop.
Tony Parker 2002-2004 was basicallypops punching bag...
Like that Washington post article said criticizing pop "blaming lee for defensive miscues is like giving a kid a cookie and blaming him for eating it"

It is just weird man..You could feel it, in-game or in interviews, Pop is literally walking on eggs s when it comes to dealing with the most under-performing player on the team: No eye contact, mincing his words, subject-evading retorts etc..It is the elephant in the room; Pop has failed to get into this dude--not that I'm pinning any big hopes on him in the first place..
Pop is done TBH. Beyond done. That was just straight up disrespectful to David Lee.
My (hopeful) thinking is, PATFO palns on shopping him and don't want to bring much attention to his under performing.
I'm just surprised Poop's racist ass actually yelled at a white American player. I can only imagine how he'd have treated Lee if he was black.
Pop not yelling
St posters : poop is probably thinking about politics, you know things more important than just a game
Pop yells at players for defensive lapses
St posters : that's just disrespectful, he's done
It was 15-6. Lee failed to close out on Harden in the corner!!!!
You gotta run these ers off the line and make them make plays..
You can say a lot of things about Pop, but not this.
What media member will have the guts to ask Pop about LMA and actually hold him accountable to a real answer?
Lee was on him tight, he just put his arm down for a second and it was all Harden needed.
Meanwhile, Aldridge was giving it up at both ends easier than a virgin on prom night.
Pop's an asshole - I guess he faulted Lee for not being able to guard his man and Aldridge's.
No he faulted Lee because he didn't close out on the corner 3...that's a must.
Westbrook never contests 3s and he's going to win an MVP.
He's also out in the first round.
I commented on it in the game thread. Screaming at Lee like that, after all these years saying he expects these guys to be professionals. After sticking Bertans in his doghouse for being emotional. Even calling out fans because he doesn't like the way they think or act. He ought to bench himself for that dumb stunt.
Lee doesn't suck. He's not a center. He's not cut out to be a defensive anchor in the middle. He's damn good for what he is. Pop just tried to force him into a role he isn't suited for.Lee sucks but it almost felt like Pop wanted him to fail so bad.
Not to be a broken record, but I said this was going to happen the day they signed Lee, and I took a whole bunch of for it. I like the guy. I'm even glad he's on the team. But he's not suited for that role. But it's EXACTLY what I said was going to happen, come playoff time. Including Pop forcing him to try and be a true C, just like West/Diaw last year.
And his lack of shooting and the bad spacing is present with him there. a shame really. the playoffs expose all wrinkles and flaws. Pop didn't expose anything on the Rockets. I don't think he took away anything.
West played his whole career at the 4. Pop force him to play the C, and people went ape- crazy about how "bad" he was. Lee played the C for two seasons, with the weak-assed Knicks, when the East was mostly a doormat conference - and they never made the playoffs. In Golden State, he was almost exclusively a PF, and he benefitted a ton from the wide-open game they played there. He's not a C, he's not a C, he's not a ing C. Sticking him in as a center against a playoff-caliber opponent was a recipe for disaster.
Lee would actually look a of a lot better as a PF, with a legit center on the floor with him. Understand why he was the starting C last night, and you'll understand why I said from the beginning that this team was a second-round exit, because they are too weak at the 1 and the 5.
which makes no sense with having spent 15 mill to get Gasol really. At least at the center spot in theory they could be better.
Pop didn't start Lee for most of the RS even when Gasol got injured, there are flaws there and he knows it, so why now? BC Gasol looks like he isn't even trying sometimes, and Dedmon got exposed and he has no tolerance for it.
Maybe they do get it together. I think second round is where things were going to get difficult and it has. I'd still like Spurs to win in 6 as I predicted (or 7) but if they don't, they have no business facing what's next anyways...
None... ever.
So? If not contesting the 3 makes you a bad player, why is Russell MVP?
I will
Play devils advocate here
Pop has been doing this for years. Its worked for him as he has 5 rings, a HOF spot and the reigns for team USA
Why would
He even think twice about changin?
Just so a bunch of fat greasy assholes in a web forum can watch a couple
More games before whaling their fat asses to the nearest beach?
