Pop scapegoating David Lee is his most embarrassing moment...Watch this..

[GSH]

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?

Well if you're playing devil's advocate, I'm going to play... something else.

We're talking about having a 6'6" guy playing center in the damn playoffs. And Pop HASN'T been doing that for years. He tried to force West into being a C last year. How did that work out for him? You can say that Pop is limited by the players he has on the roster. Some of that is his own fault. None of it is David Lee's fault. He's the same player he has been for his whole career. A little older, but still does mostly the same things.

"Think twice" is something related to deciding to do something. You used it to mean not thinking about it at all.

Nope he thought about it and decided not to change. He wont think twice about it

I was referring to his demeanor and yelling at his players. He wont change that

not think twice
​
C1 to do something immediately, without considering if it is a good idea:
They didn't think twice about laying off hundreds of employees.


The"decided" would be the 2nd "think". If he thought about it, and didn't think again, he would have done it. So he did think twice.

Oh, , I missed it. Yeah, he's been doing that for years. OMG - there was a time when he yelled at Danny for everything that went wrong on the court. It was almost comical at times.

LOL... I just didn't realize that's how he won 5 Championships. All these years, and it was right under my nose. My whole Tim Duncan theory just got shot to , I guess.

[SnakeBoy]

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?

Pop rips into a player to send a message to the whole team. He only does it to guys he knows are emotionally strong enough to take it.

[Dingle Barry]

Pop knows LMA's heart would burst if he ever raised his voice at LMA.

[polandprzem]

Hehe Get your ass out is funny...

Let's see if Pop gonna start somebody else then Lee. I highly doubt that. If LMA still gonna be outlayed by guards inside I'd rather see Ded Lee combo there.

[TampaDude]

Can't go to Timmy anymore, Pop...time to hang it up.

[JFK]

What media member will have the guts to ask Pop about LMA and actually hold him accountable to a real answer?

Don Harris, oh wait..

[Brazil]

Tony Parker 2002-2004 was basicallypops punching bag...

It lasted more than 2 years tbh...

[PopTheGOAT]

Put in a position to fail, then when he does, yell at him. Genius Pop. David Lee isn't the the guy to start vs HOU, it's Dedmon. I don't know if it could be more obvious, tbh. But Dedmon got 2 techs He can't play in Gm 2 so he can learn his lesson

I think Pop said "Sit your ass down". He didn't want Lee to switch on the play. You can see him saying "That's not your job" at the end of his tirade. For him to be that pissed - you have to believe its been a repeated mistake. I think Lee did the same thing later in the game and when he switched, the guy he was supposed to stay with got a dunk out of it.

[bklynspursfan]

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

Exactly

We're talking about having a 6'6" guy playing center in the damn playoffs. My guess was 6'5. And Pop HASN'T been doing that for years. He tried to force West into being a C last year. How did that work out for him? You can say that Pop is limited by the players he has on the roster. Some of that is his own fault. None of it is David Lee's fault.

I met david lee at a bar in gainesville back in 2004. He seriously is no taller than 6'6. I have a relative who is a legit 6'11. But he downplays it and says he is 6'7. Guess his height embarasses him. He makes david lee look like isiah thomas.

David lee is an inch taller than I am. He has no business playing center.

He clearly wasn't executing what the plan was.
