Spurs on a groove taking the game back and Pop decided to hack Simmons

Poor performance from Pop, tbh...

[Robz4000]

So? He's a 54% FT shooter and shooting under pressure is different.

Had Philly hit 2 3's , the ing would've been about defense. They scored 3 points total. It was still tied, and we didn't execute on the other end. We were still in control

So the what? He hit them tonight, and we've lost playoff series' in the past because of Pop pulling this .

Incredible stroking of the displayed here

When you're up by 2 late, you don't give the opposing team a free chance to tie the game. No, you put actual trust in your defense.

4 seconds to foul?

Play ing defense for one possession and those noobs would've laid down and died.

[SAGirl]

sucks... heartbreaker... I thought anyways they weren't going to win it, but to spend this much energy getting it this close... There were guys that only showed up to a couple of quarters anyways. And guys like Hilliard should not have played since White is playing better....

Still the the few who played were probably very tired at the end. Pop and the team were battling the refs too. On to the next one.

Almost like the guy was in a rhythm from the free throw line, basically meaning that his season ft% means jack .

Yea. Well, like I said we still had our chances to keep the lead on offense.

43 FT attempts by Philly

[TheGreatYacht]

Great effort from LA, Patty, and Forbes.

Sucks Poop and Fathead's entry passes happened.

KGB Poop

Just like players have bad nights, so do coaches and Pop had a bad night tonight, making the worst coaching decision of the season tonight.

[Robz4000]

Pop can't keep getting away with this , can he?

[NASpurs]

instant loss when you get the time wrong in the OP. It never fails.

That they were. Still had a shot to steal it, but some of those calls made it tough. Plus giving up timely offensive rebounds

Pop's done more bad than good this season, and it's been that way for a few seasons now.

[Chinook]

At least I've got Simmons on both my fantasy teams.

[NASpurs]

When's the last time the Spurs were below .500 on the road almost halfway through the season?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pop needs to stop resting half the team every night. Their chemistry is off as well.

Since LMA isn't afraid to vocally whine about touches, I wish he'd criticize the Hack-A- in an interview.

These ing re s continue to over BatManu's streak and they always botch the threads from the beginning
