    so to criticize pop, we're pointing out a segment of a season where we wound up winning our first championship in franchise history?
    That is so way off base and you know it.

    Who gives a about 1999? The man has had a hand in more loses this season than wins not just because of mediocre coaching, but because of the ty roster he assembled.

    Thank LMA that this team isn't a bottom feeder right now.

    Pop has had his hand in a few losses....
    but ... I don't know how this guy came up with these stats... he might be a Lebron and Westbrook fluffer for all I know...

    Owned by daddy rivers yet again. How embarrassing.
    It's time to take him out back.

    Of course the commentators were fondling his nuts all night, raving about his great job keeping the team in the playoffs..like Aldridge is just another ty system player.. Media can't suck him off hard enough, no wonder players don't want to play under that shadow

    He's been brutal this year more than usual. This team is getting outcoached on the regular in closing time and it has less to do with lack of talent/closers. (look at the Celtics last month to see the difference)..

    Pop is lowkey one of the worst last minute coaches in the entire NBA nowadays and wasn't really much of good prac ioner even when he had prime Big 3..

    He was just as bad last year and the year before. The Spurs just had more talent to hide all of his inefficiencies. He's been one of the worst last minute coaches for years.

    - Continuing to allow this archaic bunch to fire mid rangers at will. How they haven't figured out that they need to increase their variance by turning many of these into 3's, is beyond me.
    - Continuing to close games with 2 non shooters, who can't break down the defense either. How difficult is it to split them? The 76ers do this with Simmons and Fultz, 2 far better prospects.
    - Compounding this by having non creator Mills attempt to run P-n-R late, while these 2 non shooters play off ball, leading to the paint being clogged.

    - Forbes guarding Durant for 4 possessions has got to be the dumbest coaching decision I've ever seen.
    - Playing midget guards galore when they're only playing 1 and he's been moved to the bench and inexplicably continuing to play Mills massive minutes vs this team.
    - Repeatedly making panicky, damn near hockey like line changes, when it was obvious what the rotation should have been coming in.
    - Taking a half into game 1 of the playoffs to do what he should have did from game 1 of the season: start Gay and have him run more P-n-R.

    Spurs are like 24th in 3G%, so, maybe not so much.

    We'll see if he makes adjustments..Spurs weren't going to win a road game anyways, the goal is to win 1 at home and call it a season

    Aldridge should be better in game 2, I would hope..

    They aren't even guarding Tony Parker, he can't play another second..

    - Again, not trapping Durant; as if he enjoys watching this puke destroy them repeatedly
    - Not pressing their non PG lineup 94 feet, in the hopes of either speeding them up or forcing turnovers

    Of course they weren't going to win no matter what he does, but that's besides the point. He still needs to provide them with the best possible chance.

    Aldridge was due for regression to the mean. It started 2 games ago. He held on just long enough, along with the help of Ginobili at the end, to get them across the finish line.

    Spurs should save Coach Bud from that Suns owner and bring him back as head coach. Move Poop to front office/special advisor role.

    I don't think I've heard that all season

    I don't know about this season or last season, but the Spurs ranked 10th and 12th in 2015 and 2016 in PP/100 out of timeouts, nothing special..

    Because they don't get paid to bad mouth a 5 time NBA champion coach in the same way they don't bad mouth Tony Parker when he's on the floor. Coaches, like players have a prime and Pop is way past his. He's basically turned into Arsene Wenger 2.0 yet the media personalities still treat him with kid gloves. Don't even get me started on his sanctimonious pre and postgame press conferences where he's just plain obnoxious, rude and condescending unless he's talking politics.

    Coach Popa definitely has some serious mental issues. He is a very angry man who may be having problems at home but, most likely as you can see in his eyes, he is in the early stages of being senile (possibly Alzheimer's) and/or Dementia. His decisions both on the court and off have sometimes been appalling to say the least. He needs to retire as the game has whizzed by him and his feeble, ego driven brain doesn't realize it. He has never gotten over himself. It's time, Pop.

    Yep. He routinely got outcoached by opposing coaches and made idiotic lineup blunders for many, many years now. Seems like more people are finally catching on..
