Pop: “There’s no basketball anymore”

[coachmac87]

It'sweird how some really believe it.

I mean how can you prove that they didn’t?

You’re just assuming just like I am..it takes two to tango and Nephew screwed their leverage...

Like I said this isn’t 2K

It’s true basketball has gotten worse it’s pretty boring can’t even compare to the Bulls or the Lakers and Celtics years. It’s such a soft game compared to what it used to be and for no reason no concussion issues like football

[HarlemHeat37]

He doesn't have to enjoy the game, but if he's gonna continue coaching, he needs to adapt..

This is the same Phil Jackson said before he left his comments were more egregious, since he said the Warriors would never win by relying on 3s, but still, same old man yelling to get off his lawn..

[timtonymanu]

Who held a gun to their head to sign Mills and Gasol to contract extensions ? Or thinking post Achilles Rudy Gay can stay healthy? Guess they couldn’t have done better under those cir stances. I believe in PATFO

[coachmac87]

Kawhi was the sole reason that mediocre roster made the WCF, you absolute tool

They did the best they could hahaha the offseason they had cap they outbid themselves at 12:01am and gave $48M to a Jurassic ostrich. What we're getting a good look at right now is a team that was built to at least be respectable and make the playoffs while Pop rode off into the sunset turn out to be an epic failure. They didn't purposely build this thing to be 12th in the West

But Kawhi was part of the plan and they were more successful against GSW doing than any other team doing so..

Things change when you lose Kawhi for a year and he sabotage the franchise and his value yet they still competed and were in prime position to make noise..

But Kawhi stayed home.


But the Spurs suck which is what you want right? So why you so mad and troll/hate?

[KDKSpurs24]

It’s about that time for Pop..

There's no coaching anymore either.

I agree the game has gotten a little boring. Not really agreeing with pop on everything though. Higher scoring doesn't necessarily mean better games. I actually enjoy defense and hard nosed basketball. Basketball should be a contact sport. The rules and the way the game is played actually makes it hard for teams to have a real rivalry.

you're correct, I disagree when you say "They did the best they could due to the cir stances", the shortcomings of the roster would be there with or without Kawhi, with Kawhi they would only be minimized, as I said, we had more than other teams in situations like this, we got back a top 20 player, logically he needs a bigger support than Kawhi to succeed, so this was about the front office, Mills, Forbes and Marco on the same team and no small forwards would not make sense with Kawhi, Derozan or MJ.

Does bad coaching count? If so, I know where to find it...

[Hoops Czar]

The only reason he was resting players for nationally televised games and dagainst elite compe ion is so he wouldn't hgave been found out sooner. Rest had nothing to do with it.

[K...]

they should restrict three point shots to the last 5 seconds of the shot clock. Make teams run offense or something. I have an even dumber idea of just capping the amount of three point shots per quarter like fouls.

[coachmac87]

This.


That’s why he’s venting. He’s a coach and arguably the best...but launching 3’s isn’t coaching. Which honestly doesn’t allow coaches to impact as much.

[SuperCam]

“You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.”

These old white former great coaches seem to have a trend of embarassing themselves as they spew crap on and off the court on the way out tbh...

[Spurs da champs]

Warriors have been hacking the out of Kawhi with these screens lmao.

They changed the game to appeal to the most corporates and casuals as possible. That gets the TV deals and sponsorships. Ball go in hoop, yay cheer. Drink some beer

[Spurtacular]

The tides are turning and people are opening their eyes now. He's getting a load of hate on twitter and IG for these comments which is the first time it's ever happened. The hate was starting after his salty Kawhi comments and now it's doubled. It's Phil Jackson without Jordan and Kobe all over again

There's a load of gots like you out there, tbh.

[JeffDuncan]

I think Pop has been watching too many Spurs games.

[paperboy77]

Why you so mad???

The hate is strong lol. Xxx is who you admire now?

LMAO! Really ridiculous!

[QUOTE=coachmac87;9618845]Feels like he’s got one foot out the door....

I made a thread a couple years ago saying he’s done after 2020 and it’s starting to really feel that way..

I hope he does not make it that far
I hope he runs against trump and gets his ass handed to him

This is the full quote that I posted yesterday. The underline parts are what I find puzzling about the construction of this roster.

"Now you look at a stat sheet after a game and the first thing you look at is the threes. If you made threes and the other team didn't, you win. You don't even look at the rebounds or the turnovers or how much transition D was involved. You don't even care. That's how much an impact the three-point shot has and it's evidenced by how everybody plays." Gregg Popovich

"The inside game is kaputski," Popovich explained without helping with the spelling.

"You've got to have downhill players, you've got to have people that can penetrate and kick, you've got to have people who can switch, you've got to have big guys who can play little guys," he said.

"These days there's such an emphasis on the three because it's proven to be analytically correct," Popovich Monday offered with what appeared to be a sneer. "Now you look at a stat sheet after a game and the first thing you look at is the threes. If you made threes and the other team didn't, you win. You don't even look at the rebounds or the turnovers or how much transition D was involved. You don't even care. That's how much an impact the three-point shot has and it's evidenced by how everybody plays."

i agree with Pop. The 3 has made the game much less interesting. The NBA won't get rid of it, but their product isn't as good as before imo

[TimDunkem]

Get over it. Adapt, overcome, or die. Seems like Spurs basketball is going to way of option 3.
