Is Greg Popvich Basketball Arsene Wenger..

Quite the contrary, I was serious as . So I take it that you are not interested in any of these fantastic deals...! Your loss will be somebody else's gain. However, only 9 posts using your new alias has not helped you get any smarter than with your old alias. Have fun playing your little video war games 24/7 in your parents basement or attic. Not sure which they grounded you to. Just wait until they find out you hooked up to your neighbor's cable service.......illegally! Have a good one, kiddo.

You should get back in the hospital as soon as possible. If the medical services failed to do their job, do yourself a favor and lock yourself up to the hospital bed. Old alias? Video games? Parents basement? Neighbor's cable? Yes, just throw a bunch of stereotypical insults to make yourself look smart and hope at keast one finds the target. Guess what, you are 0 for 4, which corresponds to your attempts at successful erections in the past decade.

The are you talking about? Horace Grant was a decent roleplayer? ROFL Horace Grant was an all-star and a 4x all-defensive team player. Talking about people will laugh at me bringing him up. Dude, it's blatantly obvious from you saying that, that you know jack about the NBA. Pipe down, take notes and then speak on the NBA after a few months of note-taking.

Nice of you to give up all the other arguments and stick with Horace Grant hahaha. You know nothing about the NBA, or even the Spurs for that matter, if you are bringing Ron Harper and Kerr as a counterargument for Parker and Ginobili. Ultimately, what really exposes you is genuinely think Duncan is in the same universe as MJ. Nobody outside a little town in Texas thinks so. That should be a clue, you know.

Manager turnover in the EPL is very high. You don't stay with 1 club (in London) for that long as a loser.

Choker is the word i should have used. The Wenger of the NBA is dantoni.

Honestly some Spurs fans on here are just fans. And politically I disagree with Pop on a lot of things but if you can't respect him as a coach or as a human then that's a character flaw on your behalf. Are there younger hungrier coaches out there who are also very good at what they do? Yeah, Brad Stevens is the obviously example but he's not the only one. The guy won his last championship at what 65 years old? And the whole time in between 2007 and 2014 the same fans would talk about him being washed up and no longer a top tier coach or a guy who could coach a championship team. Ya'll on the Patty Mills contract (who is having a better season on the court this year than last year,) but who has also been one of those best bench players in the NBA and one of the leaders on the team. Is it a great deal he's on? No, but it isn't some gross overpay ya'll make it out to be. Character does matter and it has a lot to do with the locker room environment and at ude the players have. Ya'll turn on star players who are new to the team and having a hard time fitting in at times after one bad month or so.

This is an obvious retooling team that started off bad but has gotten somewhat better since and is now dealing with some ups and downs. The team lost all of their good defenders, but on the flip side we have a lot of young talent getting big playing time (Derrick White, Jakob Poeltl, Davis Bertans, Bryn Forbes etc.). All 4 of those guy's stocks have gone up this year, some of them have gone way up. If you can't see the player development and the energy Pop coaches with then you're the disconnected one not the front office.

The Pau Gasol contract is bad. However, he did the team a favor so we could go after Chris Paul. CP3 made his decisions (which might long term end up being the best for this team) and so we did Gasol a solid because when you're a small market team and players do right by you sometimes you have to do right by them. That's how you build a good reputation that's how you get all stars like LMA to want to join your team. But you know some of ya'll are quick to turn on LaMarcus Aldridge too. Plus I think we tried to move Gasol but at this point we couldn't get a return worth our while.

Yes the front office isn't perfect and yes there are some good basketball minds on this board, but some of ya'll who on the front office for every little stupid thing and really think you can do better...give me a break. The negativity is ridiculous, it's not like we're losing to teams we are clearly heads down better than on a daily basis. Teams like Sacramento and Portland have talent and can play good ball and if we're missing one of our best players the odds are we're not going to be the better team that night. Why be a fan of a team when all you're going to do is be negative and on the players and the front office?

About done with my rant, but some of ya'll just want change without considering the consequences. Dante Cunningham isn't a good player, we've established that (although some nights he's playable. When the team is healthy he usually doesn't play much anyways.) But the odds are he's a harder worker and a better guy in the locker room than the fringe trash player you want the team to sign. Omri Casspi hasn't been the most liked by teammates in the past and he doesn't play a lick of defense yet some of ya'll think the front office is inept for not signing him. Corey Brewer is a fringe rotation player on the backside of his career who's never stuck but we're dumb for not signing him too right? The difference between him and Pon is probably very little and Pon knows how to go about things the right way he shows up early to practice and stays late, he puts in the work and is a pro's pro and accepts his role even if it means little minutes.

Second to that

Horace Grant absolutely was better than David Robinson, for longer, when you're talking about David Robinson the teammate of Tim Duncan. As far as the 2 players over their entire careers, of course Robinson blows him out of the water. That isn't what we're talking about. Scottie Pippen, for example, is better than any player Tim Duncan played with his entire career. Dennis Rodman is arguably the greatest defensive player of all-time. Steve Kerr is arguably the greatest 3 point shooter to ever live. Ron Harper was an elite defensive player.

Duncan does a ton of things better than Jordan. He plays INFINITELY better defense and was a thousand times more impactful on the defensive end. People act like Jordan was this flawless player. Couldn't be further from the truth. He couldn't shoot the 3; he had no range. He would take terrible, contested shots and not look for teammates. Speaking of teammates, he was a horrible teammate. He gets away with this because of the apologists who try to spin it as 'being a compe or'. If you're young, think of Tom Brady... remember how the referee threw a flag for just touching his shoulderpad? That was the epitome of the relationship Michael Jordan had with the referees. It's a lot easier to dominate a game if your defender isn't allowed to play defense.

You are joking, right?

No, Monty, I am afraid he isn't. The lack of knowledge on this forum is incredible.

[monty4329]

A substantiative argument, to which I am uncertain of how I could ever respond.

No, it is a question. In english an argument is something else.
And actually, I am giving you the benefit of the doubt. Unless you are serious, in that case you are hopelessly dumb or you never actually watched Jordan and Duncan and Pippen and Grant etc etc.

bloody if you are right

There's also posters with admirable knowledge of basketball, though.

I am sure I will stumble upon a few. But it's mostly infested with Spurs 'fans' who disrespect the coach by using names such as Popo . Must be a 17 year old who wanks on zooporn and only watches basketball on 2k.

[Hoops Czar]

Negative. Arsene Wenger was never considered the "greatest of all-time", not even by his naive fanbase.

[slick'81]

Never watched soccer tbh

[Hoops Czar]

Neither is Popovich.

Pop deserves to go out however he wants, tbh..he's the best coach of all-time, this franchise will never see anybody like him again..

He didn't want to coach a lottery team in his final years and he believed DeRozan would be good enough to ensure that..it looked like a sound plan early on, but you can't blame somebody for mental health issues which have detailed the Spurs..just unfortunate for that + Murray's injury that killed the plan for this season..

Kid, you get triggered way too easily. 13 posts since 2009??? Your other aliases must be 'pinked'. Get over yourself for the sake of your mom's sanity.

Stop looking in the mirror when you hit the keyboard. Now go back down to your parent's basement, open that picnic size bag of orange Cheetos, stick that 2 ft. long plastic straw into that 132 oz. sugar drink and go back to playing your silly, childish video games. See ya, kid.
