Pop is gonna throw in the towel soon

The players already have.

[Spurtacular]

wish I could say I was looking forward to next season but knowing LMA/DeRozan/Fatty will be back with Pop coaching just fills me with rage...

Kawhi leaving ed us. This was inevitable. Kawhi.

[Trainwreck2100]

WTF is Pop even preserving White for? You were down 13 and throw in the towel quicker than any other coach, just let him ing play.

he's got 4 fouls

[GreekSpursfan]

We pay Derozan 27m and two more years with the same amount per year. TANK PLS.

[superbigtime]

Jesus how depressing. I thought this team liked each other and drinking coffee and dressing cool. Wtf. Wimps

[DAF86]

Great adjustment Pop. Changing the one lineup that was working for us all series long. That's some top notch, on the fly, coaching manouvering, tbh.

[TimDunkem]

Even if the Spurs were playing good defense (they aren't), the stubbornness of Pop to not allow a higher volume of 3 attempts just not work out statistically. It's a losing strategy. Who cares if you wish the shot doesn't exist, it does, work with it.

Ironic since GS copied his forumla.

Zigging when the league is zagging worked when you had hall of famers. He probably knows it, but his ego won't allow him to abandon "the Spurs way" he created. Trading the losers you just promised a home would look bad.

[TDomination]

So many small time players. Why anyone thought this team had enough fight to make the 2nd round is beyond me.

The small flashes they showed in the regular season and even this series always gave us false hope

[Ron Swanson]

Just waiting for Pop to get ejected now.

[sasaint]

A very animated Pop describing to Messina which wine to order at the after game meal.

[808]

Poetl is the only one who gives a

[daslicer]

according to some minds in spurstalk, White is Manu on steroids

Any young PG/SG that plays good will be anointed as either the next Manu or Parker in here. White's style of play is totally different than Manu. The comparisons were stupid to begin with. I'm sure next year we will have some people in here clamoring how Lonnie is the next Manu.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Team gave up on Pop, not sure if I blame them

Yup. Asshole gave away an easy sweep and possible path to wcf. ing moron

[AusSpur]

Pop done being outcoached by Scotty Brooks in the playoffs, now being outcoached by Malone.

I want to leave this quote for Pop to read one day:


“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

[Dancelot]

wish I could say I was looking forward to next season but knowing LMA/DeRozan/Fatty will be back with Pop coaching just fills me with rage...

Nah dude, LMA is gonna ask for that trade again, I guarantee it...because none of this teams poor play stems from him whatsoever.

[sasaint]

Just waiting for Pop to get ejected now.

The Holts need to eject him.

[Spurs da champs]

Patty is getting murdered out there.

[SpurPadre]

I seriously believe had Manu played this season, he would've started in this series at some point.

[jbspurs]

If only dribbles can win games, Spurs will be number 1

[Raven]

it's also a really bad game to watch

[Shakril]

Mills has no business beeing on the court. He individually has cost the Spurs at least 10 points alone. His Defense is non existent, his offense is more turnover prone than ever and he defintly is not a leader.

[Chomag]

Now they are just getting embarrassed

[Hoops Czar]

Then maybe they should try broadcasting their most compe ive first round series on national TV, tbh.

Define compe iveness.

[skin27]

That’s why regular season matters guys..lol

[ducks]

Pop should have left white in ing liberal
