I truly don’t understand Pop. LMa and White are in down 29Last game at home LMA didn’t play down 12
I've stuck through so many heartbreakers and blowouts over the years but this is truly a disgusting display by the coach and "star" players.
LMA and DD are ing losers. I've wanted to believe in them all year but they are what they are. They'll get coddled here though because we're a city that just got spurned by Nephew and that struggles to attract talent.
Pet wombat. Seems like an amazing guy. I genuinely do believe he brings a lot of positive energy to the locker room. He does try really hard and gives it his all on the court but he ing sucks. Should've never been resigned much less to that contract.
Bellinelli. Seriously why was he signed? He was a complete liability in the playoffs in 2014. The team clearly needed defensive wings after losing two all-defense wings to TOR. He had a solid regular season (again) but has shown what he is in the playoffs (again).
Pop is full of himself. He's let the fact that he's the GOAT get to his head. His hockey subs, the arrogance to stick to rotations that obviously aren't working, not playing his supposed best players in critical moment/quarters, neutering his best player's minutes in the ing playoffs because he's a "genius" that invented DNP-rest and he knows best. What other coach does this? Noone. Because noone else has the arrogance that comes with being the GOAT. It's not senility, it's arrogance. I've never thought this but maybe bringing in new blood might be for the best. Ideally, Pop remains president and younger, hungrier, less arrogant coach takes over.
Cherry on top--you have that instagram baller on the sideline laughing as if the team isn't down 30. Probably brainstormng his next instagram baller post..."This ain't happening next year! I got yall! 100 *tongue sticking out emoji*"

Ok goodbye, i expect to not see a comment from you again this season since you quit
Pop would never call out the refs to the media either. Every other damn coach plays that game. And there's only one way to lose: by not playing
I kept the game on just so I could see how badly they lose. I hope for the Nuggets to win by 40 just so Pop realizes how horribly he has done.
pop: win my way or the highway
his the pos that cant get over himself...
when it comes to losing, the spurs are the best at losing in elimination games...
It's really this simple. Spurs aren't going to be a legit contender shooting 18 threes per game. They were last in three-point-attempts this season and first in attempts from 10-16 feet/16-21 feet (midrange). They're way behind trend, basically trying to play smashmouth football in an era of coddled QBs and pass happy offenses. It's not a talent issue, really, it's a systemic one. Chuck or die is the winning formula intoday's NBA.
We need Pop to coach the regular season and somebody else take over in the playoffs.
GTFOH then
We didn't lose this series because of that. Denver is also among the teams that shoot the three the least and they are the second seed.
We lost this series because of Pop and his re ed management of subs utions and timeouts. Otherwise this series probably ends up in a sweep. Pop managed to turn a sweep in our favour into a series loss.
Our offense isn’t the problem. Our TS% was the same as Houston’s. Our defense is beyond awful.
Sooo ... You wouldn't give Pop a B+ for the playoffs?
His ego will blind him to that realization. Not happening. Post game interview: "They hit shots; we didn't."
Spurs only have 1 good perimeter defender![]()
We don't have to be legit contenders to beat one of the weakest, pretender 2nd seeds of all-time though. They were there, ready to die in Game 2 and Pop's arrogance let them off the hook. And if it truly is a systemic issue (still think the ceiling was very high with Nephew who is primarily a midrange guy), that's also on Pop's arrogance. He's basically saying I'm going to zag while you zig because I'm the GOAT and I'm that good.
They scored 90 points. Are you re ed? Of course the offense is the problem. And when you're easy to guard and can't shoot, like the Spurs are, the other team is going to get a lot of opportunities to score easily off of misses.
Dumb roster all around. And it should be clear now that the thought that DJM is going to make a difference next year is just wishful thinking
Denver is about league average on 3s, shooting 6 more attempt than the Spurs. Still a big difference. More importantly, they're in the bottom half of shots from 10-22 feet. The Spurs system is behind the times.
There's also no way they thought White would be as good defensively as he is tbh....
So the front office went into this season after losing Kawhi, Danny, and Fathead on the perimeter by bringing in Beli, Derozan, and giving Forbes a bigger role![]()
Shades of TPark TBH
