Whelp, you wanted him to make in-game adjustments...
In an elimination game. And had plays run for him so he could jack up low percentage threes.
If its close, you just know Wombat will be out there in the 4th Qtr of Game 7. If we need a three to keep the season alive guess who's getting a play drawn up for them? Wombat.

You're right, we should phone the Spurs front office and let them know you should take over as head coach immediately.
I think they want him to keep shooting to get him out of his funk. Unfortunately he's gonna keep shooting those in Game 7
Are you saying this was a good move simply because Pop is the GOAT you fuxking re ? Are you saying the decision is basketball related and not a clear sign of favoritism for his pet?
Pops obsession with him is exactly why an easy sweep turned into a game 7
Law of averages of Manu’s old progression to the mean suggests Patty will hit a three in game 7. No way he finishes the year going 0 for whatever. Who knows maybe that one three is the difference maker like when he won the 2nd game of the year at LA.
Maybe they saw an opportunity to rest White's plantar fasciitis injury, since the game was decided.
To be fair white was made and shook all game
We know. You're fine man.
?
Everyone has been begging Pop to stagger White and DeRozan. Tonight he staggers White and DeRozan and the complaint shifts. Interesting stuff, tbh.
When it was time to put White back in, the game was over.
Let’s just enjoy this win. I get it. But our guys just sent a message. Big statement win. Let’s revisit this when the season ends, be it Saturday or later..
Who cares. The issue isn't that he went 0-7 (or whatever it was) from three. The issue is that Pop obviously has a soft spot for him despite his painfully obvious limitations. He shouldn't have been out there, period. He's inferior to White in every way.
Yeah, so decided that he had all his other big guns out there.
Do you over question Pop?
Man, you really showed your resolve by quitting the Spurs.
Nah bruh. I could see it if he just had Wombat out there to buy a couple possessions to give White a small rest but that clearly wasn't the case. He went as far as to run a play for him despite Wombat being horrible on threes that are on the move/off screens all year long. Despite him being like 0-6 from three at that point in this game.
You're really going to tell me with a straight face that Pop doesn't have a soft spot for him because he's such a great teammate and overall great guy off the court?
Same reason he was just such an ultra- in the postgame interview. They asked him about the effort, and he said, "Why would anybody not come to play? This is the playoffs... nobody is going to come out flat."
Do you think he just didn't notice that HIS ing team came out flat last game, and didn't bring nearly the effort that Denver did? If he can overlook that, maybe he doesn't see what's happening with Mills on the floor. ing Alzheimers.
The game was ing over he was trying to get patty to shoot it off his funk.
TBH. FATHEAD 2.0 Is a smaller version of Anderson.
STFU quitter -
go join kawhitter
lol at the "they were just trying to help Wombat get out of his funk" BS
I could see that for LMA, Demar, Rudy, or even White. But for an overpaid, below average player, who is absolutely worthless on the other end, that should realistically only be seeing 10-15 MPG in this series? GTFO. How about just playing him less instead of trying to get him out of his funk. That'd be a lot better for the team.
An utterly bizarre move, as White had just drained a 3, he's a much better player than Mills, it's an elimination game ffs, the Spurs need to re-inflate White's confidence because his game is critical to the Spurs success, etc, etc.
Denver made an adjustment after game 3 which apparently has stymied White, no doubt. However, it really does seem that Pop has instructed White to not look for his own shot as much since then. If Pop hasn't said that outright, his subs utions/roster management says that loud and clear.
At this point, Pop's micro-mismanagement is a net minus, and the Spurs players just have to be a lot better than their doddering, stumbling coach.
He's done that with Mills and Forbes, and they've had a hard time getting the shot off. I think he'd go with Belli or Gay, tbh.
White started the fourth (with DeRozan on the bench -- staggering, tbh), went out with five minutes to go and the lead ballooned to 20 within two minutes, tbh. Pop has used this rotation before and White would usually go back in with ~3:00 remaining but 'twas over tonight.
Does a wombat shyt in the Outback?
Of course, breh.
Mills is a big part of the offensive flow of the bench unit so drawing up plays for him and encouraging him to shoot within reason is wise. Having Mills take shots will potentially help him catch fire and it's worth gambling a play here and there for that possibility.
The game was over. Knowing that White is playing with a painful injury why not give him as much rest as possible? Besides this was a nice win, so why in the are you so angry? Save your raging hardon for Pop till after the season is.Who cares. The issue isn't that he went 0-7 (or whatever it was) from three. The issue is that Pop obviously has a soft spot for him despite his painfully obvious limitations. He shouldn't have been out there, period. He's inferior to White in every way.
