It’s pretty obvious.
I mean Bucks actually resemble how we used to attack patiently and emphasized spacing. Also they defend with grit and discilpline.
Evern since Bud left our offense looks like clogged toilet with emphasiz on 17 ft terrible shots.

We won a ring the year after he left.
The Wallowing
no
tbh
For all the Bucks' new school offense hype and all the Spurs' behind the times midrange jumpers moaning, both teams scored close to the same number of points per 100 possessions.
People forget Bud made the call on Kawhi. Thank ing God.
I've always been a Bud fan. Want him when Pop retires but that's not happening anymore.
Pop adjusted our offense to emphasize midrange shooting for two reasons:
1. That's LMA and DeRozan's biggest strength, so he was adapting the offense to fit the personnel.
2. Modern NBA defenses emphasize defending layups and 3-pt shots, so he felt that shooting midrange shots was a way to counter that.
Spurs won 67 games in 2016
you think Pop will never retire? It will only seem that way to the haters.I've always been a Bud fan. Want him when Pop retires but that's not happening anymore.
Well, our personnel and the Bucks personnel are a little different....
Tim Duncan was the real coach, Pop just implemented what him and Parker wanted. Pop is good at getting role players to overachieve but that too depends on stars. But again, put the Spurs in the East and watch the magic. Bud didn't exactly turn the Hawks into winners, and giannis doesn't need coaching.
Obviously. Anyone who disagrees has severe autism and shouldn't spend time on the Internet unsupervised.
Budenholzer has won two CotY awards since he left and has risen the Hawks (before they tanked) and Bucks to new heights as soon as he got there. He elevates role players like Middleton, Teague, Korver into playing like all stars. He saves the careers of journeymen like Lopez and Hill who both got let go by the two worst teams in the NBA. His best two players Giannis and Bledsoe can't shoot the 3 for , but his system is 2nd in 3PA.... whereas Pop's Scott Brooks esque system ranks from 28-30th in that category every year.
It's a joke that people are giving Pop the credit for 2014 when it was very clear it was what was left of Bud's beautiful game and the players' hunger that rang that year. It has become the norm for Pop to take all the credit and then blame the roster for the failings. Lebron-esque.
Budenholzer vs Kawhi in the ECF
Two guys who never got enough credit until they left Pop's plantation going head to head. Hope the 14 other Craptors show up so we can see this.
No he wasn't, he was an assistant FYI
What a classic conspiracy theory. So, on the one hand Pop is too domineering... but on the other, Budenholzer was secretly engineering everything behind the scenes?
Yes.
And the team offense, despite losing it’s starting PG and having to implement four new players into the starting lineup, finished 7th in the league in ORtg (points per 100 possessions) ... basically tied with Toronto and Denver, and within a point of Milwaukee. Complain about the long twos all you want, but they led the league in lowest TO% and tops in FT% and 3PT% too. Offense just didn’t generate enough of the latter two.
Issue was defense, which was 19th. And if you watched the playoffs, until game 7, that was also the issue. Built leads and couldn’t hold them with porous defense. That’s what happens when you lose three All NBA defenders. The two things that stick out are poor forced turnover rate and a lot of threes shot against.
Offense should be about the same to marginally better next year as the pieces gel, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the defense jumps close to the top 10, if not into the top 10.
I don't see any team making the playoffs the last few season considering what happened to the Spurs. Losing TD. Losing Leonard all year. Losing Leonard altogether.
EDIT*
BTW, Spurs lost 4 starters from last year. Gasol, Murray, Leonard, Green.
Go BUCKS GOOOOOOLLOOOLLLL
THE BUCKS WILL WIN THE NBA LE
Clearly he was wrong...
Pop assembled the roster
Nuggets had the best record in the west despite being the youngest team ever to be in the playoffs at this point, and their only all star was drafted in the second round...
Clippers made the playoffs despite their entire roster being ... If pop made the playoffs wid the clippers roster, we would be calling him the best ever... Pop has TWO all stars and made the 7th seed... That should be bare minimum tbh
Ya, Pop has done a great job(as a coach, not as president) the past 2 seasons, but I don't know why he gets praised for this when several other coaches had similar success with a limited roster during that time
Rivers took a team that was projected to win 33 games and got them to the playoffs and compe ive against the Warriors, for example..
