It’s too bad this is game 7 of the nba finals and not game game 2 of the preseason.
Great block by D-White

Look, it's no secret that White isn't the most confident guy in the world. Even during his Spurs story Pop described him as "unconfident". Not that surprising given his journey to the NBA.POP DID IT
So why is noone acknowledging the fact that instead of helping build his confidence, Pop has done things that have negatively affected it? They bend over backwards to protect psyche of career loser in DeRozan but give a big you to a promising young player.
I know this is preseason but it seems like the Heat can finish anywhere between 3-6 in the East with this versatility and defense. Just depends on their health because they’ve had the worst luck with injuries in the league the last few seasons.
Jesus man again with the missed FTs
ONE (1) POINT AT THE HALF FOR WHITE
AHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA
AHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH AHHAHAHAHAHAHAH
CUT THIS ING LOSERRRRRRR POP!!!!!!
White has the Fultz? He forgot how to play?
Another ridiculous TO by White. He needs to shore this stuff up.
Eh, white can suck it up all he wants in the preseason but dude needs to get over these yips before the season begins
What has Pop done to negatively affect it, other than benching him in Game 7 last year when he obviously didn't come ready to play?
If that's enough to break White's confidence, he ain't gonna survive the NBA. Just because he had a good rookie season doesn't mean he doesn't have to continue to prove that he deserves to be on the floor...and he's looked like so far in the preseason and didn't really stand out with Team USA either despite being gifted a spot.
I like White and want him to succeed...but the coaching staff can't do that for him.
White thinks he is better than he actually is, he is careless with the ball now.
Careful. Some in here think he really deserved that spot.
Yeah, his inability to get by his man one - on - one (weak first - step) and passivity are gonna still be a hindrance. SMDHMaybe White should stop playing like he is afraid to shoot the ball
Oh right...that's Pops fault
We need him to step up and take minutes & PG duties away from Patty. Still looks unsure and uneven with his play.
But, forgot that's all Pop's fault and his really a max - salary player & better than Jamal Murray.
I'm not saying he didn't earn it...but he also got helped by a dozen or so players dropping out late or getting injured.
That's not on White, he made on the most of his opportunity...but let's not act like he outplayed everybody to get there.
His ceiling is Delonte West, tbh.Yeah, his inability to get by his man one - on - one (weak first - step) and passivity are gonna still be a hindrance. SMDH

How about demoting him for a guy that never had as good of a season as he had last season? How about at least not starting him alongside Murray? Not everybody is going to handle being a 6th man like Manu did. Part of being a good leader, and something Pop is really good at, is understanding players' individual personalities. Ego wise, White can handle being a 6th man no problems but confidence wise? How does he not realize that will negatively affect him when he himself describes White as "unconfident"?
White won't struggle like this at all times. Only an idiot would think it would affect him to that extent. I think it's possible that it can impact the player he ultimately becomes though.
Yeah, off.didn't really stand out with Team USA either despite being gifted a spot.
Cause he still hasn't proven to be a consistent threat on offense and Murray has more upside as a starter and player in general.
White is soon going to be 25, if he isn't already, and doesn't have much more development left (even if he's a late bloomer). He needs to be more assertive and aggressive on offense, while you need to stop scapegoating with this bull about it being "Pop's fault."

BTW for the last ing time. The entire team outside of one or two guys didn't come ready to play in Game 7. Still have yet to hear a good explanation for why everyone else except White was allowed to play through it and contribute to the failed second half comeback.
shut up got
I think he's a little more talented than Delonte was. His ceiling is a poor man's Manu but he needs to be more assertive and aggressive on offense. All this passivity is only going to get him benched and the Spurs moving on to the next prospects (Weatherspoon & Walker IV), TBH.
Listen, man. I want White to succeed just like you do, because that is only going to benefit the Spurs and that's really all I care about. But you seem to be putting a lot of eggs in his basket when he really only flashed star potential a few times last season. And the only reason he got that spot last season was because Murray got injured. Wouldn't it also be unfair to demote Murray who has seemingly done everything right, been the more vocal leader, and was the youngest-ever player to be elected to All NBA Defense?
As a professional athlete, your coach saying you are playing "unconfident" should light a fire under your ass...especially when he is still giving you all the opportunities to succeed. It's not like he has stuck White in the doghouse by any means.
Do you think Pop didn't get on Tim or Tony or Manu in the same way? , Pop used to treat Parker like his ing whipping boy, and Parker used it as motivation.
I'm not saying Pop's approach is always perfect, but I also expect White to be able to succeed without being coddled. If not, he is probably not suited for the Spurs and probably won't last long in the league because he isn't going to get any more handouts than the Spurs staff has already given him.
I want White to succeed, but your hard - on for him is beyond ridiculous.
Ah, bricking soft jumpers and down double digits most of the game. There's the current spurs I know
agressive Murray
