Ya he will challenge a play when one of our guys hits a winning shot. He will be like I don’t think he got it off in time
This is a serious thread. Ask a serious question and a Sniffer gives you a serious answer. Please, serious inquiries only.
I'll start with a two-parter:
It's been 7 games, why hasn't Pop challenged a single call yet this season? Will he challenge one all season?
Ya he will challenge a play when one of our guys hits a winning shot. He will be like I don’t think he got it off in time
He will challenge a play that goes against his pupils Kerr,Brown,Bud.
Challenges are beneath a genius like him, tbh.
Good serious responses, tbh.
Two clear plays that could have been challenged tonight: ball going off LMA and Poetl's foul on Bembry's dunk attempt.
Any Sniffer out there willing to throw out if/when they think Pop will challenge a call this season?
Obviously not a sniffer since I've always called out Poop, but to answer your question I think he'll do it on some random, inconsequential play at the end of the game to give the other team a hard time as a joke, and most certainly with his trademark eating grin on his face.
That's actually the most plausible scenario tbh. Well done.
Let's keep the party going tbh -
Why has Demarre Carroll played a total of 11 minutes over 7 games when the Spurs gave him 3 years/21 million this summer?
I'll also add: likely, as dasclicer said, to one of the Kerr/Brown/Bud teams.
I can already see the eating grin and thumbs up to the other bench now as Pop's Spurs trail by 15 with 2 minutes to go.
Damn, I put on my bib and was ready to drop some truth bombs but this was the lame question you came up with with all the other possibilities? You watch dat game tonight?
There has been a total of 23 successful challenges all season long -- or less than one per team. How is challenges an issue right now, tbh, ?
He should have used the challenge on the Derozan travel call. i mean that was the perfect time, big moment later in the fourth on a momentum shifting play. Dude is so ing old and senile he probably doesnt even remember that he can challenge a call.
Tim - this is a serious thread tbh.
From the looks of it, we'll have plenty of opportunities to bump this thread with many, many, more serious questions.
I got one: Why did Poop settle on DumbMar and Jakob ing Poeltl?
That one has actually been answered by the Sniffers a lot tbh.
It was to punish Kawhi and Dennis by sending him to the frozen tundra. The problem was that the RC couldn't even get OG back let alone Siakam and Nephew was able to add a championship to his legacy along the way.
Tim, that’s a question that’ll only be answered in Pop’s memoirs.
"Because it's not fair to the other team. Basketball is a game of mistakes and when the refs make mistakes it reminds us that they're human. To overturn a call by an official is disrespecting the game of basketball and the way it's meant to be played, much like the three pointer. I hate the three pointer. What's next a four pointer? How about we award 5 points for half court shots? It's just not basketball. Get over yourselves.."
“Why have a cancer in the lockerroom when you can have several on the court, tbh.”
Wouldn’t put it past the old man to say exactly that lol
Pop should get COY if this team gets to the playoffs this year tbh.
Interesting. Maybe he should blame the guy who put the team together?
He’s the biggest reason this team is struggling right now
Is there a legit or logical answer as to why pop won't play Murray and white together? The one time he did the defensive backcourt duo got a stop to win the game. What's the hold up? Trying not to give other teams film of the two?
That might be the Sniffer answer tbh
Big Brain Pop not playing his two best young guys at the same time so teams can't scout the 10th seeded Spurs come May.
Hey answer my Brian Wright question lol.
But I’ve been burned on this before but I’ll go ahead: it’s not that challenges are an “issue”. It’s that it seems symbolic of engagement. Look at these rotations. Look at the painfully obvious coaching mistakes. Look at the lifelessness of LMA and the team as a whole (constantly down double digits and no fight).
You don’t buy that challenges by a coach are a sign of engagement? He, like many players, seem to have very little fight left. His only fight is with Lonnie meanwhile I’ve personally never seen a more listless and lack of chemistry Spurs team in the past 20+ years.
There seems to be no accountability (look at LMA effort after a truly boneheaded decision to guarantee his deal early) as evidenced by no call out of LMA Beli or anyone but Lonnie despite completely unacceptable efforts from many.
Just more of waxing poetic with no real leadership right now.
