How can a team without a lottery pick for 20 years ever have "proper roster construction." Every team in the league has flaws on their roster, buddy. The Spurs have the tools to be at least be compe ive but Pop isn't putting the team or players in a position to succeed.
Stop running with that stupid, contrived narrative ad naseum. Y'all have been saying that stupid since after '14.
I agree that his coaching has been piss poor thus far, though. The lack of experimentation with line ups or rotations is baffling. He needs to stop treating role players like they are mainstays and start really shaking things up.
Which doesn't include throwing Lyles/Murray under the bus by benching them to protect one of the main issues; Bryn Forbes being a starter.
Get your misogynistic bull out of her, man.
She might not be ready to be a NBA head coach but Becky has a great mind for the game. Everyone has heaped praise on her and her knowledge of the sport. She was a PG after all and a very good one.
The problem is the people (Timmy & Hardy) behind her being neophytes, lacking the experience and know how for the job. The loss of Messina & Udoka (who were both labeled "Yes Men" last season by ST) has had an alarming impact.

Wow, I can't believe but I completely and wholeheartedly agree with you.
Also, Murray and White have both been uneven with their play and have underwhelmed. They both need to play better and play together (not sure why Pop insists on not playing them or giving them a minutes distribution ala Tony/Manu) for the team to be better. That is partly on Pop, though, since thinks they can't share court time.
LMA is clearly worse than he was last season so far. Most of the other players' difference in performance quality is pretty lateral, I would say. The thing is that the margin for error is pretty slim with this Spurs team. It was the same last season, but they mostly kept on the good side of said margin whereas they have been on the wrong side of it more often than not this season.
I cant believe you guys actually watch this show.
I want an inside Guy who can protect the Rim all summer
We need that badly, defense is the problem for us and off course Bertans is better than beli.
She can be very smart but we are talking to be the head of a group of men.
Is your wife the head of household?
Why do you want a woman to be the head of a group of men?
I'm not talking about sexist is about roles and we as a men need to be better.
Ok, Boomer.
Forgot that this is the generation of Soy boys.
Ok, Boomer.
We really relied on this season’s team’s success on growth from the young guys and I’ve seen more regression in them so far. White has not had a bad season so far by any means, but I was hoping for more growth in him. Dejounte’s minutes restriction I think keeps him antsy and slows his ability to learn the game (not that I disagree with re-injury caution). Poeltl has appeared to regress and Lonnie isn’t get any burn so the few times he’s out there, he’s kinda just clueless. It’s possible that Pop sees something we don’t and that’s why we’re not seeing much of him but I’d like Lonnie to prove to everyone he’s a wasted pick if he really is. Might as well at this point.
Oh, and defensively capable aren’t committed to defense, and the defensively incapable are. Forbes can’t play defense but you see him out there trying his guts out
I’ve wondered this myself. I wonder if it has to do with his (what appears to be) apathy towards the gameplan. Call me a sniffer, but when the dust has settled, it’s typically hard to actually criticize the results of his decisions no matter how silly or low IQ they seem in the moment. But this year has too many head scratchers. For crying out loud, anyone else could have guarded Bradley Beal. It looked like Forbes was intentionally assigned to him as if he were some kind of stopper. I dunno, I’m stumped this year. I can’t make any sense of what Pop is doing and I’m a “sniffer” through and through.
If he cant remove his personal issues from his coaching then spurs are truly fcked
Assistant coaches gone.
No 2 big lineup.
Murray and White lack of focus.
Forbes new status.
All these cir stances are hurting Spurs defense. Forget about offense. This Spurs team is playing the worst defense of the NBA.
