    Pop did nothing to change the chemistry of the lineup that was failing...

    The players can't change it...was obvious to everyone in the chat room that changes needed to be made...

    And there was a collective groan after the time out with a minute left when not a single subs uion was made.

    It is on Pop.


    But didn't you know the reason why the chemistry was so bad was because Tim Duncan missed 8 straight shots?


    LOL!

    who should he have put in???

    Udrih? Horry?

    Barry??

    They couldn't hit either.

    THE WHOLE TEAM COULDNT MAKE ANYTHING.

    For christ in sake.


    Um...Pop could've told them to drive the hole.


    Mark my words: the next game, the Spurs will shoot less and drive the hole more.

    Barry played less minutes than his average.

    Parker played more minutes than his average.


    Yeah, I wonder why Glen didn't play more in the 4th?


    Oh yeah, you know why?


    Because Tim Duncan missed 8 straight shots.


    It makes perfect sense now.

    Yeah, it's Pop's fault that no one can hit a shot in the end.
    This is the sole defense of Pop's defenders for three of the last five years in the playoffs, and if tonight's any indication it will be four of six.

    wake up.

    Tpark:

    Put in Glenn Robinson. Run the offense through Barry. And use Manu as something other than a ing weakside spot up shooter.

    Hey here's one for you: if it's all on the players not hitting shots all these fourth quarters of all these playoff collapses, doesn't Pop deserve some blame for getting guys in here who can't shoot?

    Um...we could've used Big Dog more in the 4th quarter, but I guess it was Tim Duncan's 8 missed shots that was the reason why he didn't play more in the 4th.

    Barry played less cause he acted like he didn't want to be out there.

    Glen didn't play more cause Bowen was playing great D on Anthony.

    Parker played more cause he had to guard Boykins and Miller.

    We'll never know...what well know is that Pop stuck with the same lineup that missed 17 shots in a row.

    Manu wasn't driving the whole on that tie-up with Martin. Pay better attention.

    Parker made a bad pass to Nazr in the middle.


    Parker made really bad decisions in this game.

    WTF, that sentance doesn't make sense.

    More Big Dog??

    maybe, probobly so.

    Carmello Anthony was in the game and Bowen was guarding him well, so you take Bowen out put Robinson on him and let Anthony score at will??!?!

    Silly me. All this time I was under the impression that it was the Head Coach who ran the team, made subs utions, drew up and called plays, and kept the players' heads in the game. But it turns out that when your lineup gets eaten alive and your players are clanging three foot shots off the front of the rim and you do nothing at all, the coach shouldn't take any blame... at all. I guess I still have a lot to learn about basketball. I think I'm going to go hit the court now and practice standing in the corner doing nothing and bouncing finger-rolls off front iron, maybe if I practice that enough I can be on the best coached team in the NBA one day.

    Whatever...Barry had 4 assists...he doesn't charge in there and take a ty shot...it's not ing hard to do that...I can do it...

    On top of that he's hit shots late in games all season long and Big Dogg has hit more of them than anyone on the ing team...

    And perhaps if Big Dogg didn't get a DNPCD in the first half he would have been hotter in the second...

    It might have been nice to try somthing else when it was obvious what we were doing wasn't working.



    Glen didn't play more cause Bowen was playing great D on Anthony.

    Parker played more cause he had to guard Boykins and Miller.
    We lost...Pop's lineup choked, it choked for the final 3 minuutes of the game and Pop did not do a ing single thing to change it.

    Um...Boykins is coming off the bench.


    Should've used Beno more.

    Bowen wasn't playing defense on Carmello very much in the 2nd half, he was guarding Andre Miller. Parker was being matched up against Carmello on mismatches.

    Does that help?

    Look people, I don't want Pop fired. I just want him to bring in an offensive coach who can find his way out of a paper bag in the fourth quarter.

    .

    Go back five years. The personnel change, the results don't.

    Bowen was guarding Andre Miller in the 2nd half, which was why Miller was pretty cold in the 2nd half.

    Great statement. I don't think even the Navins defending Pop can say anything about that one.

    Yeah, silly me. This whole time I thought Pop was the guy making the subs utions. I had no idea the reason why Big Dog didn't play more in the 4th was because the Spurs missed 17 straight shots.


    Interesting.

    In sports..confidence is everything..the Nuggets have it..the Spurs dont. Brent Barry and Bruce Bowen are worthless on offense right now..if the Spurs dont crush Denver in the next game its over. Dont blame Pop.

    How would you feel if Denver won the series 4-2?


    Would you be open to Popovich going back to Mgt and letting PJ or someone else coach?

    This loss falls on lack of coaching, not making good subs utions, and the fact that the Spurs missed 17 straight shots but did not bother subs uting someone else in(like Big Dog) to get pts on the board.

    Bull ...the confidence of the team is always the domain of the coach...

    Note...Denver got a new coach and their confidence is sky high...

    It's a coaches job to ensure his team believes in itself...
