I don't know how you can get backdoor swept without being out coached.
Pop coaches with fear. Always seems to want to make his players feel that they are inferior in an effort to keep them humble, play with the appropriate amount of fear, then gets his ass handed to him by whatever coach is the flavor of the day. He needs to pump his players up more and stop implying that they aren't that good.
It's not the quality of coach that's he going up against either, if their team is high up in the standings and has a pathetic coach, Pop still finds a way to be out coached every now and then. Instead of going for the throat, for the kill, he seems to around. He needs to DEMAND that his team blow out a short handed team like Miami. He should have been on them to completely dismantle the Heat, instead, the Heat totally embarrass the Spurs. This win will actually give Miami even more confidence (not like they needed it), but it will give them even more confidence.
Pop got totally destroyed psychologically. The Heat did what the Spurs did to them by resting their best two players (two of the best players in the NBA), and still won the game on the Spurs' home floor. That is as total slap.
Putting Bonner out there too was another move. When Bonner passed up that open 3, it slowed down our momentum that we had going. ing useless player Bonner. The bigs on this team are total ing . Pop needs to just let Tim Duncan coach, because he would be absolutely nothing without Tim bailing him out time and time again. Pathetic bigs the Spurs have assembled, and pathetic rotations from Pop.

Bonner. I hope he disappears and never plays again. Spurs need to find a new stretch 4 immediately and have for awhile.
I just said I understand what Pop was doing there and all those uncontested dunks that Leonard was getting was not a coincidence.
Shameful.
Did you forget the way the Heat destroyed the Bulls two years ago. You're not gonna beat Miami if your best player is a point guard.
I don't, he has Jack/Diaw/Splitter on the bench
Durant and Harden were better than any Spurs players + their bigs making all their jump shots + historically poor officiating in game 6..
Yeah, Diaw stripping Paul just two nights ago to seal the Spurs victory is a play Bonner does every game... like today!
What they were doing was obviously not working.
Ok. Lets try to make it to the Finals first.
Let me state the Spurs had other problems much more serious than Bonner... but when you're already playing catchup, there's no need to give the other team advantages...
tbh, if any spurs loss deserve an ST meltdown it's this one
no matter how you spin this ish, spurs lost lebron,wade,chalmers - less heat team
Spurs just weren't there mentally. You can point the finger a million different ways about this or that but that is the 1 and only reason the Spurs lost the game. That's it.
The effort the team gave had zilch to do with it.
same old tired Spurstalk.
Pop semen shield engaged.
Well I think focus and effort go hand in hand. There was none of either.
Not thinking any responsibility for the effort of the team lies with the coach.
Same old tired T Park.
Followed up by a "same old SpursTalk" comment like always
Keep this thread bumped. We're going to need it all week, starting tomorrow.
Of course the effort/focus was poor, but part of that is on the coach, and it was clear that Miami outplayed the Spurs from a basketball standpoint as well, which shouldn't have occurred with their available personnel..especially against a HOF coach..
This. Total ing embarrassment. I hope none of them can sleep.
Pop just said in the postgame that Tiago couldn't score so they played Bonner because the team needed scoring...
?????
That's my point. It takes some pretty good luck to lose four straight games. Coaching was definitely a factor as in the Thunder made adjustments and Pop didn't.
