Re: Manus play in Game 6. What % blame , if any, do you Pro Poppers put on Pop?

[ChumpDumper]

Plenty of blame to go around.

And Miami was pretty awesome tbh.

[jjktkk]

Pop, Ginobili, about equally. But I look at it as a team loss. Brutal, brutal, loss.

[Agloco]

two missed fts vs how many goofy assed turnovers by GNob?
Not only turns but on D he was getting worked by whoever he guarded.
Then he elbows James who was asleep until that point. Yeah, i really think it was Ginobilis elbow that sparked LeBron going off.
We win by 15+.

Ok. It is what it is though. I question Pop for sitting Duncan especially since Bosh was still out there. Other than that, oh well.

Bottom line is that those two rebounds and two FTs were what ultimately lost us the game. As much as you want to blame Pop for all of it you can't.

[Keepin' it real]

We can all agree Manu sucked beyond sucking last night.

So how about the guy who not only put him in but kept him in?
Also put him back in after he was taken out.

Blame Manu or blame the coach who put and left him in?

Who else does Pop have at his disposal if not Ginobili?
Gary Neal? Please, he's the most hated player on this forum until game 3 of the finals.
Corey Joseph? No.
Nando? No.
Bonner? NO.

It's Ginobili or bust.

I definitely questioned taking Duncan out of the game for those two possessions at the end. Sticking with that line of thought, you go with the horses that got you here. One made free throw and this conversation isn't happening. Pop doesn't shoot those tbh.

I'll question him. The rebound was crucial in that situation and who was the guy with the best rebounding ability? TD. It makes no sense. 3's of offensive rebounds are the hardest to defend against because the defense is scrambling. We saw that happen twice. Pop should know that as a coach.

Lebron kept walking into the paint and laying it up on this face.

Tiago was awful last night. Scratch that. He was awful all Finals.

He was much better defensively earlier in the series. Spoelstra outcoached Pop by forcing him to not play Splitter.
