Heres hoping Whi can start to get the glow and inspire the rest of the team.
Westbrook and KD both on the floor? Time to rest Kawhi and play Anderson-Diaw-West"
Its actually disgusting how bad of a coach Pop is right now. We would honestly be better off with a Scotty Brooks right, at least he'll play his guys and not try to our coach himself.
Shouldn't even see that line-up in the D-League, much less a pivotal Game 5 playoff game..
People have seen that lineup as garbage all year, except for the most important person.
Now that I think about it, Pop is as bad as the ref standing right in front of waiters on the inbounds swallowing the whistle when he elbowed Manu. Not gonna do a damn thing about it.
Straight out of the 2006 Mavs series playbook
I don't get playing a lineup with no offense whatsoever. I mean this is a rookie coach mistake. At least one of Aldridge and Leonard should be on the floor for most of the game. I mean the Spurs don't have 2012 Ginobili or 2015 Duncan anymore.
Pop routinely gets out coached by scrub coaches as the favorite its pretty sad...Avery, Hollins, Rivers, Brooks, and now rookie coach Billy ing Donovan
I love Pop, but he peaked after 2014. He's trying to find that same magic but it doesn't exist anymore. Players leaked that too year. I think they'll realize after this year time for a new era.
Overcoaching...been saying it since 15.
It's because when he loses, they'll let him moleste them at half court after the game.Pop routinely gets out coached by scrub coaches as the favorite its pretty sad...Avery, Hollins, Rivers, Brooks, and now rookie coach Billy ing Donovan
Pop has too much power. It was good for awhile, but it's become a monster and needs to be hunted down with dogs and slain, hung up in the town center for all to see and mock.
It's funny because Donovan was making this exact same error by subbing Westrbook and Durant out together for a lot of the season.Pop routinely gets out coached by scrub coaches as the favorite its pretty sad...Avery, Hollins, Rivers, Brooks, and now rookie coach Billy ing Donovan
Also, Pop and Mills both suck when they have beards
I said it all season. "I hope we don't see this diaw/west/mills combo during the playoffs". And now he's added Anderson to that lineup. A lineup full of defenseless players that can't score. That er is losing it.
Hey I'm bolded again!

Yet he learned from his mistakes and stopped, Pop is too set in his ways
Pop just experimenting with lineups before the playoffs start, per par.

KA is way too slow for the thunder.
i gave up on him the second he botched that three cover...
Even Billy Donovan adjusted and took a scrub in Cameron Payne out of the rotation. Can't believe Kyle with his -12 self is getting playing time this late in the playoffs
The Suicide Squad
I think this series has one more twist and the Spurs can and will win game 6, like Clippers did last year after losing game 5 at home, however, it's true that Pop has done no adjustments and even tweaks throughout the series, which is not his usual self. He's been much more prone to overcoaching and overreacting, chaning starting line-ups, etc. when things don't go well, but not sure what he's been up to this time, perhaps he was overconfident. The only difference I saw was that he used Parker and Patty more on Westboork, supposedly to save Kawhi some energy but it didn't work.
He doesn't owe playing time to West for taking a paycut and neither does he owe playing time to 2016 playoffs Duncan. He should put Duncan on the bench and start Diaw, he should completely abandon the West-Diaw combo, he should try Kyle or Kawhi at the 4, even Boban for a stretch to see what he can do against their bench bigs. He should try Manu at point and Martin to stretch the floor when they have Robertson or Foye on. Not sure why he's doing little.
The Spurs are the better team and they've surely messed it up and it's their fault but the refs have really helped OKC in pivotal moments in these 2 road wins though. At one point the Thunder had 20 FT's to Spur's 5 or so when the Spurs had scored twice as many points in the paint, that's ridiculous. I'm pretty sure they'll make it up for the Spurs in OKC if the game is close.
Pop apparently thinks it's 2006 & was calling crunch time plays for Porker.
