Pop is nothing without Tim Duncan.
It’s always been Phil. Been saying this forever. Pop cannot get out of his own way. Never coaches to what’s happening in the game in the moment with his lineups. He has a pregame plan and that’s how he coaches the entire game.
Those damn “Chaos Theory” note cards.
Both Phil Jackson and Pop are good but very overrated coaches due to having a constant luxury of superstar talent. That being said I don't think most of you actually think Jackson is better than Pop, you're just really mad over the loss. Understandable but try to see through your temporary hatred.
If Manu hadn't come off the bench almost his entire career Pop might have gone with stretches of Jacque Vaughn, Michael Finley, Ime Udoka perimeters on playoffs games, tbh.
ing forgot about that .Then benches Duncan in the clutch, your leading rebounder and HOFamer, when you need that rebound to close the series and collect the trophey that was being wheeled out
I put this on his loved ones, I could've sworn the team turned it over after every time out in the second half...
Have you guys just started watching the Spurs this year tbh?
Pop has done this countless times in pretty much every series in the last 10 years...
Not playing Beli / Forbes/ Patty together seems like a no-brainer but the old man decided playing Derozan and White more than 32 mins this game would be unfair to the rest of the team....
Coaching 101 that a Mills/Forbes/Beli lineup will get destroyed on defense more times than not. But I guess it's all on the players as usual
Also that tech in a 2-point contest on the road with 3 min to go .
If you are not the adult in the room at that point in the game, you need to GTFO and retire..
lol Spurs would have at least another 2 or 3 championships if it weren't for the stubborn old piece of . At least 2 or 3 more.Have you guys just started watching the Spurs this year tbh?

San Antonio sports media is a lot like the LA sports media. Only vanilla, positive press is allowed. Criticism of the team or front office will result in you being blacklisted by the team.
It's like playing a team of Mugsy Bogues, Spudd Webb, Nate Robinson, Isiah Thomas and some other midget and complain about getting outrebounded.
Yes we did give up 39 pts in the 4th Pop and I'm sure your line ups had nothing to do with it....
Yes I was actually told this by a sports producer of a local station in San Antonio years ago
Pop sucks. Far too mechanical - not recognizing that Gay FN SUCKED and opting to continue to play him was atrocious. Not realizing that Derozan and White needed stay in the game towards the end of the 3rd was unforgivable. He’s too old and too stubborn to do anything to stem the tide. This loss is bad.
Fat ass Jokic played 39 minutes and White played 32 lmao
Trump criticism from Pop coming tomorrow.

Yep. Very pissed.
The lineup Pop starts the 4th with sucks unless they are up 20+, but he refuses to changeCoaching 101 that a Mills/Forbes/Beli lineup will get destroyed on defense more times than not. But I guess it's all on the players as usual
Even worst than game 6 of the 2016 western conference semis vs OKC? Wow, that is bad.
it’s not fair to the other team
What grade do you think Pop's going to get?
B-?
It’s the same things that happened to start the 4th in game 6 of the finals in 2013. ty lineup. Miami immediately cuts a big lead down. Pop calls a timeout...and sends the same lineup out there.
Maybe we’ll get a quick reaction instead so we don’t need to see grades
