Easy answer... Because he was never one of the greatest. One of the winningest coaches because he had three future hall of famers but from an X's and O's standpoint, he wouldn't even make the top 100. People continue to call him the greatest either because they don't know basketball or because they want to fit in without getting publicly scrutinized by the Greg Popavich fan club.How can you be one of the greatest and suck in the playoffs? Isn't that definition of Lenny Wilkens?
It's going to be epic watching the greatest takr home the silver or bronze in the Olympics. I wonder what excuses his backers will come up with then.
He's going to go out the way Sloan went out and that's going to be a sad ending to a storied career.
Pop's probably best coached series is the 7th seed win against the Mavs, outside of that, it's been Timmy and Manu leading the organization to championships....
Pop has been the cause of way more series losses than he has wins tbh, that's not really an argument....
I never got his whole thing about wanting to reign in Manu early in his career. Why would you want to stop a beast from going beast mode? And Pop definitely ed up Gm 7 2013. That said, I cannot say how much credit he deserves overall. Tough to say, really.
Pop is the greatest of all-time in terms of versatility, no argument against it..his current senility doesn't change that..
Still a great coach, but man, some of his poor decisions are really baffling
Agree 100%
Overrated like a mother er
How can this old bas get away with white-flagging a playoff games down only 10 at home?
I really wish Aldridge to get into his face to stop this bull about pulling the plug and gluing his best players to the bench when the game is still within reach..
Derrick White should demand a trade tbh. You got mother ers calling him a nobody and a cook, giving all the credit to crater face.
Kawhi all over again. Even gets benched and is often a 4th option.
We know why...
PATFfluffers
He's no PJ who was like 49-0 when winning the first game of a series. You get really nervous in the close series because Pop tends to drop the ball. He can't win the close series. No killer instinct.
I know Phil got more stacked teams, but you always get the feeling that Pop doesn't respond/adjust as well as him in the pressure cooker of the playoffs..He definitely lost more series than he should from favorable positions (2 backdoor sweeps, a couple of 3-2 leads..etc..)
The most infuriating thing about pop and there's a lot, is his stubbornness not to play rookies just cause he thinks they lack experience. off with that Larry Brown bull , it sucks watching a young athletic more then capable of playing defense player in Lonnie walker rotting on the bench just to play scrubs like Marco and patty just cause they have "corporate knowledge

That guy's definition of "favorites" is just based on having HCA
2001 - definitely not the favorites. The Lakers were coasting that year during the regular season, then went supernova to finish out the season and playoffs. Nobody was beating them, and the Spurs were definitely not favorites. Getting swept in that fashion was still embarrassing though...
2004 - This was a choke. Spurs were up 2-0, but Pop had no answer for Phil's defensive schemes against Parker and Duncan after game 2. Just kept running the same over and over, despite Phil having figured our offense out. People make a big deal about game 5, but Game 4 was another missed opportunity. Up at the half, with a 3-1 series lead in their sights, and they laid an egg in the second half.
2006 - I think it's fair to say that the Spurs were favorites here. Mavs were talented, but unproven, and the Spurs should have won. Pop's idea of switching the PnR (leading to Tony/Finley guarding Dirk
2011 - epic choke by the entire team, Pop too.
2012 - anytime you blow a 2-0 series lead, it's partly on the coach. No answers for Durant. Still a close series though, decided by a back-breaking Harden 3 in game 5, then some VERY questionable officiating in game 6 along with some classic Parker playoff choking.
2015 - how the were we the favorites? We were the 7th seed, with a banged up Tony, banged up Manu, and unproven Kawhi. Wtf?
2016 - hard to call the Spurs favorites here. That 2016 Thunder team was great, and gave GSW a run for their money as well. They were the better team.

Also, I love me some Timmy, but that relationship was very synergistic. To say otherwise, is ridiculous.
2011 was probably the most overrated and most undeserving 60 win team of all-time. Teams were literally tanking to play the Spurs.
That one's all on Pop and his unwillingness to play rookies. Had Splitter played they would likely have swept the Grizzlies like they did two years later.
No, the BS narrative is the critics on here go way overboard and overexaggerate.
A lot of today’s players call Pop the greatest because of his political rants and PJs last noteworthy comment included posse.
I'd really like to hear, if we get rid of Pop, who would you want replacing him?
Dave Joerger tbh. Certainly not any of the puppets he has sitting next to him that are too chicken to tell him he's out of touch with today's game.
