agreed
though Parker deserves to be more than a third option on certain nights
In each of our previous championship seasons, we had much bigger problems at some point during the regular season than we have had at any point this year.
None of those teams really put it together until the rodeo trip.
I'm not saying things are rosy at the moment, I needed more than a couple shots of whiskey after Tuesday's game.
^ , going by Sequ Spur's demented logic, all good coaches are 'lucky'. I guess Phil Jackson is the luckiest mother er in the world! , just because in the past we could roll out Drob and Tim doesn't gurantee you a damn thing, especially not a championship. IMO, just like it takes great players to win les, it also takes great coaches as well. Now, I'm not sure where Pop ranks on a list of all time great coaches, but I believe he's in a pretty damn nice neighborhood with 3 rings so far.
Great logic... I guess the continuance of the Beno Project might actually pay off...
no they didn't. the cornerstone of spurs basketball (defense) is crumbling. that's never been the case before. usually the problems had been on the offensive end.
the rockets hadn't won in san antonio in years; the bucks hadn't won in san antonio in years. hopefully, utah's drought in san antonio continues but it doesn't look good.
that's flawed logic. we may not have been losing to those teams, but there were other lottery bound teams that did come in and win just the same.
i am worried about the defense, but it's laziness and slow rotations. those things are correctable and i expect them to be corrected. i am more worried about the longterm rebounding situation.
The Spurs don't have a leader anymore. That's a problem.
thank god you are going to stop ing about manu
I guess the sky is falling all the time in your world. If Tim isn't a leader, then I don't know who is, give me a break. I also think Manu and Tony lead by example and are looked up to on this team. Yes, I do think our defense has been sub-standard lately, but I'm sure as not going to buy into the gloom and doom thought process this early in the season.
LEADER. That is 1 person. It's not plural.
Damn.
Who should be the coach of the Spurs then, right now, out of the available coaches?
Start naming names geniuses.
^What, you can't have more than one leader on a team or something? I stated Tim's name, and I tend to think he sets the tone for this team and he is THE LEADER. That doesn't mean there can't be other guys who lead, whether it's by example, by how they play, how they practice, etc. So calm the down webster.
No matter who Sequ thinks should replace Pop, Pop has already proven that he is a great coach. I mean, how many other coaches have 3 rings in NBA history?
So ing about Pop is just picking at random straws. We can second guess him until freezes over, but talking about firing him is a bit desperate on your part.
Pop played Beno up by 10 in crunch time and lost a game. Whose fault is that?
Tpark, eat ... Pop's mom could coach better than this.
how many coaches would've lost to dallas last year w/ the spurs lineup? how many would lose four straight to the lakers after being up 2 games to 0? how many coaches, with the spurs lineup, would continuously go through playoff series without making any adjustments (other than stupid lineup changes)? how many coaches would let the other team dictate the style of play even though that was a style never used throughout the regular season?
popovich is a hack who gets by thanks to teams loaded w/ talent. and he still loses a lot more than a team with the lineup he's had for the past 7 years should.
FukinA!
Thats sequ for,Tpark, eat ... Pop's mom could coach better than this.

Name a coach thats available thats better.
You can't.
Pop is considered around the LEAGUE.
Not here, THE LEAGUE, as a great coach.
So fire someone who is considered a great coach, for, WHO.
Come on smart asses, start naming names.
Im still waiting.
there should be a seperate forum for these fairweather fan posts. call it "Dallas Grown".
Does anyone even remember that we came back from 3-1 in the first place, AFTER we switched to small ball?
Calling out Pop for changing the line up like that (and almost puilling it off anyway) isn't enough in my book to call for his head. You really need to chill.
Meanwhile, Pop and the Spurs just owned and outrebounded a 21-8 Utah team coached by Legendary Coach Jerry Sloan.
the fact that in all three championship seasons we were in the top three in field goal % defense and have not been out of the top 10 in ten years or so is a testament to Pops coaching ability, not to mention in '99 we set the all time record
Wait til the next loss. The will be back.
Well those childish argues started by sequ are ...
We are all mystified sometimes by Pop's use of his personnel. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
But if you look at the half-full glass, it takes a coach with great confidence in his ability and originalism to try these things. Most coaches are pretty set in their ways. They pick the best seven players and play them in a fixed rotation. If the team loses, it's clearly the fault of the players because the coach put the best on the court. Pop is always experimenting to see what works.
I can argue the other side as well.
larry brown
but popovich is not that bad.
