Which contradicts (in his own way) what Pop said?
Pop said the team was soft. Duncan basically said "I don't think so". Not saying that's a rift...just saying that's about as much of a 'rift' you'll see between Pop and Duncan.
I sure as hope Duncan's putting some heat on Pop. Nothing else seems to make management do anything about the fact that this team only has three players worth a damn.

Actually I think Duncan was agreeing with Pop. He just isn't going to call his own teammates soft. He basically said that it depends on how you define soft and that he thinks his teammates are trying (but they just aren't cutting it).
Maybe. It's probably easier to tell from the voice clip.
But from text, it seems like Duncan makes a point of using the word 'hard' to describe the spurs play. Hard, of course being the exact opposite of soft. Which is the word Pop used to describe the team. Could be Tim's way of indirectly disagreeing with Pop.
Either way. It's not a big deal. Definately not a 'rift'.
Duncan is the one playing soft. i think
Did someone really make a thread about this? WOW.
@ this thread.

The day there's a true 'rift' between Duncan and Pop is the day I'll wear a D Wade jersey.
A few disappointing losses, and some uncharacteristic play is causing alot of overreaction.
Tomorrow night you all will beat the Nets. Someone will have a standout game, and all this will be forgotten.
Of course on Wednesday, (I hope) you all will lose to the Pistons and we'll all end up in the exact same place we are now!! LOL
AWWW SH*TTT!!!!! POP is hangin in there barely with the sh*tty coaching cause tim likes him, but if him and duncan ever have controversy then POP will be easily terminated. I think duncan was a little mad from this statement by pop cause hes a selfless team player that wants all his teamates to do good, be happy and not get bashed.
Project much?
Even the closest of friends aren't on the same page about everything every time...
Gee I don't know how Tim and Pop are going to overcome these tongue lashings.
If Pop is angry on Tim that means TP, Manu and Filey will take over 50 shots per game.
I do not see this as a rift at all. I think Pop is referring to "soft" in the aspects of not handling physical play very well and thus not banging as much for the rebounds. That is why TD stated that it depends on your definition of soft because some can interpret soft as not giving effort and so he is clearly just clearing up that it is not that the effort is not there.
*shrugs*
I agree that this is really a non-issue and there is no rift forming or there.
Hmm. I find it intriguing the different ways people interpreted the same statement.
When I read it, I thought Timmy was disagreeing with Pop about the team being soft.
I had pretty much the same conclusion as Please don't ban me...
That is what I think Timmy meant. Of course maybe I projecting my opinion onto Timmy's; perhaps Kori's interpretation is more accurate.
Or vice versa.
At the very least, interesting read.
For the money Duncan is making he should never be quitting on his teammates. My impression is Tim has lost his passion for winning, and his teammates are following his lead. Isnt one of the reasons people think Tim is so great is that he makes his teammates better, all I see right now is Tim taking forever to make a decision and turning the ball over way to much.

Hilarious. All from that little statement.
The Spurs are not soft, they just aren't all that good as a team.
Tim Duncan should just come out and say. Pop is senile and needs to get his straight. and small ball sucks!!!!!!!!!
Much ado about nothing. This team has bigger things to focus on. He answered a reporter. The spin put on it is out of his control. I'm certain they don't care, why should I? From what I've gathered over the years Duncan and Pop have one of the best relationships in the League. I would think they can communicate with each other without the bull of going through reporters.
Just my opinion.
last season 63 win with one leg td
this season a fully rejuvenated td = worst season so far for his career....
its time to pull the trade now.
Dude Kori controls this ship. Just deal with it.
BACK to reality SPURS FANS.
SPURS SUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
