    Pop is done. You're holding onto him having one good year od coaching left is like that 38 year old welterweight trying to win the le one more time. It may happen, but the chances of a 40 year old ww beating the top guy does not happen often(Pacquia beating Thurman was no upset. Thurman was always overrated).
    Sort of a tortured analogy. But I'm not arguing what you say I am. Wide range of options of what could happen. I'm sure the owners will hope to have Pop in the background even in a ular role.

    Pop should step aside. There is zero positives for him to continue trudging on at this age & health. He will only put the team and organization in a bad spot if he refuses.

    Umm. Pop is the President of the Spurs as well. He ain’t exactly about to fire himself as the coach. He will probably move upstairs and run things from his office Pat Riley style.

    I can’t see Pop bringing in an “outsider” to coach the team. It’s going to be Mitch and probably always was going to be him. Just my guess.

    I don't know that being in an office vs being on the sideline would reduce stress for Pop. He'd have to get totally away from the game for that to happen, but that's not Pop. Pop seems to hate losing more than he likes winning, and the last few years have been particularly difficult in that regard, but at the same time Pop seems to love teaching new NBA arrivals. He seems to enjoy the process. I don't think coaching at that level with no real expectations to win puts undue strain on Pop's health.

    I had a minor stroke, probably way more minor than whatever Pop went through, a few years ago and it took me about 2 months before I felt like myself again (and I'm fully recovered with zero signs that it ever happened). But this happened to me at age 42, not age 75.

    Glad you are doing better. I'm 42 right now and about 2 years into a physical- and mental- health journey myself. I've got a long way to go still, but I've got 4 kids and gotta take care of myself for them.

    42 is way too young. Glad you recovered from that.

    Good stuff! Similar to where I've gone after that. I've basically cut out all alcohol and I try to eat as many natural foods as possible while still giving myself room to enjoy some indulgences when I need to. I'm in better shape now than since I was in my 20s and feeling great!

    Good to know. I travelled a lot for work previously and gained close to 20 lbs in a year and a half. High bloody sugar levels, high blood pressure. Changed jobs partially because of it. Blood pressure went back to high-normal, blood pressure still high.

    A few years went by, pandemic hit, finally have time to diet and exercised. Lost 25 lbs, blood sugar down to normal, poor pressure back to normal. Best shape of my life.

    Take care my friend. Stroke is a . A friend of mine had a relatively major one, she’s still have issues walking with a visible limp and will likely never get all her mobility back. It’s terrible.

    Glad you are doing well! Keep that momentum going! Sorry about your friend, it’s definitely a scary experience. I had paralysis of the left half of my body for about a half hour when they dropped my blood pressure too fast in the ER, was one of the scariest moments of my life. Was head first in a CT Scanner when I regained movement and started balling

    Post Tim, he won 61 games the first season, and averaged 52 for the first three seasons. It would have continued longer but for Kawhi snaking the franchise, forcing a trade that threw the roster out of balance.

    You might try being less stupid, and actually doing some research before metaphorically stepping on your .
    Without Tim, he's had 3 winning seasons 6 losing seasons (and has a 7th losing record this season). He's 331-391 (a losing record). I may be "stupid" compared to a genius like you, but I learned enough math getting 2 engineering degrees to know those aren't impressive numbers.

    I highlighted a sentence, and shot holes in it. Typical that you start moving the goalposts.

    If that's "your truth," I'm sure you believe it.

    Pop is still an awful coach when he doesn't have Tim. Maybe someday Wembanyama will be good enough to make Pop a "genius" again.

    You highlighted a sentence and built an amazing strawman, buddy. Your mom will be super proud of you.
