Who coached better Gentry or Popavich?

So are you trying to tell us that having a picture of Nash suddenly appear on your signature after all the negativity you've spouted over the years about the guy isn't bandwagonning?

??? I've been critical of Nash since he basically quit on the team last year, but no that's not bandwagoning. Bandwagoning is when you and gs start cheering for the Spurs in 2003.

Yeah *they* keep voting just enough to keep it at 80%-20%.
Hover over the number (right now it's at 14) and click on it and the "ass alert" will show who voted.

Probably several or more of their *votes* is from the same poster. One is a known fail multiple profile troll DUNCANownsKOBE aka monoslobGETSowned, Gordan Dragic, bunch of other lame profiles. Been exposed on the other forums eons ago. He/she most often posts to himself in some attempt to appear as if he/she has support for his posts. As was pointed out he used to attempt to diss Nash now he is sucking him off.

stupid thinking me and mono are the same person

The Spurs should hire Gentry this summer. Whatever it takes.

And then the hoards can complain that the Spurs would have saved a lot of time and effort if they had just hired him in 1997.

All I want to know is why Fabbs didn't start a poll after the Dallas series asking who coached that one better. Could it be because he's a myopic so focused on his obsessive hatred of Popovich that it's impossible for him to ever admit Pop does a good job?

Pretty much...

I'd say by the sheer volume of critical posts you've made about Nash this hatred extends way beyond last year. But since were on the subject just when did Nash ever quit on the suns? I've never seen the guy say or do anything but give 100% for that organization. Where's your proof of his quitting last year?

So after literally hundreds of vitriolic posts (maybe thousands LOL) ripping Nash to shreds all of a sudden since the suns made it past the 1st round he's good enough to be proudly displayed in your sig.... if that's not bandwaggoning I don't know what is.

Wrong. If the Spurs were coached by Rick Adelman, Pat Riley, Phil Jackson, Larry Borwn, or even Jeff Van Gundy, we would not be down 3-0 right now. We would be up 2-1, because we wouldn't have blown 15 point leads, and we wouldn't be shredded by the same play for three straight games.

Popovich coaches out of negativity. You heard him say tonight that, "It's a game of mistakes." That's his way of looking at things. A lot of people would say, "It's a game of making plays." Or..."It's a matter of taking it."

Pop's negativity and pessimism is finally wearing on the Big Three, and certainly on George Hill. It has runined Mason, and hindered RJ all season. I'm not sticking up for RJ, because I can't stand him, but every other coach in the league would have gotten more out of him than Popovich has this year. It's inexcusable.

It seems like every time Tim misses a free throw, the whole team deflates and loses confidence. What is that about? The negativity comes straight from Popovich - this is the atmosphere he creates. Guys are running around out there trying not to make a mistake.

On the other side of the coin, you hear Gentry tell Dragic, "Don't worry about making mistakes - just be aggressive." Now that's coaching from a positive angle - getting the most out of your player....something Popovich has absolutely no clue about.

beautiful post. Solid.
True.
