Ahh...very intelligent response..to this "homerism"
I think Pop knows we don't have the players to be a great defensive team, so he doesn't expect us to be great like having Stephen Jackson/David Robinson/Bruce Bowen/Kevin Willis type guys.

I'm just surprised that Pop and PopHomers are satisfied with the defense during that losing streak...
Giving up a 108/game on 51% shooting to the opponent during that span, and defense wasn't the problem
i dont expect us to be great or even good but if he's satisfied with those kind of numbers then we are all ed
Nope, it's not like Spur's fans pay for Pop's salary. Oh wait..

That's the whole point, he never said he was satisfied, in fact all season long he has said he wasn't satisfied. He is just speaking the truth, this team just can't get better defensively. I'm sure they will turn it on a little more in the playoffs but you're assuming he hasn't pushed them in practice to improve their defense.
Also 4 of those 6 games were without Duncan, so maybe that is what he expected for the majority of those games.
"...But we were in every game, so the defense was good enough." - Pop
Sure sounds like he was satisfied with it....
And it's bull to say this team can't get better defensively. Maybe not perimeter wise but you really don't think playing Tiago more and Bonner/Blair less doesn't make this team instantly better on defense?
They don't have the personnel to defend because Pop didn't bring in guys who could defend, plain and simple. And when he actually has players that can defend, he benches them in favor of a ginger who turns everybody into Karl Malone when they play against him.
This paradigm shift started when he benched Bruce Bowen for Michael ing Finley and it's been killing this team ever since.....
This quote reeks of D'Antoni's Phoenix Suns and I guess i'm just not as enthusiastic about it as the PopHomers.
Really, which poster said he was enthusiastic about it?
You got the Spurs defensive problems all figured out. Why don't you provide a list of top notch defenders Pop could of/can bring in to shore up the Spurs defense. I'm sure there are quite a few of them just floating around out there, waiting for Pop to bring them in.
i don't think Pop is enthusiastic about it. I think he just gave up. PopHomers are enthusiastic about all things Pop does.
Yup, I do. Pop didn't even have to bring in anybody. All he had to do was not re-sign Bonner.
Defense = Shored up.
You didn't answer the question.
Truth is Spur's can be a pretty decent defencive team if the want to as it has been proven from the spurts we have seen. Problem is the effort, they don't seem to want to commit to it.
Why Pop's settling for the lack of effort on D I have no idea. One of a coaches main jobs is to bring out the most potential out of his team not just settle .
I'm fine with that answer.
So no posters were actually enthusiastic about this.
OK.
Anything else?
Nope. Verification of your blatant misrepresentation is quite enough for now.
You can find it in the Poptionary under "it is what it is".
Love when Chump comes to bat for his girl.
Picturing Pop in drag just made me throw up in my mouth. Thanks asshole, and may God have mercy on the Baylor Bears.
Needs more pockmarks.
In what way did I do that?
Please explain.
No such word as "alot".
