    Detroit didn't win last night because they "prepped an extra day."
    Coulda fooled me. They completely ditched their inside-out offense and worked outside-in. And that in turn opened up the lane for Rip. Hence, coaching.

    Eight three pointers and a 19 point, 6 assist, zero turnover game from Chauncey later, we're staring game 7 in the face.

    This is so weak. You could give the Spurs over half of the day off and have them come in at 3-4 in the afternoon to break down film and make some tweaks for game 6.

    I am not oversimplifying things. Pop has given the team the day off prior to four playoff games this year, and they're 1-3 with an average margin of defeat of 18 points.

    There is nothing positive anywhere in those stats, especially when you're trying to kill off the defending world champions, who you know are going to bring everything they've got in game 6.

    All you can say is it's a ing stupid thing to do for one of the supposedly greatest coaches in the league.

    BTW, I have to laugh when people say Pop's great because he has us in the playoffs every year. That has very little to do with Popovich and very much to do with one Tim Duncan.

    Here's some more to chew on: if we blow this tomorrow it will be two straight years where a Gregg Popovich coached team has dropped a series after going up 2-0 in the series. What good is a coach if he can't finish off series when it matters?

    I agree with you there. The question for me that always comes to mind on this subject is, who's out there that's better?

    When PJ first came on board, I figured it was just a matter of time before Pop kicked himself upstairs. Then when Carlesimo started interviewing for other jobs this year, I then cleverly deduced that I was wrong.

    Anyway, Mike Brown's busy. Same with Doc Rivers, and AJ. Is Terry Porter our new answer to start throwing around?

    My friend Hunter S. Thompson would've thought the same thing.

    I'm not saying to fire the guy. I'm saying he needs to be fluid enough within his "system" to realize when isn't working out.

    Like taking the day off. You were 1-2 in the playoffs, with both losses being by 20+ points, when you did that earlier in the playoffs. In what way, shape, or form does that seem like something that should be a regular occurance, particularly preceding the most important game of your season.

    I'd just like to see someone in the media with the balls to ask Pop about it, instead of licking his boots and parroting out every excuse or change of subject that gets doled out to them.

    Go AHF

    Your soooooooooooo on the $
    and Thank You Kori because any other so-called SPURS Site would have banned
    AHF by now, along with several others.

    If we loose game 7 I could go along with getting rid of Pop
    Promote PJ and maybe bring in Mario E as an assistant

    I like Pop and believe he is the best coach. I wouldn't want to fire him.

    That was the worst coaching I have ever seen in a play-off basketball game.

    The game was the Spurs' to lose, and with Pop's game plan, they did. How are you not going to run plays for the MVP?!?!?

    For the greatest power forward to ever play the game??!??!?!??

    For your top scorer???!!!?!?!

    For a guy who's shooting around 60% !?!?!?!?

    You're not ging to run the offense through him?!?!??!!

    You're going to relegate him to setting picks 20 feet from the basket, for lesser players?!?!?!?!

    You're going to be content with your other players passing the ball around frantically until one of them loses it or takes a wild, low-percentage shot??!?!!

    Instead of pounding the ball into the MVP in the post??!?!?!

    Does anyone think the Bulls would've won a single championship if Jordan were not taking the lion's share of the shots?

    Does anyone think that the Rockets would've won back-to-back championships if they hadn't run the offense through Hakim the Dream?!?!?

    This is not rocket science, Pop!!! Draw up a game plan where the offense runs through your MVP!!! Let Tim decide if he should take a shot or pass it back out.

    All I can think is that Pop either had money riding on the Pistons, or he's got some subconscious fear of beating Daddy (Larry Brown).



    AHF?
