OP, Pop is not the problem now and almost never is in general. Green was kept in because he can defend. Ginobili because his ceiling is higher than McGrady's. That's it.
I read your posts, man. The argument sucks. You're calling Pop out because he wouldn't put in an old wing who is beyond rusty and who wasn't even a good defender in his prime over the players in there now. The problem isn't the players; it's the effort. More importantly, it's the effort of the bigs. Changing players too early is why the Nuggets lost their series (and possibly why the Spurs lost to the Thunder). You dance with who brought you.

Ginobili's ceiling is higher than McGrady's? What's McGrady's ceiling?
At this point? Maybe around Ginobili's waist. McGrady is done.
Pop coached a of a game
Agreed. He also made all the right adjustments.. We slowed the game down and that killed GSW's rhythm.
Unfortunately, he didn't adjust the number of minutes T-Mac played..so we're obviously going nowhere..
Lol. Here comes the "Well Pop started doing exactly what I said he should do" comments.
Just gtfo OP and stop starting threads in the future.
You can't spell the word "and" but you're calling someone else a dip ?
jermaine, with the bads, per usual.
Shut up u muddafucca! Spell that
Pop went above and beyond with his adjustments. For me it was just nice to see two 7-footers in the lane on defense.
Pop did an impressive job last night. I can't complain. When someone didn't step up, Pop took em out. If they missed an assignment, he pulled em. I like what he came with.
Pop still going with Neal an Bonner. Both keeps getting beat an no offense. But no McGrady. I can't understand
No game having Neal, still getting burn. Just sad. Same play down with Tiago 3 times an 3 times they score. An Pop rewards them by taking Tiago out.
jermaine, with the further bads. Pop didn't miss double digit FTs.
Don't understand why pop doesn't trust tim and tiago together after the initial starting lineup.
He's an ass! But he trust Neal
No he didn't. But if he sees players struggling like some has, he needs to lull them. Not pull the ones playing well.
I had to agree with this thread.
As bad as Spurs played in that game, this loss is on Pop. For few years, I've found his choices highly questionable. I could name events like overplaying Bonner, putting Hill in the doghouse, Bogans...
Right now, Splitter is playing too little and Neal way too much. Neal shouldn't play and his minutes should go to Joseph or De Colo.
Remember when the playoff rotations were overwhelmingly 7 players, 3 bigs and 4 guards?
Pop is playing 10 or more, and getting nothing from the last 2.
I'm having a hard time not wishing for Splitter to go somewhere else and flourish, because I know it's bad for the team, but I'm really pissed about that right now.
Like I said, they ran a play 3 times down court with Tiago. They got points each time down! For no reason, Pop pulls Tiago an puts Tim back in. Neal an Leonard is playing like they are afraid of the moment, but Pop sticks with them. In a time where you need points, he went inside to Tim 3 times in the paint, with no positive outcome. Once they tied the game, then he called Tonys number for they jumper. Tim seemed tired an not stepping up on Jack as he kept hitting pull up jumpers after the pick. Pop still never made a change. Pop Tim for a couple of positions to get a breather at least.
This[2]Matt Bonner starting.
Tiago Splitter and Tim Duncan playing zero minutes together.
"Return to defense" = 4 guard lineups in the playoffs jacking up threes.
Pop isn't the problem.
Pop was the problem today. He's just too stubborn and panics too much. Pop tries to control the game too much and doesn't let his players control it too much. Stupid rotations to try to counter whatever Marc Jackson does is re ed. He needs to just trust Splitter right now, it's his only option.
