Pop enjoys white privilege.
Thats on the defender to switch. I dont understand it bc there is no switch and gs holds and moving screens all day.
Spurs need to lay out anyone screening and bust the pick man but they wont. Too soft.
Pop enjoys white privilege.
I love Pop but he's losing his fire...Most times it seems like he doesn't even care about games.
His lineups and late-game decisions were at least "questionable" in previous seasons and playoffs. I'm not talking about 2013, just about game 7 in 2015, game 5 in 2016...
Then there's the issue with Javale McGee playing like the second coming of Wilt everytime he sees the Spurs.
Anderson needs to be aggressive. Otherwise he shouldn't play.
Mills shouldn't be allowed to play more than spot minutes.
Bertans needs more minutes than Forbes.
Parker needs to readjust his shot to try and use his legs more. His shots are coming off flat.
I only trust PATFO in the draft. In free agency and trades they have been pretty mediocre outside of the Hill for Leonard+Bertans swap.
I haven't been impressed with Pop this year, but what is he supposed to do. He was going into this season counting on having an arsenal of small forwards/power forward combos (Gay, Kawhi, and Anderson). You figure that Kawhi can stretch the floor with his three point shooting, but he doesn't have Kawhi. You need Patty to spread the court with shooting, but GSW can take advantage by causing switches until Durant has Patty on him. They did that last year to us too. It happens when you are committed to switching, but you have to switch against GSW because they have 5 three point shooters on the floor at all times. We just don't have the aresenal on defense to defend them. We needed to have Kawhi and some swing forwards to throw out there to disrupt.
What's he supposed to do...? Not giving Patty a big contract when we already watched this issue last playoffs, could be one option. Not giving that many loyalty contracts, could be other.
If you have three guards on loyalty contracts, a 40 years old who is not going to play moe than 20/25 minutes in playoffers, other injured and old, and the 3rd guy who can't guard his granny, to switch on KD...
I would say that the coach and FO didn't make the job in the summer.
Pop has always been an incredibly stubborn, poor in-game coach. He always stays with lineups and matchups thst clearly dont work, because his ego is too gigantic to ever admit when hes wrong. Instead, he will just berate whatever reporters are assigned to him and call you a jerk.
I hope Poop's wife sees all the backlash about his interviews. Didn't she bust his balls about it in the past?
