How is that a bad thing? He is the MVP... so everyone else is under him
Them losing was more on pop and lma than Kawhi... Also the 2017 spurs were near the top of the league in assists and efficiency...

So is Kerr... And look where he is at
We marvel at other team's players, but let's be honest, as I've always said, Curry wouldn't have been great under Pop... He would have simply been good... The minute he took a 40 foot three, he would be benched... The minute he got beat on D, he would be benched, and his confidence would have been affected as a young player... He would have only been able to operate within Pop's limitations... So no 1on 4 fast break pull up threes that absolutely bury opponents for him
Pop learned to coach in an era where Star players weren’t overriding the coaches and GMs.
When you're so far up Kawhi's ass that you don't realize that Mugen was talking about Danny Green.
Your schtick is tired.
So what else did Danny Green say or was that it? Lol. I'm sure Danny said more than what was posted but the way the tweet is set up makes great click bait.
The people who are upset and want to blame Pop and RC regardless of what is put out there will not be swayed in their beliefs no matter if the evidence suggests other wise. Lol
I do believe Nurse is more open to suggestion than Pop and I don't think Danny or Steven Jackson were lying by saying as such. I can understand why Nurse is more open to suggestion and its because he is a new coach who is trying not to be the reason Kawhi wants to leave. Not to mention he is trying not to be the reason the team underperforms how well they played with their previous coach of the year
I have an issue with people trying to say Pop will not change or listen to players who prove themselves. He has most definitely listened to players who have proven they can play and showed they are trust worthy. Its obvious how this is the case by looking at how the team consistently changes it style to fit the players on the rosters strength. Pop even publically admitted he was using Aldridge wrong and changed the teams style to fit Kawhi better also.
If you swap Nurse for Pop, Toronto would be the prohibitive favorite to win it all, it's that simple imo. This is the same narrative like some here were saying about Brad ing Stevens. Where the is little Brad now with all that talent the Celtics have?
An he cant get no respect from his Superstar player to turn the music down while he does an interview. Raps DO NOT have the stars the Warriors have. It's not even ckos3
Seriously
Your schtick is tired.
Glad you approve!
Glad you approve!
Yeah, but you got rid of the guitar girl and replaced her with a wine glass of chocolate milk. I think there's something Freudian going on there.
You can't complain that Pop didn't give Kawhi enough freedom and also complain the the Beautiful Game went away.... Kawhi's emergence as an offensive powerhouse was always going to be more iso-heavy.

Guitar girl may return next season by popular demand.
Bobo approves of the wine glass girl.
Holy balls!!! We finally agree on something.

Richard Jefferson: “Tony came through the system: great player; Manu came through the system: great player; Tim came through the system: great player.
“Myself: I struggled; Antonio McDyess: struggled; Michael Finley: struggled; LaMarcus Aldridge: struggling.” […]
Robert Horry: “I remember my first year there, I struggled. And it was funny, the San Antonio fans were like, ‘Oh, he’s a spy! Lakers sending him here for us to suck!’
“I’m like are you serious right now? I took less money just to get my rep back.
“And I told Michael Finley, I said Mike let me tell you something, In order for you to be successful, you gotta dumb your game down.
“He looked at me like, ‘What?’
“You have to be a robot because when you get to San Antonio they get A, B, C, D. If you try to go to A, B, E, they gon’ look at you like, ‘Woah, what you doing?’”
This pretty much explains why the Spurs are great at developing draft picks and free agents struggle to fit in
truth bomb tbh. Not to mention Bud almost had to fight Pop to trade Hill for Kawhi
No matter how you or anyone slices it, Spurs won 5 les and went to 6! Nothing is guaranteed no matter the mix of a team. All those pieces, players and coaches, contributed to the les. Twenty plus of consecutive playoff seasons? Dude we’ve been so lucky it’s blinded us.
Everyone everywhere is some kind of system player. Everyone runs a system of sorts.
I got sick of his passive-aggressive, thinly veiled bull early in the season. If he's got something to say, have some balls and say it.
He's been slurping up to Toronto media since his arrival, trying to play team spokesman (while doubling as s bag's hype man), so if he re-signs, maybe he'll try to work his way into the media there when he retires . . . if he tries to worm his way back in here, the organization should pull some strings and shut that down.
Man the animosity towards Danny is misplaced imo.
Pretty interesting. A lot of times, companies would rather have young new minds to mold vs getting someone that already has had experience in that field because of old habits that may go against on how they do things.
I'm trying to think of what free agents spurs have signed in the last 20 years that has been successful. Off the top of my head
-Brent Barry
-Bruce Bowen
-Boris Diaw
Thats all i can think of, there was probably more. not sure lol
But i don't see it as a necessarily bad thing that some of these players have a hard time fitting in. Its bad in the sense for future free agents. But at the same time, we have won more than other teams in the last 2 decades. So something in our system is good. But its definitely not for everyone.
Stevens got rid of too many key players, ing the nucleus in the process.
Also getting one B star like Hayward is not going to do a lot for your team.
U completely missed the point... Having the qualities of giving ur players freedom doesn't make u a bad or weak coach... Kerr has had the best team in the league even before KD, and he allowed them tons of freedom... Larry Brown was rigid and never won a championship
Tbf Danny might be the one guy that has a right to feel a little slighted by PATFO. I don't feel Pop ever truly embraced him. I get why Pop would never embrace him like he embraced the Big 3, but he never even embraced him the way he did Patty (a much lesser player). Danny was a vital cog of the '14 team and numerous other deep runs, did the Spurs a solid with his current contract, and seemed to genuinely love the Spurs and Big 3. I still remember how sad he seemed after the Clippers loss because his future (FA) and the future of Manu/Timmy (retirement) was uncertain.

Yet Pop always coached him the hardest and dangled him in trade talks for years.
He did say it
