Pop has been really bad, especially on how he used Spurs' bigs.
I agree. Pop learned absolutely nothing from last year. This game was a carbon copy of the playoffs.

We do have that player in Manu..unfortunately he was AWOL tonight..I agree. Also, if Pop decides he is gonna rest TD, he at least needs to put someone in the game that can create their own shot (or any kind of offense for that matter). Poor lineup to start the 4th.
Parker really hurt us in the 4th. Instead of going to Tim, who was hot, he was taking outside shots. I know he made a couple of them, but it seems he's going more to his jumpshot instead of driving to the basket. And where the heck was Elson tonight? Wasn't he our Mav killer last time around?
Diop was inside. If it was Dampier Duncan would have no prob taking the short two
Spurs are 0-2 when Horry gets big minutes.
yes, see my Duncan vs Diop thread
Horry almost drilled that last 3
His done that every n game, thats one of the parts to his game i also hate, he thinks his got a good shooting touch with a high % shot every time his free or gone pass a screen, and they you will see a player next to him thats wide open who has a better shot than him with there hands up why didnt he pass the ball on their face. Ask Gino he always gets that treatment.
Correct me if Im wrong. Why is Finley going to shoot a fadeaway on the last possession? Instead of jumping towards Dirk. Ginobli need to teach him how to foul bait!!
Robert Horry sucks.
Your post is completely incorrect. Parker finds players all the time. He doesn't always make the right pass, but he's not ever going to be Jason Kidd so stop expecting that from him.
Parker played a solid fourth quarter.
Damn stright. Dude is finished.
Dude, Parker is the best player in the NBA.
i disagree.Dude is finished
hes shown in some games that hes still got his shot.
I mean, missing that layup was straight up Rasho esque, but Im not writing Horry off yet.
Thats foolish.
Elson screwed up at least three posessions, and looked lost and confused while he did it. He let what would have been a brilliant feed from Barry just bounce off of him. Taking Elson out was one of the few lineup decisions tonight that really made sense. And after Oberto went back in, he played too well to justify giving Elson another shot.
WTF do you know anyway?
not tonight he wasntDude, Parker is the best player in the NBA.
WTF has Horry shown you this year or last year for that matter?
rarely do I call out Pop...but this time, I agree with Manny.
Pop coached a horrible game. That lineup to end the third and to begin the fourth was like he was trying to lose the game. Not letting Elson guard Dirk even for a minute was a mistake. Not making sure Tim got the ball more in the fourth was a mistake. AJ, just like last playoffs, ran circles around Pop.
I wouldn't say Horry is done just yet. His rebounding and blocked shots numbers are up and he's playing better defense than he has anytime in the last two years. His shot is so off right now though that it's hard to see the stuff he's actually doing well.
Unfortunately, I think Ginobili getting hurt fried his brain for a minute.That lineup to end the third and to begin the fourth was like he was trying to lose the game
Yeah, not enough 4 down too.
AJ isnt' out coaching him though, Pop is just shooting himself in his damn foot. He keeps trying to make stupid adjustments that aren't needed and he misses the obvious ones. It really just seems like AJ is in his head.
Well AJ is doing things that are frustrating Pop and Pop is reacting by doing dumb things. AJ had plays specifically for when Beno set foot in the game and those worked to perfection. Pop reacted by going with a third string point guard seeing his first real minutes of the year.
AJ keeps Dirk out of the game while Elson is in and puts Dirk back in right when Oberto goes to check in. Pop in turn never plays Elson again for some unknown reason.
I agree that it's mostly Pop but AJ is pushing all the right buttons to make the Spurs' coaching staff panic.
