Alright Sequ,
Ill bite,
Who would YOU hire RIGHT NOW,
to replace Pop.
(waits for answer)
You sir hit the nail on the head. That is why Spurs losses are so magnified. Whenever we lose it take a total collapse by the entire team. Everything has to go south for this team to lose. I personaly dont invision everything going south for more than 3 games in a 7 game series.

How's this: he has to answer that, but only after you answer why Horry didn't play (Sequ's question). And why we think the solution to a zone is 4down (mine).
Some of you guys need to calm down, it's one loss, no need to wet yourself. Lots of guys didn't show up tonight and yes maybe even the coaching staff, strategies sometimes don't work out. But talk of replacing pop(two ing rings that didn't exist before) and killing Rasho(Walton that was "Weeaak" as your obvious hero Jim Rome would say) is way to premature. Relax, beating Minnesota tomorrow will make it all feel better.
Ubelievable, I agree with Walton's posts!
Tpark, Pop is not God, he makes mistakes. He is not playing this team the right way. He has not been doing it for two weeks now. As a coach, he has to find a way to work Barry into the rotation. Barry has to play 20 minutes per game, plain and simple.
20 and 6 or 13 and 13 record people what do you want, you need to wake up we can not win every fricking game regardless who we lose to. I will take the SPURS in any 7 game series. WAKE UP XMAS is around the corner.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS
1. It is not about these games. We are looking down the road and we need to prepare now. We all know we could beat Orlando in a series, but..... 2. I was not that shocked about Barry not playing ( I am one on record that he won't average 10 minutes the rest of the season), but hasn't Horry been shooting the ball well lately? I really expected him in there to loosen up that zone. A couple of threes and they would have gotten out of it. 3. Brown is starting to show the hesitation that has infected Barry. I think we are headed for a mid-season slump. Tony hesitates, Manu hesitates, Barry obviously, and now Brown. Notice how relaxed Hedo looked. He missed and didn't even look over his shoulder. How nice for him.
How is this Pop's fault? It's not his fault that the players stunk it up on the line. I just hope he can motivate them for tonight's game. That game is more important then last nights. We have to beat these Wolves and show them that they're not the best in the west. The Wolves are playing badly right now and we need to take advantage of that.
So if the team wins the championship, Pop is a great coach and it was all due to Pop and his system.
C'mon! Its pretty obvious Pop has something to do with some of the losses.
I'm very happy witht the 20-6 record, but this team has to make some serious adjustments if the wannt to go all the way.
"it's one loss"
bull . The Magic loss is 4th ugly Spurs game in a row, win or lose.
As badly as the Spurs played on offense with low ASTs (15 vs avg 22), horrendous shooting (39% vs avg 46%), and FTs (50% vs avg 71%), they lost on defense, allowing 30 pts in the second qtr to allow Magic to take the momentum and 6-pt lead/confidence into halftime, and, after tying the game after 3, the Spurs, yet again fatally, allowed 29 pts in the 4th qtr. (Magic got only 16 and 18 pts in 1st and 3rd qtrs)
Had the Spurs played "The Spurs Way" and held the Magic to opp avg 85 PPG, or at least stepped up the defense in the 4th qtr, the Spurs could have won closely 87 - 85, while totally barfing on offense. Instead, the Spurs defense allows the Magic 85+8 pts, and the Spurs lose by 6.
I really don't think playing Brent or Robert 10 minutes each would have helped that much, on either end.
Devin took some bad shots last night. He had a horrid run in the 3rd and he still came out in the 4th. The only one who can answer why Barry and Horry weren't put in when the Magic went to zone is Pop. The good thing about the reg. season is that it's just one game, tonight the Spurs get a chance to get back on the winning track. This team is a long way from being solid but even with all the breakdowns here and there, they are 20-6, hey I'll take that anytime.
Champ,
this isn't about a December loss, it's about the implications, the trends, and how they will play out down the road.
There's about two pages outlining it, don't have much else to say.How is this Pop's fault
Haven't you heard? Defense is always there, that's why offense isn't important.
