No, but you would have made that up anyways.
By all means, celebrate a Pop win over Phil irregardless of how it came. Seriously.BTW, Pop played three bench players over 23 minutes. Phil played one.
You'd have ed at him if he played Tim 32 and we lost.Asking to possibly play some bench people and thus limit Timmy Dunks minutes when with 6 minutes left in the freakin 3rd qtr the Spurs being up 21 is too unreasonable a request for PopApologists.
Well maybe he won't do 40/40 in the b2bs.

Past performance (by you) says I'm right on this.No, but you would have made that up anyways.
Don't celebrate.
Solemnly acknowledge.

^^^ It was just as stupid as the 1st time you said it.
48,000+ posts of stupid... that's a lot of stupid...
Let's hear it PopApologists.
Denver 103 with Carmelo Anthony out.
Spurs 89 at the at&t center.
24 minutes Mrs. PopFinley-Bonner
11 minutes Blair(4-4 and three boards to boot
)
1 minute for Ian. Freakin Finley comes back and immediately gets more burn then Ian.
I already said fire Pop.
Now what?
Pardon me, I thought you were being sarcastic. Welcome aboard.
But it's not "Fire Pop", it's "Trade Pop" to some organization that is as sheepy and mislead as the PopApologists and overvalue him to the nth degree. Like maybe Toronto??? I don't know if they are, but a Popped for Bosh deal (yeah yeah work out the numbers with Jefferson or what/whomever) could be just the cure we need to get Duncan a 5th.
if phil jackson, pat riley, rick adleman, and probably several others had this lineup we would be holding 2nd in the west right now, as expected.
no doubt whatsoever.
Fail. Badly.
Even I'm starting to lose faith in Pop.. Finely his first game back and he gets 6 (felt longer) mins?? WTF?? And Blair on the bench????? !

how so? explain it to me.
Fail. Badly.
would any of these coaches benched Hill 2nd half of last season and playoffs? would they have aquired gooden then sat him most of the series? would they aquire Ratliff then bench him the entire season while our defense/paint defense gets raped game after game? would any of them refused to play or developed mahinmi? would any of them stubbornly play/START matt bonner year after year? would they have played jaque vaughn/bonner/finley ect...game after game in place of athletic young energy players?
would Pop have taken last years rockets lineup to the game 7 vs. LA?
if Pop were coaching the Lakers, bynum would have been perma-benched last 3 years, still, same as Mahinmi, and shannon brown would be perma-assigned to d-league (like hairston), and sasha and luke walton would still be playing 30 minutes a game.
Wow, your comparing Bynum to Mahinmi and Hairston to Browne. You've got to be kidding. I think your overestimating the talent level of Ian and Malik by a country mile.
point is, bynum started as extremely raw and brown started as trade fodder/extremely athletic but unproven young player...and both were recognized as having lots of potential to contribute to their team's needs, and were worked in, raw or not as soon as possible, and both are now SOLID contributors to their team and fill needs.
Mahinmi and hairston started with basically the same exact potential, same exact kind of players, could fill the same exact needs, contribute when they get the odd minute or two, and yet are Never Developed, but continue to be benched and reassigned despite our team's needs for exactly the kind of thing they could and will bring.
How do you know? Mahinmi has been injured for much of his career and when he's finally healthy he doesn't play at all. If he would have been getting development time like Bynum has been the past 5 years who knows. Bynum didn't exactly start out great out of the gate either.
And I don't think Shannon Brown is anything to write home about. He's Courtney Lee lite who dunks the ball. BFD. I'd rather have Hairston.
I suppose thats my point in a nuts . You don't know if these things would have come to pass any better than I do. You can dump on Popovich all you want, it doesn't change the fact that his players are executing like . Nor will all of the hating in the world will bring back Manu's quickness, heal Tonys ankles, or get rid of Jeffersons bad habits overnight.
Sorry, it's a big sandwich and we've all gotta take a bite.
I'm not giving up on either player, but neither can deliver the goods as we speak. The spurs are still fighting amongst seven other teams for the final five playoff spots. They have a gauntlet of a schedule ahead, and they can ill afford to break in raw talent at this stage of the season. It's better for Malik to prosper and hone his skills at the intermediate level before stepping out onto a bigger platform, while Injuries have robbed Ian of significant developmental time. It is clear that Ian isn't ready to take that next step.
Oh, sure, he's aggressive. But, then again, if you benched anyone of the spurs players for half the season, then called their number, they'd be aggressive too. By adding Ian into the rotation, I doubt the Spurs would be any better defensively than they are now. The Spurs can't sacrafice games in the standings to allow Ian to mature.
He ruined the flow of the starting lineup by putting McDyess in for Blair and Hill for Bogans pop is a dumb ass it's to far into the season to 'tinker' with lineups. And he doesn't blair enough in the 2nd half he didn't play him enough period. It's not just Pop it's tony he doesn't create for others and then he is making an excuse that he has that foot condition. Dude's a bum should trade him and Manu while they still have value.
Coaches can't be traded.
That's stupid.
You're stupid.
Fire Pop.
Ian, for all his flaws, is an energetic, big that can block shots and could provide some interior presence for short bursts. He's going to make his share of mistakes, but he needs some spot minutes in certain situations, against certain teams. I'd rather live with him guarding a player like Aldridge, than watching Bonner or Finley helplessly get run over.
Then you might as well hope for the Spurs to sign Saer Sene. Tall shotblocking fouling machines with less BBIQ than some posters on a message board are not going to provide any helpful minutes.
,
Nothing in the CBA prevents them from being moved to another team once bought out.
Try some glibness again.
I don't think Pop is a good coach.
Hank Egan and PJ Carlesimo are good coaches.
you all get the idea.
