either he berates them like a dog
or he yanks them out of the game when they stuff up their 1st play
yet pos like mills, forbes, ddr, lma continue to stay in the game to do what they are best at doing, chucking bricks
Exactly, and Pop knows this too. That’s why he treated him like . Now he’s doing the same with Bertans. Why do you think he always goes after these last chance, could’ve been out of the league, type guys? Because he know he has them by the career balls and they will cower and grovel.
I really don't believe it's like that. I also don't think Pop treated him like . Pop definitely expects guys to play within themselves and within the system, great players like Kawhi and even guys like Derrick White or Dejounte Murray have proven that the more talented players on the team still rise to the top. Bertans had an opportunity to play in the playoffs, shots weren't falling and he was a bit of a liability on defense so he got benched. Nothing to see there. Last year Danny Green was pretty much a liability on offense and was having his worst year in a while, but he was still part of the rotation. Sometimes players get complacent or bored and just need a change of scenery as motivation. I think that was part of it with Danny. We also wanted to get younger at the guard position. He lets certain players get away with more and I don't think it's because he plays favorites but you can't tell me Danny Green and Davis Bertans don't have limited upside. When Danny Green was actually performing on the Spurs he was the starting shooting guard two years in a row in the NBA finals having the green light to shoot 3's. Danny signed multiple contracts with the team, it's not like he didn't have value elsewhere by that point...
true I was about to say he became the new Parker in that regard. Tony was the first one
"I won a ring with Pop and he turned me into a professional NBA player when my commitment to the game was questionable" This is you line Danny.
Pop 5 rings - Nurse Zip.
End of message.
I'm not offended, I'm just calling out his bull . If this were an isolated incident, maybe your conclusion would be reasonable (though even then, I'd be skeptical; Green is media savvy).
Yup. In the 8 years he was here, he had 2 Finals appearances, 4 WCF appearances, 5 Semi WCF Appearances, and 8 total playoff appearances.
He grew as a player and was a big part of the teams that went to the finals.
So its not like Nurse is the first successful coach Green has played for. Pop had different methods but context i guess makes it seem he prefers Nurse.
Right now they are riding high and deservedly so. If they get past the Bucks and make it to the finals, Kawhi would be stupid to leave that team.
And if Kawhi does end up leaving, anything less than a championship would suck for Toronto. For this may be the closest they ever get to winning a championship. You know for sure all of Toronto is praying for Kawhi to stay.
Poop always treated DG like dog .
Uh Spurs won 60 games, and he averaged 26 a game his last full season with the Spurs before his Vagina started hurting..
And 26 pts in 23 minutes against the Warriors in the WCF.. 31 PPG against Memphis.. Pop handed this asshole the Keys..
Those of you defending LDN's -made comments haven't stopped to think that TP could've easily talked about Pop's coaching too this year but he didn't. He thanked Pop and the organization even when his team swept the season series against us.
I don't know why people here interpret Green's comments like he's throwing Pop under the bus. He's simply pointing out different coaching styles. And it's clear that Nurse asks his players for their opinion cause he's not a real coach. He's a rookie and is getting outcoached by Brett Brown who's not a good coach either.
Nah, I don't really think it's that. Forbes and Wombat's future in the league was pretty uncertain when they first arrived in SA and he's never been a hard ass with them. My guess is it's young players that aren't 100% submissive to him that get on his bad side. Bert has a temper and guys like Green/JSimms seem like they're prototypical outspoken, young black guys.
I made a whole ass account just to tell you you're a ing dumbass. I just found this website 3 days ago and through the whole thing there is one constant. You with your ignorant ass stupid ass takes. All the you talk about PATFO, your terrible degrading takes about every rookie we draft and your overall opinion about the team makes it clear you're a ing troll.
ROY material, ladies and gents.
Best first post ever.
lol
unfortunately spurstalk full of "real coach and truther", youll see.
"We have a lot of freedom here to be able to do things you want to do on the floor," Leonard said. "The biggest thing that I feel like I experienced this year is just learning about my game a little bit more with the more freedom that they have."
