The thing with hacking is, it can screw your own team's rhythm and that's exactly what I think it did to the Spurs in game 6 of 2015 playoffs against the Clippers. It seems like Pop wasn't a good player or has played much Basketball (I know he has when he was younger) to know anything about rhythm. He must have been an average offensive player, because going by his coaching, he doesn't seem to respect when players are in rhythm or the flow of the game when the team is playing great and has momentum. He constantly stops it with timeouts, subs utions and not playing/riding the hot hand.
I also think it screwed the Spurs' rhythm they were starting to get in at the end of the Philly game. I think it also gave Philadelphia more confidence too.
btw, was it you that told us at the end of the preseason/start of the season that Joffery's ceiling was that of an 8th, 9th man (I thought you were being harsh). If so, looks like you were right, but right now I'd say he ceiling looks even lower. He played great in the preseason, but has looked like trash since then.
