Of course it's on Pop. Signing Carroll is the weirdest FA signing EVER by PATFO. They signed a guy and immediately discovered they hated him?
That's on Pop. Carroll is still a better player than Lyles

Love that your embracing your inner edgelord and twisting the narrative...But I'll own commending that loser for having a good preseason and when I was expecting him to play alongside Murray/WhiteTo be fair, I was calling for the same things back in preseason while you were marveling at Bryn Forbes' "redemption arc"
Don't worry - you'll always have a place here on EdgelordTalk tbh.
How is it twisting? That's literally what you said ... but with some extra flowery language added to it.Love that your embracing your inner edgelord and twisting the narrative...But I'll own commending that loser for having a good preseason and when I was expecting him to play alongside Murray/White

I don't feel too strongly about that one as much as my "Pop is a senile " quote. Can we pull that one up on the search bar?
Hold on let me fire up the gerbils to turn search back on . . .I don't feel too strongly about that one as much as my "Pop is a senile " quote. Can we pull that one up on the search bar?
It's not Kori putting on some type of cerebro helmet a la Professor X?

What do you think will be the adjustment? Bc it probably should be not starting Forbes and he has some alternatives like Caroll, Keldon Johnson or Walker. But I cannot see Pop giving opportunities to the rook or the sop re he has in the doghouse and I have no idea what’s up with Caroll. However Pop has alternatives, there probably will be some growing pains but he just needs to do something.
Pop could also start Murray/White.
It’s the prospect of having Forbes off the bench with Mills that’s unappealing. As such, in the current team landscape Forbes probably shouldn’t be playing. If he doesn’t start, he can’t come off the bench paired with Mills. That’s the reason Pop is not adjusting this rotation imo. He’s too reluctant to bench Forbes. Going to take a few more losses and some demoralizing ones b4 a change or Forbes has to get injured and we shall see how things look with someone else.
They probably would suffer growing pains and not be better straight away bc it’s a lineup change with new guys (and maybe young guys) But Forbes isn’t a starter for a team that wants to prioritize defense and compe iveness. It’s not that he’s a scapegoat but you have to make some adjustments.
I have thought of the injury factor too. Mills and Forbes are two of the most resilient Regular season heavy minutes eaters the team has.
The chances are better for Marco to get a sore groin or something but he doesn’t strain himself too much these days.
Good point. I remember a few wins early in the season last year when their defense was atrocious that were pulled by clutch play from Derozan. Perhaps it’s mental, not getting his extension and his fragile depressive psyche.
I feel like something had to have happened behind the scenes with Carroll and Pop. It makes zero sense that he’s barely getting even a minute a game.
Does anyone here think missing the playoffs is ok now because all the big 3 are retired?
Does Pop get one year where his team doesn't exceed expectations?
Sure I'll give that to him, only if it's his last year.
So on your list of best head coaches, which of them haven't missed the playoffs in the past 10 years? 5 years.. last year..?
Nick Nurse
I don't care about making the playoffs. I'd be fine if the Spurs missed the playoffs if they were building towards the future and playing the young guys a ton. That ain't happening.
If Tom Belichick said it then it would go over about the same as it did when Pop said it. Same level of respect same idea.
Pop used to be the old wiz in the park playing chess and now he just plays bingo in the retirement home.
Only injuries can save Pop from his own stubborness.
spot on
spurraider21 - we're almost at the end of November and the Raiders have more wins than the Spurs
Some of you in this thread are funny. Last year you all wanted to tank for the lottery. This year the Spurs are losing games and on this trajectory appear to be on the way to doing that and are upset about it.
There is nothing this team is going to do overnight that is going to fix this. Might as well ride this out for another few weeks and then evaluate where we are at.
