    Where does Pop rank league wide when he draws up a play on the clipboard? I'd say bottom 3, tbh..

    having the best 3pt shooter in the league on the bench when down 3, and then having him inbound with 0.7 seconds left.

    Pop really messed up the end of that game, but then again, it shouldn't have gotten that far.

    his strength is the big picture ... the smaller the time window the weaker he is. conceptualizing a winning philosophy for a small-market franchise, yes. player evaluation, recruiting and improvement, yes. adjusting strategy to suit a team's particular makeup, yes. gameplanning for a particular playoff opponent, yep. making adjustment between games in series, yep. making adjustments at halftime, sometimes ok. making adjustments within a game, mmm.

    drawing up single plays ... nah not his bag baby.

    Easily one of the worst. If the Spurs are down 3, you can pretty much book it that he's going to sit his best 3 point shooters in that situation.

    I think there was one time Pop had 3 centers in during a similar spot so they can set screens.

    Honestly, dont even ing call a play, just give it to dumbass Bryn and let him shoot off the dribble, it's going to be better than any garbage that the old man will draw up....

    You don't have to be a ing genius to put your best 3 point shooters in the game when you need a 3 to tie it.

    I’m always expecting them to either turn it over or not even get a good shot off. 99% of the time it’s the case.

    Pop is terrible at playoff and any sort of in-game adjustments tbh.

    pretty clear to anyone with eyes that Udoka drew up the play

    Pop giving Udoka a "teaching moment" in a crucial road game, that is terrible tbh

    Bertans was making the inbounds pass with 0.7s on the clock, so the one guy who can shoot over anyone would have no chance to shoot

    Give him a ing play call in the 2nd quarter then...but seriously that was a Pop out of bounds play to the tee....I'm surprised he didn't take Bryn out and put in Quincy because he's a good screensetter. Straight garbage out of timeouts.

    You mean having the best 3 point shooter in the world (statistically) be the inbounder is a bad play call? Or was it us throwing a lob pass to the shortest person on our team not named Mills? Tbh Pop used to have amazing out of bounds plays, but now he sucks. I can't really think of an all-time coach though who is amazing at them. Jackson basically gave the ball to Michael and Kobe and said go win it.

    Seriously.

    , even if they even get a shot off it almost feels like a moral victory.

    Is a 29 point loss to Orlando bad? Haven't you noticed he's a bit more salty than usual?

    More than half the teams don't even run plays out of timeout. They just inbound the ball. That eliminates 15 coaches right away. Those who do run plays out of timeout often have a superstar to go to. We don't have Manu or Tony now, and Pop has always been a great "out of timeout" play guy. The highlight reels are full of those kinds of plays that won games for us, big games in fact. So I'd say Pop ranks near the top all time, and this one game isn't the deciding factor regardless how got neophyte trolls like you want to pretend it is.

    Didn't Becky draw up that play with 7 seconds left?

    Forbes would have had a decent shot if DeRozan would have actually gotten him the ball.

    having only Forbes as a 3 point specialist with 7 seconds to go ... that was a mistake ... Bertans was not on the bench for the final play so once again OP shows he has nothing of value brought to the table

    And BTW Messina made a career with creative last-shot plays...

    Still, hard to make a three with Bertans, Beli, (Mills) benched.

    I thought the line up should've been Forbes/Mills/Belinelli/Bertans/Aldridge so you have 5 players out there who can shoot the 3 and just hope they make one

    Pop very rarely changes the lineup for a single play, even if its the last play of the game.

    Bertans went in the game for last play but he was the inbounder with 0.7 seconds. Pop should have loaded the floor with tall 3 point shooters... Bertans, Gay, Aldridge .... sucks.
