    man I love how Pop never complains about the refs. Tonight would have been a perfect excuse to make a bad comment on the refs but he didn't take the bait. He said everything that happened in the game was because of the Mavericks. Gotta love Pop for not being a whiny ass.

    Actually he shoulda ing called them out. This team only seems to get up to play when its backs are against the wall.

    What better way to get ready for Saturday than telling your team that it's them versus the Mavs, everyone at the AAC, and the league office?

    The refs didn't account for 20 point lead, they missed alot of open looks, and should have only lost by 7 or less with the 8-5 treatment. After all last time the refs gave them the calls in the POs against the Spurs they only won by one

    dude, give Pop the benefit of the doubt, at times he seems like he's not doing what he should, but he knows better. You and I both know he knows what he's doing way better than any of us. Let's just hope it works just like it has so many times before.... i get tired of tempting fate like this...

    Well, my thread got deleted so I guess I'll post it here:

    On offense I think Pop is great at designing plays (especially late in the game) and also making adjustments from game to game, but is horrible at making in-game adjustments, I say that because it seems to me that he does not vary from the game plan very much, which I can't argue with considering our success. With that said, we all know that Pop stresses defense (understatement), but I am curious how everyone would rate Pop as an offensive and defensive coach on a scale from 1-10 on each.

    What pissed me off was Avery congratulating and patting Terry on the head after he hit that last three. WTF? Real classy, AJ. Between him and Josh Howard, they have enough lips and assholes to make a case of hotdogs.

    Pop keeps his money, but that's just for the media.

    If you watch Pop during games, you absolutely know he disagrees with officials a lot of times the way he yells at them or will walk up to them in a timeout and start arguing.

    I believe he's one who believes it does no good to try to influence officials through the media and all it does is take money out of his pockets.

    I don't think that necessarily means Pop believes what he says when he does make no comment about officials in the media.

    i think he sets a strong example for his players to follow - don't about the officials to the media. it's a remarkably different strategy than, say, p jackson.

    what about you insert oberto for a hard foul to devin harris. I know that pop will not adjust during a game, send a message, do something.

    Your thread didn't get deleted, it got merged with the Game 3 adjustments/Time for Pop to Step up thread.

    Cuban and AJ both ed about game 1. How much were they fined? Zero, and they came to SA with three refs in their pocket tonight. Yeah, talk about taking money out of their pockets
