up... like hes going to listen to a nobody. get over it... the suns d sucks.. and we'll make a comeback, its only the third for christs sake.
Parker ed up half of our possessions in the third, and you leave him in, sub Manu out (who actually hit a three).
You watch Phoenix go on a 10-0 run without even thinking about a timeout.
And you do it all with your hands in your pockets.
Come on Pop, wake up.

he still had a ty lineup in there
Yeah, it's only the third. And we went from leading by 7 to down 7, and gave the Phoenix offense a chance to get clicking.
Tell me how that's a good thing.
Ginobili played 5 minutes of the quarter, got to shoot the ball once. Meanwhile, Parker started out the quarter by going 0-6, 2 turnovers, while Pop stood by and didn't sub for him or call a timeout.
Parker played all but 24 seconds of a quarter that saw us smoked by 14 points.
You don't let a team that thrives on offensive rhythm find its rhythm, or you're asking to lose.
I was very surprised he let Phoenix get up by 10pts or so before calling a timeout.
Kind of uncharacteristic. I didn't like Pop's advice to his team instructing them to play "just enough to win".
What is THAT about???
Play "just hard enough to win"???
I don't know about you, but if we have to go to Phoenix and then come back to the SBC center, it could be just like Derek Fisher's 0.4 seconds.
Pop, do some coaching and close this thing out or else we could be making history as the only team to lose a series being up 0-3.
yeah
it is tony's fault that pop kepted playing him
it is tony's fault big dog's mom died
it is tony's fault spurs put devin brown on the playoff roster when he has no legs and is useless
and it is tony's fault spurs are shotting 50% from the strip
and I posted in the game blog how effective beno was in the first half
Who cares about the first half?
Manu was effective in the first, and Pop seems to think that means he's better off on the bench.
Face it, tonight we are being treated to one of those vintage Gregg Popovich moments where he out thinks himself, makes dumbass subs utions all night long, and we are left scratching our heads.
Ducks, none of those have anything to do with Tony continuously taking bad shots, but I guess you've gotta pull some out of your ass when you don't have a valid argument.it is tony's fault that pop kepted playing him

While we are at it quit giving Tim the Dam ball tonight, MANU ISOLATION TOP OF KEY PLEASE POP
I love amateurs trying to be coaches
Spurs in 5. Give credit to the Pheonix Suns---who by the way are a great team despite what you may think---62 wins. You really thought they would just roll over and get swept?
1parker1,
I love it when players go 0-6, 2 turnovers, and turn a 7 point lead into a 10 point hole.
I like Parker, but he played like in the third when the game was on the line.
Amateur or not, he sucked that quarter.
I also think Popovich did not have a good coaching game tonight. If they win, they get to rest for a week, so why not keep Ginobili in the game to guarantee a victory? And I don't understand if the Spurs just could not slow down the tempo or if they thought they could keep up with the Suns, but the fast tempo benefited the Suns a lot in the third especially.
Of course, I would expect this from AHF...
I didnt read any of the posts, but I just gotta ask, do you have to start a "Pop call out" thread after every loss!! I know you hate him, but man, bump one of you 500 other anti pop thread, dont start another one. If you do, at least be consintant and start a pro-Pop thread after everywin. But your right, Pop sucks. He made Tim miss so many free throws. What a pathatic coach!
I'm sorry, let me try again.Of course, I would expect this from AHF
It was pure genius having Manu sit on the ing pine while Tony pissed the game away.
Better?
Just be consistant!
If your gonna destroy Pop when he does bad, at least give him love when he does well!
We are up 3-1!!
Something like that....
AHF HAS EVERY RIGHT TO COMPLAIN ABOUT POP AND I HATE IT WHEN HE DOES.
I gave him a lot of props after the last two games when he put the ball in Manu's hands at the end of the fourth.If your gonna destroy Pop when he does bad, at least give him love when he does well!
We are up 3-1!!
At the same time, some of you seem to think Pop deserves all the credit when the Spurs win.
In that case, you all need to look in the ing mirror and realize he deserves some blame when the Spurs lose, instead of your constant "Spurs win, it's all because of Pop's greatness, Spurs lose, it's all because of the players" bull .
Sometimes Manu is too tired to keep playing -- that's why he gets subbed out.
Parker sucked, but give JoJo some credit on D. The reason the Spurs lost was not because of the refs, Pop's subs, or anything else but 48% free throw shooting.
Relax yourselves.
yeah, GRob was going to save our asses tonight.
I don't think Nazr played but maybe 2 minutes of the fourth. Horry got the rest of the run, and was tugging at his shorts the last two minutes when we needed him the worst.
Also, Beno played well tonight, but didn't even see the court in the third while Pop pissed away the lead.
Bad subs utions.
Kori:
Pop made some really bad subs uitions. I agree with AHF.
Nevertheless, FTs were THE main reason we lost.
