Timvp better grade Pop an A tonight

[gospursgojas]

Awesome coaching job

Switched Green on Ellis when he was lighting us up

Left Green in

Left Tj in

Tore up Tony verbally

He was a terror the entire 4th quarter on the sideline. Looked inspired once again.

after tony made that teardrop, and pop was yelling at him, was it good yelling or bad yelling?

4th quarter pop goes into CIA mode...been waiting for this since our last championship.....

[gospursgojas]

after tony made that teardrop, and pop was yelling at him, was it good yelling or bad yelling?

It was kinda both. I was like a "thats what how I want you to play every ing game you french piece of !" yelling.

Seriously, if you didnt watch the game, hopefully you can find the vid somewhere. Pop not only laid into Tony put grabed his face and shoved him around a bit. IT WAS AWESOME.

[Robz4000]

Could this be the old Pop making a reappearance? Hope it happens more often this season.

[Bender]

I did watch the game, and yeah it looked bad to me... But on the post game show, they were acting like it was an "encouragement" pep talk type of thing...

[Bill_Brasky]

It was the most animated I've seen Pop in a really long time. Great call on the hack-a-Kwame at the end too.

[ggoose25]

without ginobili, pop does more of the fire and brimstone. i like it

i think it was for bad play b4 that last basket he made, i think it was 2 bad plays he made...

Sean and Land said something like Pop was pissed about Tony slowing the game down, and then yelled at him to run the out. of the ball. Tony did that the very next play and hit the teardrop... so Pop was giving him a congratulatory reaming for applying his coaching.

[Magua]

He better give an A to the officials too for giving the spurs the boost they needed in the 4th

Looked like a "That's how the you play. If I see you slow the ing ball down again, I'm going to CIA your ass to ing Milwaukee" type of pep talk.

[itzsoweezee]

Doubling teaming Monta from the baseline was genius. The Warriors were out of sync when Pop started doing that. Duncan's return to form on defense helped a lot too.

[timvp]

I should go change Pop's grade so it doesn't look like I was pressured into that A.

But yeah, regarding whether Pop was angry at Parker or was encouraging him, I'd say he was mostly angry. TP was just playing so damn stupidly that Pop almost imploded. Thankfully for TP, he hit that last shot before coming off the court or else Pop would have Bobby Knight'ed him.

And yes, it was really cool to see a flashback of 52-year-old Pop tonight rather than 62-year-old Pop.

[gospursgojas]

Tony laughed it off of course.

A few plays later during a Kwame Brown free throw, Pop again yelled at Tony to get in position to box out his man ON THE 3 PT LINE. Tony gave a look to Tj who was also on the perimeter, like "are listening to this madman?" LOL

Lo and behold...Kwame missed and the rebound came out almost past the freethrow line. Rj ended up getting the board...but Pop knew whats up.

I just wonder how long until this becomes the next Taco Cabana commercial. I mean, when't the last time Pop came off the bench like that? Dice tipin in LA? Someone post it.

[TDMVPDPOY]

pops outburst

imo some of players have gotten past that, but in all seriousness, i hope the players are serious when pop goes out like that then shoving it off as nothing...cause every game is serious business...

looks like pop doesnt wanna tank this season, if we continue to pull out wins like this, hard fought wins

[The Truth #6]

Great to see Pop explode on Tony, because Parker was completely out to lunch this game. For example, the hack-a-Kwame play...you know it's bad when Richard ing Jefferson makes the right play while Tony seemed to be intentionally fouling the wrong player.

Tony needed to step up big this game with the obvious hole left with Manu out. Instead, Parker isn't seen until the last few minutes of the game, and that's with Pop riding has ass. Horrible leadership by Tony. I'm not a fan of one player over another...but Tony made the wrong statement in this game. TJ Ford was doing his best Speedy Claxton impersonation out there to try and save the game.
