TJastal owning in this thread. Funny how fools pretend to misinterpret what the main idea was, and that's that Pop was playing too much Bonner ball, we asked for Splitter because Splitter was riding the pine more than he should have and Bonner was known to stink it up in the Playoffs.
We wanted the "OLD" Pop back who focused on Defense and not over-used Bonner ball in the post-season, it was a Big issue (primarily Defensive driven Big), and a focus on D in general. Now, whether it be Diaw, Splitter, whatever, Pop DID make that change in the starting lineup, and it was the Lakers game that convinced him to finally make that change, regardless of the nonsensical banter going on here.
As far as I know, we all want the Spurs to win here, so it's funny how butthurt these morons actually are. For morons to come in here and act like Pop never made a change, or that the change is not what we asked for, are simply just fools and are obviously out to prove something else, because their ego's are hurt it appears.
He did make a change. It was for the better and it appears he is coaching like he used to during Championship runs, and that's what we asked for, at least I know that's what I wanted.
I'd like to see the morons criticize Timvp btw, because he has also in past seasons criticized Pop for Bonner ball, has said it doesn't seem like CIA Pop anymore, but rather WTF POP, in the past, etc. Even in of of these early playoff rounds he criticized Pop for not playing more Splitter with Tim in the reg season, and rightfully so. So have it. lol
Good thing is, Diaw is working out great, and Splitter is being utilized better, and success in these Playoffs has been great, and Bonners choke jobs haven't been able to harm us now, (although I do hope Bonner can catch fire soon). Pop looks to be back to how he "used" to be, let's hope it continues.
That Lakers beating the Spurs took was a blessing in disguise.
Thanks Pop for finally seeing the light.
Go Spurs!
