Overrated
What the F were you thinking in the 1st half?
Play your worst lineup possible? Mother of Gawd.
That first half rotation will go down right next to that time Pop took Bowen out of the game in Game 1 of the 2008 WCF as his low point as a human.
its like he chooses the opposite lineup ST recommends. does he think the thunder coaches are reading? we know ESPN is.
Thank you for reminding me![]()
I was shocked, still him. I know Duncan's foul trouble didn't help, but still, with Ibaka out with two fouls, no way Blair should be C with 4 guards. That's time to take advantage of Ibaka being out and go to the paint! That was horrible!
I actually said the words "turd towers" out loud during a playoff game. Jesus.
He's overrated. Lucky to have great players when his "system" fails him miserably and then he throws out awful lineups like did. Whatever the players gotta make the plays and most of them played like pussies
Pop is setting it up to coach the Lakers or the Knicks in 2013.
I did too...out loud...all by myself.
He just had to give Bonner at least some playing time.
He should have learned his lesson after Game 4. And even more fail was putting Bonner next to Blair.
Game plan for game 6 should feature a shortened rotation and continuous drives to the rim. But most importantly they need to be ready to play. Pop needs to lay into those who aren't playing to win.
Still haven't rang since PJ left.....just stating a fact.
Just wait until he opens up a bottle of Green Bonnerneal '12 before Game 6.
The Spurs might win a game if they go to a five or six man rotation, but they aren't winning a le that way. The MIA role players have to get their groove back or it's over. Pop should probably put Green back into the starting lineup and let that second unit that nearly beat Dallas play together and just let it fly. They've got nothing to lose but their unconfidence.
Pop trolling all the people that wanted Blair to play. He puts him in there with 4 guards giving him no opportunity to be successful.
"You don't want Bonner and do want Blair?...I'll give you Blair. Dejuan get in there...Patty Mills you too...Muggsy Bogues, Michael Adams, Spudd...all of y'alll, check in right now.
Don't you ever say that about Pop!

Bonner
If you think about it, it's even worse to think of the timing of the rotation out there on that pivotal juncture of an important game. Playing the turd towers after you've gone away from that move going on a couple of months.......just it, tbh.
Not his best work tonight. I knew there was trouble when Bonner and Blair were reunited on the court in the Conference Finals.
I know it was only a short time but when Pop had Blair, Bonner and Neal on the court at the same time, my first response was "Season Over". I mean, damn, we literally were laughing earlier this season at how that threesome is the worst defensive threesome ever assembled.
And Pop is going to play those three together.
In the first quarter.
Of a must win game.
In the Western Conference Finals.
In their final shot to win a championship.
Maybe ever.
And he pulls out Turd Towers + Neal.
You got to be got damn got damn got damn kidding me.
By comparison, when Pop put Blair next to four midgets it didn't look that bad.

Pop set the panic tone for the game with that line-up. It seeped into the players heads except for Manu and Jax.
Pop is great coach with four rings. I'm not taking anything away from him, but man he does not know how to make adjustments. Never has.This is why Phil Jackson only lost to him once, when Duncan put the team on his back. Phil could adjust, Pop couldn't.
I did laugh heartily![]()
