Shut the up.
the whole second half..
The result, a close comeback..
Until you have half as many championships as Pop, you can keep the coaching advice to yourself tbh.
True..it's crazy how much his game is hindered by the big 3's usage, tbh..
Pop is an idiot. Playing Manu could of cost us the game. Good thing Kawhi came in to save the day.
we all know it already tbh
just stop making 5 threads every game about it tbh tbh
Kid played his heart out
I like that Pop is managing the minutes this series while Stotts overplays his players. Those guys are going to tire out, and that's why the Spurs pull away in the fourth. I was at a restaurant (in Eugene, got cussed at a lot with my Duncan jersey on), and I just kept saying, Spurs need to weather the storm and Portland will tire down and cool off.
Manu kept the blazers in the game
He hit the big three to pretty much end it after Kawhi hit his big three. Manu did bad, but I got a feeling Manu and Parker are going to go off in game 3.
he'll play 40 minutes a game in the playoffs
Manu and Kawhi freakin ICED that game, tbh
A chunk of their run was with that gimmicky press. You can't maintain that for even one game, let alone over a series. To me, that was a white flag: "we can't beat you playing half court playoff basketball.".
PaulGarciaPS: “It’s Tony. They’re just trying to stop him, which frees up everything for the rest of us.” - Kawhi on what’s helping #Spurs offense.
No one is surprised, Pop did the same against OKC last RS game, he sat Leonard at start the 3rd quarter and the Thunder took +8 points lead...and that wasn't a good move.
You know Pop, that's never gonna happen
I know you're new to spurs basketball, but how long have been watching professional basketball?
The people say is baffling.
My post is full of truth. Manu led the Blazers comeback and Kawhi came in to hit some clutch shots to put the game away. What of that is not true?
Manu takes shots the other guys are scared to take. You need that leadership for the inexperienced players. Sometimes they go in, sometimes they don't, but atleast the shot is getting off instead of 5 frantic passes from people to scared of the moment. Manu can drive me crazy with his horrible TO induced decision making in setting up the offense sometimes...but never with wanting to take a shot. If it's open, take it. That's what you gameplan for. An open shot.
Once again.. Some people have no concept of coaching. We have a 20 pt lead. Why would you give the other teams scouting footage to go off of. These people geet paid thousands and millions of dollars to disect scouting footage. The less you give them, the less prepared they are. That is why, even when we don't have great athletes, the spurs suprise the out of teams and put them in shock constantly. Pop is a great coach and definitely a great strategic mind.
Just like he kept belli out even though beli was doing good. Why the would you help prepare your oppnonent or next opponent more, when you can limit it. It's a luxury that he takes serious.
Coaches understand these concepts. Fans not so much. When you get paid to do something, you're usually seeng things differently than the average joe. Keep that in mind....Joe.
Manu played like . You see what you want to see, Joe.
You said "Pop is an idiot" - think about that.
