Pop does
Even down 15.
The Rockets is one of those teams that can completely get cold in 3-4 minute stretches.
Inexcusable.
Pop wants them to obliterate us and use that as motivation.
I think we were down 14
thats a ing crime against not only the spurs, but NBA fans watching the game and buying the products etc
He actually gave up after 3 quarters. Kawhi sat with 3 mins left in the 3rd. Normally he'd have been in to start the 4th. this coach, man.
I couldn't believe how awful we were defensively in the paint. Rockets will hit from downtown, but that was one of the worst defensive performances I've ever seen from a Pop team in the playoffs. Many Spur fans were arrogant after Game 3, but the Rockets should be able to hit from outside from often than not that you could definitely see Rockets in 6 if they can win the next game.
That's even worse.
cue the ing idiots that will defend this
Pop has an older team -- the worst possible result is to expend a lot and lose with the games every other day now.
Better this than a close loss with all the starters wearing themselves out with big minutes.
this POS coach, seriously...32yo Lebron just played 46 minutes with his team up 3-0 in the series and this senile got is saving 25yo Kawhi for what?
Wow.
Just
Wow.
Awful because Aldridge was getting abused on D out there for the entire 3rd qtr and pop didn't pull him.
Get him off the team please.
Maybe because they played like they were tired? I don't think he should've taken them out but damn they played slow. I kind of like them having to sit there and think about how ty they played.
At least he brought in Dedmon and Bertans to experience blowout defeat.![]()
Saying I dont think he should've taken them out is defending this? FkLA seems like a huge idiot if he can't put that together.
It's a fairy standard approach (but not "fan friendly").
Again. Not defending but I think the mentality is he doesn't see the team coming back and winning. I think he thinks it's better for our bench players to lose than our starters so that it'll instill some doubt in the other team like "maybe we wouldn't have won if he would've kept them in." I don't agree but that's the only thing I can see. That our he just thought they were tired.
In the playoffs? Are you serious? D'Antoni had his starters in longer and they were the ones with the lead.
i'm sure that's not demoralizing at all
cue the idiots who think otherwise. look, the spurs cut it down and every time the rockets fought them off and got it to the teens. kl wasn't looking great, the ball movement sucked, and the d was lazy.
now, pop should have played some different bench guys. I would have liked if dedmon bertans and Forbes played real minutes.
