Pop can build a team of losers into a good team. Kawhi acts like a typical pop player but wanted star treatment. The Spurs aren't likely to get stars, but for good sakes if we do, please don't be mute
Coaching is overrated in today's NBA, or maybe it always has been. If anything Pop just gets in the way tbh.
Pop is bigger than the Spurs now. Too big.
clown to buzy chasing his own records and coaching team usa
doubt he cares if the spurs will ring again, he clearly needs to go
rather spend next few years tanking and building the roster up again with new mindset
Bunch of ungrateful fans after 22 years playoff appearance, 5 rings. Geez
We're all grateful for Duncan and Parker. The ungrateful fans are the short Mexicans that wish the worst for FMVP Kawhi
You are the epitome of an ungrateful fan, newbie
You stand by your record
Congrats kawhi for the championship. But that LOB will be back in San Antonio in a few years. GO SPURS GO! Pop still the GOAT![]()
I'm just so baffled. People on here act like Pop has never won anything with this franchise.
We are truly the ONLY franchise in the last 2 decades that has won championships with core players they drafted and developed. None of our championships have been with any major Free Agent signings. We have earned our championships and not traded for them or purchased them through free agency. And for all his faults, Pop still has a big role in those championships for he helped in developing the core.
I don't know what people expect? They expect the Spurs to throw away years of culture they have cultivated internally within the organization to obey one player and his entourage and do everything to keep him happy. Guess what? Even if they had submitted to his wishes and given him whatever he wanted, a couple of years later he would have come up with something else to be unhappy about. It's just the way it goes with drama queens. Once you give in, it never stops.
I have been mad at pop on many occasions for his head scratching coaching decisions. But every ing coach would make decisions that only they can rationalize and which in hindsight were stupid moves. But that doesn't mean we discredit everything else he has done for the franchise.
Is Pop perfect? No. Will firing Pop change the way Spurs are run? No.
People expect a 70 year Pop who has nothing left to prove, and now coaches that way, and throws money at undeserving players that way, to just ing retire already. It’s not that hard to understand.
It’s just time to move on. It cost the Spurs Kawhi. You know, the dude that just won another championship tonight.
theres nothing ungrateful if ur not loyal...
u participate in sports, theres a winner every year, u compete every year to win
if ur not competing to win, then wtf are you competing in compe ive sports as a career? go play recreational sport or some where everyone gets a participation award handed to them if that is the standard u want...
I wonder if Bud was the coach if things would have been different with Kawhi. The league in it's current state seems too different for Pop. Players control everything. But he signed an extension so I guess he feels different.
Send Kahwi to Orlando and see if he rings
Everyone knows Players are more important than coaching in nba..
Great.
Who do you want who is better and available?
Raptors needed to add 2 Spurs so they could win their first ring in franchise history. Says more positive about Pop's philosophy than anything. All the Raptors talking about #2's leadership when he's just saying what Pop was preaching to him since he came to San Antonio pretty much confirms that
A coach, hopefully.
But most probably not. Next HC will be a pinko female.
Fair enough. I'm with you on that. Pop should retire. My point was more about whining how Pop drove Kawhi away. Like I said, you can't let one player control the franchise to his whim. Look what happened to LeBron. He ruins organizations that he goes to due to endless drama. As great as he is, there is always turmoil in the franchises he goes to. And even after being given full control on coaching selections etc, he still ing changes teams every few years. Do you really want to be a franchise constantly living in the fear of losing your best player?
Players control the league. But doesn't mean it's healthy.
I feel for Timmy, he could have been with at least 8 rings right now and the consensus goat if not for Pop...
always been and always will be about the players, but in SA the loss of the true pillar of the franchise (Timmy) has shown all our faults (including Front Office)
Irrelevant, Durant had the second best roster in all years on okc and did not have the ability to win, Shaq needed Kobe and Wade, Jordan needed Pippen, Rodman, Kukoc. Bird needed a legendary roster, Kareem needed Oscar, and Magic with the most talented roster in the game's history, Lebron needed to be GM throughout his prime to get the chance to make the playoffs, big players need talent all around
