Pop: F
https://www.spurstalk.com/grades-san...-march-6-2020/
tl;dr: The Spurs forgot to show up for their scheduled game.
A good leader is the one that knows how to take his followers to the glory and the one that knows when to quit and accept his time has come.
This team needs a new coach, new energy to help the young rise and adapt fast when results don't show.
Pop must go...
The team's energy show's it clearly.
This team is not "this bad".
I love the fact that Murray took 16 shots... He needs to shoot at least 16 a game... We usually win when he does... But ur right with it being a shy, hesitant 16... Murray plays like he doesn't think he is good... Like he doesn't belong... It's when he plays like an Alpha, his shots usually hits... I'm not mad at missed shots... He could have missed all 16 for all I care .. bit don't let it be a pussified 16 shots... If anything drive it to the basket if the jumper is off
Thanks for the writeup. Forbes at the 3 worked out well .....for the Nets. Blown out in the first 5 minutes. I didn't watch much until garbage time and liked the rooks.
Unfortunately with Walker injury adding to Poeltl, Forbes will continue to start because we don't have a SF. For two years, no SF.
How can you give him an F? Everyone on here has been clamoring for Murray and White, and now we see why it can't happen. Offense is terrible, and D (apparently) isn't what we thought as well.
Not that Pop deserves a passing grade, but its like complaining about a music DJ who plays the setlist you gave him. This is what you wanted....
Thanks for the grades as always OP. As I missed the game, they are much appreciated.
KJ already looks like our best young guy. Wish Lonnie was that aggressive, and DJ finished at the rim that well, and Luka had his fire, and....
Forbes at SF can explain a lot of what went wrong as the other players tried t cover for him. It is amazing how much better the Spurs might be without Forbes.
Strange how he is so inconsistent. More like a bench guy than a guy going to get paid $14m per.
Some games dejounte will attempt 5 shots, some games he will attempt 15. They gotta have him attempt a cool 12 a game consistently
I am pretty sure no one else wanted the other 3 players who are at the very best are adequate playing D at their own position, now playing up 1 or 2 position.
Thanks for thewrite up, I saw nobody earning higher than a F though. I was hoping Popovich would get himself tossed after his 1st technical and finally let Becky coach.
This game must be the reason Pop won't start Murray and White. Forbes should never be a starter, let alone playing the 3. This team needs better overall spacing from it's perimeter players..
I actually starting to think we need a fire side sale and get rid of everyone I am talking a total rebuild from top to bottom.
Pretty obvious that poop has lost the team. The old dudes don’t care and the young dudes are disillusioned. And poop’s pet has regressed even below his pitiful standard.
Only one person is responsible for that-poop. The sooner poop is excised the sooner the recovery begins.
You have options though. It blows my mind how Pop doesn't conceive any other options than Forbes starting the game, even if it means playing an already height and size-disadvantaged player in a different position than their own. For starters you can go with the young trio at the 1-3... Could they possibly lose the game any worse than yesterday? You could throw in Patty at the 2 with DJ at the 3, or you could even be y and get Weatherspoon at the 2 for some added size and playmaking. Or better yet, you could trade for an actual SF and stop playing guys out of position...
...What? You mean the trade deadline has already passed...?
Imagine...
if pop had started the season playing white/murray together
with lonnie starting over forbes
and had just allowed them to fail a bit, regroup, play better
hit the rookie wall
kept improving
now those 3
alongside LMA & DDR
might look like a team
add in metu playing off the bench all year with keldon
but pop is too old school for this...
Season’s officially over. Time to just start giving the rooks some run.
Forbes at SF
Doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result is the true definition of insanity. Yet Pop still doesn't get an F?
Of course this happens. Finally Murray and white start but not in place of Forbes lol it includes Forbes cause the team revolves around him.
yeah it would make zero sense to start White, Murray, DeRozan, Gay, Lyles instead
Should have traded murray when he was living his best life on ig. Scrub
