Interesting. Elaborate please?

Posting this before the game is over, tbh, because it doesn't matter... I'm officially in the camp that this guy mailed it in since 2014...
Some of the lineups he's sending out there, or resting guys fueling runs for the other team is inexcusable, IMO
Interesting. Elaborate please?
It was very strange seeing an out of rhythm Kyle Anderson on the floor in the 4th ahead of Manu, even if the latter wasn't feeling it..
I hate seeing West out there, but the alternatives are scarce, tbh..
Play Duncan... West is unplayable in this series
he hired becky. he was done
West lucked his way to a basket but he was rebounding poison all night.
Did he ever block anyone out?
Somehow Duncan, West, and Diaw are all liabilities. I would have expected West to do the best because he's not afraid to be physical and can hit a jumper. But he's too short to constantly battle Kanter and Adams and still doesn't quite fit in the flow of the offense with the starters.
If I see that Fatheaded again with his jersey shorts about 1 inch below his neck guarding Dominos tbh....
I'm sure glad nobody takes like this seriously...christ, lol.
Eh, he's still a top 3 coach and now he is a recruiter. The mack brown of coaches.
I don't ever want to see Fat Head woddle out there with his Bob Cousy shorts.
I don't think I can take it. You can keep Bonner for a decade Pop but please NO MORE Kyle.
Manu needs more minutes. 18MPG in the playoffs ain't enough
What do you do when too many players are playing poorly
you cant play kawhi/aldridge 48 mins
Duncan's length is valuable. Rebounding and rim protection. Westbrook has no fear of West whatsoever.
Of course we still need West, but Aldridge has got to have more help.
I was also mystified by some of the subs and I almost never 2nd guess Pop.
Pop has been done for quite a while as an in game coach, Imo.
He still is a huge influence to the team on how disciplined the team plays and the overall structure of the offense and defense though. Its impossisble to replace that.
The only other explantion I can think of for subin g kyle instead of Manu was to match Durants lenght.
West playing was to give kawhi and Aldridge more room.
we may survive this round, but his bull shtick won't fly against the Warriors...that's a 12-0 run, Game Over before you know it.
Yeah I honestly think someone like Stevens is definitely a better in-game coach than Pop at this point...but like you said, the other stuff that Pop does makes him invaluable.
Welcome to the club Nono...
I had the same reaction many of you all did tonight. I found myself screaming at the TV that Pop had no business putting the rotations he did out there. I mean, it was one of the worst coaching jobs I have seen from him.
Manu and Tim had just had 4 days off. They had to be as ready to play as they ever would be. Neither of them played as many minutes as they should have tonight. And I kept asking why in the was West out there for so long? He finally had one good basket, but mostly he was a liability. Duncan may be a liability, but not as much as West is.
I really really couldn't believe what Pop was doing tonight.
Yep..67-15 season and in the conference semifinals up 2-1, totally done coach, imho, tbh, iirc..
It's just basketball. Get a life.
Best coaching by POP this year, than I've ever seen in the NBA.
Completely changed the makeup of the team. Went from the "beautiful" game, to a more ISO game...and has had major SUCCESS doing it. Never seen such a transformation of a team in 1 year, ever. We look nothing like we have in previous years...and we set records doing it.
Threads like this makes me wonder if certain people have any understanding of basketball at all...sigh. lol
