That's Pop. Always teaching, coaching, pushing and demanding their best.
Forbes wouldn't have an NBA career without Pop, and he brought Mills up from being a bench-warmer in Portland to one of the best sixth men in the NBA.
That's Pop. Always teaching, coaching, pushing and demanding their best.
Now both are NBA champions.
So....what exactly is your point, again?
1. Thanks for validating my point. Not that it needed any.
2. Best 6th man in NBA
Mark Madsen is a threepeat NBA Champion.
Oh you sniffers.
2 to Tie!
3 to be the GOAT!

I'm gonna guess March 12 vs Indy or March 16 vs OKC will be the record breaker
ill say 7th or 9th,la or tor
The three-time NBA coach of the Year is one of just six coaches to have worked more than 2,000 regular season games and 26 seasons or more. His career win percentage of .659 is the best in that group."
Hopefully he gets his record, then calls off the dogs, and benches Dejounte. But that probably isn’t happening.
Nope. I agree with others that Pop may not be throwing his best and brightest lineups out there in a subtle tank, but he still strikes me as a "let the cards fall as they may" type.
True. I’m just saying that, uhh, Joe Wieskamp is working hard and deserves extended minutes!
Yes...that's the ticket.
I'm really intrigued by that Jones / Primo / Cakoc / KBD / Landale lineup. Let's see lots more of that!
You want DJ gone? DJ's a fighter and won't quit... DJ would ask for a trade if Pop benched him like that.
Yea not happening sadly. Pop cares too much about optics and his own personal record and all that to purposely tank. He's gone in a couple years so roster turnover isn’t his problem. He’s been way more engaged on the sidelines in the past 10–15 games or so than he was early on in the season. You can tell that he really wants that record now that it’s getting close. Like a hungry dog chained to a fence with a full bowl of food 10 feet away from him.
Not gone. But at least ease up his minutes once Pop has the record.
How about Bryn, Patty, Beil, Derozan and Gay.I'm really intrigued by that Jones / Primo / Cakoc / KBD / Landale lineup. Let's see lots more of that!
This is what's so cool about tossing around the GOATs numerous genius strategies.
Optics? No, this isn't about optics. Popovich legitimately does not agree with the idea of tanking. He's not putting on a show for anyone.
Glad to see you missed me, bby. Living rent free in your head at this point
Can't wait until the next time you @ me
That’s what I meant. He legitimately thinks it’s a bad look. He doesn’t agree with it, especially considering the run he’s had in his career
He doesn't care how it looks. Can you not get out of the frame of mind that people aren't always motivated by how things look to others?
Not sure what people don't understand about this.
You don't go from being nearly the winningest coach in NBA history to suddenly being a tank commander. That has never been in his DNA, and it's not going to change now.
He cares about the guys as both players and people. He cares about the future of their careers. He realizes that the future of their entire lives is more important than being a few more percentage points closer to a better draft pick.
He's going to continue to develop and let them play...then once he retires we can bring back Del Negro or whatever and watch this team really suck.
isn't also one of the proven GOATest tankers
You're my #1 paying customer.
Call it charityI can add it to my tax deductions
He doesn’t dislike it because it’s a bad look, he dislikes it because it’s hard to undo. OKC looks like because none of their players give one, or is likely to anytime soon.
