Pop was piss and vinegar today. He was chewing out Artest at one point in the game.
From the kings board
"Bruce Bowen just showed a lot of class in the post-game interview with Koz.
Even he commented that Nazr was way out of line in shooting that three. I would honestly not be surprised to see Pop take some kind of action against him.
I will give credit again. Pop had his team out and ready to play. Bowen made a good point, however. "We didn't do anything yet. A team in the playoffs is supposed to win on their home court."

It's funny because, they showed a view of the bench and I saw a number of Spurs players laughing and joking when that happend, Bruce included............
They were laughing about how red Pop was going to turn.
Nazr took a 3? That's awesome. Not something to do in a playoff game, mind you, but funny.
Nasty was wide open, doesn't he have a right to take that shot
I'm watching FSN and Pop just dodged that question.
Sometimes these player don't think when caught up in the moment.
Poor Nazr was damned if he did or damned if he didn't.
Go Spurs!
Nazr is going to take that shot. It's a low percentage shot with the shot clock winding down and nobody bothering to guard him. He made the shot and got back on defense. If he'd cracked a smile maybe you could reprimand him for it. He didn't. If anybody on the Kings had a lick of heart there would have been someone at least trying to guard him.
ya, but did you notice nazr's reaction after he took it, he sheepishly looked straight over to the bench like oh sh#! it went in...sorry pop
why should nazr be held accountable for it? the only person to blame, is the moron who didnt defended him or hacked him from puttin up the last 3
, they won by 34 and we're arguing?
Who asked him about it? I'm curious as to why anyone would think it matters. No wonder people say the Spurs are boring; they don't even talk about basketball after a performance like that!
Shooting a three pointer with no time left is one thing, having to shot becuase the shot clock is about to expire is another.
I thought the shot clock was not low, did they just not get pass half court and he got the pass and shot?
I thought it was funny as tho.
SHooting a 3 up 31 is bush league.
Pop has every right to be pissed about it.
i like pop and the whole spurs strict "regime" but this was too much
poor nazr![]()
this is stupid, if pop says anything it should be in passing, no need to get all morally disgusted
0:39 Udrih Rebound (Off: Def:2)
0:25 [SAS 122-88] Mohammed Jump Shot: Made (18 PTS)
Assist: Udrih (4 AST)
It's a 14 second clock now? I guess I'd have to see the replay. Seemed early.
What did Artest have to say in the press conference??
attention: artist say in the press conf.>>>>>WERE THE FIRST TEAM TO REST.LOL!
I think Nazr just got caught up in the moment ... and not a big deal. It's funny because when I'm only 1/2 paying attention I mistake Nazr for Finley all of the time ... I did on that play too until I saw User laughing and screaming his name.
Awesome avatar, btw ... welcome to the forum!![]()
Thanks for the welcome spurswoman. I don't usually post but this is my first year being in san antonio for the entire season and the post season.
I don't know which reporter asked Pop the question but as usual he is all business.
Yea, Pop should let him be. MSNBC.com said that his first 3 of his career, let him enjoy it. Even tho I really get upset with his hands/turnovers allot.
4th Quarter
7:01 73-107 Brent Barry makes 25-foot three point jumper (Beno Udrih assists)
6:33 73-107 Nick Van Exel misses 24-foot three point jumper
3:09 82-118 Nazr Mohammed makes slam dunk (Beno Udrih assists)
1:46 86-118 Brent Barry misses 24-foot three point jumper
0:25 88-122 Nazr Mohammed makes 24-foot three point jumper (Beno Udrih assists)
Ok, Why is it just Nazr that gets the brunt of the wrath? None of the threes were necessary. Yes he took the shot with very little time left, but he probably figured the chance that he would make it were much less than if he had shot it from say 10 ft.
Showing up an opponent is never good. If the Kings come back and win Game 2, Nazr looks awfully stupid.
