    Greg Pops

    If he loses- he isn't trying.
    If he wins- he is a great coach.
    When he rests players- he is being smart and saving his older guys.
    When he plays everyone he is experimenting but not really showing his cards.
    When he loses playing everyone ( he is doing a test)
    When he wins playing everyone( he has the best team and is smarter than everyone else).

    Let's not forget that the genius Greg Pops was 3 games behind the warriors for homecourt in the playoffs entering the game tonight( not sure if it had meaning since pop is playing starters) but if he had played his cards right he would have been 1 game behind but he conceded home court ages ago because it was more important to rest pro athletes for later on games( which might not even be played).

    He might get lucky and someone else could knock out state ( I hate both teams) but I would love to see state knock him and his old fogs out in game 7 at home.

    Nba is always about having game 7 at home.

    Greg pops.

    Couldn't disagree more. Spurs are going to win something like 68 games this season. Impossible to critique that. They couldn't quite keep pace with the team that's going to end up at least tying the 96 Bulls record.

    The spurs should have gotten the 1 seed. Or are the warriors just better?

    Let's get to the bottom line...

    POP HAS ZERO ANSWER HOW TO WIN IN GOLDEN STATE

    How did Popovich blow it? He conceded one game to the Thunder. They might not have won that anyway but either way it's one game. They weren't catching Golden State.

    Honestly this Spurs roster should have probably won 60 games at most. I'm surprised they won high 60s.

    Start at 1996 when he took over.... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_o..._Spurs_seasons

    Look at what they did in playoffs each year. And then tell me he's not an all-time great coach.

    5-1 in NBA Finals under him too.. that's pretty crazy, just realized

    what more can be said about this douchebag who single-handedly cost his team the 2013 finals against the Heat and then immediately celebrated with LeBrick on the court?

    Being the best coach in the nba and one of the best in history doesnt make every decision he makes flawless. He has coached teams that blew 2-0 leads, 3-1 leads, been upset by an 8 seed, lost a game 7 at home...all with championship caliber teams. Coaching has alot to do with these things just as much as the players do.

    Well to be fair, all of those things are the media's fault. I doubt he cares how people analyse his coaching depending on whether he rests players or doesn't.

    All I know is the whole concept of "the Spurs don't care about the regular season" is BS. But has Pop ever said that? That's also just something created by the fans and media. There's a difference between resting guys because they're old and not caring.

    LB, do the world a huge favor:

    1. Buy a bullet
    2. Borrow a gun, because we all know your broke ass can't afford one
    3. Put the bullet in the gun
    4. Put the gun in your mouth
    5. Pull the trigger

    Looks like both the Clips and Spurs are sitting everyone tonight.....

    From the early "doubtfuls", the Spurs might have to forfeit if they get into foul trouble.

    Time for the playoffs already.

    remember when the spurs looked like a well oiled machine couple years back? now they look a step slower.

    curry and thompson, two of the best shooters that's ever played the game and they're not ball hogs like kobe or jordan.

    i'm rooting for golden state to repeat!!!

    i like pop but fukk him for starting that resting the starter bullshit trend. making millions and taking rest days. only in mmmmmerica.

    Once again Greg pops wins tonight.

    If his team loses he didn't care and was trying to help kerr.

    If he wins he is a perfect home record coach.

    I love how literally any Pop strategy is ascribed to some inscrutable motivation we mortals can't possibly know.
