This thread getting bumped after each L the Spurs take
The funny thing is, dumbass mfers on this board were bumping this shyt when they were winning once upon a time, saying shyt like
"How could you ever doubt Pop, he can win with any sort of talent", "imagine thinking Pop has been left behind", "The Spurs system is the best in the league" etc. And now, when they're losing, it's
"the team has no talent", "you can't expect Pop to win with this team".
All these vague ass talking points from the very beginning, when really they're not even watching Spurs games. The Spurs have talent on this team, no less than other teams that have been managing to either win or actually look like they're building towards something. This team is
lost; they don't play for one another; they have no identity. Again, they're one of the lowest three-point volume teams in the league, they're out there running micro-ball lineups without any implementation of shooting. I've witnessed some horrible ATO plays, whether that is because the plays themselves are bad or there's a disconnect between Pop and the lineup on the floor. I've seen Pop bury talent on the bench. I've said Pop let the team fall into holes and not call timeouts out of some ploy to work them themselves out of it, but they just keep continuing to fall further and further into the abyss.
You have players that have gone onto to do better things since leaving. You have DeRozan actually attempting three-point shots and being successful with them on the Bulls, despite muh'fukkas in here saying the Spurs can't attempt more threes with DeRozan, and it's not Pop's fault he can't shoot them. Which is funny now because he upped his three-point take in Toronto, and now this season in Chicago, yet folks conveniently ignore all that.
DeRozan is leading Bulls to wins, looking better than ever, but you had nxggas in here saying Pop shouldn't be expected to win with him. Can Pop-coached teams only look like they're heading in the right direction with a Duncan-type player? If that's the case, than what does that say about his coaching?
Isn't he supposed to be this GOAT coach, why can other coaches have success with this personnel, and develop 3-pt shooting, and Pop can't? Why are folks excusing this? Why are saying he doesn't have talent, when once upon a time they were fawning over the notion Pop could win with any type of talent/personnel? If they perceive this team to have a lack of talent, why isn't that Pop's fault for not developing it? Why can't he get the most out of the talent he currently has?
All I see excuses from the usual suspects; the same people who ran up in here bumping this thread whenever the Spurs won.
Now, when they're losing, it's all....
