Popovich's team couldn't even run a successful in bounds play at the end of the game. He must be a terrible coach
Could be. We never really got a great view of it.
Its pathetic how much this post has made me laugh. So much said in so few words...Popovich's team couldn't even run a successful in bounds play at the end of the game. He must be a terrible coach
Complete opposite of Klay Thompson. Amazing in a sick selfish kinda way.
I am both amazed by how much Harden scores and sickened by how selfish of a player he is and how the refs bail that dude out more than anyone in the history of basketball.
It amazes me how they never have him run off of curls to free him up. It would seem so much easier than his one on one Brandon Roy-eque style. But shit, it works.
Good. I really want the 2 seed. Need a nuggets losing streak.
Oh so you’re saying if a team is missing key players, they aren’t as good and are more apt to lose?
Pop's answer was "Because I didn't want to go into overtime." Ouch.
Not sure I'd necessarily call Mo a "key" player this season sir.
Our starting SF for 3 years....a guy who has held Paul George to 2 pts in the 4th qtr with lock down defense......I'd say he's a key player until I saw Jake fill in...Jake was an asset over that stretch..your core starting lineup for all practical purposes should be your key players eh?
If only it wasnt a fluke.Popovich's team couldn't even run a successful in bounds play at the end of the game. He must be a terrible coach
Pops has been known to sit his best 3 players against good teams and lose games because of it...he's unconventional to say the least but his team is never gassed come playoff time and his bench is in game shape
5 championships gives him the benefit of the doubt.
That's not what happened here. He sat DeRozen for the final play because DeRozen is a bad three point shooter.
I didn't say it was a "bad" thing...just unconventional
He rested Parker, Ginobli and Duncan against Lebron, Wade and Bosh in Miami..lost the game
He sat those guys for the whole game. Pop just sat DeRozen for the last play even though he had scored 26 in the game. DeRozen was benched for being a bad three point shooter.
I haven't seen much of this season's Spurs since DeRozen
