Popovich will look extremely overrated as a coach if the Spurs lose this series

[SilkkTheShocker]

Stop this...

there are a handful of coaches that could have done the same thing

This.

[Just2McFly]

You can't really think that. Maybe one time, but name the coaches that you think could take this current Spurs roster to the WCF 3 consecutive years.

Riley
PJAX
Brown
Sloan


for starters

None of those coaches are active...

But they are "in this world" ...

smh at you

[Thunderstruck]

Are you insinuating Pop should jump on to the court and play 6th man?

I'm insinuating there's nothing he can do against a healthy thunder. If the spurs win this series it's because the thunder blew it.

All of them legends but all of them too old. Phill looked like he didn

[Spokelahoma]

i might be wrong, but the year before that they were eliminated as the #1 seed against the Grizz, and the year before that (maybe 2 years prior), they were eliminated in the 1st round against the 6th seeded mavs. if this was the kind of track record for the heat of thunder, their players/staff would of crucified, and their coaches would have been fired a while ago

Pop is the best active coach in the NBA today

[Upgrayedd]

I agree. Especially his mistakes in game 6 last season when he benched Duncan when they needed just one more rebound.

Thibs?

[oh the horror]

I dunno I feel like him throwing in the towel tonight was a bit much.

Actually I don't blame him for that one. The lead was almost 30 points by that time. The starters had to come out of the game. They were getting their asses kicked.

[poido123]

Expected to perhaps lose these two games and pull the players if the lead got too out of hand...

They will be fine, i expect them to bounce back next game.

[Lebron23]

Spo might surpass him if they heat wins an NBA title this year. Nah. OKC youth, length, and athletic ability bothered the Spurs.
