Spurs have the best coaching staff, GM in the league. Popovich, Buford The Coaching staff have players respect and how to coach this team properly.
If you get a Kawhi from the 15th pick and even if you see it as a minor failure because Uncle Dennis and him split. They got a championship and FMVP out of that.
I don't know about all that and I find most of the past irrelevant with this team. I told people that before Harden the Rockets were perennial 9th seed or worse. Losing Harden was going to send this franchise back to the bare minimal. ________________________ Rockets used Lin/Asik to get Harden to get Dwight Howard Now they hope to train up Jalen Green/Sengun/Tate/Kenyon to attract better players...... while having a shot at Banchero, Chet, Patrick Baldwin, AJ Griffin, Peyton Watson, Caleb Houstan.
Shoulda-coulda-woulda......if it's Pops and the system then why aren't Murray, Lonnie Walker turned into the next "bum to MVP" like he did with Kawhi. 4 years later in the league. Your theory doesn't hold water. Maybe more credit should go to the player than to the coaches. If we give coaches all the credit for turning a raw player into an MVP type caliber player.... Then the same can be true for blaming a coach for NOT turning raw players into an MVP type caliber player.
Spoiler I pour my inner heart out and that is just a theory to you? Listen, you are at least not a noob, if you root for a team and you do it with the heart, it is going to bleed. You can bet on it. This is not something you cannot explain with numbers. Disappointment is disappointmen, breh, just grow some Emotional IQ=EQ. Nothing personal like a beef or far fetched like a theory. Houston is the bigger market, they should be head n shoulders above San Antonio in the last decades. There is no theory about who won a championship more recently. (Tangible) @ApacheWarrior , listen, you got it all wrong, I was not hear to debate with you who is better, I am just venting lmao. If a championship does not sway you, I have nothing to say to you. (with respect)
So I see....Pops only has enough magic potion to bring the basketball world one Kawhi Leonard. David Robinson was a #1 pick 1st Rd followed by Tim Duncan #1 pick 1st Rd. They didn't just play 2 years each. Their reign in the NBA was greater than that. Timmi was still helping Parker and Ginobi getting adjusted to the NBA. Or did you forget about them? Conveniently. The master magician can't seem to recreate that magic so well with Dejounte Murray or Lonnie Walker....yet we insist Silas does it with a younger Green and Sengun..... an undrafted Tate and 2nd rounder Kenyon. It's hypocrisy at its best. Hold Pops to the same standards you hold Silas at
I do not know how old you are, but that statement in itself is preposterous. Do you know that Kerr was an advocate of the old Pops school paired with some of MDA's ideas? I was sure you knew but you seem to be ignorant that Gregg inspired many teams among them championship teams, he is one of the great maestro coaches. Silas has little experience as a head coach, why would I compare them at all? I said the Spurs had the better management, not just coaching. You spun it your way with only coaching, which is not what I meant at all. Also it is highly misleading to compare Poppovich's worst years due to old age and near retirement to a 48 year old sophomore coach who has not proven himself. Those 2 guys are like night and day, not really comparable. Silas is nothing much to me, I do not hold him to any standards, he should be gone in 1 or 2 years. I won't ask for his head, I am respectful to what he does though. I would give Pops the 2nd pick though, just curious what he does with it.
Probably older than you and I'm from the San Antonio area Bob Hill won 62 games with David Robinson followed by 59 wins.... then David Robinson got hurt and then executive Gregg Popovich fired Bob Hill and made the claim, "after close examination of all the coaching candidates...I select myself as the new coach of the San Antonio Spurs." Won 17 games as replacement. Guess what.....Pops made mistakes as well that first year but looked much better after David Roncane back and Tim Duncan was added. Amazing. Go figure. Who would have thunk it? Not Popovich. Sure!!!! So when you talk about Adelman and JVG treatment and prop up Popovich.... Yeah I got issues with that. Learn your own coaching idols history.
Light the Fuse?!?! More like “Fight, but Lose.” Having said that, I’d rather watch this team lose every night than watch Harden.
