Is Pops the most underrated coach in the league? I would still give the nod to Jerry Sloan, but next to Sloan there isn't another coach that runs a tighter ship than Pops.
Uhh... if Pops is underrated, who isn't? I hear him getting plenty of credit for everything he does. Right now, the Spurs are playing championship calibur ball... pay attention, because THAT is what the Rockets need to look like if they want to be serious contenders.
The guy is playing great. But our overall D seems to be improving some. Get it down to a 10-point game by the end of the 3rd, and we'll have a slight chance.
Pop isin't underrated; he gets pretty big props from media for making the Spurs an elite team. BUT. 20 POINT LEAD FOR THE SPURS. T-MAC OUT, BENCH IN PLZ.
I still say it's Dallas or the Spurs coming out from the West. The Spurs will upset the Suns in the second round.
Its not an upset when the Spurs play a brand of basketball that WINS in the playoffs. Right now, they're looking like that.
