@lucabertolisantospinto6709 Lol 😆 Lakers fans that watched have no choice but to agree. I'm parallel to you all as a Heat fan but Tim Duncan was my favorite overall player. And I was tired of the Laker hype. Since 2002, I knew that the Spurs were going to beat the Lakers in 03, especially when the Lakers didn't make any trades or improvements. Going up against PoP in a system that's around Duncan? That just spills disaster.

The defeat in 2013 was such a gut punch that it elevated the feeling of satisfaction you got as a Spurs fan watching the way they won in 2014. I remember people on the Heat side characterising it as, "Killing the Killing Machine." It was the best feeling I ever had as a fan of the team since the first Championship win.

That was injustice done to former coach Bob Hill. He had 2 winning seasons, lost Robinson to a season ending injury, and gets fired even though it was predictable the Spurs wouldn't make the playoffs? And I still believe Pop shouldn't have taken out Duncan in that game 6 finals match with the Heat that cost them the chance to close out the series. That said, I'm not saying he isn't a great coach. He practically started that load management tactic, as a preventive measure to keep his aging trio fresh for the playoffs and minimize possible untimely injuries

Pop taking out Duncan in game 6 (which they were getting favorable calls throughout that game 🎮, you're right ✅️. However, people need to stop leaving out the contextual fact that Spo shouldn't have taken out Wade, Bosh, and Bron in game 1 leading to Parker making a comeback steal game. So it evens out.

The record shows that Pop's one of the worst: Without Parker, CP3 and the like coaching on court, he can't coach. Just look at his he wasted Robinson-Duncan duo before he got saved by Parker. Also unless there is an obvious first choice, he has a horrible record of drafting, with just Gino and Parker as good grabs, and a horrible drafting percentage elsewhere.

Pop has over stayed his welcome here in San Antonio. Basketball royalty his coaching accomplishments put him in the conversation of the best coach ever. What I admired even more than his basketball achievements was the modest, humble and class that he carried as an individual. Which carried over to the team as a whole. Being born and raised in San Antonio I considered myself extremely fortunate to be able to witness and celebrate the team's success. Over the past few years Coach Pop has acted a bit out of character. A moment that stands out is when the home crowd booed Khawi Leonard every time he touched the ball. Fans still unhappy over the ugly falling out the team had Leonard. Pop chose to lecture the home crowd scolding the fans for not having the view that he felt they should have. First of all the fans pay your salary. At that point Pop was in his 3rd losing season. Win some games and don't worry about the crowd. Pay attention to your mess of a team. More recently Pop thought that ranting about politics was necessary. That's where I draw the line. Pop is a cuck, old fart brainwashed liberal with his best years far behind. Please retire before you make the city resent you further.
