[@cesarcanete3402]

@@ztlabraptor211 I guess you're right. It's really crazy & disheartening to see the Spurs back to being a lottery team after 22 years of consistently being a championship contender at best & lower seed playoff team at worst. The Spurs haven't missed a playoffs since Duncan got there & this season looks like it'll be the 1st time since then. I guess maybe it has a whole to do w/ how they did Kawhi wrong & this is them paying their kharmatic debt.

[@ztlabraptor211]

Cesar Canete they didn’t do Kawhi wrong. They let him sit for half a year without question, cleared him to play, and then he sat after 9 games with a separate issue in his shoulder and ran away to New York while the team played in the playoffs without his presence. Not only was Kawhi in the wrong for that situation, but Kawhi himself has said that he just wanted to go home to LA, hence why he asked for a trade there and left Toronto to go there

[@gc033]

As a spurs fan born in ‘96 I was spoiled with greatness throughout my childhood…so many memories with friends and family attending/watching games. Now that I’m older I just appreciate it even more. Hopefully we can build around Wemby and capture another title in the near future. As for Stak, he was a baller in his own right. Coach Pop is just a tough coach and I’m sure Stak would say Coach Pop made him a batter player and person overall. 2013 had a devastating ending but 2014 was the sweetest revenge tour of all time….

There wasn’t going to be anything that saved the Spurs during the end of that Game 6 with Duncan on the bench. LeBron went crazy in the fourth quarter. 16 points. The biggest mistake Pop made with all due respect to Stephen was taking Duncan out of the game. He would’ve gotten that rebound or at least made it tough for Bosh to get it. And Stephen wouldn’t have stopped Ray from knocking that shot down.

[@brodericksimpson6049]

Andre Ricardo Bryant Jack, Kawhi and Manu were all 80-83% free throw shooters. I doubt that he would’ve had more calmness at the line than Ginobili. Ginobili was a big time clutch player in his career. He just missed. It happens. Duncan missed point blank shots at the rim that game too. Sometimes weird things happen in games.

[@bornegamerz1180]

True. Duncan had 17 rebounds in game 6.

[@MikeBNumba6]

@Andre Ricardo Bryant Manu also had really bad turnovers that game too. Everyone remembers the last two mins, but not the key moments of the game/series. Manu played like shit

Yeah I doubt Stephen would have done anything to help win in those moments. The way things just played out it was destined to happen. All those misses from various players that normally make it go in easy just missed. He wasn’t stopping that Ray Allen 3 that thing was too wet, he just too into his feelings when in comes to Ray.

Pop is a strange character. He is manipulative as they can be. But as Jack said, really smart and strategic. He is not afraid at challenges. Look at him now; coaching a team at low end of the NBA standing. A place where no superstar wants to play in. But superstars love him. If have a company I’d make him CEO without interviewing him, because I know I was going to be the absolute best chances to succeed with him.

I love stack as a player but bro really twisting stuff up. Coaches give players garbage minutes when they ain’t been on they game and they wanna see if they’ll put in effort even if they only get a bit of playing time. I watched Jack that year as a Spurs fan and when he got minutes he gave no effort at all. Meanwhile Danny Green was hustling locking dudes up hitting shots. Sounds like Jack was taking his frustration out on the team in practice and it was just hurting the chemistry, can’t have that when you’re trying to win a chip. Love ya Jack! 2003 you was the man

real spurs fan here from the late 80's....it's refreshing to hear how humble Jack is about Pop even to this day. A certain faction of fans deify Pop while a great number of us always know that Tim Duncan was the engine behind the Spurs. Everything the Spurs came to be known for was because of Tim, not Pop. Pop is soooooo smart 🙄 that he's outsmarted himself out of at least 2 extra championships. Jack is a top 10 Spur of ALL TIME. Just from his '03 playoff performance alone. Salute to him for his service to our city and keeping it classy regarding Popovich.

Derrick Davis it’s not when you think of it from a business perspective, but it is when you look at it from a moral one. At the end of the day, billionaires put forth their wealth to achieve an outcome. They could care less about people’s feelings along the way.
