Phil Winters vs Pop head to head playoffs
« on: May 29, 2008, 08:59:53 AM »
What are we at now for stats?
4-0 Lakers 2001
4-1 Lakers 2002
4-2 Spurs  2003
4-2 Lakers 2004
3-1 Lakers 2008
16-8 games and 3-1 Series lead by Phil so far.

I can't imagine why msc and the rest of Laker Nation like Pop so much as a coach of Lakers playoff opponent.  Pop is great.

A comeback here by the Spurs would vault Coatails Pop into UnOwned stratosphere.

Why don't the Spurs just re-hire the coach that led them to 4 championships?
"History shouldn't be a mystery"
"Our story is real history"
"Not his story"

"My people's culture was strong, it was pure"
"And if not for that white greed"
"It would've endured"

"Laker hate causes blindness"

Because he is under contract to the Sonics.

Really?  I thought he was in retirement in San Diego making full use of his juicer and reading gossip blogs?

So the Spurs "might" have only the second best active coach.  So they should fire him and go for a worse coach.  Great insight there, Reality.

How did it work out?  I'd say not so well.  Usually if you wanted to toot your own horn about a suggestion you do it when it makes the team win.

Barry was on the floor when they lost the lead Reality so....ya.

oh this is classic.  I'm gonna get it down before you run to the edit button.
Barrys play did not help in Gm 4 and 5.  Precious.

This is classic.  You are talking about your genius idea to play Barry but they still lost.  You've been saying that since 2005 you wanted this to happen.  Since then the Spurs have won a title.  They then take your genius idea and they don't win.  Maybe, just maybe, it wasn't as genius as you thought?   Sounds to me like maybe Popavich knows better then you do on when to use players and when not to use them.  Oh wait...Popavich doesn't get props for using Barry because you said to use him in 2005.  Sorry.

Barry's play helped but they didn't win so really it doesn't matter does it?  The whole point is to win right?  Wasn't that why you wanted Barry in since 2005? Because you felt that his play would get them past a team or into the finals?   Barry's played helped the Spurs in game 5 but somehow he doesn't get any blame for them blowing the lead.  That is only Greg Popavich right?  Barry gets credit for the 17 point lead but Popavich gets blamed for them losing.   Again...classic tard logic.  I love it.  Almost as much as I love the fact you are going to be MIA from this board until the Lakers lose a game in the finals.

Thanks for making my point.  Cementavich and you took Barry out of Gm 4.  He was 23 pts in 27 minutes plus a great floor game.
Gms 1 and 2 he virtually did not play.

"Der errr but they didn't win Reality."  Yeah hard for Barrdog to do anymore when he was taken off the court.  Warehouse, no make that pipeline.

Maybe you didn't get the memo from the rest of the basketball world but Barry is not a closer, he is not the type of player who single handly wins playoff games, nor is he able to play with out needing a break.  It's really quite funny how dense you can be sometimes.  The whole point of Popavich taking Barry out was to make sure he was fresh for the part of the game you think that he would single handly dominate.

Game 1 he did not play and the Spurs went up by 20 so to me it seems like Barry is a role player, not a super star, so it makes your comments look silly at best.

Why are you going to toot your own horn about telling Barry to come in even though they lost?  That just doesn't make sense.  Especially when you factor in this crazy idea that Barry would have won multiple playoff games for the Spurs.  I really would like to know why your wife continues to let you juice mushrooms found under cow patties.

The Spurs have won 3 titles in 6 years. 

If Pop is a coat tail rider then he should not get credit for the 3 titles the Spurs have won and he should NOT get blamed for the loses.

If Pop is a coach that single handedly determines the outcome of the Spurs playoff runs then it is his fault the Spurs have not repeated and it is to his credit that the Spurs won 3 titles.

There are only 5 coaches in ALL NBA history that have won 3 titles in 6 years:
Kundla
Auerbach
Riley
PJ
Pop

What does that tell you?
"History shouldn't be a mystery"
"Our story is real history"
"Not his story"

"My people's culture was strong, it was pure"
"And if not for that white greed"
"It would've endured"

"Laker hate causes blindness"

That choosing to coach a team with superstars will make even coattail riders look good.
