About Pop's coaching, he took over a team (in Dec. 1996) that was hurt by major injuries. 4 of their 5 regular starters missed most of the 96 - 97 season. How bad they were in the 96 - 97, you ask? They signed the aging Dominique Wilkens and with all of their injuries, Nique actually had to play the PF spot!!!!! They sucked that year, but their reward was Duncan.

In the 97 - 98, Pop's first full season, the Spurs going from winning just 20 games in the previous season, to winning 56 the next year? Sure, anyone can win with Robinson and Duncan, but mind I remind you that it was Duncan's rookie year. And you are also correct, they lost in the season round. In fact, they lost to the Utah Jazz 1-4, but I have no problem with them losing to the Utah Jazz. Hell, the Jazz were at their peak between 1996 - 1998. In that same conference finals, they even destroyed the Lakers (with Shaq and Kobe, mind you) 4-0!!!!! So what is so ashame about losing in the second round to the mighty Jazz? My point is, I might not be a Spurs fan, but I know Pop deserve more credit than people have given him. He is a much better coach than alot of people out there realize.

injuries are part of the game. No excuses.

True, no argument there. The point of my post is no matter how good a coach you are, you cannot win when your main guys are out.

GH0STrider · 06-03-2007, 12:31 PM

you forget he also did not coach the entire season, just 64 games. Regardless of injury you can not speculate what he might have done or not done. It is what it is.

Injuries are part of the game, but they do not undermine the accomplishment.

Ok, you sound like you do not factor in whatever Pop has accomplished in his first 64 games, since it was not a full season. Let's talk about his first two FULL seasons, shall we? The Spurs won 56 games in his first full season, and then their first championship in his second full season. Sure sure, it was a locked out shorten season, but you still play as many games in the playoffs! Besides, sweeping the Lakers and the Blazers ain't easy to do in ANY season!

I disagree about the Blazers part.

Ok, please explain.

Blazers went 32-50 this season, 0-4 against San Antonio. Right now they're still a joke, with LaMarcus Aldridge contributing far less than expected. Although that could all change with either Durant or Oden next year.
