I have no problem with Thib winning it, but it's stupid to say Pop has no chance. It's gonna be close either way.

They just have a history of making dumb decisions
Choosing Pop over Thibs would be a dumb decision. Considering what the bulls have done this year
What have they done better than the Spurs? Because I'm looking at the losses and seeing 16 for both.
In order to get the Spurs here (on the cusp of taking the 1 seed), Pop's had to:
1) Keep minutes down for Duncan and Ginobili (when Ginobili's even able to play)
2) Fix the post defense issues that plagued SA last year using a 36 year old Duncan playing 28mins/game, a 6'7 Blair, Splitter, and the great white stiff Bonner
3) Get sensational play from a rookie (Leonard)
4) Figure out ways to improve the roster without access to big names
5) Build one of the most efficient, high-scoring offenses in the NBA without having a single player average above 20pts/game
6) Yet again turn another player nobody's heard of into a legit contributor (Green)
But yea, Thib has coached like 25 games without Rose. That's pretty terrible.

Simpleton, you should really, REALLY quit drinking. It makes you even more stupid.
atfarmers fifth point is what needs to be emphasized. Not a lot of teams can pull of having a top five offense without a single player being within ten points of the scoring title.
Well i guess we will see. Cant wait to hear the complaints when Pop doesnt get it.
The circle jerk in here tonight should be quite astounding when the Spurs win tonight

Hands down, Pop should be coach of the year. No one thought that the Spurs would be where they are today since no BIG moves in the off season. At least there is one thing for sure, it won't be Brown.
winning coach of the year means you get fired- but Jackson never coached a bad team- his career is remarkable
Pop is a better coach than Jackson, but he is in Saytown

i don't think anyone here actually EXPECTS pop to win...just that it will be close and/or he has a legitimate case for it.

Phil Jackson, who's an undisputed top 3 best-of-all-time NBA coach (and probably the best), has 11 NBA titles and 1 COY award. Jerry Sloan has 800 regular season wins and 98 playoff wins (no titles, but Malone and Stockton just weren't as good as Jordan and co. Can't fault him for that), but never won it. Pop has 4 titles and 1 COY award. It's a complete joke of an award and history has proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the people deciding the winner don't know what they're talking about.
I couldn't care less whether Pop gets it. It's meaningless.

And Pop feels the same way.

giving up way too many offensive rebounds
Playing strong D to start tonight ...splitter, Timmy combo didn't look as awkward
Bonner looked shockingly good against Pau on that possession. I don't expect him to score once the playoffs roll around, but defense is about effort. You don't have hot/cold days the same way you do on offense. I guess I'm trying to say that Bonner might not be completely useless this season come playoffs
Bynum just overpowered Splitter there.
Bynum keeping them in the game right now.
Spurs continue to shoot great. This will be a fun playoff series
i don't know why, but every time i hear artests new name it makes me think "what a dooosh"
Can't the announcers avoid saying artests stage name? It hurts my brain.
Man this game is physical. I like the intensity. How many FTAs have the Spurs had?
0. 1 foul on LA so far
ZERO
That's what I thought. :shakes head:
LA 8-8 from the line.
What? They called a foul on LA?
they've missed a couple, but it hasn't been that bad to be honest. We should have 3-4FTA but no more
Splitter with 3 fouls. That's gonna give LA a huge advantage for awhile (granted Bynum's been abusing Splitter anyway, so maybe it isn't a big loss).
Steve Blake is way, way too slow to cover Parker.
3-4 is better than zero.
Spurs shooting 60% .... and losing
No foul on Leonard. Put his hand inbetween Kobe's hands, just like your supposed to. Pure anticipation on the refs part.

Had a lot of dumb TOs and LA's got the FT advantage
Racer, I think he got some elbow. It was hard to tell from that angle.
Kobe sits and Lakers take the lead. Kobe returns and the Spurs take the lead. Hmmmm.....
