Maybe they really do need a token white guy to win. I can't say I'm sorry to the these BLM fu$%&$% lose.
But like the women's soccer team, I'm assuming they'll figure it and get some sort of medal.

Pathetic. The replay is on now, and they look terrible.
Popovich and Kerr. Two of the biggest "woke" jerks in the league. Good to see.

I'm surprised they actually showed the replay, since there's no woker sports than soccer and basketball. I assumed every win for soccer and basketball would be front and center and every loss would be mentioned exactly once during some ridiculous news clip about over coming adversity.
Sooo I think Pop sucks and always has but got lucky he had a team of superstars, mainly Duncan.
This team of 1%ers is really struggling

That's going to leave a mark, assuming Pop doens't pull his head out in the next couple of days.

Pretty good comparison line in that article.
"He sounded no different from every Power Five college football coach who tries to reassure their fan base after losing to a MAC school that, hey, those guys are on scholarship too."

He's an absolute humiliation to his country and to San Antonio at this point. The Spurs are a laughing stock since Duncan left aside from one season. And now he has world class players and is getting smacked around by everyone from France to Nigeria. Hilarious.
Best coach ever!!! Lol

Spurs have made the playoffs 3/5 of the years since Duncan retired and barely missed the other two years (with just slightly below .500 each season) That's not a laughing stock. That's pretty respectable considering the loss of the GOATPF. Look at Cleveland post-LeBron (both times.) Look at Houston after Harden. Look at Dallas the last few years of Dirk's career. Look at Chicago post-Jordan. Look at the Lakers post-Kobe. Look at the Celtics post-Bird.
Spurs have done pretty good considering what happens to most teams when they lose their franchise's best player. But you call them a laughing stock? GTFO.
He can't make Durant and Lilliard make shots, and he cant make LeBron James, Steph Curry, Donovan Mitchell, Kawhi, Randle, Chris Paul, Jimmy Butler, Paul George, Bradley Beal, and Anthony Davis actually play for their country. Three of his best players joined the team right before that game, because they played the entire season then the Finals and had no practices.
Durant, Lilliard, Tatum, and Booker went a combined 11-37 against France. But I guess if Pop was a good coach, all those bricked threes would have gone in.
But hey, be so triggered at the old man that made political statements you don't like that you make illogical and incoherent ramblings with no basis in fact. I can't imagine hating Pop more than you love to cheer for your country. It looks great for you.
Kinda hard to be a laughing stock when you make the playoffs 22 years in a row.
You just don't like him because you don't agree with his way of thinking.
You're praying that we lose so that you can be happy that he and Kerr lost. Pathetic.

I wouldn't bother with them, Guitarsoup.
I know Pop long enough to understand that he's going to take the heat when we lose and he's fine by that. By assuming responsibility, he knows that the heat is lessened on the players.
I thought he kept Booker out there too long; he should have subbed in Lillard sooner. I'm thinking Booker was still reeling from the loss in Game 6 (& long trip) and seemed timid out there. The ball was moving in the first half, but the movement stopped once Durant picked up his 4th foul. I think them going big also kind of had something to do with it, but our shots just weren't falling. It was a defensive battle all throughout the game and it was unfortunate that we had 3 outside shots that just didn't fall when we were down by 2. Also, that turnover by Lillard in the last few seconds was disappointing. I was really hoping to see "Dame time" in international play and that slip is uncharacteristic of him. As always, these guys play too selfless out there but I think that comes with experience. The more these guys play together, the better they will play.
Also, I was impressed with Holiday's play; he single-handedly kept us in the game. He shouldn't of passed up that 3 pointer in the corner though late in the game; he was hot, he should have taken that shot.

I want to see Jrue get most of the minutes over Lilliard. France is good, but Czech and Iran are trash, so even losing to France, we move on.
Probably ten of the top dozen Americans opted out, but the Finals MVP is Greek, the NBA MVP is Serbian and the hottest young star is Slovenian. A lot has changed.
And we have to play spares like JaVale McGee.

Doncic with 48 points in a win over Argentina (4th ranked team in the world). 48 is a huge number for the Olympics. No one has scored over 40 in the last 25 years.
This format is kind of a joke. Eight of the twelve teams are going to advance to the second round.

Pop hung yesterday's loss on the players. Talked about how the world has caught up.
Contrast his mea culpa about losing to France relative to Lillard's "we expect to win, we should win, we have to do better."

Lmfao are you seriously hanging your hat on "making the playoffs"? Something that like every other team does, and the Spurs are doing it as the 7 seed!?
I'm old enough to remember when the Spurs were a championship or bust. Glad that without Duncan they're happy limping into the playoffs. You'd think the greatest coach ever would do better than that, but I guess not.
Also it's funny how the players are complaining about Pop's coaching on offense. It's like guys who are actually running his system are agreeing with me that he's bad but some random nobody on texags claims to know better. I'll take the players word over yours any day.
Oh well. Thankfully we get Iran next and we can all celebrate Pop being the best coach ever when we win that before getting humiliated again in the knockout rounds.
Interesting that you comment on "loving the country". Your boy Pop spends his time ****ting on this country from his multimillion dollar mansion. Wish he'd spend more time coaching and maybe you wouldn't be reduced to celebrating 7th place finishes in the West.
Well at least our women's team was able to find a way past Nigeria.
Saying the spurs made it 3 out of 5 is spin by leaving out they have missed the last two years
Prior to the collapse of Pop the spurs had missed the playoffs 3x in their history
Never back to back seasons
Nice try Soup

You called them a laughing stock of the league. A team making the playoffs or close to making the playoffs isn't a laughing stock. The Spurs have handled the loss of a generational talent that was a long term cornerstone better than pretty much any team ever.
Cool. Replacing a generational talent isn't easy. Happy limping into the playoffs? No. Is limping into the playoffs what a laughing stock of the league (your words) is doing? Also no. All teams go through rebuilds when their star retires. Dallas is doing it now transitioning from Dirk to Luka. Since he won the title in '11, Carlisle had ten straight years or not making the playoffs or getting knocked out in the first round.Quote:

Lots of people aren't able to take responsibility for their own actions or inactions. Maybe the players are right. Maybe they just want to deflect from the fact they couldn't get the ball in the hoop against a frog.
When has Pop **** on the USA? You can love something but also see the need for improvement. Loving something doesn't mean you think it is perfect. Any parent can understand that. But it is much easier for you to twist things into something they are not. No one is celebrating a 7th place finish, but that is clearly lost on you in your attempts to make strawman after strawman. That's the classic move made by someone clinging to the opposite side of the facts.Quote:

And the facts show that Pop is one of the greatest coaches of all time. It isn't really disputable. But keep up your fallacy-riddled hate rants. Maybe try to include some facts, too.

Here they come. Excellent.
Looked a lot better, though it was Iran.
Other than the Dream Team beating Angola like 116-48, I don't remember that dominant of a performance.
Now can we compete with the better teams?

I'm tired of Lillard's 30 footers. I don't care who is shooting it, it's not a good shot and a total movement killer.
USA draws Spain in the quarters. Tip off is on Monday at 1140pm CST. Winner goes on to face winner of Australia-Argentina in the Semis.
The US is lucky to be tied at 43 with Spain.
Getting out rebounded and can't make their threes. The last few minutes they started going inside and playing some defense which helped.

US stops jacking up threes and starts looking for rebounds - goes on 14-4 run to tie the score at halftime.
I wonder if throwing McGee in would help with rebounds down low. Spain's bigs are dominating in rebounds.
I don't think it is so much about size as it is about positioning and actually trying to rebound.
Up by 6 at the end of three. Played better but gave up a run towards the end of the third.
Two minutes left. Good guys up 92-79.
Game. Blouses. 95-81.
Much better second half. Better ball movement, positioning, defense, and finally making threes.
Game was close because the offensive juggernaut of Marco Rubio had 38 points and was making everything. Never thought I'll say that.
These games are going to be tough and close in some circumstances. Durant is showing up but not sure who will be the next guy up to help out.
