I think he’s been worse since his wife died 1-2 years ago. We loved Pop’s quirkiness, but he has really worn out his welcome since he began this anti-Trump rage of his.

I’m done with the Spurs until that jerk is gone. He got lucky a couple of times with the draft and because of Robinson and Duncan it made him look good. Without those stars he’s being exposed.

In all fairness, there has been a significant talent downgrade with the team in recent years. The aging and retirements of Tim Duncan and Manu Ginóbili, the aging and free agent signing of Tony Parker, and the subsequent injury and post-injury force trade of Kawhi Leonard explains a lot.

That said, for a team in rebuild mode and in need of direction, Popovich's obsession with Trump and politics at this time hasn't helped the squad.

Ah, the Michael Jordan/Phil Jackson Effect. The coach gets the credit for the talents of the player. The Spurs would have done just as well with any number of other coaches.

NBA games are nothing more than an infomercial for Communist Black Lives MatterTM, fomenting racial tension for Communist Chinese power and political gain at the expense of black Americans.

Any sport that is a total waste for the first 98% of the game and is decided in the final 2% is awful.

Maybe he should fire himself and bring back Bob Hill, the exact opposite of what he did right after they got Robinson in the draft...

RE: Gregg Popovich’s Spurs Have Struggled Since He Became Anti-Trump

I don’t agree with Popovich’s politics, but his team’s struggling and his politics has nothing to do with each other, unless he is only choosing anti-Trump players regardless of character and skill.

Yup,, it was before the election when he came out and supported HRC,, that’s when he insulted in a hating manor anyone who supported Trump. He screwed that franchise good, and if i were the spurs I’d sue his ass... I live in San Antonio and most of my friends and people i know are like, Bye Felicia,, their season tickets fell off, they sold the women’s basketball team,, It’s hard to stomach listening to that old white dude tell me i need to be made to feel uncomfortable while he is sitting down in his 3 story win cellar. what a joke,,It honestly sounds like he is complaining about how he is when he talks about politics.

Gregg Popovich is fresh off the worst head coaching season of his career.
...
The only year in which Popovich ever finished with a worse winning percentage was 1996-97


I'm confused... Did he just have his worst year, or was it actually not his worst year? Do sports 'journalists' even go to school for writing ability? Would it even help?
