RE:Spurs @ Indiana
Let's put the coaching thing in perspective though... Pop won 2 championships with 2 of the best big men to ever play the game. He only won 2 out of 5 years too. I think it is fair to say that Pop should have won 5 out of 5 championships with maybe 2 of the top 5 big men to ever play the game... regardless of age.
Rick Carlisle is beating Popovich right now and has a J Oneal rather than a Tim Duncan.
Or put another way... who makes who look better... does Duncan make Pop look better? Or does Pop make Duncan look better?
I think Carlisle might be able to coach the Spurs better than Pop.

There is nothing wrong with criticizing a team if your points are valid. But most of the armchair coaches on this board talk pseudo-basketball-ese and make results oriented comments as if they actually have an understanding of the game at the pro level. Most of the comments are based on disappointment from unrealistic expectations or the most ludicrous notion that you sitting in your barc-o-lounger knows more about how to win basketball games than Nelson. Just not gonna happen, boysan.-TwoDeep3
