So, we need a second creator next to Rose and as it happens to be - Manu is a free agent this summer...

That offensive rebound near the end of the game was HUGE!

It's no wonder the Spurs didn't win, it's all due to the T-Mac curse!

Yeah, you do you LeBron.

I mean all you did was abandon your original team and join forces with a future hall of famer and another all star big man. Yeah, you really earned it.

Up until this series, I thought Coach Popovich was the best coach currently in the league, with Thibs being a close second. After this disgrace of a finals performance by the coach specifically, I now realize Pop isn't as good of a coach as I thought.

The insurmountable mistakes he has made in games 6 and 7 specifically have shown me that he either falls under the pressure of the situation at hand or simply does not know what he is doing. In game 6, he refused to call a timeout when Kawhi Leonard rebounded the ball (who waited with the rebounded ball to see if there was going to be a timeout called as Miami set up their defense), refused to foul Ray Allen upon catching the ball with 5 seconds left in the game and had no choice but to take a game tying 3, leaving Ginobili in the game to make critical errors (such as 8 turnovers in game 6, bricking shot after shot as if he was Westbrook), playing Tiago Splitter for an extended amount of time in game 6 where he made every error possible in terms of turnovers, bad decisions, and poor shots, as well as not sticking on Shane Battier after he got hot like the Heat stuck on Danny Green in the remaining games of the series, which single handedly resulted in a Spurs loss (only 5 players scored on the Heat, Chris Andresen had 3 points and only 4 other players contributed).

There are more mistakes I am not thinking of, I really wish I made a list when I witnessed them all. Fact of the matter is, despite Coach Popovich's legacy, his horrendous mistakes have proven to me that his players have carried him a lot more than his coaching has. The system he made for the team is something great, but when you can't make even the most basic of coaching decisions, one has to question whether that system can carry a team to a championship in the modern era. At the end of the day I really question if he even cares about losing, as he could retire and not lose much of his legacy. That is, to me, just how bad his errors were in this series.

I hope this sh%t is burning Derricks soul. You allowed this to happen, you decided to give him a pass. You better make him pay.

If this is killing us as fans, I hope this is killing Rose even more.
