    He should focus on ending this 9 game losing streak instead of policing the fans.

    I’ll defend pop for almost anything but that was bull shit. Such a bad look telling fans who pay a boat load of money to be there what to do.

    I like that Pop puts Spurs fans on a higher regard than the rest of the league… yeah no, sorry.

    Sounds like I’m a minority opinion here. I’m surprised by the disrespect toward Pop. He’s earned the right to speak to the fans and he’s correct on this topic. The simmering hatred is toxic and beneath us

      Pop has earned his respect, but he’s not infallible, and I think he was wrong here. Fans boo visiting players all the time and as long as the fans aren’t doing anything excessive like throwing objects or yelling derogatory stuff, fair game. And if he actually thought telling 17,000 people to stop booing was going to quiet the crowd, I don’t know what to say.

      The odd explanation in the postgame presser of “not poking the bear” made no sense. Fans have booed Kobe, LeBron, Dirk, Durant, Doncic among others over the years. Why wasn’t he worried about “poking the bear” those times?

      Pop still has my respect for everything he’s done on and off the court, but I’m not going to nod my head automatically in agreement on everything he does just because it’s Pop. And I think this was one time where discretion should’ve been the better part of valor, at least in the time and place of it.

    I don’t understand the booing he was critical to us winning a championship, he was finals mvp

    Don’t knock him for wanting to work somewhere else , how would you like to be forced to work in a city vs where you want to live
