and that's exactly what he's fighting against

In the press room, if someone asks something really stupid then fine let them have it. Pop does it on a regular basis to decent questions and goes way over the line.
it's not pop's job to do the reporter's jobs for them. i don't know what kind of questions i'd ask, but then again i'm not a paid professional sportswriter. if they can't come up with anything and are reliant entirely on the coach going over and beyond his responsibility to cover their own inadequacy for knowledge of the sport they're covering then they shouldn't be covering the sport to begin with

Observations

1. Spo is the 2nd best coach in the league, maybe 3rd after Carlisle. lol thibs

2. Sports journalism is a bigger farce than power bracelets and mood rings. **** them imo.

3. lolbattier, dude retired 3 months ago and is just collecting checks

I'm surprised there are people in this forum that think those that have the power to change the way the media handles sports should just give the reporters some flashy quotes and maintain the status quo.

A big problem is that ESPN deportes guy or whatever is super aggro at the press conferences and he always asks stupid casual fan questions.

The point is rarely are the questions actually so poor that they warrant public mocking.

Edit: Nice glasses Bron lol

Listen to these questions labron and bosh are being asked. Then ask if yourself if 3rd graders would come up with anything different.

if we're taking a stand against reporters asking the same cliched questions every night how bout we take a stand on interviewers asking the same questions in every job interview in history.

"what's the biggest asset you can bring to this job?"
"i'd be good at it"

am i right or what fellas

questions for lebron deserve public mocking imo

"why'd you wear those tights?"
"have fans been sending you remedies for cramps?"
"were you glad the ac was on?"

My mom texted me during the game about how bad Mark Jackson is. True story. Don't know if we've ever been closer.

Bad interviewers end up hiring a lot of bad people. Reporters who ask bad questions get bad answers. That's the point.

re: reporters should ask better questions

SVP&R had sound of a reporter asking Pop to explain how the OKC SA games were so seesaw with each team blowing each other out. What dynamic was at play there?

Not such a cas fan question

Pop treated the guy like he was an idiot

SVP&R were like 'ah ya we love Pop but he's taking it a bit far w/ this schtick'

Another problem with the pressers is that a lot of good questions simply can't be answered. Like, what if Pop was asked "how will you adjust to their small chalmers-allen-wade-bron-bosh lineup?" He would just say 'lol you'll see on tuesday'

Pop made Doris nearly cry. His act is unforgivable. And then he can make one like "SAGER GET BACK HERE BUDDY WE LOVE YOU" and everyone sucks his dick some more. Maybe Sager wouldn't have cancer if you didn't trample all over him bro.

Yeah, i got bosh as ~11th best big in the league. I'm taking noah, duncan, blake, dwight, lma, dirk, love, brow, gasol, and cousins before him. lol at 11th best player itl.

Sorry I just can't root for these Spurs. I think I counted them randomly falling down about 10 times in the fourth quarter... pathetic.

This loss is pretty ominous for the Spurs imo. Heat got whatever they wanted in crunch time as they did before Bron went out in Game 1. Unlike Miami, SAS doesn't really have another gear defensively.

Over the last two months this has been said in these threads hundreds of times about a dozen different teams depending on who lost the last game.

Probably, but I was saying it before G2 if SAS lost.
