Yes I know his legacy is more than cemented but nobody should be immune to criticism, you cant tell me even if he goes 0-82 he should still be considered a top tier coach. Just like players can be past their prime so could a coach. He hasn’t really done much since Kawhi left the team, the Derozan/Aldridge team didn’t achieve much, and as much as we are still in a ‘development’ and experiment stage for Wemby, this can’t realistically be the best case you’d expect. At what pt do we say “Maybe he isn’t the best coach for this team” or “Another coach could get more wins than him with same roster”?

Dwayne Casey went to conference finals with Derozan. Pop couldn't get out of 1st round?

Dude. DeRozan had a historically bad on/off that whole postseason. If ever a player was given credit for leading a team to the conference finals while literally being dragged by the supporting cast that was it. That in no way reflects on Popovich.

We went to game 7 against the Blazers in the 2nd round in 2019
