Another Poll, When will Pop call the team "soft"?


Some say it's a tradition as long as time itself. Every year, after a particularly bad loss or string of losses or a general lack of top-notch defensive play, Pop calls the team soft publicly, as a way of getting their attention, or maybe just to fuck around with the media.


During the preseason games, our defense has been lackluster, according to the reports I have not read. This of course, is due to many reasons, among them, blah blah blah blah blah.

Calling a team soft when Blair is playing for you is like saying Sarah Jessica Parker has a short face.

Way to make the choice easy on me. I had about 5 options I felt strongly about including:

Calling a team soft when Blair is playing for you is like saying Sarah Jessica Parker has a short face.

But ultimately I chose during the road trip. That’s when this team pulls together and I have a feeling that’s when it will be needed most.

Pshaw. He started calling them soft at their first practice.

It almost always happens before the Rodeo road trip. It’s a sign that spring is on its way and with it follows the playoffs.

BTW, it’s good to know that Tony Parker has a shot to beat his last poll vote total.

After Blair heard it, he got his 30th chip on his shoulder. This was most painful for it was his own coach who was his father figure.

Splat! that was the sound of Pop after Dejuan sat on him. (pop! goes the weasel)

I think it will be after a loss to a championship contender. But really, I just love lamp.

With the Grizzly Blair in the line-up, Pop must have gone soft in the head
