- Spurs vs Suns coverage
- Spurs vs Suns preview
- Pounding The Rock
Coaches Notes:
- Both coaches spent a bit of time talking about each other. Their history goes back 30 plus years to Kansas St
- Gentry said that any time a guy has a Russian Literature degree you know he's going to do something special
J-Rich will give it a go and see how he does - Gentry called the Spurs the smartest team in the league as far as gamesmanship. He said they don't beat themselves
- Gentry has a home in San Antonio still and spends some time there but not much anymore
- Asked if he ever talks to Duncan about that three in the 2008 playoff series Gentry said, "I don't talk about that"
- Gentry said they would try everything with the Spurs and that Pop is a "straight line guy" who will make you adjust to him
You really have to listen to this interview of Popovich yourself. Hilarious (best part about Nash is at the end)
- First Pop slams me for asking him how he plans on defending Channing at the three asking why I was special enough to tell me. I thought it was funny but he looked pretty serious. That's Pop. Poorly worded question gets slapped back hard. Love it.
- I later asked about Nash's tweet from this morning about his unusual employment history. First Pop goes off on Nash for tweeting - "Steve Nash should not tweet. He's a competitor, not a tweeter" and then gave a great answer about scouting Soviet basketball courts.
- "He's absolutely correct. I spent all my military time in Russian basketball courts in different cities collecting as many out of bounds plays as I possibly could."
