It's the same old story. Everybody had their shovels out, dug the dirt up, ready to bury the dinosaur that is the San Antonio Spurs.
Kudos to Pop. Superstars or not, don't matter two or threes, fast pace or slow pace, he has everyone on his team listen and ready to play. Win or lose, you never have to question the effort and heart of the San Antonio Spurs. That's the ultimate compliment you could pay to a coach.
On the other end of the spectrum? Mike D'Antoni. Yeah Mike, I'm talking about you and your one-trick pony.
Hey Mike, you're in this business long enough. You know a thing called play calling? Yeah, what a coach does on the sideline. What? You've never heard about it? How about hold your superstar players accountable? Guess you've never heard about that one either. How about developing young players? Oh, I forgot that's not your thing.
I have had enough with you, Mike, and James Harden and Russell Westbrook and Houston Rockets all together. I've been through thick and thin with this team long enough. Finally, I've had enough and it's time to cut losses.
Adios.
