    Well maybe you shouldn't read too much into what a player says. It's a business. I'm sure a lot of sports players feel salty after a GM tells them they will stay with the team and then they get traded. It works both ways.

    There is no such thing as a Batman in SA. They don't play that way. There's multiple "batmans", like TD/TP/MG when they were all in prime.

    They build winners out of everyone..... I am envious of their coaching.

    It will be funny when Duncan/Parker/Manu retire in a couple years and Pops decides to hang em up.

    You give Pops too little credit. Stop having the salt cloud your views. Pops is the greatest coach to coach this game

    I don't see this as being on the edge. I think a lot of people were already mentally prepared for this moment, and now everyone is just venting. Venting towards LA, venting towards Neil, venting towards each other. etc

    For the love of god Mags, change the avi. We need to start the healing process, not make the wounds deeper!

    I didn't follow him on Twitter before. Now I'm gonna follow him and then promptly unfollow him. That'll show him!

    How exactly is Pops and the Spurs different than Phil Jackson and the Bulls or Phil Jackson and the Lakers? Let's start comparing rings.

    You misunderstand me. I didn't read into what he said.

    You can tell me that strippers are lying meanies, but that doesn't make it hurt less when she divorces you and takes your bank account to buy 5 figure toys for a dude in leather chaps and a chest beard. I thought there was love there once.

    Agreed, what do people expect him to say when reporters shove a mic in his face 100x a day with the same question. If he said anything else it would be a huge distraction and he would be labled a team cancer. Best to hold your cards close. Also at the time there was no reason to know that th SA opportunity would have beem available to him...

    I hope he gets a phone call from Oden: "You know that disease that turns your knees to chalk? Uh...it turns out it is sexually transmitted."

    Ummmm damn.. Maybe we should have a board get together/book club and read it... Then discuss on here. That'll take our minds off He Who Shall Not Be Named.
