I wish I could tell the real Popovich how ugly he is.

Thanks, but the bench save Dudley and Frye played pretty awful tonight. I was amazed we won this game.

Thanks Pops,classy. Would you like Goran Dragic back? Howabout Barbosa?
Thank the basketball Gods for Duds tonight.

I expect the series isn't NEAR over so buckle up your chinstrap cuz games 3 & 4 are going to be EPIC.

Thanks. And yeah, the bench plus frankly age and fewer 3pt shooting role players on the Spurs might be the difference this year.

But like the man said, we have a long way to go and the Spurs are way too talented and experienced and grizzled to give up until the final game clock runs out.

The Suns had better not forget that for a minute.

If he sent you a case of wine you might. Gentry got a case of some good stuff from Pops.

Judging from his demeanor at the press conference, I thought Pops might ask for that wine back. He was no one to be messed with. Thought it was hilarious after Bogans committed that stupid foul and got called back to the bench, he made one of the scrubs at the far end move so he wouldn't have to sit next to Pops.

I bet there wasn't much sleep to be had on the Spurs flight back.

Haha. Good luck to Pop for asking it back. Gentry probably chugged the whole bottle back in the changing rooms after the game. "You want it back Pop? Allrright.. " -hands empty bottle-

If you were a reporter in that room would you ask Pop a question after his team has just gone down 2 games in the playoffs. He ate up every reporter there. I think I would have asked him if he liked the movie Avatar or something along those lines because anything basketball related was clearly off limits. He was entertaining though.

I probably would've been the guy being escorted out of the building, because I would have had the gall to ask him why McDyess only played 17 minutes. He should be coming off the bench as the guy who gives Duncan long bouts of rest.

Yeah, Bonner over Dice was a head scratcher but you'd have been a head shorter if you asked him that yesterday.

Yeah - I think Pops wants his past approach to work...good big-man play inside with slashing guards and spaced 3pt shooters coupled with rough, physical lock-down defense...but he doesn't have the talent so far and he has not figured out how to adjust.

Bonner is a no-show so far, and while Jefferson is talented, he is not a great fit for the Spurs style. He had a good game 2, but it didn't seem to assist the rest of the team's flow. It just kept them from being down more.

Hill is a nice player, be he's no Bruce Bowen.

I just think they have a different set of pieces that don't mesh as well as in the past, and their big 3 are older and, while still really good, not able to win it all by themselves against a really deep, talented and hungry Suns team.

Again, so far. No jinxes here! It could all change on their home court.

No whammies, no whammies!
