Gregg Popovich

The San Antonio Spurs haven’t missed the playoffs since 1997, and Chris Paul doesn’t see their decades-long streak of postseason berths ending now. Not even after they dropped to 10th place in the Western Conference following a loss to Paul’s league-best Houston Rockets. From the San Antonio Express-News‘ Tom Orsborn: “It is strange, real strange,” the [...]

It might be time to start counting the San Antonio Spurs as a potential LeBron James suitor this summer. That’s what certain people around the NBA think anyway, per ESPN’s Ryen Russillo: [tweet https://twitter.com/ryenarussillo/status/968177549087068162] Yes indeed: Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich is actually the trigger for all this hoopla.

As I am sure you are aware of by now, Fox News Pundit Laura Ingraham used her platform to admonish LeBron James a week and a half ago for his comments about current U.S. President Donald Trump not caring about the people and that his repeated actions and statements had essentially made LeBron numb to [...]

Earlier in the week, we talked about how Kawhi Leonard’s camp denied a reported rift between him and the San Antonio Spurs organization.

Gregg Popovich and LaMarcus Aldridge really are on the same page nowadays. Speaking with reporters ahead of the San Antonio Spurs’ close-but-not-really-close-but-kind-of-actually-close win over the Dallas Mavericks on Tuesday, the head honcho went out of his way to compliment his All-Star big man, per Tom Osborn of the San Antonio Express-News: [tweet https://twitter.com/tom_orsborn/status/930596174427557889] Aldridge has no [...]

What in the world is going on with Kawhi Leoanrd? A quad injury has kept the megahuman forward from playing in the San Antonio Spurs’ first 11 games, through which they’re a sound 7-4.
