    Pop is very nice if you don't ask stupid questions. He just doesn't have a lot of patience with people who a) don't listen b) don't have a clue.

    He always starts his media sessions with some opening comments about the game. He gets infuriated when the sequence goes like this...

    "I think we played a really good defensive second half. We kept the pressure on them. Bruce did a really good job denying Peja the ball. He got in space and pestered him .. that's what Bruce does. On offense, Manu and Tony stayed aggressive. I thought we got a little stagnant early in the game but the ball movement picked up in the second half."

    First Question: "Can you tell me what you thought of Bruce's defense on Peja?"

    pop is a great guy off and on the court



    It happens almost every single game. I don't know if the reporters don't listen to the opening comments because they are concentrating so hard on what they are going to ask or what.

    I'm waiting for Pop to hit us with an epic one liner...something that will go down in the history books. A little "they are who we thought they were!" would be nice.



    "...and we let 'em off the hook!"

    Pop is a teacher. He's managed to teach the local media to learn more about the game, and to think a little before they ask questions. The poor bas s from other cities, being deprived of a good coach to teach them things like that, continue to blunder along like lemmings.

    When you think about it, it's an awful lot like what happens on the court.

    Pop's between-quarters interview with the sideline reporter is the most uncomfortable 60 seconds on television.

    The commentators are used to saying things like, "You're ahead going into the locker room... how does that feel?" Popovich doesn't accomodate laziness. When they know they are going to interview him, maybe they should spend less time in make-up and a little more time trying to figure out what really happened in the first half.

    I think it's just a matter of time before Pop slaps a white wig on one of his assistant coaches and uses them as his stunt double with the media. Better yet, put Bonner to work.

    I think it has more to do with the fact that he thinks the sideline interviews are stupid (I agree with him). The questions aren't intended to be thought-provoking, they're just trying to get his thoughts at that point of the game.

    It's not so much that the questions are lazy... the whole stupid concept is a lazy addition by producers who are bored with their jobs and think they have to somehow trick up the broadcast every year.

    What i will never understand is the quality of the questions they ask. These people act like they've been in the business for days instead of years. I could randomly pick 5 posters from this forum (other than SD21) who would ask questions that we all want to know and that Pop would be willing to answer.

    They all seem so inept and their questions so redundant.
    DID SOMEONE SAY "RANDOM"??!?!?!?

    Spurstalk, it seems, like many forums/webpages, assigns numbers to people who register. These numbers are assigned sequentially, in ascending order. The lower the number, the earlier the person signed up.

    You can see these numbers by clicking on the profile, and looking at the URL.
    Mine for example is 1813 as seen below:

    http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=1813
    or the clickable version:
    http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=1813

    Kori, one of the founding members, is number 6

    As of the time this jackoff registered this morning there were about 12,000 total users.
    http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=12154

    So, to get five random posters from this board you need 5 numbers between 1 and 12154

    Go to random.org/ (no affiliation) and, if you know what you are doing, you can get those numbers.

    Random Integer Generator
    Here are your random numbers:

    9478
    883
    8153
    1095
    5253
    Timestamp: 2008-05-12 21:06:20 UTC
    So, all you have to do is stick those numbers into the profile URL, and you have 5 randomly selected people who are registered here.
