[spurs_2108]

Thanks.

[siraulo23]

Thanks again!

[jason1301]

thank you, great to hear Manu is at 100% and G Hill is improved.

[Manufan909]

Any chance of seeing scrimmage in a vid? That would make my month, until it becomes October.:lol

[Bruno]

I miss previous training camps when words like youth or athleticism were never said.

I am assuming this is French humour, lol.

Pop still seems to love Finley and does not want to change his role. Hopefully his minutes change. Bogans sounds thrilled to be a Spur.

[BillMc]

Thanks for posting this. Really enjoyed it.

[NoOptionB]

Should have asked POP how you compete against something that gets subsidized with an endless supply of stolen money.

[EricB]

He didnt mention minutes, although you kind of got a hint with "He's looking more and more like Steve Kerr every day"

At least thats what my CIA decoder ring said.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't like how Ian wasn't mentioned for the shot-blocking part, but that might not mean much obviously..we'll see..

It also sounds like Pop has the confidence in Hill now, which might not be too good for Marcus Williams..

[HarlemHeat37]

I was worried about the Finley comments at first, but it's not like Pop is going to say that Finley will have a reduced role this year anyways..I think it's interesting that he mentioned Kerr for that though, as EricB pointed out..

[completely deck]

God I love Pop.

[Morg1411]

Pop: "I'm happy to have George Hill as the backup point guard."

Woot!

[manu_maniac]

These vids were all kinds of awesome, especially Pop's foray into politics.

Go Spurs Go!

[symple19]

What jumped out to me is Fin talking about the "back to basics" approach that Pop is taking with the team thus far. Of course that means defense!!! I really want to see the Spurs get back to being a team that strikes fear into opponents on that end of the floor. Good stuff!

[EricB]

Fin's comments on "The last two years we were focusing on offense alot, now its all defense" really really put me at ease.

Sounds like old pop is back.

HIs video though was hi LARIOUS. Pop and Duncan are sneaky funny.

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop is great, I'd like to see a interview with him everyday

[Spursmania]

Pop is great, I'd like to see a interview with him everyday

Yeah, Pop was in a great mood which means he's feeling pretty good with what he is seeing. I haven't seen him this giddy in awhile.:toast

[EricB]

he's literally like a kid after christmas day with all his new toys.

[Das Texan]

Pop was in top notch form today I see.

[Thompson]

I liked Finley's response when they asked him about the added athleticism on the team, he said something to the effect of: '...when I first got here, I was one of the most athletic guys on the team; now I'm 13th, almost the least athletic... Thank God Tim's still on the team.'

:lol

Finley's kid goes to the same school my kids go to, and I saw Finley and his wife at the school's picnic last Friday. He's a very cool guy and can be very funny.

[EricB]

Finley's role looks to be mentor, teacher, veteran presence off the bench.

Much like Kerr's in his last year.

Hence Pop saying "he's looking more and more like Steve Kerr everyday."

[angelbelow]

Haha, hilarious indeed.

[DPG21920]

Pop seemed to be impressed with Hill. Good sign.

[Manufan909]

At least thats what my CIA decoder ring said.

I need one of those!!!

And I'm glad to hear good news about Hill and Theo.

Oh yeah, and Pop for President '12!!! He's too awesome to be in a party, he's his own group.:king

[Sigz]

LOL Pop "What a stinker that guy is... He's a stinker... Ya just wanna pull him aside and slap him"

Who was he talking about!!?!?

[barbacoataco]

Thanks. The addition of Bogans means Mason can't cut it on the defensive end. With Jefferson, a healthy Ginobili, and Bogans joining the team, I don't see where Mason will get anywhere near the minutes he got last year. I think his performance in the playoffs will be hard to forget no matter how well he plays in the reg season. But if he just gets back to shooting the open 3 when the ball gets kicked out, he will still have value.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

No reason to not be motivated for this year. Great offseason moves, health, and high spirits all around. Let's do this.

[TIMMYD!]

Mason will still be valuable in spot-up 3 ball situations.

[DynastyBuilder]

Iran

[Spursmania]

I believe he was talking about Iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad.

[myhc]

as always, thanks so much for posting the videos!! and thanks for the heads up on the spurs practice on sunday! :toast

[SouthTexasRancher]

More great videos...Thanks!

[urunobili]

:pop: being :pop: ain't get no better than this,,,

[ThePop]

I can get used to this type of Pop

[Chieflion]

Pop and Finley have a great sense of humour.

[HarlemHeat37]

Pop and Finley have a great sense of humour.

I agree, especially when it comes to Fin's playing time..they're fucking around with all of us..

[admiralsnackbar]

Who was he talking about!!?!?

Rahm Emanuel, WH Chief of Staff.

[lennyalderette]

you cant, fed reserve has no consequences for their actions they are above the law and own the u.s the scarey thing is they dont even hide it, our rights will soon be gone, thats why pop said "the way the gov is intimidating people is sickening" sorry guys didnt mean to talk politics but if you ever wanted a gun now is the best time to get one before its illegal! anyway :flag:

[EricB]

Rahm Emanuel, WH Chief of Staff.

:lol

If that was true I'm with him.

I think he was talking about President Achmakdkajdkjfadljidad of Iran though.

[coyotes_geek]

So no one wants to touch Pop's comments about Tim and the whole PF/C debate huh?
