Thanks!

:tu

Back in the days when the Olympics was more interesting because it wasn't completely filled with pro athletes, I could understand a college coach leading the US basketball team. But now I just don't get it.

In Manu's article he wrote that he was surprised Pop picked him up because it was 10:30 pm and HERE it is considered very late. Is it completely different in Argentina?

i'm beginning to think that Pop is thinking more of 2010 than this upcoming season.

10.30 pm is when many people have dinner in Argentina.

Pop knows people, and you can tell that our team really like and respect each other as human beings, so it's not at all surprising to me that Pop would pick Manu up at the airport. These guys are like family, and it's another reason I love the Spurs. :)

Even taking Ginobili's injury into consideration, I doubt the Spurs make any type of drastic move. We've always taken the approach of standing pat.

"Pop, why aren't you going to scold Manu the way you scold all your other players and assistant coaches and, well, the entire world when they do something wrong?"
