    The Spurs aren't immune to making coaching changes early in seasons, not that anyone really remembers or notices.

    It's just the thought of San Antonio canning a coach now seems as foreign as the Spurs' internationally-laden roster. The NBA's ultimate model of consistency and stability doesn't do rash. The Spurs stay the course, cranking out essentially the same product today as they did at end of the last century.

    Alamo City old-timers likely recall Gregg Popovich pink slipping Bob Hill just 18 games into 1996-97. How about that Jerry Tarkanian NBA run that lasted 20 games in 1992?

    Those with memories that predate the births of the One Direction boys know the league's most accomplished coach didn't get his career off to the smoothest of starts. Spurs Nation was calling for Pop's head 14 games into the 1999 season with the team sitting 6-8.

    I could go for backup point guard as well.

    We don't need to make a change but it would certainly tilt the odds in our favor if the Spurs were actually able to acquire a big... or if Splitter keeps playing as physical as he did against the Lakers. If Tiago can do that night in and night out, he would BE that big everybody here is hoping to trade for

    yeh I don't really buy the no change necessary....just because Spurs rarely make rash moves and typically do well, doesn't mean they couldn't be better with additions. Spurs need an athletic big that can play defense...have for a long time.

    The Spurs do well in RS only, after the '07 le. Making the WCF's in '08 and particulary in '12 were good runs though. Since the Lakers and the Heat improved, it would have been good to add K-Mart to the roster.

    Or you know, someone could read the article and notice they're talking about the coaching staff, not the players.
