Pop after the Knicks game: "We ran out of gas. Guys busted their butts -- I'm really proud of their effort. They just didn't have enough in the tank after that road trip. Tony was exhausted. He tried to play great -- he had 12 assists and no turnovers -- but couldn't throw it in the ocean. We got tired, we definitely got tired ... Down the stretch after we got the lead, we turned into a turnover machine. Lost our momentum, gave them the momentum and lost the lead. But it started with turnovers and bad decision on some shots."

It's 8 games into the season and a day of rest... come on son...
If that's the truth, it doesn't bode well at all
He's full of crap. Sorry excuse really
If he says they are tired then they must be tired. He's around them all day everyday.
Like he cares enough about what people think to make excuses.... lol no.
Play your bench numb nutts.
Sit there and watch them "run out of gas".
If Tony is tired at 30 after a day's rest, maybe he should just retire.
Knicks played the same amount of minutes as the Spurs
Just sayin...
I thought Tony was young and could play extended minutes?
I guess Felton wasn't tired, tbh
A home game after a day of rest and the team was too tired to compete? Wtf kind of excuse is that?
Yeah he should have played the bench if they were tired.
Tony, I know you're tired, so get in there, drive the paint, and chuck up as many shots as you can. Tiago, you've made 13 straight points but this is Tony's time to shine.
sit them. what the . especially Manu. seriously risking injury if you continue to play his bum 50% healthy ass. and you could tell Tony was off rhythm this game, just don't play him.
Didn't you hear?! Manu's 3 turnovers!
tp didnt look tired playing half ass midget defense on felton, he sure didnt look tired when he went hero mode in the 4th...
suddenly he morphed into russel westbrick with the bad shot selections
Can't win them all.
claiming guys were tired vs. the oldest team in the league
yeah but they're a young team
Sounds pretty accurate to me. I mean, they looked tired in the 4th quarter.
It's one thing to ask why they were tired. That would be a good question.
But if you really would accuse Pop of lying or making false excuses...that's completely untrue.
Thanks for calling those strategic time-outs in the 4th qtr when the spurs started losing the lead. That really helped the players that were out of gas.
Thanks Pop! Those time-outs to call decent plays and replace tired/injured players with the ones that got you that lead was pure genius.
Nice win! Oh wait....
tired my ass, they had most of the knicks neutralized on offense with the lead, untill westbrick went kobe on us with the bad shot selections...
this team does alot of stupid when they have leads, and when they give up the lead, they usually just give up the game...typical as always
I guess leaving Kidd open for 3 is considered good effort.
TBH, this was all part of CIA Pop's plan. He has losses built into the schedule that he uses to motivate and teach the team. Didn't you know?
