    By Sam Amick,
    Meanwhile in San Antonio, some 1,700 miles away from Golden State Warriors headquarters in Oakland, Calif., it’s all rainbows and puppies so far. At least one super team is living up to expectations.
    While most of the basketball world has been fixated on the first few days of the Warriors’ Kevin Durant era, coach Gregg Popovich and his Spurs have gotten off to an impressive 4-0 start. After drubbing the Warriors 129-100 in the opener, San Antonio - which faces Utah (twice) and the Clippers this week – downed Sacramento, New Orleans, and Miami while offering early answers to key questions about their group.
    Nothing extremely new that we don't know in general, but it was a nice read w/ some fine quotes
    including Kawhi's: "I’m a team guy. I’ll turn in all my MVPs if I get an NBA championship."

    Read it earlier today, and loved it. Thanks for posting. I think we are all excited with the improvements what Kawhi has made this year, and Pau said he wants to play harder on D, and Yes LMA is happy in San Antonio with the Spurs

    The story has a strange line:

    The back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year has been his sensational self on that end so far, treating the ball like Thor does his ax while averaging a league-best 3.3 steals
    Thor and his 'ax'?

    What is Amick trying to say?

    Thor is a comic book super-hero whose weapon is an axe which he uses with authority to defeat his enemies.!

    na i'm just messing with you. It's a hammer, Mjolnir is a hammer. He uses an axe nowadays because he is unworthy (aka too white and a man). In Ultimate Thor, Mjolnir is a hybrid between an axe and a hammer

    You guys crack me up, but I know my Marvel comics. Thor originally uses a hammer called Mjolnir. Everything else like the axe was because of story purposes or it was alternate reality stuff ...

    Another curious tidbit was reading that it was Timmy who told Kawhi that he needed to draw fouls more often.

    I laughed, maybe the writer is trying to prove he isn't a nerd?

    Thor's hammer analogy aside, what's up with calling the Spurs a super team?

    Spurs have never had a super team.

    I suppose it's all relative, but I can certainly see why he views the Spurs as a "super team." More like a super franchise.
