at Louis missing the point of the thread.

In San Antonio, it's Popovich's way or no way.

like holt is gonna pay any of these guys big money to play basketball.....holt maybe one cheap son of gun...but he aint stupid

Probably could've added Devin Brown to that list - especially in light of his last supposed "dust-up" with head coach Mike Brown.

Don't forget Stevie Franchise too

What happened with Coach Brown ?

"That kind of conversation with Popovich would be worth paying to see."

That comment alone was worth the whole article, because of the mental image. It might be the first time in history for a coach to get ejected during the pre-game. Can't you see Pop looking like he's going to grind his teeth to powder and pop blood vessels in his eyeballs?

For all his talent, and he has a lot, Artest is a ing fruitcake. And it's hard to imagine that it wouldn't get worse as the pressure increases late in the playoffs. Can you imagine him announcing that he can't play 45 minutes before a playoff game? Pop might actually throw chairs at him like Bobby Knight. At least until his eyeballs exploded.

This whole Pop things makes me laugh. Its all about Duncan.

I think it's a blend of both of them. They have a great relationship, they work well together and that goes through the team.
