Spurs’ Murray warms to Popovich’s tough love

[dbestpro]

Am I the only one who doesn't think this is a good thing? Murray's not supposed to analyze his coaching. He's supposed to take it in. I don't want him rationalizing what Pop's doing instead of reacting to it.

That said, I'm not saying there's anything wrong with Murray or his prospects, but I think going "oh, you're trying to motivate me by making me upset" kills most of the motivation.

My take is I think you're over thinking it. Murray is responding to the coaching.

Especially since new planets have been discovered. Why does he care about being demanding. It's just basketball.

He enforces players not being stupid. I don't know how that's so demanding. I guess by NBA standards.

Ask Parker

"he's very demanding."

For good reason. It didn't take long for Pop to decide that his talents were better suited to another continent. So far he has traveled far and wide after leaving the Spurs org.
