    Popovich: That wasn't a tough loss
    By Jeff McDonald on Apr 24, 09 03:24 PM |

    Spurs coach Gregg Popovich says his team's 88-67 loss to the Mavericks in Game 3 wasn't a tough defeat.

    It was embarrassing.

    "It wasn't a tough loss," Popovich said Friday, as his team regrouped with a workout at SMU. "A tough loss to me is, both teams play their ass off, and somebody makes a shot with one second left on the clock that's contested. That's a tough loss. Last night was just more an embarrassing kind of loss."

    The Spurs trailed by as many as 35 points at one point, and finished with a franchise scoring low for a playoff game. So futile were the Spurs that Popovich benched his starters for most of the second half.

    With the victory, Dallas seized a 2-1 in the first-round series, which resumes Saturday afternoon with Game 4 at American Airlines Center.

    "The other team dominated from the get-go," Popovich said. "They threw a punch and we never responded."

    Bruce Bowen called it the most disheartening playoff loss he had ever been associated with.

    "Hands down, that was the worst," Bowen said. "All the things we built here, the standard that we play with, to go out and have that kind of performance is really disappointing."

    I will be completely devastated if Bruce has to go at the end of the season

    So for Pop this loss isn't disheartening but for Bruce it is.

    I'd hate for Bruce to go somewhere else. Then he'd beat the crap out of Manu when his team plays us...

    Stay, Bruce, Stay!
