"I have no reaction to that. Insignificant."

RJ: i don't really give a what pop has to say

[scottspurs]

Tim Duncan looks ready to dominate.

[Fpoonsie]

Hmmm...from RJ's reaction to the question, one could reasonably assume he knows EXACTLY to whom Pop was referring. You could almost see the light kinda fade from his eyes a bit.

PLEASE show up, RJ.

[Death In June]

RJ really doesn't seem motivated at all.

[#2!]

Tim's reaction to Cuban's "I hate the Spurs" comment is great.

Richard's reaction to Pop's "played like dogs" comment was not as inspiring. "Everyone is en led to their opinion." Man, it seems like RJ has really come to hate his time with Pop.

Thanks SDC!!

Wow, I kinda wonder if Malik hadn't injured his ankle if he'd see even spot minutes.

[Mal]

Tim is so cool guy.

[mingus]

i feel for RJ, seriously, getting blamed for not playing well when he takes what 4 shots? lmao

[DesignatedT]

haha tim takin a all over mark cuban

Taking four shots is part of the problem. He's not getting paid an exorbitant salary to put up four shots; he's supposed to be a scorer.

[DesignatedT]

RJ better come out with some in intensity and stop being such a pussy. seriously.

You got called out. How you going to respond?

[spursdotcom]

Pop's video from today had an error previously showing 4/18, it's all good now.

[Chomag]

Wow! RJ realy didn't seem to care about Pop calling him out. RJ is like "Whatever I'm getting my 15mil reguardless suckers"

[spurs10]

RJ is a pro and probably more critical of himself than anyone. I think his answer was a throwaway and he'll play better tonight regardless.

[Stringer_Bell]

Timmy showing his mental toughness and fundemental approach to getting wins, RJ showing his weakness and tendency toward excuses. We know RJ can get it in there and fight, but it's so inconsistent that I don't think he even know what gives him those good performances. "It's my first year here..." - he's not a rookie, he's probably the piece that can push us over the top if he finds some courage and isn't afraid to attack.

[polandprzem]

Yea, all the season I was defending RJ because of his approach. steadly working and progressing.
Now I don't know what to think? It's playoffs and he should be more clear with his statments.
He should take personaly 'the dogs' quote

[widowmaker]

I really dont care how RJ feels or if he's gonna be here next year he just shows no motivation to win a game in this series he could care less. That being said one guy can not get in the way of this team winning this series everybody needs to pull together and come through, Pop needs to see that too if RJ is looking like a zombie out there pull his ass and let someone else take his minutes.

[nkdlunch]

I'm the biggest hater and even I think ppl in here are being too tough on him today. It's the playoffs, a clean slate. Let's forget the regular season. RJ had 1 bad playoff game, like he said, you go from 1 game being a zero to 1 game being a hero.

I think RJ is gonna respond tonight.

now if he doesn't.....

[Sisk]

"I have no reaction to that. Insignificant."

Tim Duncan, still teaching Badass 101.

Yes! Such a badass response.. the whole thing

[Sisk]

Is pop still drunk from last night? haha

[FalleNxWiZarDx]

Rj plz man play hard!

[Old School 44]

How come everyone seems so afraid of Pop? I am assuming all of these guys are professional media guys asking the questions. The one question about Rick Carlisle framed with what Mark Cuban thinks was just BAD!
