    Spurs are now 10-0 in Season openers in Pop's career as coach.

    Wish they were 10-0 is their last games of the year.

    Still this is a pretty nice accomplishment, and speaks volumes of Pop's training camp preparations and scouting of their first opponents.

    Congrats.

    Pop didn't coach the opener in his one non-Duncan year.

    NBA record is 11 straight, but I can't remember who the coach was.

    The more I think about it, it might have been Bill Fitch.

    Fitch has in in basketball
    In all sports, it's Tom Landry with 17.

    Other coaches to win 10 straight openers:

    http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/dailyd...lydime-061103a



    Please forgive me for putting Angels new avatar in here, but it was part of the snippet.


    Pop Joins A Texas Icon
    The Spurs opened their season with a 97-91 victory at Dallas, making Gregg Popovich the fourth head coach or manager in North American pro sports history to win his team's opening game in 10 consecutive seasons. The others who recorded streaks of 10 or more seasons were Tom Landry, 17 (1965-1981); Bill Fitch, 11 (1978-1989); and George Allen, 11 (1966-





    I'd be willing to bet that Pop is the only one that's 10-0...

    I know Landry didn't win his first game. Pretty sure Fitch didn't...

    Man, there's nothing like the day after a Spurs victory.



    And when it's against the Mavs or Lakers . . .
