Mike Monroe: Whatever It Takes
Gregg Popovich said he decided to start Jeremy Richardson in Monday afternoon's game against the Charlotte Bobcats only because Richardson just signed his second 10-day contract and the Spurs coaches wanted to see what he might be able to give them.
Of course, there was more to it than that. Pre-season is for looking at rookies to see what they might be able to do.
Call me cynical, but I think Popovich did it to mess with Bobcats coach Sam Vincent's head just a little.
Vincent game-planned Monday's game figuring his high-scoring power forward, Gerald Wallace, would be matched up against Fabricio Oberto, not Michael Finley, whom Popovich assigned to defend Wallace.
Popovich pretty much stuck with small lineups throughout Monday's game, and Ime Udoka did a fine defensive job on Wallace, too.
Richardson played only 11 minutes and 18 seconds, but his presence in the starting lineup seemed to befuddle the Bobcats a bit.

That's the kind of thing that you gotta love about Pop. He makes you think one thing and then switches it just to mess with your head.
come on... jeremy richardson threw someone off?

Well it's written right there. And we won. So I'm guessing he might've had something to do with it.come on... jeremy richardson through someone off?
Pop said he wanted to see what Richardson could do.
Monroe thinks it was CIA Pop.
Yeah, it threw them off so much they led at the end of the first quarter.
Maybe Pop could do that against a good team for a change!
