Gregg Popovich trolls Craig Sager in preseason.


Treasure this, Craig, because if you are lucky enough, that's about the most words you will get from Pop in the entire 2013/2014 season.

Random NBA .GIF of the Day: Pop doesn't think too highly of you.

Probably. Via: @cjzero
You are stupid, your question is stupid, I hate you all, can I go home now? - Pop's exact inner thoughts.

The best Gregg Popovich moments of the 2012-2013 season.


"Troll so hard that David Stern won't even dare to fine me. Except for that time he fined me. But then again, what's 250 grand to a NBA coach, can you please remind me? Troll so... oh wait, he fined the whole team, 250K for sitting my starters must have been Stern's dream. It's too bad the Spurs are in the finals to pour your ratings downstream. HA." - What coach Gregg Popovich would say (rap) if he was a rapper, probably.

Random NBA .GIF of the Day: The rare Gregg Popovich dance.

Coolest. Dude. Ever. Please lord, let the Spurs win this one. There's no way Pop can still dance like that without throwing a hip out, but I would still give anything for the possibility of another dance.

Gregg Popovich is really worried about "turnovers" in his interview.


Considering the Spurs gave up the ball 8 times to the Grizzlies for a total of 8 steals in the first quarter, I think Coach Pop's answer is very appropriate.

Gregg Popovich jokes with David Aldridge in another classic interview.


An answer with more than 5 words, no snark, and a smile during an in between quarters interview? Where is the real Coach Pop and what did you do with him? I haven't seen him smile since the whole Hack-A-Shaq joke he played back in 2008, back when he had this jesus beard look going on. Pop is just the coolest.

Gregg Popovich trolls in another classic interview with Craig Sager.


These will never get old. Coach Pop gave him exactly 9 words after two seemingly long, well thought out questions by Craig Sager. You could tell Craig really put in the effort to ask good questions. Okay, maybe not the first one, that one was doomed for failure before the words even left his mouth. I know this is all good and fun, but I just can't help to think that there is genuine hate between the two. So I guess I should go ahead and trash my sitcom idea about the two now. Wait, scratch that. Imagine Pop and Craig as roommates in an apartment in New York. Just the mere thought of the possibilities are giving me chills. Every episode will feature at least one or two, it's not decided yet, Pop insult to Craig's outfit of choice for a good measure, and of course, laughs. Yep, still a great idea. I am a genius.

Notes: San Antonio Spurs vs. Miami Heat [11/29/12]


Miami Heat 105 - San Antonio Spurs 100

The Good

Heat: They didn't get embarrassed on their home floor by a San Antonio Spurs B team.

Spurs: This is still a Spurs basketball team and can definitely hold their own. Their flawless, unselfish ball movement, although sometimes unnecessary wreaked havoc among the Miami defense. They read the Heat infamous ball handler trap quick and rewarded the screen slipping Tiago Splitter. The Brazilian's height did cause match up problems for the opponent bigs, unfortunately he did not get the ball as much as he would have liked.

Everyone on this team can shoot, especially when they are wide open. All it took was some dribble penetration to draw attention for kick outs to patient shooters and the buckets naturally fell. The 10 three pointers they had in this game kept it interesting, but at the end of the day, they are just a bunch of good back up players.

The Bad

Heat: This team has yet to find their title earning defense, they look sluggish, and are always a step slower. Losing Shane Battier is a huge hit, his versatility on this end of the floor covers up a lot of holes the Miami exposes in their risky approaches. Wrinkle head's importance is irreplaceable, even more so when they have to play the defensively challenged Rashard Lewis in his place.

Dwyane Wade has not been the same player ever since he switched shoe brands, he looks old and beaten up. I am sure he will find himself somewhere in the season, but as of right now, he is a liability on defense, (just a bystander in transition) and has not proven to be a reliable offense tool.

Is it just me or are you sick of LeBron James just not going 100 percent until his team is down in the fourth quarter. This was a game that should have ended early and quickly. I understand that he wants do more than just score for his team. However if your team is on the brink of losing to second unit team, just because you want to pass the ball when you have the ability to get to the basket at will and draw 2 million fouls, you should really reconsider your game. There are times when a Superstar has to take a game over by himself. We saw already saw that in you, in the game 6 of that Boston series and the 32 point second half against the Houston Rockets. Now, we want you to hone that beast, and unleash it in the right circumstances. For God's sake, you had the chubby Boris Diaw, although a solid defender, is too slow-footed to guard you. You could have gotten right past him even if you go at half speed.

Spurs: No Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili or Danny Green. They lost and might get an undeserving punishment from David Stern, because no one out trolls the commissioner.

Oh, and Gary Neal might just be one of the worst defenders ever, he makes a 37 year old Ray Allen look like a good off the dribble, attack the basket type of player, something I can't type without giggling like one of those kids on Barney.

Gregg Poppovich kills another reporter.


Classic Gregg Popovich moment, completely ignoring the question and making a complete ass out of David Aldridge on national television. David should consider himself lucky, because he did manage to get more than 5 words out of Coach Pop and that doesn't happen often. So much for the promise Pop made with his wife to be nicer to the reporters, guess he will get his end of complains at home.
