Gregg Popovich speaks after Spurs lose to Heat in Miami

I made four or five threes, I made two. I'm experienced and talented, scores great in the fourth quarter. I make the jokes, I used to make them too. I didn't have a lot of ability, I thought I could play grass up. I played it well, and I just played better, and that's been unsurprising. What are some of those approaches you've had that have played best for you so far? He's played well in the defensive end, he's scored some good. He's got a good focus, he gets into it. The offensive end is basically shooting, the decision making. I think it's quite an interesting thing. I had the same thing with Nellie Humphrey, because you often, if not always, have those post-game runs with Sparrow and Mahan. How much have they grown to mean to you that after a game, you can exchange a few rules with them? It's very satisfying. I had the opportunity to coach a lot of guys over the years. Still the big picture. Sparrow's fantastic, fantastic. Jason, of course, we see those games, see those guys after the games, wish them well, and continue to support. Coach, you mentioned Sparrow earlier there. Did some of the ways that they generally kind of pack the paint and wall off the shots at the rim force some of your guys into the kind of shots that you might not necessarily want to take? Well, I thought we had good shots. We were shooting over and over and over, but we didn't shoot them. The shots that we took were good. Do you expect any roof-shattering trades between now and tomorrow for you guys? Yeah, I don't think we should sleep at all. I think we should keep our phone on the phone. Nope, have a little liquor, a little bit of that type, and then stay asleep. Be ready, there's some amazing stuff going on. I couldn't be prouder.
