I didn't get to watch the game until after I had seen the outcome and knew about the 3 pt barrage. So when there was a timeout with just over 2 minutes left in the second quarter this is what pop said.
"Eh, great job moving the basketball, all the shots are great. Let's feel confident, let'em fly. Get your name in the paper".
I love how he picks up on Miami's poor perimeter defense and just tells his guys to have at'er.
If I could be coached by anyone I'd pick pop over anyone. Hell I'd love to just follow him around.Last edited by ezz_bee; Thu Jun 13, 2013, 01:47 PM."They're going to have to rename the whole conference after us: Toronto Raptors 2014-2015 Northern Conference Champions" ~ ezzbee Dec. 2014

Just got to the third qtr interview...
Doris Burke: Mike, thank you. What did you see from your team that got that kind of separation Miami?
Gregg Popovich: I think we played real solid defense.
Doris Burke: Lebron James 9 straight (points) to end the quarter. What are you asking for from you defense on him?
Gregg Popovich: (pauses) I can't tell you that.

"...Sean Marks, a New Zealander who played for San Antonio for two seasons, puts it, "The ball doesn't stick." For better or worse, the ball often sticks in America. A few months ago, Pop was scouting an opponent. He won't say which one. On video, Pop saw an international player wide open for a shot, with a confused look on his face. That's because his point guard, an American, was dribbling in circles."
How ironic that there is a mention of Sean Marks (former Raptor player) and John Lucas (current Raptor player) in a discussion of what the Surs to right and what other teams do wrong).

Interesting read.
How I long to see the Raptors play like the bold.
"Consider that the U.S. has won only two of the major world junior championships in the past 26 years -- not even in 2007, with Stephen Curry and Michael Beasley on the roster -- and the root rot of the U.S. system is all the more clear. 'That's a statement about where we are,' Buford says. 'When we put our best players together, we aren't playing well.'
