Ethan J. Skolnick

I did survive the press session without being called trite, however

Ethan J. Skolnick

Instead, Popovich talked about being not wanting a replay, so Spurs could push the ball.

Ethan J. Skolnick

I asked Popovich about whether he believed he was allowed to sub Duncan during Allen delay.... He didn't really answer.

Ethan J. Skolnick

Popovich said the 2 offensive rebounds had nothing to do with Duncan being out.

Ethan J. Skolnick

Credit to @tomdangelo44 for asking Popovich why he took Duncan out twice.

Ethan J. Skolnick

Manu Ginobili is here, shooting. The way he talked last night, I wasn't sure he would get out of bed.

Joseph Goodman

Got some great responses to the all important question: Where were you with 28.2 seconds left? Keep them coming. Will post after practice.

Ethan J. Skolnick

Back at the arena. So, that happened last night....

Israel Gutierrez

Time to watch sleepy-eyed, cranky reporters ask an even crankier Pop questions. Should be fun

Joseph Goodman

And extra bonus points if you left early and out yourself.

Joseph Goodman

Where were you (emotional, spiritually, physically) with with 28.2 seconds left? Posting best fan tweets on the blog.

Joseph Goodman

Arena security, by the way, was on the ball last night. Can't let those people back in. Sorry. Shouldn't have left.

Joseph Goodman

This being South Florida, someone will sue AAA and the Heat for not letting them back in the building after they left early.

Ethan J. Skolnick

Just got off the phone with my 94-year-old grandmother. Asked her if she turned it off down 5. "Are u crazy?!"
