sad, yet still funny, quote from Popovich

[WorldBFree]

from espn.com's Daily Dime:

Spurs coach Gregg Popovich to the team at halftime with a 25-point lead: "Understand where we're at. This is not January in Atlanta. This is Game 2 of the NBA championship. You know what that kid [LeBron] is capable of. I don't want to bore you with the whole 'Play like it's zero-zero,' but respect it. Don't let this pass you by."

Wow. I read this forum everyday and never post but that one got to me. These players have got to use this for motivation.

Lets see, how many people have a comment like that about the hawks since the season ended?

Popovich

Stephen Jackson

Dan Patrick

Who else??

I'll be glad when we are not a laughing stock anymore.

Ain't it nice to see that we're not thought of as a...oh, screw it. And you wonder why I continually want this team to focus on the here and now and to stop shooting for 7th seeds in 2010.
