Popovich: Series goal...

#2
Pressuring Bibby continually up the court is pretty effective against the Kings - limits clock time running the offense. Will be interesting to see how they play that. Not to mention, Bibby is clutch of course - a very important offensive weapon that needs to be contained.

He can go ahead and try, we have plenty of other weapons.

I'm surprised his gameplan isn't taking Brad out of the game. We usually lose if he has an off-night.

Yes and no. At times pressing Bibby has worked and it does eat clock and resulted in a couple TO's through out the season, BUT Teams have been doing it all season long so the offense has LOTS of practice adjusting to pressure on Mike. I suspect that it will not pay off for the Spurs as well as they would like. The big problem with that kind of pressure espcially if they run both gaurds at him is it inevitably leads to a a miss mathc or open man down court and a couple good passes can create a great scoring opertunity. As for coveing Bonzi... good luck I just don't see Manu or Finely up to the task.

Good, and our goal is to stop Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. Good luck to both, but it's not going to happen.

Whoever plays the smartest team basketball wins this series, simple as that.

Another quote from CIA Pop:

HOUSTON — The Spurs left the AT&T Center late Monday unsure whether they should prepare to face Sacramento in the opening round of the playoffs or wait to see if the Los Angeles Lakers would drop to them.

Coach Gregg Popovich, however, already had decided what California opponent he would like to see.

"I'm hoping for Pomona-Pitzer," he said. "Everybody else scares me to death."

Good luck to your Kings in the playoff. I'm certainly looking forward to it.

As the players say, Pop has a tendancy to "go Serbian" on them during halftime if they aren't playing well.
