GREGG POPOVICH RUMORS

Spurs shrug off blowout loss, look ahead to Game 4

For all intents, the Spurs put the Thunder in an elimination game Thursday night. And Oklahoma City responder with the type of effort that San Antonio coach Gregg Popovich could appreciate. The Spurs' lead in the best-of-seven Western Conference final is 2-1 after the 102-82 loss in Game 3. The fourth game is back in Oklahoma City on Saturday. "They played really well...

Popovich's nasty words give Spurs extra push

The word nasty and its cousin filthy are enjoying a renaissance of sorts in sports linguistics. No longer relegated to describing how little boys feel about peas or tea parties, nasty has come to describe the phenomenon of being so good it is almost naughty. Filthy slider. Nasty defense. So it was all kinds of word-genius during a Game 1 timeout when cameras caught Spurs coach...

Column: Spurs playing big boy ball at right time

The new nasty is plastered on T-shirts all around San Antonio, though the description hardly fits. There's probably not a more cerebral or mild-mannered team in the NBA than the Spurs, who are making basketball look so easy that sometimes their coach has to remind them a good street fight might not be so bad. Gregg Popovich gave them a rallying cry in Game 1 against Oklahoma...

‘I want some nasty’ shirts already popular among Spurs fans (Pictures)

As expected, the phrase “I want some nasty” has caught on quickly in San Antonio.

The team responded by grinding out a huge victory, and a new catch...

Video: Popovich wants “some nasty”

Sometimes the NBA huddle isn’t about making any major adjustments or going to the board to show how your team needs to execute. Sometimes it is finding the write words to motivate your team. Gregg Popovich went to the latter prior to the 4th quarter in yesterday’s San Antonio Spurs victory. The Spurs were trailing [...]

Popovich spurs San Antonio to Game 1 win

With the Spurs in danger of dropping the first game of the Western Conference finals, and with it the home-court edge, coach Gregg Popovich called for his troops to get "nasty." Popovich prodded them to defend, take good shots and fight. He wanted them to play like the Spurs team that's gone undefeated for 19 games stretching back more than six weeks. They did...

Video: Popovich explains 'I want some nasty'

After a sloppy first half versus the Oklahoma City Thunder, San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich lit into the team and asked the players during a huddle in the second half to play with some more passion, or as Pop would say, "I want some nasty!" But at first blush, the comment it kind of comes off as bit odd but check out what Pop meant by asking for some nasty...

Popovich's tongue lashing spurs San Antonio to series-opening win

SAN ANTONIO -- San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich tried to play innocent. However, he could only deny so much after television cameras caught him demanding to "see some nasty" from his team following a lackluster third quarter. Unseemly as it might have been, Popovich's unusual urging worked, spurring the Spurs to a 101-98 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder...
