Q&A: Manu Ginobili
Courtesy of Dan McCarney
On Golden State as championship favorites:
“Golden State…are razor sharp. But (the playoffs) are an area where they do not have much experience. You have to see what happens. In a series of elimination…the 65 games you won (in the regular season) are useless.”
On the Spurs’ late season surge:
“I think in the last two weeks, after that incredible game we lost to New York, it seems that we are improving and shaping the team we want to be. It’s a little late in the season, but it came.”
On his relationship with Spurs coach Gregg Popovich:
“During the season it is difficult to be so connected, because each one is immersed in his own (job). But when it ends, we usually have more personal conversations, especially when we eat. Hence the mutual appreciation arises naturally.”
On finally retiring from Argentina’s national team:
“The selection (national team) is so ingrained in me. It is deep inside me and it’s hard. But the reality is that the chance (of playing again) is negligible because I no longer young. The selection is to have fun, to give all you have and today I am unable to do that.”

Spurs quotes after their 95-93 overtime win against the Pelicans
Courtesy of Nakia Hogan
Spurs Head Coach Gregg Popovich:
(On Tim Duncan passing Walt Bellamy for 10thall-time in career rebounds...)
"Timmy passed Walt Bellamy tonight in rebounds (for 10th in NBA history). He's an incredible, incredible specimen. When I say specimen, I don't mean physical, I mean just mental toughness. His spirit and his professionalism are just unparalleled."
(On Tim Duncan passing Karl Malone for fifth place all-time in career double-doubles...)
"If he's fortunate enough to break the record, I'll probably say that he broke the record. It's our team and my player, and I'll probably announce that when it happens, but tying doesn't do much. We don't care about ties. If he breaks the record, we'll announce it."
(On Manu Ginobili...)
"Manu's a competitor. That's the way he plays every game."
(On if the Spurs plan in overtime was to limit Anthony Davis...)
"I thought we played good defense on (Anthony Davis) all night long. I thought Matty [Bonner] and Boris [Diaw] did everything they could to try to limit a great player."
(On if he'll try to forget this year's December schedule...)
"I think I'll remember it. I mean, I still remember [Derek] Fisher's 0.4. Some things are just indelible, you never forget them. Some good ones, some bad ones, but that's part of the deal. I'm just really proud of the guys. I can't imagine a better group to have done what they did this month. The 18 games and seven back-to-backs, and the quality of opponents is ridiculous. I don't think that anybody else is playing 10 or 11 playoff-type teams in one month, in addition to the back-to-backs. I think these guys persevered really well, and we probably could have won a few more games, well I know we could have won a few more games, but exhaustion got us several times. It looked like it did it again when we were down five with two minutes to go in overtime, but that's why these guys are a fantastic group, they just hung in there and just kept on playing. As we said before, nobody cares about your schedule and all that sort of thing. We don't let them dwell on it, but it is a fact. It put us in a hole, and now we have to do what we can to see if we can recover from it without Tony [Parker] and Kawhi [Leonard] for a while."
Spurs Forward Tim Duncan:
(On the last rebound after the miss by Tyreke Evans...)
"In a situation like that, to get something that closes it out is such a relief. We have gotten to that point sometimes where the ball stays alive or they make that shot, so to get over that hump and get my hands on the ball and know it's over. Then it isn't actually. But this is a great win for us. We've had so many overtimes this month and we finally get to get one, so this is a good way to end it."
(On tip-in to force the game into overtime...)
"I don't know what that was, I can't explain that one, but I'll take it. That was more luck than anything in the world, so I'll take that with me. We deserve one."
(On defensive work by Tiago Splitter and Matt Bonner...)
"They were great, they were very physical. He (Anthony Davis) still played pretty well. He made shots and made plays. He is having an MVP type of season. We need to change something on him, and those guys just tried to bother him as much as possible, try to make his life as tough as possible, and I think they did. They frustrated him a couple of times and that is what we needed."
Spurs Guard Danny Green:
(On the tip-in by Tim Duncan...)
"I saw the pass and it wasn't very hopeful. It didn't look too good, and when I saw the tip, I started gaining more hope back. It rolled around a bit, and when I saw it go in, I had excitement. We got new life."
(On what was discussed in the huddle going into that play...)
"Just talking about the plays they were running and how we were going to guard them - how we were going to guard the pick-and-roll and how they had a play they would run over and over that just killed us. They played well, they shot well. Good thing Jrue Holiday fouled out because he was making everything down the stretch. They went up five or six points. We just talked about how we had new life and how we had to fix those little mistakes on the pick-and-roll. "

Spurs' Leonard tears ligament
San Antonio Spurs F Kawhi Leonard has a torn ligament in his right hand and will miss tonight's game against the Portland Trail Blazers. Recently Leonard spoke of the injury.
"Not as bad as it sounds," he said. "I should be back soon."
"Not as bad as it sounds," he said. "I should be back soon."

Q&A: Becky Hammon
Courtesy of Doris Burke
Doris Burke: OK, Becky, so you're three months into what is uncharted territory as the first full-time, female assistant in the NBA. What's been the easiest part of the first few months?
Becky Hammon: Probably the basketball part has been the easiest and most relaxing. There are so many other things coaches worry about that you never worry about as players. But going to practice, being in the meetings -- that has been the most fun part of the job and probably the easiest part of the job.
I think probably people would be curious, if you're going to start your career as a coach, why you'd pick the NBA as your jumping-off point. Because obviously, there would be attention there that maybe you wouldn't have if you started women's college basketball or the WNBA. Why that place as your jumping-off point?
I think, for me, it was just the best opportunity available and the opportunity to learn under arguably the best coach in NBA history. If he's not the best, he's certainly top three. To be able to sit there and be a student and just listen, I learned so much last year, just when I was there kind of coming in on my own terms. I knew this was somebody that could teach me a lot, not just about basketball, but about life. And to me, there is always a bigger story than just basketball. This is one of those opportunities that is kind of bigger than life, like, 'Wow, pinch me.' For me, to step into that kind of learning space was a no-brainer.
Give us some sense of what Gregg Popovich is like, both as your boss, but also as a man.
I don't want to let the rabbit out of the hat. He is a brilliant mind. I think first of all is his mind. Second, his worldview, his progressive thinking -- mainly on social issues. He, as an individual, has a great worldview and a great understanding of people and societies. You've probably heard of Pop's famous dinners. We'll get into different things, talking and ...
You're drinking much better wine now.
[Laughing] Absolutely. I'm getting an education in wine -- that's for sure. But he's just a brilliant mind and very compassionate person.
What are your day-to-day responsibilities?
It depends. Scouting is divided up, so I have my teams that I scout. When you have a scout coming up, you're immersed in film, studying numbers and video, trying to get your scout tape and the scouting report. Pop likes to take a lot of input from everybody. We have our little meetings, and everybody gives their opinions. Maybe one person knows more about this team than the other one, so we just kind of dialogue. Those meetings and the video sessions without the players, those are the funnest ones.
You're sitting in your first meeting with Gregg Popovich, and you have to say something. Take me back to the first time you said, "You know what? I can pitch in here."
Well, my first approach was I didn't speak unless spoken to. [Laughs] Last year, I was just kind of interning, I call it, even though they don't like me to call it that. They had called and said, "You know, you can come in anytime you want." So I took advantage of that. The first time he asked me my opinion was in regard to who I thought won the starting backup point guard job last year. So I gave my input. He went around the room and asked everybody's opinion. ... And then, you know, he makes the decision. Ultimately, he makes the decision.
How much does it help that you were a fixture in San Antonio because of your WNBA history?
I don't want the WNBA to get pushed aside here in this story. Because without the WNBA, Pop doesn't get to observe me with my teammates. He doesn't get to observe me in the community. He doesn't get to observe me in those kind of settings. I think him watching me play was, for him, like, "Hey, this girl, she thinks the game. She's small." I'm kind of cut from a similar cloth in the fact that he likes the underdogs. He likes the guys that have a little bit of a chip on their shoulder -- the last kid picked at recess, you know? I think he just maybe saw something in my game and in me, as a person and as a leader, that he identified with and said, "Hey, you know, that girl knows her stuff." But without the WNBA, I never get this opportunity to learn basketball at a very high level.
When you're coaching guys such as Tim Duncan, Tony Parker and Manu Ginobli, these are guys who are all probably going to be Hall of Famers, how do you know they're accepting your coaching?
Obviously, there has to be some trust built up. I'm sure they've watched me and observed me. But they had to get to know me. And that was a process, to build a relationship. Some of coaching is X's and O's, but a lot of it is just people management and trusting, buying into what that person is telling you about how they're going to help you win games. So for me, this is a situation when you're talking about the greatest power forward to play the game -- I'm learning from him. Are you kidding me? If I see something in the mix of a game, if I can give him or Tony one or two tidbits, that's the role I take. It's been a process building relationships, trust and rapport with all those guys. But I think we've come a long way. And it's a great work environment for me now. All of them have been so respectful and receptive to anything I've said.
What is it about the Spurs' team culture that allows for this change to happen, first, but also gives you confidence that you can succeed with this change?
They value character, No. 1. When you have people of character, there's not a lot of backbiting or gossiping or the petty stuff that goes on. You buy into the team, and I'm not just talking about on the court. Everybody is open and honest. If they see something, they come up and address you directly. It's refreshing. When you did a good job, they tell you that you did a good job. And if you didn't do a good job, they tell you that, too. You can't be offended easily. You gotta take the criticism or the praise, and you learn from each experience.
What are the things you think Pop saw in you, aside from the basketball, that he thought, "OK, this could work?"
I think my story, just in general, is a story of someone who was overlooked, someone who was told they can't, someone who was told, "You're too slow. You're too short." I've heard every reason why I shouldn't be successful. And yet, you just take that all in. I always say you should be very careful with the voices you listen to. And my closest voices have always told me, "You can." I think that's the voice that I chose to listen to.
What burdens or challenges are you facing as you try to break the ceiling here?
First, I don't want to suck. [Laughs] I want to do a good job. I think it's as simple as that.
We can all relate to that.
I mean, there's some pressure to be successful. But I approach it like anything else. I'm accountable to God first. I know if I just walk the walk I'm supposed to walk and take care of things that I'm supposed to take care of and do what I'm supposed to do and be who I'm supposed to be, everything else kind of takes care of itself. When you're true to those characteristics, I think good things happen for you. I always talk about just taking advantage of opportunities. Even if it is the slightest little window, you walk through it. Maybe you pry your fingers in there, and then you throw that baby open. I love challenges. This was a challenge.
What will determine success for you in this place?
Everybody asks me, "What's the end game?" For me, right now, it's about learning. It's about becoming a better basketball mind. I'm in a situation right now, the best possible situation, where I can learn. I'm in an environment where the guys all are very respectful. You know, they call me Coach. They don't call me Miss Hammon or anything else. It's just Coach. It's just been a really good working relationship, and right now, I'm really enjoying that. And the endgame? I don't know. I don't know where that road is. Because if you would have asked me five years ago, you know, what was in store, this wouldn't be it. Even three or four years ago, I didn't think, "Hey, I wanna be a coach in the NBA." It was something that just happened very naturally. It all started with me just saying, "You know, can I peek my head in on a few practices because I'd like to see some of the stuff you're running and learn?" It just kind of steamrolled from there.
It is notable to me that Michele Roberts advances to a leadership position. Gillian Zucker -- same thing. And now your new position. What is it about the NBA that has fostered this atmosphere of being open to women in roles that maybe other professional leagues haven't quite gotten to?
Obviously, they have a progressive mind, starting with David Stern and the WNBA. The NBA really put its foot forward, footed the bill for the WNBA and put its money where its mouth was. I'm not sure why it hasn't happened in some other sport or at some other time. I'm not even sure in basketball why it hasn't happened. Because I know there's plenty of great basketball minds, and no one has pulled the trigger. R.C. [Buford, San Antonio's general manager] and Pop pulled the trigger. I think it's a nice step forward.
There are young women out there paying attention to this. What message do you think your hiring sends to little girls out there dribbling a ball, wherever they might be?
The mentality is changing. You know, if I had five dollars for every guy that walked up and challenged me to one-on-one, maybe I would have been retired by now and I wouldn't need a job. But the perception is changing. The scientific studies for this stuff are overwhelming -- sports are good for girls. You get better grades. You make better decisions. You're less likely to drink. You're less likely to get pregnant. I mean, you can read the statistics up and down. For me, that's always been the bigger message: that you learn to play on a team, to get along with each other, to enable each other, to make each other better, to not be threatened by one another, but that we can both be great together. And just the idea that you could do anything you want to do. I mean, the sky is really the limit. I'm doing basketball. You can be a CEO of a company. You might even be the president of the United States someday. I think women are just scratching the surface of what we can accomplish.

Spurs' Leonard talks future
After the San Antonio Spurs defeated the Los Angeles Clippers Kawhi Leonard addressed his possible future with the franchise. It was a bit of a shock when the two sides could not reach a deal on a max contract extension but Leonard recently indicated that he may be a Spur for the remainder of his career.
"I was never upset about (the extension)," Leonard said. "I mean they explained to me what their deal is and why they didn't do it yet. That'll play out. I'm just here to play basketball and have fun and try to win another championship. If I think about that, then I'm not going to be the same player that I am and will be just out of it."I can't be impatient. It would show on the floor, and I won't compete if I'm thinking about getting the ball. I'm just going out there to do my role, the same role — defense first and then see how the ball turns out on the offensive end."…"I don't think I'm going anywhere," Leonard said. "I mean they love me here. I like the organization, and if it was up to me, I want to finish out with one team like a lot of great players have done, to stay with one organization their whole career and just be loyal to that. You never know. We'll see what happens next summer, but I'm pretty sure I'll be in a Spurs jersey for my whole life."

NBA Power Rankings Week 1: November 3rd, 2014
The first week of the NBA season is in the books, and it did
not disappoint. There were exciting games already to watch and impressive
individual performances that are catching the attention of the national media
and even the casual fan. With that also comes the NBA power rankings. It is
early, but they still need to be done as there are some early season moves and
droppers that people will be surprised to see.
 |
| Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images |
1. San Antonio Spurs (1-1): The loss in Phoenix
with Kawhi Leonard returning the lineup is not enough to knock the defending
champs out of the top spot. They will be here until further notice.
2. Dallas Mavericks (2-1): Only challenger for the top spot
after going to the buzzer with the Spurs in their home opener. The Mavericks
are rolling, currently the highest scoring team in the NBA. They added talent
this offseason with Chandler Parsons and Tyson Chandler and they look right at
home next to Dirk Nowitzki and Monta Ellis.
3. Golden State
4. Memphis Grizzlies (3-0): The Grizzlies had their
prototypical game against the Hornets Saturday winning 71-69. It is the type of
game they have built their reputation on. The Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph
tandem is looking nice once again, as the tandem is averaging 44.3 points and
20.3 rebounds per game. They will have a busy week hosting Anthony Davis then
traveling to Phoenix , Oklahoma Milwaukee .
5. Miami Heat (3-0): They had some benefits in the first
week, as the Wizards were without Bradley Beal and Nene, and they also got the
Raptors at home with a trip to Philadelphia
sandwiched in-between. But they do not make the schedule, and won all the games
they were asked to play. That undefeated record will be put to the test this
week as they will host the Rockets and Timberwolves, and travel to Charlotte
and Dallas.
6. Houston Rockets (3-0): The Rockets took advantage of an
east early season slate, winning every game easily by double-digits. Things
will ratchet up for the Rockets this week, especially if Dwight Howard is
forced to miss any time after banging knees this weekend.

7. Cleveland Cavaliers (1-1): The Cavaliers put up a dud in
their home opener. Losing to the Knicks, who were on a back-to-back after
getting embarrassed in their own home opener by the Bulls is as bad as it
sounds. LeBron and company have some work to do, but did beat the Bulls in the
round robin the Cavaliers, Knicks and Bulls started the season in.
8. Chicago Bulls (2-1): They hammered the Knicks opening night,
and then got beat by the Cavaliers in overtime. The wins and losses at this
point are not of the utmost importance. Derrick Rose is who is already missing
games because of two twisted ankles. Yes, he twisted both ankles. He just
cannot stay healthy, even though he says he can play the team is being overly
cautious, and rightfully so, as he is injured.
9. Los Angeles Clippers (2-1): Easily the most
underachieving team in the first week of the season. They played close games
with the Oklahoma City Thunder sans Kevin Durant and then Russell Westbrook,
then beat the Lakers by only seven. They followed that up with a loss to the
Kings. That game Wednesday in Golden State
10. New York Knicks (2-1): Derek Fisher is getting the most
out of a roster that many people thought to be extremely flawed. He is using
the depth he has to his advantage, playing anywhere from 10-12 players a night.
It is working, as the Knicks knocked off the Cavaliers and Hornets after a
disappointing home and season opener. Things are looking up for the Knicks, but
they have a busy week ahead. The Knicks are set to play four games in five
nights against teams they will be fighting for playoff spots in the Eastern
Conference in the Wizards, Pistons, Nets and Hawks.
11. Toronto Raptors (2-1): The Raptors hurt themselves
against the Heat, missing 15 free throws and shooting 25 percent from the foul
line. It will disappoint some people, but they showed they belong and will
challenge for a top three seed in the East most likely after the Cavaliers and
Bulls.
12. Phoenix Suns (2-1): Isaiah Thomas is fitting in nicely
with the Suns, as he Goran Dragic and Eric Bledsoe finished out the game
together in a victory over the Spurs. The good feelings from that game were quickly
washed away though as the Suns lost to the Jazz, albeit in a back-to-back.
13. Washington Wizards (2-1): After a season opening defeat
at the hands of the Heat, the Wizards pulled off two victories over the Magic
and Bucks. They need to continue winning the ones they are expected to win
until Bradley Beal returns and Nene gets healthy. Paul Pierce looks to be
fitting in quite well.

14. Sacramento Kings (2-1): Arguably the best start to the
season goes to the Kings. Rudy Gay and DeMarcus Cousins look determined to
carry over their success from the summer with team USA .
Could this be this season’s Suns from 2013-14? If Gay and Cousins continue
playing like they did this weekend it could happen.
15. Portland Trail Blazers (1-2): Damian Lillard’s slow start
is a big reason the Blazers sit where they do currently at 1-2. A rough
Halloween weekend saw the Blazers lose to the Kings and Warriors. Things won’t
get easier this week as they host the Cavaliers, Mavericks before traveling to Los
Angeles to take on the Clippers in the first night of
a back-to-back before hosting the Nuggets.
16. Atlanta Hawks (1-1): Kyle Korver is lighting it up from
deep, and Al Horford looks good in his return from injury. Traveling to San
Antonio will be tough, but important games at Charlotte
and hosting the Knicks, important Eastern Conference games that will impact the
playoff race at the end of the season.
17. New Orleans Pelicans (1-1): Anthony Davis is a monster.
That is all you need to know about the Pelicans, as Davis
has averaged 28.5 points, 16.5 rebounds and 6.0 blocks per game. Tyreke Evans
has also looked great after hamstring woes in the preseason, scoring and
handling the ball plenty.
18. Brooklyn Nets (1-1): Brook Lopez makes his much
anticipated return to the court Monday against the Oklahoma City Thunder. It is
a much needed boost for the Nets as they got hammered by the Celtics opening
night, but bounced back with a victory over the hapless Pistons.
19. Oklahoma City Thunder (1-2): Already without Kevin Durant,
they will now be without Russell Westbrook who hurt his hand opening night.
This leaves us with the Perry Jones show, who has looked outstanding. It will
be interesting to see if Jones, Reggie Jackson and Serge Ibaka can carry the
offensive load and keep the team afloat without their two All-Pros
20. Denver Nuggets (1-1): They lost to the Thunder in their
first game without Durant and Westbrook, which doesn’t look good. They have a
home-and-home with the Kings to start the week and a visit from LeBron Friday
night before traveling to Portland .
Interesting tidbit, the Nuggets are actually 12-8 all time against LeBron. Will
that success continue?
21. Utah Jazz (1-2): Beating the Suns was a nice win. Alex
Burks looks very impressive and worth every penny of the extension he signed
recently. He and Gordon Hayward make an impressive duo on the wing, with
Derrick Favors playing well in the paint. The Jazz, along with the Kings, are a
candidate to be this season’s Suns.
22. Charlotte Hornets (1-2): They could easily be 0-3 if not
for the Bucks squandering a 20+ point lead and losing it in halftime thanks to
some Kemba Walker heroics. An ugly game against the Grizzlies that saw Lance
Stephenson benched wasn’t helped any with a loss at MSG to the Knicks to end the
week. This team has a couple things to work out before leaping the Heat and
Wizards in that division.
23. Boston Celtics (1-1): Rajon Rondo made a surprising
return to start the season, and the Celtics used it to power themselves to a
decisive win over the Nets opening night. They came crashing back down to earth
against the Rockets in the second game of the season, getting beaten easily. As
long as Rondo is around they have a chance in each game, but it could just be
to raise his trade value.
24. Indiana Pacers (1-2): The Pacers have a legitimate
chance to go into Week 3 with a .500 record, which would be impressive since
they are playing without four starters from last season. Getting the 76ers,
Bucks and Celtics in the first two weeks helps, but it is what the shorthanded
Pacers need. Roy Hibbert though has looked strong in three games.
25. Minnesota Timberwolves (1-2): The Timberwolves had a
successful week even though they lost twice. They hung tough with the superior
Grizzlies and Bulls, and beat the Pistons. They could have easily beaten the
Bulls had Andrew Wiggins not committed a bad foul on Jimmy Butler, who sank two
free throws to win the game. This season could be a little better for the
Timberwolves than originally thought.

26. Milwaukee Bucks (1-2): The Bucks blew a 20+ point lead
in Charlotte opening night, or else
they would be looking at a 2-1 record. Jason Kidd has plenty of decisions to
make regarding this roster, as they have logjams at plenty of spots. One player
who has stood out is O.J. Mayo, who looks to have come back in much better
shape, and his good play from preseason is carrying over.
27. Orlando Magic (0-3): Nikola Vucevic has been a monster
thus far this season. He already has a 23 rebound game this season, and has
looked strong in the paint for the young Magic. Elfrid Payton has looked good
thus far running the show, and once Victor Oladipo gets back they will form a
young, dynamic backcourt that will be plenty of fun to watch.
28. Detroit Pistons (0-3): Stan Van Gundy is at a loss with
this roster. It is mismatched as their three best players cannot share the
court together, and the offense is a mess. It could be a long first season in Detroit
for Van Gundy until he can really start piecing together this roster. Andre Drummond
will be fun to watch under Van Gundy, but he has to fix his foul woes.
29. Philadelphia
76ers (0-3): There won’t be many wins in Philadelphia
this season, but this a fun team to watch nonetheless. Expect plenty of high
scoring affairs, and it is always fun watching younger players get a chance to
play without limitations or veterans blocking them from minutes.
30. Los Angeles Lakers (0-4): Things are ugly in Los
Angeles

Spurs' Leonard to become free agent
The San Antonio Spurs and F Kawhi Leonard have failed to come to terms on a contract extension. The lack of a deal will allow Leonard to become a restricted free agent.
“We feel Kawhi is deserving of a max contract, and we are disappointed that something couldn’t get done,” Leonard's agent said. “There’s no debating Kawhi’s value. The market has been set. He’s done everything the Spurs have asked of him, exceeded all of their expectations. Coach [Gregg] Popovich has gone out of his way to call Kawhi the future face of the franchise. We have great respect for the Spurs organization, but here, we simply agree to disagree.
“There will be no shortage of teams interested in Kawhi’s services next year. There will be a lot of contract scenarios available to us, and we will explore them all.”
