Gregg Popovich keeps Spurs’ heads up as losses mount
San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich stands on the sideline during the first half of an NBA basketball game against the Los Angeles Clippers in Los Angeles, Thursday, Jan. 26, 2023. The winningest coach in NBA history trudged from the locker room at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles late Thursday and toward a waiting pair of busses near the loading dock.
The Spurs arrived at Saturday’s home game against Phoenix with a chance to break another losing streak.It is a feature not lost on Spurs players, who are trying to ride out a developmental season as best they can. From 1997-98 through 2016-17, Popovich’s Spurs never won fewer than 50 games or the prorated equivalent. The 1998-99 squad won 37 games in a season shortened to 50 because of a labor dispute.
“You know it is eating at him,” Collins said. “He is a competitor, as competitive as any coach has ever been in history.” “There are ups and downs in your life probably, and what do you do? You move on,” said Popovich, who turned 74 on Saturday. “You just go. I don’t pull out this piece of paper or this formula and go, ‘This is how I’m going to act because we didn’t make the playoffs.’”
Langford had been starting in the backcourt in place of Devin Vassell, who is still mending from a knee procedure earlier this month.
