• San Antonio Spurs’ Tim Duncan and head coach Gregg Popovich did an interview with ESPN and spoke
on the first half of the season and why the Spurs are winning so much. A very entertaining interview.
• Fox Sports talks about the Spurs are the true story of the NBA and not the Carmelo Anthony saga:
In a league that proclaims teamwork as its highest value, the Spurs represent everything ‘Melo does not: the collective as opposed to the individual, experience and know-how over mere talent.

• Our good buddy John Karalis at Reds Army says the Spurs know how to outsmart larger markets.
• Hoops World says the Spurs will probably not do anything this trade deadline week:
