the defensive end he held LeBron James without a field goal in that first quarter what are you guys doing uh to limit him this point hell I don't know he he's I think he's just getting into the game it wasn't any kind of plan on my part let me tell you that say hi to Johnny London thanks back in Dallas with the Spurs up 15. yes sir I promise there will only be one question I just want you to be happy Coach [Music] is there a question yet yeah talk about Kawhi Leonard's how has he improved so dramatically from the first time you he stepped foot in San Antonio to now Chip England and Chad forcier amen it's the truth good luck no second give me a second no I don't wanna no you got Heather Heather Cox took three in our last game you only get one today all right coach you got to be very happy with to play so for the game from your guys coming off the bench well I think they're playing pretty well in transition and we're making some shots and we're ahead so we're that's a good thing do you like the pace of the game we have to have a good Pace if we play half court their defense is too good our only shot is to keep the pace going who's the one guy who has the third question would you just get two my bad well coach for the regular season around the corner this is a preseason right we got to do this in the preseason are you kidding me you know preseason we got to do this the preseason we have to rehearse and get ready I need the practice God what was your biggest challenge during this preseason oh my gosh uh get into the restaurant on time starting five attack but we see Marco Belinelli how much impact will he have in the rotation uh you know I have to find him playing time he's a good high IQ player so I'll have to use him well that's the preseason but I've got to see your mid-season form questions that's two okay good to see you welcome back to San Antonio where the game is tied after three pop you got good ball movement throughout the third quarter uh how happy were you with the shots election even though they came back happy reasonably happy Happy's not a word that we think about in the game you gotta think of something different happy I don't know how to judge happy fair enough middle of the contest nobody's happy I know you want to get Tony and uh Tim some rest in the fourth quarter how long do you think you can hold them out before you bring him back well you know without them we'll have a tough time obviously so we'll just try to judge it as best we can come up with a better word than happy next time back for the start of the fourth quarter coach Popovich your thoughts on the third quarter we're behind well coach what were your thoughts when Tim Duncan went down and was there any hesitation in putting him back in no is there any concern that this might tighten up at halftime or maybe not allow him to play tomorrow I don't think so thanks a lot thank you well hold on back here with Greg Popovich up 20. the question no listen is there a question you're making me nervous no no you make me nervous but seriously I've never been so nervous in my life so I asked all the sideline reporters right now no all the sideline reporters what to do how to approach you they said explore your feelings at the end of the third quarter so are you oh I'm glad you're so happy well coach no Tony Parker your floor leader tonight looks like you're struggling to score just 18 points Craig Popovich of the San Antonio Spurs a lot of emotion obviously tonight with demar's return how do you feel he's performed in the first quarter he's done well all right I feel like I've come out ahead here do you want to send it on this one you know I was looking forward to a second question okay well we can do that uh Derek white has played for the first time in a while how do you how close would you monitor his minutes uh pretty close look thank you pop appreciate it it's been fun yeah no doubt same here good luck back to you guys pop how did your team execute defensively in the first quarter now we did a much better job than game one and offensively how was the pace going so far Mr spacing is what's been good for us we're not that fast but we got a space really well so we're doing it all right pop thank you it's been a joy always hello pop you're down your top two point guards yet you're up 10 after the first quarter what did you like about the way your team played the ball went in the hole right it makes a lot of things easier obvious turn LeBron James into a premier player tonight keeping him out of the paint I have no clue what about the ball moving offensively it's a textbook during the first quarter how do you get back to that I thought our Pace was really poor the third quarter I thought we played in mud all right thank you very much I guess it's under 14 words back to you guys
