Spurs Head Coach Popovich Mocks Reporter for Asking to Explain Five Blowouts

Spurs’ Gregg Popovich teases reporter after blowout win: ‘You’re not worth much’ (NBA)

The Spurs’ 117-89 victory over the Thunder in Game 5 marked the fifth straight time that home team has won handily in the Western Conference finals. Garbage time has been a given, the only question has been how early it starts.

Tim Duncan said that the back-and-forth nature of the games has made this the “craziest series I’ve ever been involved in,” and so the question was posed to Gregg Popovich afterwards: Why are the West’s top two teams taking turns destroying each other and getting destroyed?

Fresh off a 28-point victory that put San Antonio up 3-2 in the series, Popovich chose to engage in an exchange of good-natured, lighthearted banter during his postgame press conference.
