Gregg Popovich calls out Spurs for tendency to start slowly

Gregg Popovich

The San Antonio Spurs have a bad habit of getting off to slow starts, and coach Gregg Popovich is tired of it.

Popovich called his team out for that habit on Thursday in the wake of the Spurs’ 95-91 loss to Chicago, their first road defeat of the season.

Nobody is harder on the Spurs than Pop is. It’s even that way when they win. He expects them to work as hard as possible to play a clean game of basketball, and when they don’t, he’s not afraid to say so.
