The San Antonio Spurs didn’t respect a severely shorthanded Houston Rockets Thursday but still might’ve survived without some bizarre coaching choices.
“We had four or five guys who were out to lunch,” Popovich said postgame after a 109-105 loss to the Houston Rockets Thursday. Indeed there were several issues with the San Antonio Spurs against a team that only suited up nine guys and just lost their franchise player, but it’s pretty clear this loss wasn’t all on the players.
Short of the young trio of Keldon Johnson, Lonnie Walker, and Devin Vassell, the team certainly didn’t help their cause.
