“This may be Pop’s last season. I don’t see him staying for any reason,” one San Antonio Spurs fan told me during the first half of a game that was quickly getting out of hand. On the second night of a back-to-back, the Chicago Bulls were dominating the Spurs in every facet of the game, establishing a 23-point lead at one point.
“As in you think he’s quitting or getting fired?” I replied. By the end of the Spurs’ miraculous 35-point swing, the fan graciously admitted his statement might have been premature.
