6/14/07- Many of you may have noticed at some point, that i'm a Spurs fan (that goes without saying...)
So with interest I've been hearing about the Spurs' assistant head coach, PJ Carlesimo, who may be in the process of being wooed away from the NBA's power team. By who? The Seattle SuperSonics. Come on PJ, the weather's rainy up there, and no Tex-Mex, at least no Taco Cabana open 24 hours a day.
We understand though the lure of heading up your own NBA team as head coach. Of course we wonder at Carlesimo's ability to develop those Pop like relationships with his players. He just doesn't strike me as that kind of dad-like figure Pop is. Calesimo himself has admitted that at his prior coaching jobs at Golden State and Portland: I don't think I did nearly as good a job as Pop does off the court.
Of course, with 5 years on the Spurs team working next to Pop, he's probably learned alot of Popisms. And hey, maybe he if he goes off to head that team, maybe in a few years the Spurs will be facing off the SuperSonics in the NBA playoffs. Wouldn't that be a scene?
On another note...will Robert Horry be back for a 16th season? Come on Horry! I really hope so. This team is great, and Horry says if he does come back, it would be with the Spurs. Come on Horry!
