Marc the Hendricks injury was brutal. I sit right behind the visitor bench. Just the worst.

The Spurs' culture remains intact (same as the Heat), but their edge in global recruiting has been lost as most teams have caught up, and everyone does it now. Pop’s coaching staff probably has the most significant turnover (with Kerr a close second) because of their approach to developing their coaching staff.

Agreed. When you view it through that lens, the Spurs are more like Arsenal under Wenger which is a weird cross sport statement to write.

Interesting comparison of Spurs and Man U. We used to hear a lot about how well run the Spurs were, but I haven't seen any references to that in the last few years. Do you have a sense of if other teams have simply caught up? Or have they lost a step with so many coaches and staffers graduating to other teams over the years?
