Man that's awful.
Damn, that's rough. Sad to hear. Honestly didn't know Pop was married.

Horrible news
Pop should name Becky the interim head coach while he is out
Media is so quiet on the spurs never once covered anything about this

Just told my wife about Pops wife
she was sad and said that she had been sick and been in out of the clinics she works at and that Pop had been by her side the entire time

Behind every great man is a great woman.
That would be incredibly difficult for me to work through if I didn't have to

Very sad to hear. Prayers for Pop and the Spurs family
Oh man. That's tough. So sorry to hear. May she rest in peace.
FWIW, I don't know if y'all saw LeBron's postgame last night but the reporter 'told' him about Erin's death. At the time it seemed like it was in really poor taste, but apparently he was notified before the interview and volunteered to comment about it.
Also, understandably, Pop will not coach tonight. Messina will take the reins.
It is abundantly clear how private a person, about the team, and respected Coach Pop is on a personal level. Based on everything we know about Pop, there is no way his wife wasn't a great, great human being.
Man, what a tough deal and this may be the swan song for Pop. Although I could see him continuing to coach as a distraction the coming years.
Well, Pop did guarantee LA he'd coach the entirety of LA's contract back in 2015. Considering LA just signed a three-year extension and Pop's taking over USA Basketball, he'll be around a while longer.David_Puddy said:

I can't see your post because Twitter is blocked here at work so if this is redundant I apologize but I thought this was pretty good.Brian Earl Spilner said:
Kind words from Kerr.
Quote:
Warriors head coach Steve Kerr shares his memories of the late Erin Popovich: "I knew her well. She was close with my wife when I played here. Erin was sort of the balance that Pop needed. I still remember when he traded me to Portland in 2001. He called me up to tell me the news and he said, 'I don't think I can go home because Erin is going to be so mad at me for trading you.' Margot [Steve's wife] and Erin were close and stayed in touch over the years. She was part of the family. She has dealt with a lot over the past few years, health-wise, and has been very courageous in her battle. So we all grieve and at the same time try to celebrate her life and her legacy. You've got to be special to be married to Pop. She was very kind. I know Pop has told this story, but the way Pop handles the sideline reporters and media sometimes, he'd go home and Erin would lay into him -- 'What are you doing?' And so she kind of kept him in check. But she was a wonderful person. Pop has told me a lot over the past few years about how happy they've both been being relatively new grandparents over the past five years or so. So it's hard not to think about the grandkids right now and of course Pop and Erin's two kids, Jill and Micky. We all mourn her loss."

Sad. Hate the Spurs and his politics don't matter to me, but I've always been a fan of his. Great basketball coach and the news is a total bummer.
Rudy Gay showing up with intensity
Danny Green is utterly worthless these days.
The offense looks atrocious. All we have is Rudy and Lamarcus hero ball and they're both tentative and passing up touches

I cringe every time I see green put the ball on the floor and try to drive
Gasol hasn't gotten any better since Monday.
Very good crowd here
Game 4 could be Manu's last home game. Hope he can go out with a win.
Spurs are playing so hard tonight.
Condolences to Coach Pop and the family.
Always seem to find a way to squander a lead. Aldridge has been pretty quiet tonight.
I think Aldridge is saving it for the fourth quarter, but he's wasted a couple possessions dribbling into the baseline against the double team.
