A colleague remarked in the morning that the best two days for Gregg Popovich interviews are "first-day Pop and last-day Pop," referencing media day to kick off training camp for a new season and the availability he has after exit meetings with the players. I can't quite recall the particulars of media day seven months ago, and there have been some entertaining pre-game sessions over the season, but I can confirm that Pop was as comfortable today as I've seen him all year.
Naturally, he was disappointed by the premature end of the season, but there was definite relief in his tone and a clearheaded resignation that it wasn't the Spurs' year, for various reasons.
