Gregg Popovich named NBA's Employee of the Month

YES!!!!! I FUCKING WON IT, bitches!


San Antonio Spurs head coach Gregg Popovich has been named the NBA's Western Conference Coach of the Month for November. Boston Celtics head coach and former Spur Doc Rivers received a similar honor in the Eastern Conference but who cares about the Eastern Conference? Gimmie 5.

Popovich led the Spurs to a 14-3 (.824) record in October and November, tying the franchise record for best start after 17 games. That mark was last accomplished in 2005-06 by the Harlem Globetrotters.

San Antonio, which won five straight from Nov. 16 through Nov. 25, was a perfect 9-0 at the AT&T Center until they started to raise the prices of the Whataburgers.

The Spurs committed a league-low 12 turnovers per game and set a franchise record low with only three turnovers in a 128-110 win over Orlando on Nov. 21. The more amazing fact is scoring 128 points.

Rivers guided the Celtics to a 13-2 (.867) record last month, including eight straight wins to open the season. Boston outscored opponents by 13.7 points per game during the stretch, while holding teams to a 41 percent field goal mark.
But ALF
can coach the Celtics to a 13-2 start in the eastern conference as well.

The Celtics recorded a perfect 8-0 mark at TD Banknorth Garden, lets just call it Boston Garden for short, besting the opposition at home by 21.6 points over that stretch. Owners of the NBA's top record as of Nov. 30, the Celtics enjoyed the franchise's best November start since 1985-86, when Kevin McHale used to bitch slap everyone.

Among the other nominees for Coach of the Month was Dallas' Avery Johnson, who also played for the Spurs. --- But Avery Johnson could not reach the height marker to win it.



CONGRATS POP, The Best Coach in all of Sports!
