Gregg Popovich giving praise for @deandrejordan's improvement pregame: "I just wonder what he did over the summer... He's just different..."

More Popp on DeAndre: "He thinks the game more... he's just matured"

- Madelyn Burke

Popovich on CP3: "He's a mean, nasty man... I don't know if there's anybody more competitive in the league than that little dude."

- Eric Patten

Happens to me all the time, except it will be on accident. It'll say Redick, but he'll look like JR Smith.

Of course, the lucky charm:

Alison Brie

Can't stick around for this game sorry guys, gotta spend what's left of the morning doing shopping for when I jump a plane and get to LA this time next week and this afternoon, I have a BBQ and beers, coz you know... STRAYA!

(ps, If you see Alison Brie around town, please tell her to carry her passport with her for the next few weeks. It make it easier if I get caught smuggling her back through customs. Thanks.)

Encouraging that we get 2 fg in the first 2 possessions after CP sits down, both coming on assisted plays and not late in the shot clock.
