The nickname stems from something Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said following Game 1 of their first-round series against the Dallas Mavericks—and it certainly wasn’t a compliment. Popovich might’ve been letting off some steam. Or maybe he was trying to motivate them. Regardless, how they respond is a major storyline going into Game 2 on Wednesday night in Dallas. Matt Bonner, a backup big man in San Antonio’s supporting cast, said he understands Popovich’s message. Popovich was most irate about the turnovers and fouls. Then there were all the small numbers in the box score. Richard Jefferson scored just four points in 32 minutes. George Hill, Keith Bogans and Roger Mason were all scoreless in a combined 43 minutes. As a foursome, they made 1 of 9 shots.

San Antonio’s trio of stars had good reasons for not sharing more. Ginobili started 8 of 10. Duncan was on his way to scoring 27 points, his most in two months. And Parker logged 34 minutes, his most in nearly two months, even though he’s still getting over a broken bone in his right hand that sidelined him for one of those months. Hill started at point guard in the opener, as he’s done since Parker was hurt. It remains to be seen whether he keeps that job in Game 2. Hill played less than 18 minutes in the opener, but lingering soreness in his right ankle might not have been all that kept him on the bench. He was pulled for good early in the second half, right after Jason Kidd stole one of his passes in the backcourt. Popovich said Tuesday that Hill would be a game-time decision. If he sits, Parker wouldn’t necessarily take his place. Rookie Garrett Temple could get the start because Popovich likes having Parker come in with his second unit. Another likely change is how San Antonio handles Dirk Nowitzki.
