Under the best of circumstances an NBA head coach can feel like hes juggling chainsaws. But try to cram a 66-game schedule into a hair over four months and youre practically setting a guy up to lose a couple of fingers, if not a chunk of his mind.
Its hard, admitted Gregg Popovich.
What he meant was, harder even than usual.
Take a look at the schedule thats packed tighter than your average overhead bin on a flight to Disney World and then factor in all of the wacky constant comings and goings of the 30 teams in the league and you have to wonder if everybody — or anybody — will make it to the end.
Pop does.
What is it — three games in three nights, four games in five, six in eight, seven in nine? he asked. Every night this season thats the case for somebody. So youve got to find your way to get through it.
