Noted sideline interview enthusiast Gregg Popovich is always at his acerbic best when his team isn’t playing well. His already terse responses get honed to an even sharper edge when a hapless reporter puts in even less effort than usual, which is what TNT’s David Aldridge did Tuesday night after the first quarter of the Spurs-Heat game in Miami.
After getting exactly the type of responses you would expect to an inane and overused line of inquiry, Aldridge went for a Hail Mary and told Pop the results of the highly-anticipated New Hampshire primary. Upon hearing that Trump won on the Republican side, the Spurs coach stood transfixed for a moment, then simply shook his head in disbelief and solemnly walked away, which is the only reasonable response to such news.
