“I’m very fortunate in that I didn’t have to,” (Gregg) Popovich said. “I dealt with grown-ups.”

Pop had more to say, and I’ll get to that in a minute. But Pop didn’t have to say anything else. He said it well. The stately Spurs have been built around grown-ups. Including the current squad that threatens to give Oklahoma City a June swoon, leading the Thunder 2-0 in the NBA’s Western Conference Finals.

Nobody in OKC wants to hear it, but it’s not the Thunder’s time. That seems clear not just because of what happened in San Antonio the last few days, but what’s happened in San Antonio the last few weeks.
