Never let it be said that San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich has patience with reporters. He doesn’t. He’s sarcastic, and there is no other way to say it. He apparently was a bit miffed at some of the questions following his team’s 105-85 drubbing at the hands of the Clippers on Saturday at AT&T Center in San Antonio.

Popovich had already explained why his team lost a couple of times. He was queried again about the Clippers and what they did to his team. Here’s his reaction:

“They played harder than we did,” Popovich. “They played smarter, they executed what they wanted to do at both ends of the court better. It was a butt-kicking. I don’t know how else you all want me to describe it.”

That was good right there, coach.
