Spurs open the season Wednesday. Here's a look at each of Gregg Popovich's first 25 openers.
ednesday night marks the 26th season opener for Gregg Popovich as head coach of the San Antonio Spurs.
He took over for Bob Hill after 18 games during the 1996-97 season and as they say, the rest is history. The Spurs have a 23-2 record in season openers since the future Hall of Famer became head coach. And in those 25 openers, Pop has used 23 different starting lineups. Forty-one players have started season openers for Popovich.
Only twice in the 2004-2005/2005-2006 and 2010-2011/2011-2012 seasons has the same starting combination been used in back-to-back openers. Here is a look back -- at starters and game results -- for each season opener since Popovich’s first full season as head coach.Monte Bach/San Antonio Express-News
