The San Antonio Spurs enter their preseason finale Thursday with plenty left to show.
HOUSTON – Gregg Popovich says he sometimes has to pinch himself when he looks across a Spurs huddle and sees Chris Paul staring back at him. For his part, Paul feels like same. Once upon a time, Paul was the NBA ’s preeminent point guard, the head of the snake on some of the league’s most talented teams, New Orleans and the Los Angeles Clippers in particular. Popovich was the coach of the championship-laden Spurs , who every contender worth its salt wanted to beat.

The same goes for backup guard Malaki Branham, who appears to have lost his grip on a rotation spot for now. If nothing else, the Spurs are eager to test themselves one final time against the Rockets. “I think everyone knows how to play – extra passes, just knows the team, knows team ball,” said Sochan, who had 18 points and 11 rebounds against Miami.
Spurs' Riley Minix takes improbable path to potential two-way contract Heading into Thursday, the Spurs’ oldest player has logged 75 minutes of meaningless basketball during the exhibition schedule. Wembanyama has played 40. For Paul, it marks another early lesson on what it means to finally play for Popovich. That class is still ongoing. “It’s super dope to see how he is wired,” Paul said. Still, Paul realizes there is little use walking down memory lane with Popovich at this point.
