    There's no such thing as too soon. Comedy is how alot of people relieve their pain.

    But to think Pop could just shove this aside and focus on basketball is ridiculous. Basketball isn't even the 10th thing on his mind.

    Devastating - really feel for Pop.

    He has looked a little run down and acting somewhat out of character lately - this probably explains it.

    Was eating Whataburger with a couple of friends when I got the bleacher report notification and when I showed my friends, they all gasped and it was silent the rest of the meal.

    Thoughts and Prayers for him and his family. To lose someone that you've been side by side with for forty years, is just something I can't imagine.

    Since this was an extended illness, at least Pop has had time to mentally prepare.

    I can't imagine having to coach the remainder of the GS series.

    Disgraceful for the reporter to drop this on LeBron with no warning, but he handled it well.

    Awful news. R.I.P. Erin

    Kawhi at the very least HAS to show up at AT&T Center tomorrow night regardless of whether or not he's playing. Be with your teammates and the Spurs family after a tragic loss like this.
