Gregg Popovich has always been known to be a man of a few words during interviews, and is very well versed in sarcasm. It's often that he gives very short responses, as well as one-liners that leave reporters speechless.
The San Antonio Spurs head coach was at it again during the postgame media session after their Game 3 loss to the Golden State Warriors on Saturday. He was asked to share his thoughts if he felt like he got what he expected from LaMarcus Aldridge during the match, and he answered with a single word which was followed by an awkward silence in the whole room.
“Considering the way [the Warriors] defended him and the way he played, did you get what you wanted out of him tonight?”
“Sure.”

Aldridge had a decent outing, but could have produced better numbers, especially with Kawhi Leonard out again due to his ankle injury. He did finish with 18 points, five rebounds and two blocks, but only knocked down 7-of-17 from the field on the night.
More interviews such as this can be expected from Popovich, even if they win or lose. He has shown that he is consistent with how he answers the questions thrown at him, and with the Spurs in a deep hole now, his frustrations with the results of the matches may also add up to how he conducts himself in front of the media.
