POELTL
"It's still a work in progress. I think we just have a bunch of guys that have great character. A couple of funny guys," Poeltl said about the team. "It just kind of works. I think it comes down to the individual characters. Some of us have been here for a couple of years. We just try to be as inclusive as possible and bring the guys together."
RICHARDSON
"First game and we can't really overreact to that," Richardson said about the team's preseason loss to the Rockets. "We came in and got in a tough practice yesterday but the mood is good because we're competitors."
The Spurs will face the Magic Thursday night at home for their preseason home-opening game. The team is 0-1 to start the preseason.
