Create-a-Caption: Don?t sweat Gregg Popovich?s lockout technique

"Oh, hey, assembly of stalwart NBA beat reporters camped outside yet another doomed session of negotiating-in-name-only. Weird that you guys are here, too.

"Me? Oh, I was just out for a jog. I had no idea this is where the league and union were meeting; I turned down this street because MapMyRun said this would get me to an even five miles. I certainly wasn't using my intelligence gathering and processing training to slip inside the meeting undetected, infiltrate the negotiations and find out how far the two sides are apart so me and R.C. can update the timetable for Tim and Manu's offseason incubation in the Lazarus Pit.

Man, it's pretty random that we ran into Gregg Popovich, huh? Wonder what the San Antonio Spurs head coach was even doing in New York. Oh, well. He sure is one heck of a coach!

In our last adventure: Gordon Hayward, too, knows why the caged bird pwns n00bs.

NOTE: This image spawned probably the nerdiest collection of responses in C-a-C history, and I couldn't be happier about that. Tute on, dorks. Tute on!

Winner, Baileyc: "Can't lock out a solid zerg rush."
