If youre an NBA team trying to end a losing streak, the San Antonio Spurs are not likely the opponent youd want to square off against.Thats the task at hand for the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday when they host surging San Antonio at Spectrum Center in Charlotte, N.C.The Spurs (10-3) have been nearly bulletproof on the road to open the season, going 7-0 and winning games in Oakland against Golden State, in Houston and twice in Sacramento. But this three-game stretch -- which starts in Charlotte, heads to Boston and ends in Washington, D.C. -- undoubtedly will test the San Antonios mettle.San Antonio heads to the Queen City on the heels of a lethargic 96-91 win against shorthanded Dallas on Monday that Spurs coach Gregg Popovich labeled awful and pathetic. Just think about how Popovich can go off when San Antonio loses.The Spurs are still trying to find the proper roles for the seven new players on their roster. San Antonio rested guard Tony Parker and forward LaMarcus Aldridge against the Mavericks, a common practice for Popovich no matter the opponent as he looks at the seasons big picture.Everyone needs some time to adjust to our system, Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said after the win on Monday. It is what it is; we understand that thats the way it is. We all come from different roles. Once you get adjusted to it, you understand what Pops looking for from us.Spurs reserve forward David Lee, one of those newcomers, scored 12 points in the win over Dallas. He said the difference in the way San Antonio has played on the road as compared to home is nothing to be concerned about.Sometimes it just works out that way, Lee said. (Monday) we were without Tony and LaMarcus, two of the guys that really get us in rhythm. I just think weve had a couple of games where we havent played our best at home.Charlotte (8-5) fell behind by 22 at halftime and never rallied in a 105-90 loss at home to Memphis on Monday. Its just the second time this season that the Hornets have lost consecutive games.This whole thing is about getting better, Hornets coach Steve Clifford said. San Antonio is an elite team and we have to play to our game, which starts with having the right intensity, the right detail and the right togetherness. We have to start better and we have to sustain better.Guard Kemba Walker is averaging 24.7 points in 13 games, which is the second most points a Charlotte player has averaged since Glen Rice posted 26.8 in 1996-97. It marks only the second time a player has averaged more than 23 points in Charlotte history and is the highest scoring average since Al Jefferson averaged 21.8 in 2013-14.Backcourt mate guard Nicolas Batum continues to be one of the most versatile players in the league, doing everything from scoring, setting up his teammates and rebounding. Batum is averaging 14.1 points, 6.5 rebounds and 5.0 assists and is one of only five players in the NBA averaging 14-6-5.We didnt have the energy we usually have, Batum said after the loss to Memphis. Maybe we had some hangover from the loss in New Orleans, which was really tough. We have to move on and get ready for San Antonio.

Update: Valve has responded to requests to clarify its new rules regarding coaching. From the post: It was important to make a decision before teams further invested in coach IGLs [in-game leaders] and we decided to rein in the role of coaching in the next Major to exclude player responsibilities. Original story continues below.ESL notified multiple top Counter-Strike teams via email on Wednesday about an imminent rule change to Valve-sponsored Counter-Strike: Global Offensive events that will limit a teams communication with its in-game coach, according to a report from Counter-Strike news site HLTV.In addition, ESL will reportedly adopt this rule indefinitely for its offline events.With the change, Valve will only allow coaches to communicate with the team during warm-up, halftime and during one of four 30-second timeouts available to each team. Currently, coaches are allowed to be an active part of the game throughout the match, often times controlling and dictating positions and strategies to their players, akin to the traditional role of an in-game leader.The email, written by Counter-Strike level designer and Valve developer Ido Magal, states that Valve believes coaches effectively defeat the purpose of the game. Magal states that the company wants the five best Counter-Sttrike players to win the game via their own skill, not that of a sixth member contributing to their game strategy.ddddddddddddActivities such as keeping track of the economy, calling plays, and general situational awareness are important components of CS gameplay, he states. If a person is performing these actions, we consider them a player.While ESL has reportedly adopted this rule already, Magal says that other third-party organizers will not be forced to abide by it. However, if those organizers want to stay in consideration to host one of Counter-Strike: Global Offensives majors -- the largest events within the scene that only occur a few times a year -- they will need to enact the rule themselves.Other organizers include ESLs sister company DreamHack; Turner and WME|IMGs televised event ELeague; British Counter-Strike company FACEIT; and American tournament organizers Major League Gaming and CEVO. Two of these companies, excluding ESL, that have hosted major events are Major League Gaming and DreamHack.While yet to be announced, HLTV reports that the next major event will occur in January with no specified tournament organizer or date named yet.
