It was just like old times Wednesday at the Denver Broncos' training complex. DeMarcus Ware took Bradley Chubb aside and gave him some pointers in between drives at the team's mandatory minicamp.

"I've been doing it my whole career Vikings Cheap Jerseys ," said Ware, who returned to Denver as a pass-rushing consultant a year after retiring from the Broncos.

Ware will work with the linebackers and defensive linemen. Whereas most coaches "have like 90-hour weeks," Ware will only have to make occasional trips to Denver, where he only has to focus on technique, not scheme.

The reason most superstars don't go into coaching so fast is they haven't gotten their playing days out of their system.

"Oh, it's out," Ware insisted. "It's way out of my system. I'm Dad now and being able to spend some time with my kids. But now getting a couple of days here and there where I can go to the games and help the guys out, come to practice and maybe a little bit of training camp and throughout the season."

Ware still looks yoked and he joked he's still good for 25 snaps and a couple of sacks per game.

"But those days are done," he said. "I can still put the cleats on and help the guys out in other ways."

Ware played three seasons in Denver after a nine-year run in Dallas John Tavares Maple Leafs Jersey , where he left as the Cowboys' all-time sacks leader with 117. He added 21陆 to that total with the Broncos, whom he helped win Super Bowl 50.

Ware also helped out the Cowboys pass rushers this summer but said he had to choose between the two teams for a more substantial role "and this right here was my choice."

In Denver, he'll get to work with rookie Bradley Chubb, whom he called a "great phenomenal athlete," adding he's "one of those as they come in, they don't know the scheme yet but they have all the athleticism and the 'measureables' to be a great player."

He's also getting reacquainted with superstar Von Miller, whom Ware said continues to impress him.

Since Ware's retirement, Miller has "become a lot bigger leader on the team" and is a more vocal, Ware said.

OAKLAND Giancarlo Stanton Jersey , Calif. — The San Antonio Spurs hope to take a second step on what would be an unprecedented journey in the NBA playoffs when they once again face elimination in Game 5 against the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.

No team has ever won a series in which it trailed 3-0, but the Spurs were able to stay alive at home with a 103-90 win in Game 4 on Sunday.

It was the first time in the Gregg Popovich era that the Spurs have as much as won one game after losing the first three of a series. They were swept in a similar situation last season by the Warriors in the Western Conference finals.

For the third game in a row, the Spurs will be coached Tuesday by assistant Ettore Messina, with Popovich having left the team after the death of his wife Erin last week.

The teams had different views as to what triggered the dramatic turnaround in Game 4. The Spurs had fallen behind at least 19 points in each of the first three games of the series but never trailed Sunday.

The Spurs cited improved shooting as one big difference. After connecting on a combined 20 of 83 (24 percent) on 3-pointers in the first three games of the series, San Antonio bombed in 15 of 28 (54 percent) in Game 4.

The result: A team that had been outscored 105-60 from beyond the arc for three games was able to turn the tables to the tune of 45-21 in the elimination game.

It was a team effort. LaMarcus Aldridge, Pau Gasol, Dejounte Murray and Manu Ginobili, who had combined to make just three 3-pointers in the first three games, dropped in a total of 10 when it mattered most.

“It was a do-or-die game Cheap Tremaine Edmunds Jersey ,” explained Aldridge, a predicament in which the Spurs also will find themselves in Game 5. “Make it happen or go home, and I think every guy played with that mentality, that focus, and we ended up getting it done.”

Meanwhile, the Warriors weren’t even getting shots time and again early in the loss. They committed seven turnovers in the game’s first 5 1/2 minutes, fell behind by as many as 10 points in the first quarter and never caught up.

Warriors coach Steve Kerr didn’t like seeing it live and enjoyed it even less when he got back to Oakland and watched it on tape.

“Lack of focus to start the game was really the key,” he noted. “More than energy, it was a sense of purpose. And I take a lot of the blame for that. I should know better as a coach of a team that’s been up 3-0 plenty times — you gotta know you’re going into the lion’s den …

“Looking back at the tape Raiders Elite Jerseys , I should have taken a timeout three minutes into the game and broken a clipboard. More than that, I should have had them prepared pregame for what was coming, and I didn’t feel like I did a good job at that.”

The Warriors had similar early-game issues at home during the regular season. It helped produce a record as good on the road (29-12) as at home (29-12).

Even with Sunday’s loss, the Warriors have beaten the Spurs in 11 of their last 13 meetings, including both regular-season and playoff games.

If the Warriors win Game 5, they would advance to face the New Orleans Pelicans in the Western Conference semifinals.
