Spurs players are fine with Westbrook, Thunder's pregame dance routines

Unlike Charlie Villanueva of the Dallas Mavericks, the San Antonio Spurs aren't going to try and interfere with Russell Westbrook and the Oklahoma City Thunder's pregame dance ritual when their second-round series gets underway on Saturday.

In typical Spurs fashion, the players are concerning themselves with more important matters than who's busting a move on the hardwood prior to tip-off.

"Sometimes I am shocked at all they do," Spurs guard Manu Ginobili said Thursday. "Everybody has their own rituals. As long as they don't interfere with my things and my warmups, I am OK with it."

San Antonio has built a reputation over the years for not only being a respected organization with a winning atmosphere, but for sticking to the book in their approach with a number of star players who don't bring the charisma and entertainment value of some of the league's biggest names.

That's just the way they like it.

"It's who we are," Ginobili added. "More vanilla."

Tim Duncan knows how incredibly driven Westbrook is, so if hyping himself up before games with a little dancing is something he feels he needs to do, then so be it.

"Everybody has their own way," Duncan said. "Westbrook, there isn't anyone more focused than that kid once on the court. So they can do whatever they want."

The Spurs' mindset is a vastly different from that of Villanueva, who not only butted in on Westbrook and rookie Cameron Payne's dancing, but encouraged the Thunder to "go to a nightclub" if they wanted to get their groove on so badly.
