Here's What A Heat Assistant Coach Said To Gregg Popovich

Here's the uncensored audio. Clearly it was part of a joke, as Pop laughs—and Rothstein's been around the association for decades, so you can presume the two veteran coaches know each other well.
But if you were wondering why the audio mysteriously cut out, here's your answer.
