Hoops talk not for you. Sorry man. Youre a failure
That was on Rudy. We were switching everything. He was late on the switch. We are fortunate he is as long as he is.

Yep he and ball can rebound like no other, but cant dribble, shoot...
Sad you dont understand the game?
Great call. What's your take on tomorrow's game, tipster.
Spurs by 14
without the BIG One, and 2 good perimeter players.
Lamarcus gave them a lot of trouble. Bryn, Manu and Hots played well.. but the truth is LMA dominated when he went inside, he grabbed offensive boards, and so did Rudy. Kawhi would have killed them too had he played.
Team is in a great position. They just have to get healthy.
Ringing my bookie right now!
I understand it just fine. Better than some got who uses the word "pwned" like yourself.

U do know poor defenders get picked easily, right? Good defenders are known for fighting through picks... Let's not pretend as if that's no longer an important part of playing good defense
Ha ha. Grew up in Vegas, you know, its in the water.
Yea agreed. Can't wait for him to come back.
I hope we get our injuries out the way now and have some GS luck in the playoffs
Had a fraternity brother from Vegas. I NEVER sat in the same game with him.
40 years old, ing legend but still bailing out the team.
You don't fight thru screens when the strategy is to switch everything tho...
Good Manu. The old man still got it.
Damn good game against the league leader.
This is what I agree with 100%. I had no problem resting Tim, Manu and now Tony (because he's coming back from a major injury). No one else should be resting (sorry, forgot to mention Rudy too). Tim was playing 40 minutes plus in all the big games when he was Kawhi's age. It's ing ridiculous.
You're putting more stress and strain on the healthy players that are there. Danny and Kyle have both been playing hard this season and now they're injured. So my logic is that all this resting of healthy players can have more negative effects than positive ones. The other one being your main players aren't ready for extended minutes in the playoffs and they can't perform under physical duress when their minutes are increased. they tire to easily, and that could be disasterous with the game up for grabs in the later stages of it, or at the end of the game when it's on the line.
Even back in 2010, or whenever Malik Hairston was here is when I first disagreed with it. Don't ask me why I mentioned Malik, it's just around that time I remember Pop doing it and I've disagreed with it ever since. I agree with Tim Grover (Jordan and D-Wade's former trainer) in regards to resting. He thinks players can't learn to push through fatigue and build mental toughness from it for when it really matters.
And the other issue is, how long does Tony and Rudy have to keep playing the same amount of limited minutes? Surely if they're cleared 100% and have been back a while, how would keeping them at the exact same amount of minutes make the chances or re-injury less? I agree Tony's minutes should still be limited, but what about Rudy? How long do you continue to play him limited minutes? He still needs to learn the plays and learn/improve on defense. He's not going to do that without court time.
With a very depleted squad, too.
