Will the big 3 play tonight?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Considering the Spurs blew out Orlando, hopefully Pop will try out the big 3 against the Heat

[silverblackfan]

I would bet he plays them for the first 3 quarters and then lets the bench finish the game.

He'll sit out all the starters and watch with glee as Cory Joseph, James Anderson, and Bonner take their place.
C'mon on a nationaly telivised game do you really not expect any of them to play?

[Mel_13]

Everyone plays, but Pop will pull the plug early if Miami builds a big lead.

No too late for a lot of things. Is assisted suicide available in Australia? If so, investigating it could produce a very useful outcome for you and many others.

[Paranoid Pop]

Yes they will.

Better question is how long.

As per twitter Battier is out.

[TE]

This will be a very interesting game...It'll be a challenge to try and guard Miami's small ball lineup with the current assets we possess. Sucks not being able to see the team go full strength against Miami.

[Budkin]

We need to have a good showing against them. We've been blown out badly the last two years so I expect a better game this time.

[Hoops Czar]

Well, it was composed with your approval in mind. Glad to see it was on target

This is true. I believe there was only one game before last season where the Big 3 all sat when healthy (aside from games at the very end of the season).

Memphis is the team we need to beat. If we find ourselves in Miami again, that's a good thing, because it means we're in the Finals.

Tank it tonight, Pop! Do it! Give TNT the big middle finger! :lol

If all four are headed back to SA, then it's FULL TANK MODE tonight. Good. I can watch the Marquette-Florida game instead...at least that game will be competitive. :lol

[Bruno]

Duncan played 17:41min in the first half against Orlando and Parker played 18:30min in the first half. Pop wasn't trying at all to give them some rest in prevision of the Heat game. It sounds a lot like his initial plan was not to play them against Miami. The Orlando game ending in a blowout could have changed this initial plan but he could also stick to it.

[bklynspursfan]

I would've benched them vs Orlando if at all, but even so they've looked good lately.. Would really liked to have let them play tonight. Mainly cause they've looked good, Manu was finding his rhythm, TP was getting it going on the road trip.

[Mal]

Lmao TNT, Popovich screw their game. Guess everybody will watch ncaa/nfl.

[Bruno]

I think this story will make a lot of noise.

It takes huge cojones to do something like that. Screwing a high profile game like that is unheard of. I wouldn't be surprised to see Stern publicly reacting to that and warning teams that they aren't allowed to do that.

[NASpurs]

Yeah no shit, Stern will say "Fuck You" to Pop and give the Spurs the worst refs in the playoffs. :lol

Considering we had 4 games in 5 days I guess if pop was going to tank one game he chose the one we were most likely to lose anyway. Maximizing our record. What if we tanked and lost to Orlando only to lose at full strength to Miami.

Still would have been great to test us against the best with the way Tim tony Manu have been playing.

Teams can do whatever the fuck they want to. There's no rule that says you must play certain players in any given game.

[spurs10]

:lol
This did make me laugh out loud. Pop might sit them just to shoot a big middle finger to Stern for letting a team on a 4 in 5 days play a team with 4 days on a nationally televised game.

[Rummpd]

Not a good decision by Pop no matter how this is spun.

[Mugen]

i'd feel bad for the Spurs fans trying to go to the game tonight but i figured they probably turned into Laker fans circa 2008 and then Heat fans in 2011.

[bigfan]

If true (and I hope it is) I think its very smart. The real enemy is the Grizz and Randolph, not the Heat. No need for the Big 3 to get wiped out tonight and then have to be ready for the Grizz. If the Heat wins tonight, so what? If our reserves win, now thats a whole nuther story! Im going to watch regardless to see just how strong Blair, Splitter and Bonner can be.

I know you are referencing Stern's mentality, and not your own, but....Team's aren't allowed to do what? Rest their players during a ridiculously lopsided road schedule?

I'm not going to pretend like Pop's only motivation in doing this is rest...but it's a coaches job to protect his team, both mentally and physically.

Even with the Big 3 on the floor, the chances of the road-weary Spurs winning this game were probably minute compared to the chances that they get blown out on national TV. What does that do for the team's psyche? It was a trap game, through and through.

Pop has essentially diffused what was most likely a bad situation. Now the Spurs won't be expected by anybody to win, and if by some miracle they do, it will be a huge boost to the Spurs' bench's ego and a huge crush to the Heat's. In the meantime, the Big 3 get to rest up for what is potentially a larger game (standings wise) against division-rival Memphis in what promises to be a physical game on Saturday.

There is nothing in the rule book that says a coach has to play his best players. He is there to lead his team, not be an entertainer. If Stern wants to come out with a warning, he can shove it where the sun don't shine.

First, as you've guessed I'm referencing to Stern's mentality. Personally, I have no issue at all with Pop doing that.

While Pop is doing his job as a coach with that move, Stern will have to do his job as a commissioner. As a commissioner, his job is to make the NBA a profitable business. Pop screwing a national televised game is bad for the NBA business.

[Mugen]

It's a big F.U. to Stern and the schedulers who always favor the big market teams so i'm always a huge fan when Pop does this.

[Ice009]

Pop should be fined. You can't just sit people if they are in good enough shape to play. Sure the schedule sucks, but every team has some games that are hard schedule wise.

It's a delicate balance. Most competitive players (and coaches) are concerned about one thing: winning. Entertaining the fans is a secondary byproduct to that; people watch to see their team try to win.

I know that doesn't jive with Stern's responsibility of making the league profitable, and quite honestly: I personally don't care. He's already skewed the league towards the major markets in the name of profitability. At some point, he needs to realize this is a sport, not a show. If people want a show, they should go to a movie or Broadway or WWF.

Every team can also rest their players if they want to during those games.

[timvp]

Tbh, Stern screwed himself with one of the most unbalanced schedules I've ever seen. You can't have the old Spurs playing four in five nights and have the Heat playing the their first game in five nights and expect Pop to not at least consider pulling some sort of shenanigans. The schedule-maker needs to update his software if that type of unbalance is even allowed to be spit out.

Regarding Stern's reaction, I think Bruno is partially right. In the past, Stern has told coaches and front office people that have moved on from the Spurs organization that they won't be able to get away with the stuff that Pop gets away with. Pop has been grandfathered into being allowed to do things others aren't allowed to do (such as treat media like second-class citizens, refuse to wear a mic at halftime, be short with sideline reporters, shield his players from interviews, hide his practice locations on the road, etc, etc, etc). Stern can't do anything about Pop sitting his players either but you can bet he'll send a memo to the other coaches discouraging the practice.

As far as wondering if Stern will go to Pop directly ... I doubt it. Pop can point to the ridiculous schedule and Stern won't have a response.

[Bruno]

Pop = badass

[eric365]

Same problem in soccer with meaningless cup games and a rule in some countries is to have at least a certain number of starter from a game to the next one.

For the nba it could be that you have to play at least 2 or 3 starters from the last game

But it doesn't fix it at all. You can still rest your star duo or even play the stars only one minute...

[DMC]

What part of "nationally televised game" did you miss from the original post?

Failol par per etc

[silverblackfan]

Lets be real, if the Spurs make it to the finals, the refs will be helping the Heat all the way. If OKC thought they got screwed last year, then the Spurs would get worse. It doesn't matter if the Spurs played the Big 3 or not tonight. Might as well protect the team's health and prepare for Memphis, which is the more relative threat at this time.

[Bruno]

but how could he ever objectively enforce a rule against it ?

What is the most problematic for the league isn't that Pop trashed a game, it's that he did it in a prime time nationally televised game.

Making a hard rule to avoid coaches to give DNP-rest to players will be nearly impossible. However, Stern can do at least two things:
- He can give more constraints to the NBA scheduler to avoid teams being tempted to trash a nationally televised game. You can imagine news constraint like "teams can't a play a nationally televised game if it's their 4th game in 5 days or if it's at the end of a b2b with a flight above a certain distance..."
- Stern can talk to the owners and tell them that teams trashing nationally televised games could cost them a lot of money because TV incomes could slip. If they want to keep the league profit at its level, they must keep their coach, one of their employee, away from such moves.

friggin clown. What's wrong with protecting the team's health against the Washington Wizards. It would sting a lot more if one of the big three got injured against a winnless team without their two best players. I think actions speak louder than words. Pop is afraid of the Miami Heat and he doesn't want his team to lose confidence going forward so he took the coward's way out. Green is pretty worthless though. He could take a month off and nobody would notice.

It isn't just because it was nationally televised, it was a road game and the sell out crowd just pissed away good money to see to elite clubs. Nobody's paying to see De colo and Mills get lit up by Wade and Lebron. I expect a pretty hefty fine.

Playing tough games does more to help you than playing easy games. You don't get a championship by going through the path of least resistance. We saw it in the playoffs. The Spurs didn't really get challenged through the first two rounds and that was a weakness against the Thunder.

[Hoops Czar]

Why does a win against the Heat mean more than a game against any other eastern conference team?

Because the Wizards and Raptors aren't very good measuring sticks and they've had the 19th easiest schedule in the NBA thus far. Quantity doesn't equal quality. A giant middle finger to anyone who brought tickets to this one.

Oh come now. Have I ever misled anyone here?

The Spurs were 48-7 in the 55 games including Game 2 of the WCF. Are you really taking the position that they would have won the series if they had only played the big 3 in those regular season games in Portland and Utah? Seriously?

Good point. Head to head might mean something. It'll be a nice problem to have, because it means they're in the finals. How bad would it suck to come down to a game 7 in Miami because Pop decided to fuck around tonight and lose by 4 points, when all he really had to do was NOT put Danny Green on that plane?

I actually like David Stern, and defend him often. But cutting the legs out from under his successor is really shitty to do. Don't know what the fuck he was thinking doing that.
