Should Pop rest the starters on Sunday?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Just a thought.

[KaiRMD1]

Seems like a smart idea but Stern might give substantial sanctions for doing it in the playoffs

[Brunodf]

0.5/10

[spurraider21]

absolutely not. finish the series. sweep the leg. so on and so forth. the less games we play, the less chance of injury. lets get the sweep to get our guys rest and time to recuperate. any time off for TP is a good thing

[50Bestspurever]

fuck no, kill them.

[wtgspurs]

no resting, whats wrong with you?

[wtgspurs]

We need to pop that cherry =)

[Russo21]

Umm no. You have to bury a team and not let them get any momentum. If they sweep on Sunday they'll get plenty of rest before the next series begins anyway.

[Robz4000]

Yes. Unleash Baynes upon Howard and Gasol.

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol rest them for what? if you finish the series you get a week rest.

[Fireball]

whats next? you'll start a game thread?

[spurs10]

Foot to throat....apply pressure until surrender. My opinion, any way.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Are you fuckin serious? There is something wrong with you!

[chazley]

Yea, give them an excuse to play hard down 0-3 :rolleyes

[lmbebo]

You don't sit players in the post season. Fail.

you rest players during the season in preparation for the POST season.

[100%duncan]

If you're planning to start the game thread then yes.

[silverblk mystix]

If you're planning to start the game thread then yes.


:lol

[Austin_Toros]

As long as I see T-Mac play I will be happy.

[eDizzle20]

No team would ever rest starters in the playoffs. Minutes were low last night. Let's finish this thing off on Sunday and get some extended rest.

[justinandimcool]

This series is going to game 5 if we're not careful. Unleash the Baynes, and hopefully he gives some quality minutes next to Tim to finish this off. If we get too much turd towers, the series will be extended and we'll lose out on even more rest, tbh.

[Man In Black]

I was at Staples during the 2001 sweep when the team lost in the WCFs. I hope I'm in the building when the TD sweeps them again for a 2nd time. TD and DRob shutdown the Forum. Being there will make that 01 memory less traumatic.

[boutons_deux]

don't blow the sweep, play everybody to win, THEN rest waiting for the 6 or 7 game MEM/DEN winner.

[itsamanuthree]

When will some users stop trying to look superior to other users (and do it when the majority has supported one point of view.. ehem...). Will they stop when they are humillated repetedly? Someone please do that. Give arrogants a taste of their own medicine. :ihit

[jbspurs]

Rest them starters this Sunday???? :bang What to give them a chance the extend series? Finish the series then rest while waiting for who's next!!

[racm]

Amuseddaysleeper with the bads per par.

[TampaDude]

Rest the starters in Game 4? Dude...this is the PLAYOFFS! Let's sweep these Laker fags and have a week off to rest and get ready for GS or Denver.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

:lol it is downright shocking how many of you took me seriously with this thread.

Holy cow

[Whisky Dog]

Lol I was wondering how long until someone started this thread

[Poolboy5623]

When are "people" going to stop trying to be funny with their attempts at sarcasm, when starting threads? Especially when there is no hint of sarcasm in the post. Does the op really take that much pride in being able to say, "gotcha good?"

[ElNono]

hey!, that was my schtick from last playoffs :lol

[Uriel]

The fact that threads like this are even popping up at all just goes to show how good times are at Spurs Nation.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lets rest starters in a close out playoff game. smh what the fuck...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

hey!, that was my schtick from last playoffs :lol

My bad, but considering how good things today compared to heading into the playoffs it feels to even be able to mess around with a topic like this.


The fact that threads like this are even popping up at all just goes to show how good times are at Spurs Nation.

Exactly :tu

[spurs10]

Starting lineup..Andrew Monaco, Bill Schoening, Bill, Sean, and Baynes.

[Proxy]

Starting lineup..Andrew Monaco, Bill Schoening, Bill, Sean, and Baynes.

Lets not go too easy on them. Avery, Sean, Bruce, T-Mac, and The Admiral.

[Poolboy5623]

I do think/hope pop will rest the starters, once the game is out of reach...absolutely no reason to play any key players, once the game is in hand. Hell even if it happens in the second quarter...get the starters out of there. I thought he left the guys on the floor a tad too long last nt..it's like he was expecting another Kobe comeback in the 4th..

[Spurs 4 The Win]

:lol it is downright shocking how many of you took me seriously with this thread.

Holy cow
You are full of shit, you totally meant it, then you saw the backlash and decided to play it like a joke....

[Amuseddaysleeper]

You're an idiot. Obviously resting the starters during the playoffs would never be possible. Moron.

[benstanfield]

Game should be over in the 2nd quarter anyways. I thought my head was going to explode every time I saw Timmy hit the deck in the 2nd half last night, then Splitter went down. The Lakers couldn't beat the Bobcats in a seven game series right now, give Baynes and Tmac some burn.

[Canibspur]

don't blow the sweep, play everybody to win, THEN rest waiting for the 6 or 7 game MEM/DEN winner.
Youre fuckin with a high man here.

[jermaine]

In the words of the late Pimp C, "Put foots on niggas necks to get sum checks. Hummmmm"

[tmtcsc]

I think the Spurs should feed the Lakers a nice meal, share some laughs and memories, raise a toast to the good times and then go for a walk. A nice, picturesque walk into a lone field. And when the Spurs return alone from that walk, they should speak highly of their opponent and how they competed to the very end. And no one will ever speak of the Lakers again or where they went or what happened to them. Just know they are in a better place.
