Should Pop rest the starters tonight?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Finals are around the corner, and with an aging team you want to get them as much rest as possible.

This would be a great time to give the bench more experience in preparation for the final round.

Sit out the Big 3 and Kawhi, and let Gary Neal shine as a franchise player for one night only.

I think they're on a JetBlue flight back to SA right now.

[spursfan1000]

We will have 10days rest already

[look_at_g_shred]

No. Tonight's game isn't just any other game. If we win, we will be the Western Conference Champs. We should end the series as soon as possible. The team will have plenty of rest before the Finals (almost too much).

[spursfan09]

That's a 500,000 fine in the playoffs

Depends on if you're starting the game thread tbh.

winner

[vander]

I sure hope none of the old guys play more than 15 minutes

[McGusto55]

Why...

[tuncaboylu]

Tell me you're joking.

:lmao :lmao

Well played

[Captivus]

No, winning the conference finals would be amazing.
We are spoiled fans, but kmon!

[RD2191]

:lmao

[mudyez]

Go all in first and be quick to pull them if it doesn't look good!

Just try to win with Timmy and Manu at ~25minutes and parker with not more than 35.

[HarlemHeat37]

I don't understand these threads, tbh:lol..

Why would any team rest players in the conference finals?..

Can't believe 1/2 the posters actually think this thread is serious. :lmao

Game 4 is a must win, Neal meltdown, rest the starters in a WCF closeout game. Get ahold of yourself, ST poster. This is what happens when you're up 3-0

[BackHome]

Yeah the Grizz are not going to lay down and die for us they are going to put up a fight. So Pop don't screw up again and unless you have a twenty point lead with less then five minutes play your starters.

[TJastal]

This is defenitely not the game to go all out in. Will have 2 more chances at home to seal the deal.

[Arcadian]

:lol

...Resting players in the playoffs...

:lol

...In a closeout game...

:lol

...The ultimate pussy move...

:lol

they're typical bait to get GNSF reactions, tbh... I recall starting a couple of them last season mid-Utah/Clippers series and they never fail, tbh :lol

[GB20]

:huh

[Juggity]

This would be incredibly insulting both to the league and the Grizzlies. If the stakes weren't so high, I'd almost be inclined to say yes.

[Budkin]

Pure sarcasm.

[RD2191]

Bullshit, the thread backfired and now amused is backpedaling.

[Horry Hipcheck]

No. Destroy them.

What is this? The last game of the regular season?

No. Win tonight with a sweep and the team will have 10 days of rest (if my math is correct.)

THERE'S your rest.

[FkLA]

Im assuming its a joke tbh. I remember last year someone made a similar thread asking if we should keep the Big 3 in San Antonio instead of flying them out to Salt Lake City. :lol

[DaSafan]

Professional lurker here.
In general, the posters here seem wise, informed and have some good thoughts and insight. That's why I lurk. However, that being said, this may be the stupidest post I've ever seen and felt the need to say so. I suggest putting Tim's foot of their throats early and beat them into submission.
Heal and prepare.
Rest the starters. WTF!?! WCF's fool.

[bigfan]

The short answer: hell no.

San Antonio Spurs ‏@spurs (https://twitter.com/spurs) 27 May (https://twitter.com/spurs/status/338461091912880128) Game 4 starters: T-Mac, Blair, Bonner, Joseph and Neal.

[HemisfairArena]

Champions go for the throat every chance possible. They dont sit players when up 3-0 in a series.

[m33p0]

:fishing

[lmbebo]

yes, send everyone home. Have the assistant coaches play the game.

[Ellsworth]

Just forfeit the game & go home with another 2 days of rest & close out in game 5... why not?

[Marcus Bryant]

Win the fuckign game first.

:wtf

[easjer]

Eh, I read the thread title, not the poster. Given some of the other shit posted on here, it's not a crazy leap for some complete idiot to make.

[superjames1992]

I'd like to see Pop do this, as illogical as it may be, just for the firestorm it would cause, tbh. :lol
