Amused is an attention whore, tbh. Why the risk?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I've been posting in this forum for 10 years, I should be able to start game threads whenever. Last couple game blogs I have started were injury free.

So despite getting 3 weeks off, Pop decides TP needs to rest because he's "tired" even though it's not a back to back and even with that rest TP can't manage to score a point, secure a rebound, grab a steal or get an assist? Time to worry..

we killin them... get it to 20 and give me some dayelight

I'm ok with him being rested if it means he'll have more stamina for another deep PO run.

[DPG21920]

I'm saying getting 3 weeks of should (in addition to heavily managed minutes) should have anyone rested. The fact TP was "tired" after getting that on a non back-to-back and with that rest can't do anything tonight is alarming.

[crc21209]

Solid move by Green :tu. His handles look slightly better...

[Cry Havoc]

That was a SUPERSTAR pass by Kawhi. Just WHAT. He's evolving.

[ElNono]

TP been defending Lawson well

[DPG21920]

I mean, look at the difference between Danny and TP with that rest. It's alarming to think TP should have another level when he's been off all season and 3 weeks straight no stress rest hasn't had him looking consistently better. In fact, he's still looking gassed even on non back to backs.

[Cry Havoc]

Tony Parker with perhaps the shot of the game. Fouled by two guys!

[barakz21]

Kind of off topic, but it seems like I' haven't seen TP attempt a teardrop in the past few seasons, and if he did, they were probably far in between.. Can somebody confirm this?

[ElNono]

good job... easy baskets :tu

Tony's only putting up about 60% effort out there. By the time he subs in for the end of the 2nd our games are usually over. I think he'll step it up about 3 notches come playoff time.

[RD2191]

Winning without TP is fine to me, especially since he gets shut down by the Heat/Thunder anyways. If we're winning without him I'm all for it.

[Cry Havoc]

He threw one up a game or two ago.

I've been worried all season. It never was a good idea for Tony to play FIBA ball after a long post-season last year. We've been winning in spite of Tony's overall shittiness.

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs visibly coasting, still winning by 18

[crc21209]

The fact that the Spurs were already up 14 points close to the end of a first half when TP gets his first points should prove just how damn good this team is. The Spurs dont need one player to dominate the ball or dominate in scoring...

[KawhiLeonard]

All Daye

Daye regressing. To be expected. Though I did expect him to go up strong underneath that one play. He's kinda soft, but this is well known.

[DapDaGenius]

He played less than 8 minutes when I said that. Watch the game, bruh. No one else was out there huffin and puffin like he was. :lmao

Denver plays home games at altitude, they run like rabbits when in lower altitudes. It's hard for guys like Tim, Boris and even Baynes.

[KawhiLeonard]

Omg I just got a hard on watching Daye stretch the floor like that.

Seriously. Everyone except maybe Miami, Indiana, OKC, and perhaps the Clippers look like D-league teams against us right now.


Of course, there's a LOT of time left and this is just the regular season. But the defense and shooting are things that will probably stick with us into the post-season. Promising signs.

If we aren't in peak form yet, I don't know when we will be. The only thing I could ask for is for Duncan to raise his shooting percentages a bit. This team looks legit and after a season where it was questionable for awhile on whether or not we would rebound from last year's collapse, it's been a welcome sight.

God, I wish the playoffs would begin already.

agreed.

I still think Spurs have another couple gears, but if we're peaking, it's also hard to gauge because the way Pop manages minutes. if a normal team was playing like this but spending a lot of minutes with its starters, I'd be worried about burning out, but this Spurs team is doing things its own way. Never seen so many different units play so fluidly while avoiding a lot of the wear and tear.

Definitely. We are absolutely the deepest team in the league and I believe that we can keep the present rotations even going into the first round. I'm not too worried about the Mavs, tbh.

We went 63 and 19 about 10 years ago. I don't think that we ever did better than that.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are no where in peak form with TP looking like a shell of himself. The fact they can win with TP playing so up and down and looking so fatigued so often is quite amazing IMO.

[Johnny RIngo]

Whats our most wins in a reg season in history?

63 in '06

[ElNono]

Pop starting Manu in the 2nd half... guess he wants to rest the big 3 if we can extend the lead

[jkid12456]

i think we can beat our record

[ElNono]

timmy been hitting that tonight

[cd021]

If Indi loses and Spurs win tonight, Spurs will have a 4.5 game lead over Indiana with a showdown on 3/31. If Spurs were to win that then they would essentially eliminate Indiana from having the best record in the NBA. Spurs would also have the tie breaker (the season series would be split and then it would go down to Indiana's record vs West (17-11) and Spurs record vs East (23-6)

[DPG21920]

Makes no sense to sit Danny to start here. If you want to end the game early, he was playing so well so why sit him?
