[LakerHater]

Crap, melissa means jinx!

[313]

Easy win

[apalisoc_9]

tough game since I think Pop will rest some players.

[apalisoc_9]

TD, Ginobili, Parker are all probably going to rest.

Slight chance Leonard and Boris rests as well.

Going to need other other players to step up a score.

Offensively, Payton is their weak spot since he can't shoot.

[spurraider21]

based on the minutes distribution against Miami, i wouldn't be so sure pop is likely to rest that many people. maybe just manu because he's coming off an injury

Possibly..I really don't know.

I would think resting players now has more to do with injury risk than "resting".

But

[Mal]

Sit everybody and get 6th seed. Let someone else deal with Warriors

[Mugen]

Rest Duncan.

[bklynspursfan]

Rest Duncan.

+1 to this....

Can't take this game too lightly after being #KnicksTaped.... But sans TD and Manu possibly, they should be able to get er done. Hopefully Mills finds his rhythm.

[ElNono]

:flag:

[Raven]

rest manu and timmy tbh.

[Darius Bieber]

Magic by 10

[Spur|n|Austin]

BillMc you better keep making these threads :tu

[TampaDude]

Should be a blowout win for the Spurs. Orlando is pathetic. Spurs have no excuse losing to those scrubs...none.

[Arcadian]

Yeah, even the Spurs backups are better than the Magic starters.

[Mel_13]

A win tonight clinches a playoff spot for the 18th consecutive season.

Melissa's been good luck this year. I've included her photo in every game thread I've started this season.

Thanks, bro. :toastI'm happy to keep going until someone else wants a chance.

Magic are my second fave team so I follow them pretty closely (lived in Orlando their first few seasons). They've been playing their asses off lately but they are just aren't good enough cohesively and their coach is an idiot. Even if they get a lead they get rattled at the slightest application of pressure. Gotta say though, Elfrid Payton's been pretty impressive. Agree that Spurs should smoke them.

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully Orlando knows better and tanks the game like they should. No point in giving an inspiring effort in an April game against the champs.

[FaM0us Skins]

Spurs will win by double digits.

[Beaverfuzz]

Spurs by 7.

[timtonymanu]

Pop hasn't sat Duncan on back-to-backs this year, oddly enough. So I don't expect him to rest Timmy. The Spurs just need to put this scrub team away early. A tough task considering our guys like taking off stretches of the game

[SpursFan86]

No one besides Kawhi played over 30 minutes last night...wouldn't surprise me if Pop doesn't sit anyone. If he did sit someone, it'd just be Tim and/or Manu...so this should definitely be a win.

Let's see if we can keep up the streak of games with double-digit leads. We're at 17 right now.

[Darius Bieber]

Orlando haven't played since Friday. Nice job NBA scheduling.

Orlando being faggots and trying. smh.

Get a low lottery pick, you scrub team.

[timtonymanu]

If only Pop knew as much about basketball as you.

Well it looked like he was about to check him in for CoJo. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Patty's struggle is so depressing. CoJo has been fine, but this team is better with Patty as the backup.

[PingPong]

Channing Frye sounds like a porn actor name.

[Cry Havoc]

Well it looked like he was about to check him in for CoJo. :lol

Dammit. :pctoss :lol

[loveforthegame]

Rebound please. Thanks.

Man...Orlando's second unit is ROUGH

[TDfan2007]

Great to see Manu hit an outside shot.

[loveforthegame]

Nice to see some guys who struggled last night play better here.

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs playing some active D.

[TXstbobcat]

Nice end to the quarter for the Spurs

[ElNono]

gotta knock down those open looks

[beirmeistr]

bench is really hustling

[timtonymanu]

Nice to see some guys who struggled last night play better here.

Yep, Pop should give Patty another run. It's not like Patty was a scrub for the Spurs last season. They clearly need him.

[ElNono]

Baynes!

Lando is a losing team good to see they are playing like one.

[timtonymanu]

:lol some Spurs fans wanted these Magic scrubs on the team

[FaM0us Skins]

Baynes has 10 pts already.

Kawhi to Tiago

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi has improved so much at the weakest part of his game... Crazy :tu

[ElNono]

Pop might as well rest Tim tonight, tbh... he looks like he can't move

[timtonymanu]

Duncan looks so slow

[TDfan2007]

Pop might as well rest Tim tonight, tbh... he looks like he can't move

Agreed. Playing him was stupid imo...

[PingPong]

Pop playing the 90 year old Timmy against those scrubs in a B2B game. WTF? Let Baynes play 40 minutes today.

[RD2191]

tf is this shit

[Baelzar]

Kluncan.

[timtonymanu]

Timmy is killing the Spurs right now. No shame in resting him, Pop.

[ElNono]

offense back to shit

[ElNono]

come on, grab a board

[timtonymanu]

Pathetic. Pop's stubborn coaching coming through again.

[01Snake]

That guy looks like a complete dumbass with the chia pet hair.

[Silver&Black]

Magic 8-0 run....

[Mikeanaro]

Come on, we need a nice lead by half time dont blew it.

[r0drig0lac]

Manu the coach

[FaM0us Skins]

Wow how did Payton get that rebound.

[BillMc]

Starters unmotivated, bench wants to play. Reverse of the last few games.

[Arc]

the starting line up is ass tonight

[PingPong]

Pop took the game for his own rest. Manu is the coach on charge...

:D

starters benched :lol

BELU BELI!

Beli!

[Mikeanaro]

Take that Oladipus.

[Brazil]

TD, Ginobili, Parker are all probably going to rest.

Slight chance Leonard and Boris rests as well.

Going to need other other players to step up a score.

Offensively, Payton is their weak spot since he can't shoot.

:lol sources

[Silver&Black]

Baynes is our best FT shooter...

My nigga.

[BillMc]

Is Patty officially behind CoJo now?

[RD2191]

we always play shit when that girl refs

[Mikeanaro]

:lol sources
Sources told him lebron was staying with the heat, they are not reliable.

[TXstbobcat]

Is Patty officially behind CoJo now?

I guess mills is now the most expensive 3rd string point guard in the league.

[ElNono]

I thought that was a foul on Baynes... but can't complain, tbh...we got the stops

[timtonymanu]

We have the lead but smh we should be up more.

[beirmeistr]

thought baynes was fouled

[FaM0us Skins]

52-40

[Mikeanaro]

Is Patty officially behind CoJo now?
With Pop I woulnt say so, at the moment...maybe.

[Brazil]

Sources told him lebron was staying with the heat, they are not reliable.

But he had some great predictions afterwards

[dabom]

Love when pop benches the starters cause tony sucks. :lmao

[beirmeistr]

Spurs bench is playing well

[Mikeanaro]

But he had some great predictions afterwards
I only remember the decision 2.0 thing but my sources tell me you could be right.

[beirmeistr]

pop, start the bench

[BillMc]

pop, start the bench

I'd like to see that.

[Perry Mason]

I really hope Mills gets burn in this game. Mills just brings more firepower we will need in the playoffs, and his defense and energy is infectious.

[TXstbobcat]

That fucking screaming lady. :lmao

[MultiTroll]

Just tuning in.
Nicely done Spurs bench?
12 point lead. I like it.
How obvious is Orlandos tanking?

Spurs have come out strong in the second half. Steadily increasing the lead.

[beirmeistr]

definitely a different offens when tp and td are on the floor, they get a lot of touches

[Johnny RIngo]

TD goes 0-2 from the line after the team was perfect shooting FTs up to that point(13-13)
