So... Who plays on thursday?

[DAF86]

What do you think and what would you want?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

I hope pop trouts out the d league line up. Don't want to give them anymore looks at us full strength

[YGWHI]

I want to see all our guys against Warriors and OKC...in SA, I don't care about Thursday road game.

[Benoit]

Im sure you guys will use excuses if even 1 single player misses the game lmao

[Spur|n|Austin]

According to Tony post game with Bill & Sean - I'm guessing everyone plays (minus Diaw).

[Ditty]

Im sure you guys will use excuses if even 1 single player misses the game lmao

Just like your fan base did last game :lol

[SpurPadre]

Im sure you guys will use excuses if even 1 single player misses the game lmao

Like Draymond does on Twitter?

[Benoit]

Just like your fan base did last game :lol

Only after people were acting like it was an impressive W against us without 3 rotation players on the 6th game in 9 days lmao

You guys were using 50 year old Tim Duncan(cant even play against us anymore) as an excuse for a 30 point beatdown

[ducks]

Is bogut playing

[ElNono]

who are we playing? These meaningless games just get boring, tbh... bring on the playoffs...

[Benoit]

Id be surprised if Pop plays his top guys and old guys

This one has 40 point beatdown written all over it either way

[Benoit]

Dubs are healthy for the first time in forever btw

[SpurPadre]

Considering there's no game tomorrow, there's no reason to throw Thursday's game. Just tank the Nuggets game after.

[DAF86]

We have a b2b the following night and then the one we do care against GS at home on sunday. I say play every available body on thursday. Sent the main guys home right after the game so they can have a two days rest for sunday and play the scrubs vs Denver.

[Hoops Czar]

I hope pop trouts out the d league line up. Don't want to give them anymore looks at us full strength

Yeah, because Kerr can coach in the NBA but hasn't figured out how to operate a DVD player yet. Every single game the Spurs have played this season has been recorded with many of those vids showing the Spurs at full strength.

[Ditty]

Duncan is fine out there when Bogut is on the floor, and our best interior defender and leader so I hope Bogut is out there as much as possible.

Will probably help y'all out when Aldridge shits on Green again.

Rush had a solid game, and Iggy wouldn't have made a difference as Kawhi wasn't even very good last game.

[PopTheGOAT]

Kinda like this 3 point lead on the wolves at home? :lmao

[Splits]

[wingster]

Rest the big three.

[apalisoc_9]

You can play with a full strength without showing any of your cards tbh. Denver makes the most sense in terms of resting.

[DAF86]

Yeah, because Kerr can coach in the NBA but hasn't figured out how to operate a DVD player yet. Every single game the Spurs have played this season has been recorded with many of those vids showing the Spurs at full strength.

You can show your guys all the tapes you want. It's still not the same as the players getting the on court experience.

Spurs don't play other team same way they play the Warriors either.

[SpurPadre]

Although it would be pathetically hilarious to see Draymond doing his flexing bit after scoring on Bonner while Curry does his shimmy shit after scoring on Simmons. It'll be like Dream Team 1 when they showboated every time they dunked on Abu Dhabi' s 5'3 center.

[Benoit]

LMAO

and 26 points on 25 shots isnt shitting on somebody

[Kawhitstorm]

40 pts beat-down? Worriers almost lost to the Sixers when they were turning the ball over like hot potatoes.:lmao

[Kawhitstorm]

Only after people were acting like it was an impressive W against us without 3 rotation players on the 6th game in 9 days lmao

Tim raw dogged Bogut last season in the "Kawhi Game":lol

[Ditty]

LMAO

Not bad..

:lol 14 points on 18 shots

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs don't play other tWarriors same way they play the Warriors either.

Offense or defense? True Defensive assignments and tactics might change based on the opponent but the offense will stay relatively the same..... ISO, post-ups and kick outs. Besides, Pop has already shown his hand in the last meeting between the two. It's Kerr's turn to adjust and I doubt he's going to show a whole lot of anything new either.

[aal04]

Its end of season and we have rested far too much that i still see some rust.

Play them high minutes, get them battle ready for finals. If injury comes so be it. I want to take the risk of hitting the finals at full speed. No lazy game 1-3s

[Ditty]

Don't show these bitches anything.

Beat them with a limited lineup like we have in the past. :lol

[SpurPadre]

Had we not choked the Hornets game, this game would've had importance. Worst loss of the season, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

Dubs with another bullshit call in their favor. Dubrefs, tbh.

[ace3g]

OT!!!

[PopTheGOAT]

Worriers :lmao

[AZK619]

Splash Twinks getting taken to OT by the T-Wolves :lol

Spurs coming for that ass in the playoffs.

[itzsoweezee]

Who'd of thought Warriors wouldn't have an answer to the defense simply switching on screens?

[Ditty]

Warriors are nothing special. You got to knock down some shots though.

[ace3g]

Who lets Shabazz go for 31 against them?

[Spur|n|Austin]

lol

[ducks]

Gs might loss tonight

[ace3g]

KAT!!!

[ace3g]

KAT!!! and 1!!!

[ducks]

Towns killing gs

[Spur|n|Austin]

Of course Curry

[ducks]

Dubs with another bullshit call in their favor. Dubrefs, tbh.

[SpursFan86]

C'mon KAT, you gotta make that FT.

Still a 4-point game...Minnesota needs a stop here

[Spur|n|Austin]

The GS inside is weaker than most think

[ducks]

Curry is a ball hog shooting his team out of it

[SpursFan86]

Wow...GS actually lose at home to the Timberwolves :lol

[r0drig0lac]

KAT is a monster

[DAF86]

What about now sons? Us giving them b2b losses for the first time in their season and killing their record chase at the same time could be mind breaking stuff, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

Why the fuck did we have to choke that Hornets game?! FUCK!

[$pursDynasty]

Bonner might start now, Pop might send everyone home after the Timberwolves won in Oracle tonight

[itzsoweezee]

Warms my heart: 42 minutes Step Curry, 40 minutes Klay, 39 minutes Draymond

[AZK619]

TNT announcers shitting on T-Wolves, smh.

[itzsoweezee]

On the other hand, the Warriors could beat the record by ending the Spurs' home win streak. That would be absolutely brutal.

[jbspurs]

Id be surprised if Pop plays his top guys and old guys

This one has 40 point beatdown written all over it either way

And pathetic Warriors fans will over celebrate another meaningless regular season win.

Marc J. SpearsThe Undefeated

Outside of Boris Diaw (groin) who is still in San Antonio, source said Spurs core is playing tomorrow versus the Warriors in West showdown.

[spursistan]

^ Pop is a major asshole if he plans on punting the home game instead..

[Kawhitstorm]

^ Pop is a major asshole if he plans on punting the home game instead..

He just wants D-West/Timmay/Fat Head to get reps against the Worriers since they didn't play much in the last meeting. He was definitely prepping them against the Jazz w/ the switching defense.

Diaw is a know commodity so no reason to play him. He isn't playing to win but to simulate the game plan.

[apalisoc_9]

^ Pop is a major asshole if he plans on punting the home game instead..
He will them in both games.

The only games that make sense to rest is Dallas and @Denver.

Thse are ideal games to rest. Hit two birds in in one stone. Winning out and significant rest

[baseline bum]

You rushed the floor for Jordan when he rang in your building. I spit on you.

[SpursDynasty]

Im sure you guys will use excuses if even 1 single player misses the game lmao

You mean how you used the excuses that the Spurs won in 2003 due to Dirk/Webber out, in 2007 due to Diaw/Amare out, and in 2014 due to Perkins out?

[Jdspur20]

Just like your fan base did last game :lol

Hahahaha, yep.

[NameLess Scrub]

He isn't playing to win but to simulate the game plan.

I suspect this too. They'll play everybody and try, but not kill themselves to win.

I expect them to try harder at home, but still if the Warriors pull away I doubt they'll put heavy minutes on anybody.

Nobody expects the Spurs to catch the Warriors with the way this season has gone and the opponents left for each team.

[SAGirl]

Good point. :tu
Diaw is injured. It came out apparently as a groin injury, so we'll see with him when he's back.

Timmy specially needs reps. He barely played GSW.

Kyle barely played either and he needs experience and as many reps as you can give him.

Dwest hasn't played the 4 much, didn't play last game much either and the January game really doesn't count for much. All these guys need reps and practice.
