I mean we can all speculate but has Pop said anything besides his typical cryptic snide remarks in the postgame interview? You can't throw away playoff home games to make silly points and the game wasn't out of hand the entire 4th quarter.

In the first minutes of the 4th the Lead got too big to a point were i did not make sense to play him.

His pocket notecards said:

1) sit LaMarcus for the entire 4th quarter

2) don’t forget eggs and milk

3) compliment Becky on her blouse

Yes because trailing by 12 with 15 minutes makes no sense to play Aldridge. It's not like the Nuggets didn't overcome double digit deficits against us. Nor did LA erase a 31 point deficit. Pop was stubborn.

Reading is a skill. I was talking about the 4th Quarter not the 3rd!

The first few minutes in the 4th Aldridge always sits, thats nothing new. But after those minutes it was already over.

Comprehension is a gift. The game is out of reach when the clock hits zero and you have fewer points. Point being large comebacks have been made this postseason in the 4th quarter. I don't have to agree with your lame reasoning for Pop conceding a game way to early.

Because he knows LA is about to ask for a trade in a couple weeks.
