It's the time of year for Pop settling-in with a solid 9-man rotation. He does it every year in March & April until the last couple of games, if seeding isn't impacted that much. History shows there won't be many opportunities for the 5th Big on the roster (Splitter, this year) in March and beyond. Injuries and fouls are the only situational exceptions. Hill, Neal, Bonner and Blair get the primary bench minutes now. It's tune up the defense time with a shorter rotation. That's just how it is.
Its a great opportunity to rest a little bit more Tim Duncan, and playing more minutes for Splitter! Its gonna be playoffs time in 15 games or less, we cant afford not to have a tall guy against team like Mavs and Lakers who rebounds very well!
I will be very surprised if the Spurs manage to win this game.
Might as well go straight to Dallas if Duncan ain't playing. Win or lose.
Stupid idea.
Timmy is once again our key to winning the championship. Did you watch the last couple minutes of the Houston game on saturday? He made the biggest basket of the night and the biggest free throws as well.
Ummm..no. There's no reason to rest him. It's not like it's the 1st game of a back to back or anything. They don't play again until Friday @Dallas....
i think we should jump out on them fast - then sit Timmy.
If anything the Spurs should start to go to Timmy more, get him ready for the playoffs.
THIS is why I wanted Timmy to sit. Who didn't see this coming from a mile away?
Don't blame Crawford for doing what he's told to do, this is the NBA these days and the circus is in town.
If Timmy sat this one out, we could of saved a little dignity and came out blazing against Dallas.
FUCK!! The Miami Heat DO NOT deserve this redemption. FUCK!!
