Gregg Popovich after the Bobcats game:
“It was great to have the bench come in, so Manu wouldn’t have to play too many minutes. I wanted to play Tony even less, but he’s the youngster of the group. To have Steve come in and everyone off the bench, George, Gary, Steve all came in and did a great job. DeJuan does his job every night and hopefully he’ll be alright with his wrist; we’ll check him out.”
:flag::flag::flag:
let's hope we can once again rest our main guys.
i want to see splitter play on a consistent basis these last few weeks.

Referee Assignment

Golden State @ San Antonio: Bill Kennedy; Kevin Fehr; Leroy Richardson
:hungry:
Can't wait for the game.
Classic trap game, Spurs need to jump on this team hard and fast and then let the bench close out a rout.
i hope Pop gives Dice the night off in favor of starting Splitter...though Dice might be the only guy that can guard Lee.
Splitter has the lateral movement to do so but Lee might draw some quick fouls on him.
I don't think it's occurred to Pop yet that Splitter is a center and Duncan is a power forward, and that they can both play on the floor at the same time. It's entirely possible that the reason Pop hasn't given Splitter any burn is his desire not to take minutes away from Timmy.Quote:

The Spurs are supposed to be trying to get rounded into playoff shape. There should be no more trap games.
Should be another easy win... the next 4 are pretty brutal though.
stay injury free is the main target now instead of getting meaningless wins, gsw should be tankin this game to get a better draft position
ˇjuego del desvío!
I still can't believe Pop doesnt play them together. It's like he completely forgot about the effectiveness of the Tim/Oberto combo....Quote:

That said hes probably getting a DNP tonight. hope i'm wrong.
I had grand visions of a new twin tower lineup this season, and there was a Pop quote early on that made my blood run cold, where I suddenly realized that Pop saw Splitter as a backup to Timmy, and STILL saw Blair as a center. The good feelings about restored Spurs defense have been eroding ever since.
Spurs win this one easily ... no trap game at all
It would be nice to see how Duncan and Splitter play together.
If Duncan and Splitter played together a manu/splitter pnr would be easier to run..
The three guard lineups would also work much better with Duncan and Splitter on the front line. Much more ability to guard the rim coupled with the ability to just pick and roll the crap out of everyone.
The Spurs only need to look at the standings to see the Lakers still charging. The mavs and lakers will be fighting for the two seed in the west til the final games of the season. I'm not against the plan being to rest McDyess, but I don't want to see him out of uniform tonight, just in case he is needed. This is no time to give a game back to the field. When the Spurs cinch up the home court advantage for the entire playoffs, then sit the 30 year old guys. If they can clinch HCA within the next 8-9 games that would give Pop 10 - 12 days to rest the vets, and also 4 or 5 games at the end of the season to play Splitter.
:flag::flag::flag: :wakeup
Duncan and Blair play tonight? :flag:
Wow. A game thread which devolves into a Splitter-minutes thread on the first page. I just wish everyone could forget about that guy for a minute. Leave him alone/get off his jock. He will not be a factor in the playoffs this year.
are you that awktalk guy who got banned or something?Quote:

I wonder if Splitter gets another start

rofl
Beat me to it :lol
Damn, Blair would've been a good weapon tonight for Pop's small-ball lineups....
Well I hope Blair returns Wednesday....
Tiago should get a chance then...
After the last game, Pop will probably start Novak. :lolQuote:

danny green seems like a good guy, best of luck to him here
Choice of call on my TV LP tonight! :spin
Dice starting
Anyone see Tim throwing the balls at Sean? :lmao
Tim hitting Elliott with the ball in the head over and over was funny
Duncan messes with Elliott in some way before a lot of games. :lol
Totally forgot Sean went to U of A, he's gonna be on Texas ass all night. :lol
Timmy dunk 10 seconds in!
Early dunk by Timmy
Manu lay-in from TP.
Great ball movement.

bright side. our white twin towers get to shine.
I don't like resting players for no reason at all if they are healthy.
Turned ankle. Probably sprained.
Sonofabitch.
shiiet
There goes our chip' if this injury is serious.
and splitter draws so many fouls. only if he could make em.
helped out... hopefully it's just a mild sprain
Novak helped him off the court.
At least Splitter is getting time..:depressed
Splitter really needs to learn how to finish. He NEVER makes both FT's.
I'll keep saying it, Splitter never had that hitch in his FT shot during the World Championships...
Obvious post is obvious.Quote:

The bat came both time against sacramento, and the last time Timmy scared us that way, it was against the warriors also...
ok, I leave...
Pop about to sit Duncan for remainder of the year no matter how bad it is.
Splitter with the flush!
fuck this game
golden state is a bad luck team
should have rested Duncan again
Splitter not fucking around.
Tiago playing well
Please don't be hurt, Tim. Not just because I'm in the semi final of fantasy going for a 4-peat, but because I care about the Spurs chances.
