We'll go into the WCF rested but not rusted.

win wednesday, and we get a few days of rest, but not a week's worth.

parker wasn't playing the same as game 1-3, and it's not because of batum. he was passing up those same open jumpers on the pick n roll that he's been nailing all series.
plus there's pop throwing in the towel super early, and playing our best guys limited minutes.

definitely something fishy going on here.

Don't think he threw it per se but he didn't do what he would have done had it been a must win. It would have been almost an entire week off. Not good.

I think you're probably good. Your only competition would've been dallasmaverickslose who literally fucking had the gall to make a gme thread before the prior game was even over :lmao

Fortunately that was such a bitch move that everyone recognized mugen's game thread instead even though mugen posted second :rollin

Come on guys, you didn't see Rick Carlisle in the stands pulling the strings, Stotts was a puppet last night. Pop will get out coached severely from here on out. It was a good run.

Just wanted to get that meltdown out of the way when the Spurs are down 2-0 on Wednesday. We got this thing at home but it'll be much closer than expected
