Just a thought. What if Pop and Steve got together and rested players on their road game to the other's home court? Both go 41-0.
Now that would be a good laugh at the former commissioner. (Refuse to call his name)
Do you think Adam Silver would have the balls to fine them both?
LOL... Sean talking about how Pop is likely to treat the GS game like any other B2B, and only think about how to rest guys to get ready for the playoffs. It would almost be worth the L, just to sit back and watch the epic fucking meltdown if the Dubs go 41-0 and the Spurs don't.
What's the over/under on how many "Fire Pop" threads would get created?
Then Pop goes out and puts this burden in the young players. Psychological group pressure.Quote:

Others, for example Bobby Knight when he has some undefeated Indiana teams, said he thinks it can be so good for the confidence that you begin to think and play like you cannot be beaten. Not some arrogant nonsense but genuine confidence showing itself on the floor.
I say they go for it, echoing plenty of road games to rest.

I think the rest of it is meaningless. The Spurs also know that they are a good team, and there isn't another team in the league this year that should be able to win a series against them. If I were Pop, I wouldn't think for a second about 41-0 at home. But I would go all-out against the Warriors at home. And even if the Warriors came out on top, I would make it hurt.
You don't need a target on your back in the playoffs. :lol
In fact you probably don't want to be the refs for the home game we do lose. Lots of scrutinization tbh. We'll get more calls at home if we have a 41-0 record.
Tonight's game at Utah was a good example. How many times this year did it look like the Warriors might be about to drop a game on the road, but then won it in the last few minutes? The Spurs could send a message: "That shit might work everywhere else, but not in our house." That's the one and only justification I can see for going 110% at any of the remaining games.
This was always an all-in kind of season, but it sure as hell wasn't all-in for regular season home court record.
Like the year the Spurs won 20 games in a row entering the WCF and didn't have a losing streak and proceeded to lose 4 straight to OKC?Quote:

That loss at home, if it were not for that loss at home, that's a blocking foul.

I could see that scenario being more of a case in Oracle, though. If we're threatening their 41-0, it's an offensive foul on Leonard. If they're threatening ours... it's an and 1.Quote:
