maybe the other players will appreciate the big three creating more space for the other role players to shoot

Man if throwing a game doesn't warrant some ing, I don't know what does.
It is every NBA team's duty to play their best players if they are physically able. Willfully putting an inferior product out on the floor is not fair to the fans and is an affront to league rules. Teams can be fined for doing this same thing at the end of a season when willfully tanking.
so why has the league not fined suns this season over benching shaq
I don't know why the Spurs would throw a game against DEN, who is nipping at their heels for that #2 spot. That's just pure stupidity IMHO.
It's one thing to not wear yourself out to get the #1 seed, but you also don't want to drop too far down and end up having to play tougher opponents in the 1st/2nd rounds.
spurs could always make up injuries to duncan and tp and said that is why they did not play
The coach has right a do what is best for their team.
The NBA will live if one game if a team doesn't play their best players. The Spurs have already come to Denver (and won) with the Big 3 earlier this season.
If people can't handle one game like this...tough!!
I don't think a fan of the Blazers should be lecturing anyone else about affronts to league rules.
I don't think they will drop too far and they will still get a top #4 seed.
I believe everybody is making too big a deal out of this.
A number of years ago when Shaq was still with Lakers I seem to remember them sitting Shaq and Kobe near the end of the season without notifying the league beforehand. I believe they received a substantial fine. This is worse imo.
near the end of the season......it's only early Feb
and even if the Spurs got a fine.....they will be glad to pay it.
especially if their big 3 are fully healthy for the playoffs.
I'm sorry you seem so outraged by this!!!
Bonner, Hill, Mason
don't give up, Maybe we can win tonight
I think it's a good move by Pop. Seeing that the Big Three do need some more rest for the tougher parts of the road trip, especially since the Spurs won't play again til Sunday at Boston. This would give them some much needed rest for that game.
oooooooooohhh!... you tell 'em OV.
Pop dares the league office to question one of his coaching decisions.
it's only an 8 point game. they MIGHT want to win this one and play.
After the Donaghy scandal I don't see HOW the league can put up with this crap!
It's not even the ASB though, I've never seen a team rest their players this early in the season.
Well, Popovich is different!
If this game helps in the long run....so be it!!
I've never been impressed with the Nuggets.
It is Pop's choice, his team. Fans may not like it, but it is not up to us.
You're too much of a fan to see the writing on the wall. This isn't a good sign.
spurs are within 4 points in the 4 quarter
