Stern doesn't mind bad ratings for the Spurs; it gives him an excuse not to showcase them.
That's a silly statement!
DrHouse, I've enjoyed debating you but c'mon now!
I've been objective about the Spurs.
If Pop felt he needed to give the big 3 a night off...then so be it!!
Plus, they have a four game lead in their division and still have a top #4 seed.
Down 11 now. They could have won this game by putting in Duncan and Parker. Complete bull .
actually they got within 3
The Spurs have no more heart, including their spineless, defeatist of a coach.
Yup that's right, you weren't catching the lakers even without Bynum. Might as well throw in the towell and send the conference gift wrapped to the Lakers because you didn't want it anyways. Sad, just pathetic.
It's not like they are playing any games in the next couple of days though.
And they are playing a team that is right now only 2-3 games behind them for the #2 spot. It just doesn't make any sense to throw this game.
Yep...33-14 on the season after starting 1-4
3 les in the last six years....
the most winningest franchise in the last 10 years
oh sure.....he's a defeatist
whatever!!
You're comparing working where, a grocery store, office, mall, gym to professional basketball?Wow this isn't a joke. What a terrible move.
They are basketball players, they get paid to play basketball. If I have to work late, commute home and be up early for work the next day than that is what I do because it is my job. Duncan barely broke 40 minutes yesterday. Same with Parker.
This is one of the worst decisions coach Pop has ever made. Especially when we will likely be battling the Nuggets for playoff positioning and this game likely could cost us the tie breaker.
FYI NBATV is reporting TP/TD will play just aren't starting
LOL
What are you ing about? Why do you care if Spurs players rest a game?
Ignore him.
this makes it very easy to be glad about bynum's knee.
DrHouse,
Obviously, Popovich has his reasons.
Again, as a fan I can see why people would be upset.
But he has been able to manage his team unlike most coaches in this league.
His success has proven that!
And I understand that Manu was injured a bit last night as well.
hairston is playing great
within 6 under 3 minutes
This game says a lot about Denver. The fact the Spurs are still in this game with less than three minutes left.....yikes!!!
Oh no, schadenfreude. I never expected that from a conference rival!
surely, you did not!
I find it so ridiculous that fans of opposing teams even care about this. I could give a if Kobe sat out a game.
"everybady in this leagus is pro"-------------from NBA2K9
they are not playing too bad w/o the big 3
its only by 4 points now .
I'm just baffled honestly. This was a game the Spurs could have won easily had Duncan and Parker suited up. Instead they threw it away. Just mind boggling, especially if the Spurs miss out on a top seed by 1-2 games like last season.
So basically you're only here to talk and not be a subjective poster that can have a rational chat with the rest of us here?
Damn some of you spurs fans are to nice about Pop not playing the big 3.
no one gives a what you think.
I guess the Spurs don't give a about the regular season
