Wouldn't get past the first round without him...hence the decision to play him in games that actually matter...
Might as well sit him through 3 rounds of the playoffs too. We'll just dust him off in the Finals.

Worst case scenario he'll need a week to heal and may miss the first two games, then you figure he will need a third game to redevelop some rhythm. Hopefully the Spurs can take care of bidness without him at home during the first two games.
If it was a meaningless game you might have a point. Its not a meaningless game. Somehow you think the chances of meeting the best team in the East are low but the chances of a player getting hurt in any given game are high. Like I said, you're ing re ed.

Positive spin on the Manu news: At least he's left handed.
Manu Ginobili has a hyperextended right elbow. X-rays are negative. He will be re-examined Thursday in San Antonio.
The fact of the matter was it wasn't NECESSARY to play any of the big 3 this game, especially after sitting them last night.
Obviously, things change in the playoffs. You simply sound more idiotic each time you throw out that weak ing argument...
Tonight matters
comparing the last meaningless game of the regular season to any playoff game.
No, it doesn't, if last night didn't.
It isn't necessary to play them in a lot of games. They could have played them just enough to get into the playoffs then rest them the rest of the season. But you play for things. They had something to play for tonight.
Jesus Christ is not a moron. He died on the cross to save you from your sins.
So the best case scenario for you tonight was that the Suns were just going to lay down to the Spurs scrubs and that SA got a coin flip with Chicago?
No that's totally worth risking injury. You're not a ing idiot at all.
LOTS OF PAIN! HOLY F IN SHYT, MRI negative is good but that sounds bad.
If it's about rust and getting ready, resting the starters against the Lakers and then utilizing them the next night against a lottery-bound team is a fearful, punk move.
So what was this latest genius piece of micro-management about then?
Pop's too clever by half.
I never said last night didn't matter. I think Pop should have played them last night and tonight. Pop was stupid for throwing away a game last night.
Why? They had nothing to play for last night.
If tonight matters, last night didn't matter?
It mattered as much as last night...which means it doesn't matter.
Rest + health > overall #1 seed
The chance to win a coin flip on the off chance the Bulls make it to the Finals was not worth the injury risk...the bang to hype ratio on this game "mattering" is way out of wack...unfortunately for us, this game "matters" now for all the wrong reasons since it pretty much kills our chances going forward.
And this I agree with... it's the inconsistency and trying to be a smartass that bite him in the ass...
You act as if playing in an NBA game is like running across I10 blindfolded. The chances of injury in any given game are low. It was easily worth the risk.
Wow.
No.
I think he plays stupid mind games and I've always said as much. Idiots in this thread like Mugen are the ones labeling me some type of Pop homer simply because I think there is something to play for tonight and that injuries can happen at any given time.
Why not just rest your starters after you clinch a playoff spot?
You guys sound like a broken record. It happened, now the Spurs have to deal with it. Stop crying about it. We'll see how serious it is Thuday.
