Pop and his weird choices sometimes -_-
A professional team getting beat down by 40+. It seems like I'm watching a bunch of junior high school es.
Pop and his weird choices sometimes -_-
wrong, look at them right now. blowing defense rotations, throwing half assed passes/shots. Their spirits are broken and all the good gains and confidence made these last 11 games has been shattered. Sorry, but you play Tim and Tony each 20 minutes tonight and this could have been a win.
How stupid are you? These are NBA players. No reason Tony couldn't have played. You wanna rest Tim and baby him, go ahead. No excuse for sitting Tony out. Again all star break is already around the corner. We were on a roll. Wrong time do do some like this. Pop is an idiot.
None of these rests have amounted to in the playoffs since what, the year 2008? I'm not the one that sounds stupid here. These gimmicks you defend have done NOTHING for us in the playoffs in at least 3 years.
the spurs are still winning 50 games i don't know what you are ing about.
Pop believes he can half-ass his way to another le; senile ol' .
lol i'd rest em against Denver too, tbh.
50 games don't mean when you get bounced in the first round by the 8th seed or getting swept by the Suns.
About a stubborn coach.
We also don't get out of winning a bunch of games in the regular season and getting the 1 seed...we fizzle out in the first round because we're tired...see Memphis
The Blazer starters put in about 20 minutes of good work tonight and sealed the game. The game was over after the first quarter.
Essentially, Pop helped two teams out tonight. The Spurs lost and rested, and the Blazers won and rested.
This is embarrassing. This is the biggest bush league thing I've ever seen. This is disgusting. I don't see why this even had to happen. When you talk about the Spurs your talking about excellence, les, and winning. This is an embarrassment to the Holt family and the fans of San Antonio.
The all-star break would have broken the team's momentum anyways. Parker has been having to carry this team all season and Duncan is old as . LOL @ you calling it babying Duncan, as if the guy should be playing 40 minutes a night because you're a spoiled fan.
What am I supposed to say? "Fire Popovich immediately for this dumb, stupid ing debacle approach to an easily winnable game"? I simply meant that someone who has won four les has got to have some legitimate reason for letting something like tonight's loss happen. What it is I'll never know however.
I still do not see how sitting out this game. A game in the last week of February of a compressed schedule is going to be deciding factor in winning a championship (this year, or any year for that matter).
Stop giving Pop credit from being a senile ol' .
Each time Pop tried this last season, someone got injured the next game.
Just one game its not the end of the world...sorry the spurs didn't win...winning means so much to you bro....of course the throwing passes around/blowing defense rotations/ducan/parker/manu/splitter in the line-up...what do you expect..for the backups to blow away the blazers?can't win every game and you can't play perfect/sometimes a team is going to struggle...yes even when you don't have your starters out there...but this lose is not going to shatter there dreams....sometimes you have to lose like this to play even harder the next game...spurs will bounce back...
LOL, playing Duncan 20 minutes wouldn't have done . With no Splitter they'd need him at 40 again to have any shot at a win. Might as well just take the rest instead of risking injury playing him all game for a third time in a row.
If the break is going to break momentum anyways, then why the do you sacrifice a game on top of it?
Wouldn't you rather be +1 in the win column before going into the break and losing momentum?
So if Tim and tony played 30 minutes tonight they will be tired for the playoffs? Say that out loud a few times and realize how stupid it sounds. these are freaking professional athletes, not some out of shape weekend warriors. what happens in the playoffs and the starting 5 is expected to play 35-40 minutes? Will they collapse and die?
Kind of like last year when we rested the big 3 the second last game of the season. Tell me again. How did that rest help with preventing the risk of injury afterwards?
Should have rested them the last game too, since it was meaningless.

Apparently Pop thinks that if he can get away with playing his starters 81 games, instead of 82, it will be the decisive factor in winning the championship.
I don't know if you guys noticed or not, but last time the NBA held a condensed season, a #8 seed made it to the NBA Finals.
If the Spurs finished the season at 17-17, that would still give them a 40-26 record, good for a 60% win rate, which would put them in 4th- good enough for home advantage in the first round (as for later rounds... some good having the top seed in the west did us last year!).
Has a team won a le in a year Pop rested his stars? Maybe it's out of context but it happened in both 2007 and 2005 where one, two are all members of the big 3 sat out the same game. Healthy scratch or not.

Seriously. What's the big deal. It's a mid season game in which Pop chose to rest Parker and Duncan on the eve of a tough schedule. We had several close games, and a few overtime games that proved quite taxing. games in which Duncan played 41 and 37 minutes, and Parker played 37+ minutes in 7 games in Feb.
Honestly. Chill out. We're playing well. It sucks we had to throw one out against Portland, but seeing as how many of us were ready to throw this season under the bus after the Manu injury, I'd say an 11-1 run before the all star break is a good thing.
The Spurs don't need a win streak to validate their season. They need a great playoff run.
