Yeah this was a bad idea because it destroyed any possible trades.
And to think Chumpdumper gave me for not remembering some scrub's name that plays for the bucks. Pop can't even remember the names of his own players he sees every day!
Go Cory Alexander!
in' dumbass.

The game didn't destroy anything. Everybody knows this team doesn't have any tradeable assets.
Or in other words, he's long been one of the only "practioners" of the "maneuver". Other coaches can only look on in awe and amazement at the results year after year.Popovich has long been the league’s most devoted prac ioner of this maneuver, selecting certain games to sit out his key players and keep them fresh for later in the season.
GSH in full damage control modeYou guys are so negative. You would think nothing good happened tonight.
The Spurs had more offensive rebounds than the Blazers.
The Spurs got to the FT line 32 times, compared to only 24 for the Blazers.
The Blazers only outscored us 52-36 in the paint, compared to 56-30 by the Jazz.
Our top scorer outscored theirs.
Our top rebounder tied theirs.
We had one player with 5 steals. Their whole team got 5 steals.
We had 6 players in double figures vs. 5 last night
We shot almost as good from the 3P line as we did last night. (8-20 vs. 10-21)
I think some of you just need to stop and smell the roses.
Okay... seriously. The Spurs were playing without their FOUR best players. What did you think was going to happen? Imagine OKC playing without Durant, Westbrook, Harden, and Ibaka. Or Miami playing without LeBron, Bosh, Wade, and Chalmers. Or, if you really want to have some fun, picture the Clippers without Blake Griffin, Chris Paul, Caron Butler, and Mo Williams. Those would be some ugly-ass lineups.
You may not agree with Pop's decision to let a game go, in favor of getting some rest. But don't be so twisted about the outcome of the contest. It was never supposed to be a contest. And on top of everything else, the Blazers were coming off a humiliating night, and hitting everything.
Pop rested the guys he wanted to, gave Anderson and Dawson good looks, and made absolutely certain the loss didn't make any kind of statement. This was the Blazers last game before the ASB - it won't even give them any momentum by the time the break is over.
Smile.
You remember every instance of your shame, don't you?
TJ in full mode.
Thanks for posting GSH.
I didn't get to see the game. Knew some interesting developments would happen.
Agreed...seems like positives can be taken from this game.
Thought he was in mode all the time, he's got a couple of butt buddies now though, like that Kewni dumbass, so he must feel the he's spewing makes a bit more sense I guess
I agree with you on this one, buddy. You've shown some real basketball knowledge hereYou guys are so negative. You would think nothing good happened tonight.

TJ - there's no damage control mode, because there's no damage. The first part of that post was a joke. Nobody cares of we had more offensive boards, or Kawhi got as many steals as the Blazer's team. I seriously hoped that maybe a couple of the meltdowns would figure out how ridiculous it was. Silly of me, I know.
There were people in the game thread last night calling for Spurs' players to hurt a Blazer player. Why... because our subs couldn't keep up with their starters? And people calling for Pop to be fined $100K, because he chose to rest two players? Really? I guess if Pop had played everyone last night, and lost by 2 points, there would be people calling for his resignation for keeping Bonner in too long. He's in charge of the team - he gets to make decisions like that.
The meltdowns are ridiculous. But damn, dude, you're actually angry at anyone who isn't as angry as you are.
