I gotta go, but when I come back, I better not catch you riding Pop's nuts still or else I'm gonna keep piling it on your D-League scouting ass.
Why would you lie about something like that?![]()

Why am I so important to you?
You're doing a fine job of piling it on, imo.

Yeah, when Dumper enters a thread, you know its time to leave
You've been here for over two hours.
pop just took kawahi out of the rising star challenge..
When did watching basketball games all of a sudden make someone a "no-life loser?"
That pv$$y! No all the other rookies/sop res will have a mental edge over him!
So Pop's going to lead the Spurs to 2 more rings after Timmy is gone...cool!
Try again head.
Kawhi was pulled because of a strained calf. When Timmy and Tony sat out they were not injured.
See the difference now?![]()
I see that you have a strange fetish for s.
Are you still ing talking Caeman?

That 2003 mavs game the spurs had already clinched the #1 seed in the playoffs so it hardly mattered.
The 2005 suns game Duncan and Ginobili we're both injured .. not sure how that is relevant to this discussion at all..

The 2007 nuggets game both teams rested their main 3+ players and also the playoff matchup was already set in stone.PHOENIX (AP) -- Despite getting a coveted win that kept the San Antonio Spurs from sweeping them this season, the Phoenix Suns aren't likely to get overconfident if the teams meet in the playoffs.
Amare Stoudemire scored 44 points to lead the Suns to a 107-101 victory against the Spurs,who were playing without injured All-Stars Tim Duncan (ankle) and Manu Ginobili (groin).
All these past examples you gave us actually unwittingly support the opposing theory IMO, which is that Pop has gotten soft. Back in those championship years when he was actually a tough ass SOB coach he only rested guys when it was absolutely necessary or completely irrelevant in the standings or seedings to do so. Not so much nowadays. Sometime around 2008 (when coincidentally Bonner arrived) Pop turned soft, and his teams have followed suit ever since.
No, they don't support the opposing theory.

If Pop was successful in the past, in regards to resting players, why question when he does so present day? Unless you have a moronic, hate-filled agenda, surely you should be able to comprehend the reason why a coach would want to rest his 35 year old star with a chronically bad knee in a short, compressed, season? Not to mention the heavy minutes Duncan and Parker have been playing recently. Does it really take a genius to figure out that you want to give as much rest as possible to your older veteran stars, so you can have them fresh and energized for the playoffs? Tell me your hate for Pop is really the reason you come off like a on here and that you really do have some sort of sense.
That's the truth. I remember this guy used to dictate how each game was played. Pop would force the opposing coach to play on his terms.
Somewhere along the way it changed for the worse.
Not really. I'm just amazed you can keep up this level of re ed for so long.
Yup, Pop never tries to create matchup problems for other teams anymore, he just likes to snooze through most of the games on cruise control, playing Simon says with the opposing coach.
Yes, really. You have the power to stay out of here. However, you won't; you can't. You'll be back because...
