    Can Pop just leave everyone home and call up the Austin Toros to play the last 2 games?

    The critics are gonna come after Pop if we win tonight and then he sits his Big 3 against PHX who is in a battle for the last playoff spot. Would like for Pop to give a big EFF YOU to the league at that point for making us finish out this ridiculous schedule the last 5 days of the regular season.

    Win tonight and dump the last two games. We could face PHX in the first round instead of Utah. It's a win-win.

    Not that I'm all that worried about the Jazz in the playoffs.

    Heh...the last two games are on national TV, too. Pop could stick it to the national media twice!

    I dont see why they come after him. It is the absolute right thing to do.

    Suns control their own fate and Spurs will have little to do with it. They play the Jazz tomorrow. If Suns lose that one they're gone.

    Also Jazz have to win their lat 2 remaining games while Suns only have to win one more.

    That would be so awesome! Especially with PHX still in the running for the last playoff spot, and we tank on purpose.

    I wonder why though, with our very scarce National TV games throughout the season, would the league want our final 2 games against inferior opponents (I know the TV schedules are made at the beginning of the season, but the last few seasons have seen the Suns and Warriors sucking pretty badly). Were they planning on these last 2 games being the end of the Tim Duncan era or our Championship run, and they wanted all the country to see it? Hmmm....

    in the Portland game he sat the big 3 + Bonner and Neal

    IMO against GSW and PHX he should sit Duncan, Parker, Ginobili for both, Jack/Splitter for one and Bonner/Diaw for the other

    maybe Green too even though his shoulder looks better

    dgaf, just get all these guys to the playoffs in one piece.

    If we win tonight, no need to risk injury on the last two.

    Yep, sit all the Big 3 the last couple games. Don't even make the trip. Let the media cry about it.

    Not to mention, we already gifted the Jazz a game by sitting out the Big-3 on April 9th... we'd only be extending the same courtesy to Phoenix....

    We win tonight, I want the big 3 to rest and no starters to play more than a quarter and a half or so of the last 2.

    We're not repeating last year's little incident.

    If we block PHX again, Nash is gonna cry.

    We owe nothing to PHX, they eliminated us on our own floor a couple years ago.

    I doubt it. Sitting your players after you've clinched HCA makes sense. (Just like in the NFL, when a team clinches home field early enough, they often coast through the last couple of games, even if their opponent is in the playoff chase.)

    But sitting your players when you haven't clinched anything yet ... now THAT is worthy of criticism.

    I think Pop will play TD tonight, then sit him til Sat, game 1.

    He will sit Manu tonight, then probably play him against Phoenix, and sit him at GS.

    Parker will play all 3 games, I think.
