Why SA Shouldn't Play Miami on Sunday

[Obstructed_View]

This stupid ass saying has gotten old.There is a 2 year age difference and neither one has won since 2010.

Since Duncan was a role player on none of his le teams, it doesn't mean anyway.

[HarlemHeat37]

Calling it here..Lebron or Wade will sit the game..

To be fair, you can argue Kobe was not the best player on the 2000 championship team, and probably also the 2001 team, but NOT that he was a "role player."

In those years, Kobe was an all-star, a top player in the league playing with the most dominant player in the league in the front court. He was closer to a pippen than a jordan on those teams. A close and important second.

like a wade is second to Lebron 90% of the time (although Wade is probably closer still, and is a former alpha.).

As to the actual topic of the thread, yea right. Absolutely no reason to throw this game, with home court implications both for the wcf and the finals, to "avoid game tape."

Giving them playing time/tape against starters in a week where there are four games in five nights doesn't seem like the best idea. If this were a team with younger stars its ludicrous I understand but this team is going to live and die by its legs. Run Memphis out of the gym the next game, Orlando w/ starters should be fine, and you've still got a 50/50 shot against OKC.

If I were Pop, my mindset would be focused on locking up the 2 seed and seeing how this week plays out. If we win Friday, he might want to think about making OKC on Thursday the real game of the week. Winning that game is way more important than some meaningless exhibition against Miami that in the big scheme of things is only 1 game on the schedule. I guess it really boils down to how much Pop wants the 1 seed.

Uhhhh, DejuanonwhatDudette, I hate to tell you this but, the Spurs and their fans are not afraid of any team, including the two (2) teams that have you shaking in your rubber thongs, i.e., the Heat & the Lakers. If Pop rests anyone it will be because of some physical problem (sprained ankle, sore knees, hyper-extended finger, etc.) and not because he wants the 2 seed to avoid the Lakers or doesn't want the Heat to know how our guys play. Dudette, every organization in the NBA has scouts who go over every game film they want/need to, so as to see what players like to do on the court. Having said that, we know 'exactly' what Lebron and DWade like to do as we also know what Kobe and DHoward like to do. Ditto for those teams knowing wehat Tony and Timmy like to do. This goes for every player on each team as well as how the coaches coach. You either bring it nightly or you get your ass kicked bigtime in the playoffs.

Try to 'MAN' up and stop fearing your shadow. Become a Dude and let your Dudette ways flutter out the window.

No way anybody rests since the game is IN SA.

[Sean Cagney]

Here's one, Obst:::

Kobe: 5

the tired old bag Duncan: 4

Measure that, mother er.

Someone ban this clown already with his tired old .


BTW why are you going to rest guys when we are only two games ahead of OKC? Yeah thats damn smart go lose a game on purpose.

Pop should send the Big 3 plus Green to Miami.

I'm fixing to FEDEX that pigeon feed for yea cubby.

Lmao!!!!!!!!!!!!

Meh, I'd give it 4.5/10. The old hits just don't sound the same.

[wut]

My prediction: Miami decides to sit THEIR stars. Miami tried to break the streak record, that is done....and they have a HUGE lead the 1st spot, even highly probable for 1st overall. Miami's coach is full of himself and will think sitting Wade and Lebron in San Antonio is payback to Pop/Spurs.

Pop was fined because he didn't even bring his stars to the game...Miami will bring their stars but they won't suit up.

EDIT: HarlemHeat37 beat me to this prediction, but I'm sticking with it.

To be fair, if Duncan is a tired old bag, then Kobe was a role player on all of his le teams. A chucker who scores a bunch of points at non-critical times is a role.

That would be great, easy win and we need that right now so I would take it. I seriously doubt it though.

How is the 8 seed looking? we'll toobusy being #1.

+1.

Just 4 months late. That would be awesome. The Angel of Stern would have a meltdown.

[Kidd K]

I think it's irrelevant to worry about the Finals now, don't forget 2011. Pop wanted to try and lock up the #1 seed by playing hard against the Suns the last game of the season to try and get HCA over the Bulls should they both get to the Finals, and look what happened. Ginobili, our best player that year imo, breaks his in elbow and screws us into a first round loss.

I think we shouldn't worry about what could potentially happen in the Finals until we get there. No more overlooking teams and rounds. Nothing's guaranteed. If we can beat the Heat now, we should. They're gonna have "tape" on us after game 1 of the Finals should we get there anyway. It's more important to not throw away mid season games so we don't give the Thunder any more light of day at that #1 seed. Having HCA on OKC for an entire series is more important than depriving Miami of a little extra game tape to study for just game 1 of the Finals imo.

Doesn't sound like Pop plans on resting anyone.

why is the end of the regular season the final exam? shouldn't the playoffs be the final exams?

Nope - Regular Season = School; Playoffs = Job.

Man, you're still spamming that ? lol Let it go bro, let it go...

It was funny for a while because of all the panties you would ruffle, but now it's lame and getting kind of weird.

Dude has no life it appears and just spews the same tired all day long, like he is stuck in a thinking rut and posts the same daily.

This is the truth.

Seriously. I'm hardly on here and those same quotes are all I see everywhere, and spanning over literally hours. You gotta wonder what went wrong in peoples' lives sometimes.

Manu-Hamstring
TP-Ankle, finger, neck
TD-Just had a huge game and exerted a lot of energy

Okc also just lost.

I say SA should rest their stars after seeing today's game.
