    Exactly. Look at Tim's minutes in his young days as well.

Timmy is 38, Manu 36, Parker now well over 30 is clearly fatigued this season. Green has regressed, Splitter is Splitter. The Spurs need an actual rim defender for Tim to play with, one who can also finish. Or the Spurs need another long athletic defender with some athleticism. IMO if they don't get one of those you can kiss them goodbye in the 2nd RD.
    Pop always throws Bonner out there when he goes full panic mode and we are getting thrashed by teams, he expects us stretching the floor on offense is going to somehow save the day. What he fails to see is that the defense is the one that's in trouble. Granted we need length and an athletic big who contests shots and can rebound and who can maybe finish within 8 feet of the basket consistently. Problem is we are way too far into the season to pick anyone up on a trade and for them to see any significant minutes.

    that was my point. That this regular season game in december means much more to Houston than it does to SA.

    I'd be concerned if this game happened post-rodeo road trip.

    Trufe bomb: the Rockets are the 90s Spurs, and we are now the 90s Rockets. SA beat Houston 4 times in the regular season the year they cleaned our clocks in the WCFs.

    We live and die by Parker, and right now he is not playing team basketball, so we will continue to lose to good teams until he figures his out. You could see how pissed Pop was at Parker last night.

    Parker's problem is that he thinks dribbling beats passing.

    We just need to come to terms with the truth: Spurs do NOT have as talented star players as the rest of the top 5 teams in the league. This means if the team isn't playing together and one or two players are "taking a night off" (by standing still, instead of motion offense, or not passing when they touch the ball), we will lose....and you play like that against a top team and you will lose big.

    Parker believes and to a certain degree Pop believes that Parker needs to be scoring like last year. Parker has been slumping all season, no rhythm or just flat from fatigue so he's trying to shoot himself out of the slump and
    defensively he's really dragging ass not to expend energy.

    I still contend Parker was not hurt in the Finals. He faked it to enhance/protect his legacy. However, I will play along...

    The fact is, Parker has A LOT OF MILEAGE. Many years in the league. International ball. Extended playoff runs. He is old for his age. It is only a matter of time before he gets hurt, loses a step, or both. If it hasn't already happened...

    I don't think he's injured, just exhausted and slumping and in his mind he's thinking just keep shooting they'll start to fall. Point Guards will always show the most wear and tear.

    Yes and the guy is gassed. He's not 29 any more. ("I'm 29-years old Pop.")

    They're 24, 21, and 25 respectfully. 40 minutes on x-mas won't come back to haunt them come April-May.

    Losses to Houston at home could hurt big time in end of the season tie breakers. McHale knows winning against the Spurs in the regular season is more important than beating a scrub team. Pop knows this too. He's not afraid of the warriors, but he wanted a win against the Thunder for seeding purposes down the road.
