Timmy Out for 1.25.16 at GST

[Kawhitstorm]

or Tim is really dealing with some right knee issues and needs rest to get whole.

My guess is that if it were a playoff game, he'd play; and I suspect he'll play later in the week, too. But there's little point at this juncture in pushing him to play, particularly in a game that will be difficult to win even at full strength. Very much the same theory that supported Pop's decision to punt in Miami a few years ago in order to give his team the best chance to win the home game that followed against Memphis.

This is the KG-(let's save him some embarrassment)-DNP

[Kawhitstorm]

West stretching Bogut out should work quite well on offense. This doesn't change my interest in the game. I still think we can win.

Tim's health is my only concern.

I actually wanted D-West to play as much as possible in this matchup b/c there are no postup player that will expose him on defense.

Bonner dropped 25/17 last time he started at the Oracle: http://www.basketball-reference.com/...712110GSW.html

Holy det worriers core

[Spurtacular]

Small sample size; but Bonner is shooting .50 3FG this season.

[DeRozan m8]

West will start

And slap that team

[wingster]

This will just make the win that much better.

I suspect they would destroy him in PnR like they did Love and would attack him every time. Tim wasn't looking right against the Lakers either. It is strategic as much as also saving Tim's knee.

Haven't we rested these guys plenty against the Dubs previous seasons though? They key men are Kawhi, Tony, Boris, Manu, some 3s and nice defense from Danny would be welcomed, LMA having a good game. We can still win this game.

[timtonymanu]

We're not beating them without Timmy. Might as well rest Manu too.

I love Timmy but the Dubs are a terrible matchup for him and right now, he looks really slow.

There wasn't much at stake unlike this season though

I can't take anything you say serious. Sanders?

If he was going to play it would have been when Livingston is running the point along w/ the Speights/Ezeli frontline.

[AFMadison]

I like West playing this game. Hopefully he will throw some powder on his hand and slap Draymond across the jaw if he gets to jolly.

[ffadicted]

Classic Pop lol I'd be more surprised if everyone DID play

[Fireball]

that sucks big time ...

You made me laugh Madison.
I had a mental picture of this!

[Spurs 4 The Win]

LMAO at anyone who thinks this is a real injury, this is CIA Pop 100%, he knows we live rent free in the Warriors head, no need to give them blind confidence against us by beating our full healthy squad

[gambit1990]

Pop just opened the pressure valve tbh.

[dabom]

Pop used to regularly rest guys at the warriettes home. Pop still playing mind games with them and reminding/giving his players confidence.

[dabom]

Does Boban Start?

[Galileo]

This is a devilish conspiracy!

[benefactor]

I think most of know in the back of our minds that though the players will be excited and play hard, Pop is likely going to tinker a bit and not show all his cards. He'll see the Dubs three more times. This is just the first chance to gauge some match ups and see where an advantage might lie.

[BillMc]

Does Boban Start?

Nope. Not mobile enough against the Dubs. West will start.

Maybe.
