We have never sent Tim home early before
Duncan is more valuable vs. the Thunder and Clippers, tbh..this doesn't mean much for the Warriors games..

This is true
I think Pop hates long winning streaks ever since blowing four straight to OKC in 2012 after 20 wins in a row.
west and boban to bring the nasty
This isn't about "Pop not wanting to show his cards" or "Pop not wanting to give them a mental edge" or Duncan "not being necessary vs the Warriors". Something is clearly not right. He hasn't looked himself for a while now and it's past the point where it can be said that the primary reason for it, is his "role changing" or him "taking it easy".
Soreness might actually be worse than a (relatively minor) injury, because in his case, it's probably mileage related, as opposed something specific having happened. I wouldn't be surprised to see him shut down for a few weeks soon, but it's fair to wonder if this is going to linger through the remainder of the season.
"Hey Tim, you want to stick around for a few days in San Francisco so you can watch the game behind the bench in a suit? I know the knee is sore, but that's nothing a few days in the Bay away from our facility and two hours sitting in the bleachers will make worse."
He has had two bad games in a row, besides that, he had been playing just fine, look at the stats, you are overreacting. He probably was a little sore, because he has tendonitis, and Pop said, this game really isnt important in the grand scheme, no need to risk an injury, lets send you home for an extended rest and get you ready for the next game.
If it was anything serious do you really think Pop would have played him against the Lakers?
People are suddenly cliffjumping, dont understand it lol
We knew his averages would decline, but the vast majority of his metrics have been steadily declining for weeks, too.
I think they've thought for a while now that it's typical soreness and they'll rest him here and there and it'll be fine, but I think they're getting to the point where they're starting to realize it's not getting better, which is why he'll probably be shut down for a few weeks soon.
If that happens then you will be right, until then, you are just making a wild guess and seeming like a cliffjumper
If he's out for more than this game it's a real issue. In the meantime let's speculate.
I hope TD is OK. When he missed games early in the season with that sore knee, Elliott said TD was really hurt
This is so they don't fine the organization again on a highly anticipated game. Nothing to see here...
Won't we need Duncan for rebound if we up by three and Warriors are going for tie in the waning moments of the game?
you know we still have lamarcus, right?
Duh! Yes the Spurs need Duncan!
But not LMA and Duncan you dope.
LMA/West combo is normal-sized combo for PF/C. and warriors like to play small anyways.
I don't give a what you say girl. Duncan is the second best defender in the league behind Kawhi. He will be missed. You can bet on that.
The Spurs can win this game if the rest of the team can bring their A GAME!!
Bummer!
west would work much better as a starter than boban tbh.
But its cool that we'll see boban play
Imagine they announce LMA out again with back spasms.
