coasting, imo.... tho I like Pop giving him some rest
Do you guys think Boris is a lock to receive heavy playoff minutes, or is there a real possibility that he loses more minutes than we had expected to West and Anderson(and some other small-ball lineups)?
Of course there's a strong chance that he's just coasting/bored, but he's 33 years old and has a history with weight problems..it's far from a given that he's going to turn it on, tbh..

I trust playoff Boris over Fathead tbh.
I've lost some faith in him.
he'll lose some minutes to west, but not anderson
we're going to need him to be good. we're going to need parker to be good. the fact is, we cant trust either right now, and that's why GSW is favored and not us. this squad isn't perfect and isn't the best in the league, but they can win if things go right
He's lost minutes to west already, but hes still going to get serious mintues in the playoffs. He's role is probably not as big anymore as the 14 run or the playoffs. The logical thing to do is to just play things by ears and see who is playing better in a game to game basis. If west is playing better, hes the third big.
I dont think anderson will get that much playing time at the 4. Probably nonexistant. Hes coasting imo.
is really starting to piss me off.
On the plus side though...Captain West is playing decent.
He's looked as gassed as Parker at times tbh. Both should be shut down after the Dubs game for a few weeks.
Same, but do you think it's a lock that he has the same type of role he had in past playoffs?
They don't need Parker to play well to beat the Dubs as long as Manu plays well and Pop doesn't refuse to sit him.
I do. Doubt Fathead gets any real minutes past the 1st round. Plus benching Bobo is pretty much throwing in the white flag against the Dubs as he's one of our most important players against them IMO.
Not a given 38.5 y/o Ginobili can still bail out Tony like years past, tbh... would be nice for Tony to get some rest and get those afterburners going
In our 13-14 run he was like a Draymond Green. I feel much more comfortable with him in form than anyone not named Kawhi Leonard.
It isn't, which is why the Spurs will be an underdog. If they can get 3rd quarter Manu tonight for 25 mins a game, they'll have a great chance.
I think he's a must if we want to have a chance against GS but I don't know anymore.
That's a lock for a 'ship brah.
Not this year unfortunately
Dr. Jekelnobili and motivated Boris secure our championship because the Warriors biggest weakness is their bench.
It's past the point of trust now. He could well get cut next year at the rate he's going.
I expect him to be in the rotation ahead of Anderson. Right now, I think Pop just wants to give him a kick in the ass and get Anderson as much experience as possible. As far as the minutes, they were always going to down, with Aldridge and West on board, but whether he's the third or fourth big will depend on his and West's level of play from here on out.
It's clear, at this point, that only Leonard and Aldridge are guaranteed significant minutes and closing close games. Every one else, it depends on who's playing well/who's not in the particular game and the match-ups.
Yep, and it's very strange to see
And ya, I agree with your first point..seeing him on the floor in garbage time was
It is. It was so weird to see them going down the stretch, on Saturday, in a close game against an elite team, with no big three and Leonard essentially playing point guard.Yep, and it's very strange to see
And ya, I agree with your first point..seeing him on the floor in garbage time was
To be fair, even when he was crucial, he still inexplicably played many a garbage time and because the league inexplicably doesn't allow all players to be active, everyone has to have a rotation player play garbage time.
Don't think that it is a reasonable expectation. Manu has never been the model of consistency, and he is becoming more inconsistent. But at 38, he isn't going to play 25 minutes every game - especially not consistently at the level he showed tonight. I wish he could.
Against the Dubs he very well may have to with Parker unable to be hidden on defense and his offense no longer good enough to justify what he'll give up on D. Then again, that may be where Miller comes in.
