not at the risk of playing a player that isn't healthy, however I wouldn't just throw a game away (as Pop has been known to do) either. It is the only record I can see the Spurs caring about besides number of championships.
I doubt it matters much to Pop. I bet at least a few players really want it, my guess is that Green and Aldridge care the most while Duncan and Diaw care the least (cause Diaw doesn't seem to care much about anything).
As a fan, how much do you care about 41-0? Enough to hypothetically play a guy like Kawhi or Aldridge even if they're only at 80%?

Most important thing now that the Big Three got the record for most wins as a trio.
Would it make a difference if the warriors went undefeated too?
I want it bad... But I doubt coach Pop goes for it.
We tapping that though.
I would honestly go for it..Pop should have his scheduled rest games on the road, tbh..let's just at least prevent the Warriors from hogging all records this season..
they may lose their first home game in the PO if they go for that... and start an 05 like run :P
If... if... IF it gets to that point, I say that Pop throws that last home game against OKC just to mess up the record.
This is the same guy that completely messed up Bowen's streak.
I don't want to risk injury to get it but I would like to see the Spurs go undefeated at home. Would really like the Spurs to get the record for consecutive home wins if GS drops a home game this season.
I'm pulling for 41-0 and no B2B losses. Neither feat has ever been accomplished, and both the Spurs and Warriors have made it this far.
But I wouldn't play a player at 80% health to do it.
OKC won't have anything to play for either and I like our scrubs better than theirs.
Who gives a about home record? None of it will matter if the Spurs don't ring.
1 Championship
2 Health
3. 41-0 If this will help them focus, fine. No more nights off like the Charlotte snoozefest after the 1st qtr. Put in the hungry guys if any of the starters start to snooze.
Boban, Simmons, Anderson.
yea if we both do it, it will be top of Sportscenter Dubs go undefeated during the regular season with a little asterisk at the bottom with small print saying by the way the Spurs did it too. Which is fine because when the Spurs steal game one of WCF and take out the Dubs (in 6 games) it will be all the sweeter even though their regular season record will still be ongoing.Since we won in their house last season and they haven't won in SA since that playoff series 3 years ago.
It'd be nice, but important is not the word I'd use for it.
Not important without a Championship.
If the Spurs were to win thewhile going 41-0 at home, then people can say they truly dominated that season.
This^^^ The ring is the thing but this would be a nice cherry on top.
No, he didn't. Chris got Paul messed that up with his flopping pussy . Pop didn't bench Bowen for Udoka until the next year.
You're 100% right. I completely forgot about Chrissy. I would like to hereby retract my previous statement regarding Bruce Bowen and his streak.
Not as important as being 100% healthy and rested for the playoffs. Especially the older players!
They can have all the records as long as the Spurs beat them in the WCF. That would be better than any record.
Being a footnote in the history books is just as good as an LOB, any day.
Yep. This is why I will forever and ever hate Chris Paul and Wake Forest to the bones, and the Clippers as well until he is gone/retired.
