Nono anticipated your existence. But, I agree with you, too. I think pitchers should pitch on less than three days rest because there is no benefit to the human body from rest. No statistically significant evidence shows that rest is good.I can't tell if this was suppose to be written in blue font or not but I actually agree 100% with a Nono postThere's actually no statistical significance to regular season minute management which Pop does regularly versus resting players for an entire game. Players will be fresh and ready for the playoffs. It also accomplishes nothing because players who need development don't develop playing with peers that are their equal or arguably worse than they are. It's just a wasted opportunity.
I don't really give a about what the fans want to see though. The Spurs are not a well oiled machine on offense and they could use this time against stiffer compe ion (win or lose) to round into form for the playoffs. With that said, I'm sure the Spurs will be full strength against the Pelicans.Dat historic PD is in jeopardy.

i don't care about him resting Duncan or Manu on a back to back, but resting Green, Mills or Aldridge is re ed.
In January.
Holy ! Nono? I thought you were trolling at first. Did you put your glass down at the rave, and then drink out of it?
As long as he keeps starting Boban I'm good with whatever he does
Tim does look done. It's pretty sad to see him sitting on the floor while some scrub we rejected steals his cookie and dunks it at the other end. I wonder if Tim considers this season to be "wheels off".
El using outriggers to catch them two at a time.
I look back at the year we lost to Memphis in the 1st rd Pop rested Manu in game 81 but then played him in a meanless game 82 against the Suns and he blew out his arm like in the first two minutes and Manu was our best player that year,I sometimes think pop overthinks this and he's already messing with the chemistry by trying to force feed KMart into the system
Start of the year....starting line up sucks but bench is good...
Pop IDs culprit as Danny green....known party boi. Solution trade bench guy for shooter and pass first pg.
Now starters good, but Danny green still bad. Bench bad. It's like wack a mole.
Too late up fix bench. Just have to hope Manu and Boris bring it.
Probably too late to integrate Martin in while also not wrecking party boy's confidence.
It's looking like the buyouts + ginos surgery were too much stress on the bench. Not enough talent and leadership on the team anymore with Manu one foot in the grave.

Post something that can be taken one of only two ways and you give yourself and out.
That is of course known as, chicken .
You are welcome.
The bottom line is that too many teams make the playoffs and there are too many games.
The resting would be much less rampant if regular season games were more meaningful. The goal of the organization most of us root for on this site is to put ourselves in position to win an NBA championship. Pop is sold that this is the way to do it.
And we can all nit pick his actions in this area. Like we know the team better than a guy who sees them almost everyday, on and off the court. Bashing a guy who has created a championship with a defensive monster, a team dominated by post play, a well rounded team, a team that played the most beautiful passing basketball of all time, a team that currently utilizes a star from a completely different system and has a chance to eclipse the others?... Sure, he's an idiot unwilling to change his ways. Just a pig headed guy who can't adapt...
probably the fact that Bonner played for more than 10 mins triggered some long forgotten anxiety rush, violent reactions... apologies, tbh
I'm all for rest as long as it doesn't jeopardize the chance to go 41-0 at home.
That's some history making stuff and I don't want Golden State to have it for themselves.
But at some point, there should be discussions about this stuff, IMO. It's not the same to rest your top 2-3 guys vs outright resting your top 5 guys to what basically amounts forfeiting the game...
And it should be discussed and analyzed both in the context of the diminished value of entertainment and whether the scientific value of that kind of "complete games" of rest.
Then again, Pop might be done soon anyways, and I don't really see many coaches having his job's security to pull it off elsewhere, so it might be a non-issue...
Nono just wants LMA and Kawhi to get injured, so Manu can shine tbh.
In the interviews quoted with Pop he makes the claim he learned a whole lot about his bench AND about OKC.
In my readings of his quotes he put a team on the floor to test certain aspects of our guys games, but more importantly OKC. Paraphrase: The guys were asked to play the way we wanted them to play this team and we learned a whole lot. Very happy for the effort and the sacrifice. This OKC team is very explosive. We learn when we win and lose.
So sort of an apology with the claim of a bigger picture involved. May be caca but I enjoyed the watch. For those who bought tickets in OKC hoping to see our best put on the floor, recognize that in this form of entertainment the lead actors may have to sit out a few performances. There is a suggestion box in the NBA office. Check the "play fewer regular season games and cut the number of teams making the playoffs in half" box. Good luck.
He got fined a boat-load of money last time. I wonder if they'll do it again. Leaving LMA home had no rhyme or reason and the game was a forfeit. I've decided to sell my tickets to our last home game because I don't want to spend a few hundred bucks watching Mattie duking it out with Kevin Durant.
It's all about winning the championship. If GS ends the season with the best record and we win the championship, I will take that every time .
We are not going to catch GS and no one is going to catch us ,so we will be the number 2 seed. no need to go all out and risk Kawhi aggravating his injury or tire out the older guys.
That's why it's important to beat the teams you know you can beat ( Charlotte ) and be able to sacrafice OKC. for rest.
ESPN announced the day before that we were going to sit everyone so OKC is like" Damn, SA don't even sweat us "
Pop knows how to screw with people.
I don't understand the Aldridge DNP and playing Diaw who's older.
Maybe Diaw is scheduled for rest soon
All in all we are having a great season. What would be said if players started to get hurt, break down or wear out because we played them against OKC chasing Westbrook around.
That doesn't explain why you'd need to rest the big three for Monday's game in Memphis.
This type of thing has always been Pop's way of ing with the media and the NBA. He also always has some legitimate reason however he's undoubtedly getting his own agenda fulfilled since he has the leeway to do so. Pop is a real prick. I'm sure he's a nice guy IRL, but he seems to hate the NBA and the media. Odd he's made a fortune working for both.
Pop has tenure you stupid . He can do whatever he wants got.
That's what "leeway" means you stupid piece of 3rd world .Pop has tenure you stupid . He can do whatever he wants got.
Pop should rest Duncan, Manu, Tony, Kawhi, and Aldridge for the rest of the regular season, leave us at 61-21 then blast through the playoffs.
