Aldridge, Ginobili, & Leonard out vs Rockets Tomorrow!

[KDKSpurs24]

This is actually a smart decision. This is what I wanted. We would lose this anyways. So let’s not tire ourselves out and lose the winnable game against the Magic the next day. We’re avoiding 2 losses in a row by resting Aldridge to go all out and get a win against ORL before Kawhi returns. This would have been much better if we would have beat OKC though..

Remember guys.. teams have a higher chance of losing to bad teams if it’s the second night of a back to back. Especially if we’re trying hard to beat a team like Houston. Like it or not, this is the best strategy in this situation.

I dont mind it. Play the rookies

Looking forward to 30 minutes of Pau, who by the way is more banged up than the guys "rested".

Seems like Harden is playing tomorrow.

Very well then...

I’m not sure what happens if we win the Magic game, but the Jazz and Nuggets both have very winnable games, so likely we stay at 10. Not for long though!

Why is Ginobili resting? He has a total of 6 points in the last 3 games combined. Send him to Austin, not back home.

Pop saving him so he can play for the Argentina NT over the summer, tbh

Aldridge has a hurt Ankle, Gasol has a hurt ankle, Manu is old and once again Pop is over using him to save his ass. And our best player Kawhi has not played in months.

We all new when Timmy was
gone the golden years were over so get used to it. To me I am all about tanking and getting a good draft pick. To be honest Pop has even screwed that up we should have a worse record. Don’t get me wrong this team on a good night can beat anyone but we can not win a seven game serious against the good teams much less the best teams.

We we get a good draft pick trade and Pop and RC grow a pair and don’t resign and trade certain guys then we could be on the right track again

Gotta feel for Lamarcus they forgot to put ice on that sore knee . Could be why hes out.

Pop

[K...]

Fora minute i thought DB meant Dejuan Blair and i thought that would be about right that we would be signing all the undersized bigs of the recent years. But No, it's bertans. Gotta feel Bertans is a spur for life combing the worst aspects of Bonner and Splitter

Spurs by 20+ tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

Resting Aldridge was a no-brainer..they wouldn't have a chance against Houston regardless, right now..not only are the Rockets hot, but they'll give 100% against the Spurs every game following last year's historic embarrassment in game 6..

Makes much more sense to save Aldridge for Orlando..can't take anything for granted, at the moment..Orlando has stat-padders like Simmons and Vucevic who will be playing hard tomorrow..
