Tim Duncan Sitting Tonight at Sacramento

[50 cent]

Spurs don't need TD to beat the worst team in the NBA.

Oops.

well, assuming we probably won't catch denver for the 2nd spot (which means no HCA in 2nd round):

we're talking about fighting for the HCA in the first round, where it will need a seventh game for this HCA to be useful. The odds to have a 7th game in this first serie is about 25 %.

does it worth battling to have this ?

i say rest TP tomorrow against GSW and do whatever we need to be ready for the PO.

Exactly. Houston and Portland are not going to be caught by the Spurs even if the Spurs go 3-0. And even the #3 seed is on the road for Round 2.

So why put up a big injury risk when we aren't winning squat with an unrested Duncan and Parker anyways? Beat the Kings, more or less secure #4 and rest.

Here's hoping Pop won't get owned by Sactowns interim coach.

the spurs will lose both games.

"We're just trying to be smart about it and do things the right way."

I'm mystified by this approach. The only reason the Spurs won't fall to the 8 seed is because there isn't enough time left.

What I meant to say is, "Great work Pop!"

good decision. Try to win tonight without him and then play him tomorrow against the better warriors.
