play manu and duncan at max 20 mins each
Play TD and Manu in the first half, and hope we could bury them early. Sit them in the 2nd half. But the nets have a complete line up right now, it would be a game that's tougher than expected.
I'd go with the usual starting lineup and if the Spurs start blowing the Nets out then put the starters on the bench. The Nets stuck with the Spurs for most of the game in the first one, they can't take them for granted based on their record.
No one rests! that! The Nets are one win away from not tying the '73 76ers for worst regular season record in NBA history. I don't want the Spurs to be the team they do it against.

I know it's your calling card, but even after the question mark in the thread le?..
Timothy Theodore Duncan should most definitely sit out tomorrow. The guy is hurt and just needs a rest in general. I hate to admit it even though we're winning, it sucks watching Tim out on the floor looking like some average nobody and I enjoy the game less. Let's give the guy a rest so he can come back and play his game like we know he can.
Timmy looked a lot better tonight than he has in a couple of weeks. He looked a of a lot better than Garnett. He shouldn't sit out of any more games this year. Limit his minutes sure, but don't let him rust.
I don't know it could be good to sit Duncan.He's out and we need him.Imo his health is not going to improve a lot if he doesn't play tomorrow.Instead he could recover his confidence with a good game.
No Manu,No Tim,No Tony........Are we enough good to win without the big3?? I'm not sure.If I were Pop then Manu and Tim would play.
They'd best take advantage of the fact that the other team is the Nets and put them down early then.
i don't mind seeing timmy as a DNP and play manu limited (hopefully just first half minutes)
we all know that we are capable of losing to the nets, it's our luck they'll come out and harris drops 45
crush their spirits early, then rest the guys
All of sudden most fans feel so confident and even y.
Let us lose to the Nets and there will be synchronic jumping off the cliff championships in here
We cannot rest anyone, maybe Duncan, because he is a non factor as of late so not really much to loose there but a lot to win if he recovers.
If we can limit Manu´s minutes would be a plus. But start the best you can.
Nobody. The Spurs blew way too many winnable games early in the season to take any off now. Take no opponent for granted. Look at the standings. A win solidifies their hold on the 6th seed by half a game. A loss drops them to 8. Start your regulars and Tim (and hopefully Manu) can play limited minutes once the game is under control.
That said, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Tim in a suit.
Duncan hardly played last night so I'd play him so decent minutes in the second half if its semi close.
Ginobili should get a rest.
Release Hairston and let him get some run. Good matchups and good test.
Give Garret Temple some time too. Jerrells too what the .
Yea why not play Pop ? - what the
You can't play ginobili without duncan or vice versa. They rely on each other, they are as of current the only two players on the team with near flawless positioning on pick and rolls.
Blair rolls too early but gets rewarded most of the time anyway because ginobili is just an excellent passer, but nonetheless he's a lot less reliable.
McDyess is just god awful and can't do anything.
You need duncan and ginobili on the floor at the same time to do most damage.
Hubie should rest tomorrow. Called a of a game tonight
Right now every win is critical so I wouldn't sit anyone to start the game. If the Spurs give the same effort against the Nets that they did against the Celtics then Manu, TD and others could sit the entire 2nd half and let the youngsters go at it. The only reason to sit Manu may be that he has twesked his lower back and needs some rest. Portland is breathing down our necks and the last thing we want is the 8th seed. The standings are really tight now with the spread of 4 losses separating the 8th seed from the 2nd:
----------------W - L-------------- Last 10
Dallas ----------48 - 25--------------- 6-4
Denver ---------48 - 26--------------- 5-5
Utah -----------48 - 26----------------6-4
Phoenix --------47 - 26----------------8-2
San Antonio ----44 - 28----------------7-3
Oklahoma City --44 - 28----------------6-4
Portland --------45 - 29----------------8-2
With the Nuggets lost the difference between them and the Spurs is 2 games in the lost column and Dallas is 3. If the Spurs can continue to play at this level there is a distinct possibility of getting a much higher seed. I'm not thinking 2 or 3 but 4 or 5 could happen. And looking at the last ten games for each of those teams the Suns and Trailblazers are playing better than all the others. If not for the last 2 minutes of the Hawks game the Spurs could also be at 8-2 for their last ten games, too. Nuggets and Mavs haven't looked so mightly as of late and if K. Martin doens't return to the Nuggets soon they might end up in the lower half of the bracket come PO time.
I would like to sit both TD and Manu along with Dice but unfortunately the situation is such that the Spurs can't afford to do that now.
Can't afford to rest. No more mulligans.
Jump on these fools early and break their spirit. Then there'll be plenty of rest to go around.
NO MERCY! Don't sit anyone

we go as far ghill3 is going to take us...
Play Timmy only in the 2nd half. Let Manu play.
George Hill can probably beat the Nets on his own.
Sitting Manu+Duncan and letting Hill improve his career high sounds like the go-to move for me. Then again, I don't want to ruin this team's groove by changing starting lineups. Its not like Tim and Manu would play more than 20 minutes if they did play...
Hrm.
