yup i agree with the rest, i feel like if we kept winning with bonner playing thirty minutes and duncan cruising we would lose because pop wouldn't have confidence in tiago to play him if we got in trouble. i think we would have just flat out choked we needed to have a slump and pull together.

this is a of a crash course for my man tiago to step in and play a huge part of this team on both ends of the floor. we barely lost and it was straight up pops fault . all i know is the fans are now ready to let pop know if they dont see tiago in the playoffs. i know when i go see the playoff games ill be letting pop know to play tiago (im by the bench)

and these teams are celebrating their wins against us w/our franchise player out!!! lol so while they played a great game (give port. credit) they will definitely be made our bottom with timmy back and tiago's heart off the bench. it needs to be tim/dice and tiago/blair off the bench i know we can go all the way with that lineup and the way bonners choking every game pop seems to finally be giving in

You are correct about the compe ion the last 2 games. I'm still angry that they had both games right there for the taking and blew it. Now is not the time to lose confidence.

SA needs to wipe the floor with somebody soon.

It would be a shame to have a big swoon now after such a great season so far. The piece of crap ex Baylor player from Golden State (Udoh?) snuck up under Duncan and screwed that ankle up. Messed us up big time.

Tue, Apr 12 vsSan Antonio
Wed, Apr 13 @Sacramento

Here's what I would do... I'd rest Manu and Tony for the Memphis game. Just sit 'em, give 'em the night off. It benefits us to have Memphis as the 7th seed and NO without West as the 8th seed anyway.

Then I'd throw the kitchen sink vs. the Blazers the next night, Mon the 28th. I really think all seven games from Mar. 28-April 9. vs. Utah are quite winnable and we're going to have to win all seven to get HCA throughout playoffs.

Unlike the OP and some of the commentators here, I don't see a loss in LA's schedule and maybe one in Chicago's. We're going to have to go 7-3 or at least 6-4 to wrap this up. I'm hopeful if we win those middle six or seven games, then we can rest everyone for that last two game road trip @LA and @Phx.

If we need one more win in those last two games, then again, I'd sit everyone at LA and go for broke at Phx.
