I understand why he did it, but personally I disagree with it. I would've sat Tony vs. NO and Tim last night and Manu tonight, personally.
Just stay healthy. That's all that matters. So good move.

Good move. I'd rather the big 3 be rested for the Lakers.
Not expecting a win tonight but I feel the bench will compete and possibly steal a win.
One less game where i have to worry about one of them getting injured.
Did all 3 stay back in SA or did TP/TD make the trip?
pretty much
I want to see if Mills can be a full-time backup PG though. It will be a good test for him if he gets a lot of minutes.
Great Move.
Pop trolling the NBA.
Your first point is valid, but only for the unseasoned. It seems that the big 3 want each of their teammates to flourish - I can see them being more hungry (win or lose) to get back at it.
I like the move quite a bit. I know our first place record is in jeopardy BUT 8 games in 11 days is brutal. Wouldn't be a surprise if we ended up with 2nd and wouldn't be mad at Pop for not trying harder for 1st place.
Besides, this is a great opportunity for Splitter, Mills and Diaw to get more playing time. I would ride Splitter pretty hard tonight too, even if he becomes exhausted too quickly. Best way to get in shape is play basketball and get your muscles used to fast twitching activity.

Yes
Look at upcoming schedule
We know okc is a top 2 seed lock. So Spurs by getting top 2 avoid them. Spurs also need to watch LA. If LA is 3, spurs should go a little harder for the one seed. If la is 4, spurs should aim for the 2nd seed.
From the shocking news department: Spurs are 0-5 since start of 2002-03 season when playing without any of the Big 3.
Wow, it already happened 5 times. I thought it was 2, maybe 3
I just haven't figured out El Nono is gonna blame the loss (if there is one) on Tony.
I guess I am in the minority but I hate that Pop sat all three for this game. Its not like they haven't all played in back to backs before. I would be fine with sitting one or two and giving less minutes to whoever did play but at least one of them should have been saved for this game.
Its like Pop wants the ing streak to end. I find it disappointing for sure.
Think it would've been better to rest them in SA than in Utah...We would have our crowd to cheer them on and give them more confidence....But if we end up getting the W it will make it that much better!!!....
yo streak clown!
J/K (I couldn't resist)!
I don't think the team is good enough defensively to get out of the 3rd round without HCA, so no.
It would be OKC, so yes.
Meh
If you supported the decision to sit them, then zip your lip about the loss tonight.
Very restrained response. I was expecting something similar to the aftermath of the Portland game.
Well done Spurs fans.
Off with his head!!!!
