Spurs lineup vs the Wizards, If the Big 3 Sits.

[Splits]

Living in DC & still trying to decide whether or not to go and try to see the Spurs play tonight as most likely Pop going to sit Tim and Parker down. Tickets going in the rafters very cheap [2-3 bucks on stubhubb] as the fans of the Wizards sick already of a franchise that just cannot seem to get it right.

I'll be there. 4th row behind the Spurs bench.

Tim should definitely sit this one out. No use in playing him again against a team that hasnt won a game yet. Im more than confident the Spurs can win without his contribution.

lol Really? I've personally developed a bad habit of saying "Pattinson!" every time Tiago rolls to the basket for a layup.

That's even gayer than twilight

You realize Pop has tanked games in the past. Case and Point losing by 40 at Portland.

He would more likely distribute minutes fairly evenly. I didn't say they would be playing De Colo Joseph & Anderson together Splitter most teams don't sub out their starting 5 with 5 bench players. Anderson has yet to play and without Manu & Kawhi & Stax there are plenty of minutes to go around.

good post here

Wiz aren't to be taken lightly tbh, they have a top 10 defense and have forced overtime in both games since Nene returned

Plus, if there's any game Pop will rest the big three it's likely the Miami game.

Tbh, a lot of east teams supposedly have "top defenses" every year. . .since they play 2/3rds of their games against the eastern conference. I'm not too worried about their defense unless our big 3 aren't playing.

That's why there's always a "startling turnaround" when they go on west coast road trips. Suddenly they give up 100+ there despite averaging giving up low 90's out east. I don't put stock in that anymore when it comes to eastern conference teams unless they're way ahead of the pack like Chicago, Miami, and Boston usually are. The other teams are just up there by cir stance (bad offenses from the annual 5-6 tankers in that conference)

Told ya dude. Crushed Wizards for way over 100 points. Eastern conference teams' defensive ratings are usually just an illusion.
