Pop hasn't played hm all playoffs. I wish Pop was a little more flexible. You can't just play set rotations all the time without a feel for the game.
Now he's played TD and TP 40+ minutes and game 7 didn't give much time to rest he can't use the same rotation without getting more from the bench. The younger team will always win in that situaiton. It happened to Doc Rivers in game 7 in '10 when he decided to shorten his rotation. I remember thinking that it would hurt the Celtics more since they were the older team. Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself. In a way the Spurs already ran out of gas last night and that's why they couldn't finish the game.
