A point guard's nightmare...someone who works on catching the ball during the offseason instead of shooting.I just think he'll put in weird subs. Who's up for Ayers at the 2 guard?
"showing his hand"
we hear the same old every year. Pop himself says EVERY team knows exactly what EVERY other team does. There are no "hands" to hide.

Doubt it. Getting 2-3 seed vs 4-5 seed too important. Kerr might actually rest some guys to "help" Spurs since he'd rather not see them until WCF imo.
If anything, it's Kerr who won't field a normal lineup, not Pop.
Yeah, I stated the same above but after watching them against the Clippers I am not so sure anymore. Kerr easily could have mailed it in after the 1st Q, but even without Green he kept the rotations steady and the Warriors came back to win the game. They do not seem to look for rest.
They were George W Bush's favorite team so people started calling them Dubya's team, eventually that got shortened to Dubs after the Iraq war and Dubya became unpopular.

Does that mean we should expect some mad scientist Pop line ups that leave wondering wtf is he thinking?
I'd be surprised if both teams DON'T play to win as if it were a Game7. We beat GSW at home, they'd want payback.
Spurs have chance at 4th seed, getting HCA in the first round. Sunday is worth a full team effort.
and then 2 shots at HOU. Take those 3, and the League trembles.
I don't expect GS to run a full lineup. They have some minor injuries, this game has no meaning for them, and the shoe is on the other foot in terms of not showing all the cards.
Still a doubter about the Warroirs in the playoffs. When they get in the playoffs, and get in a dogfight, I see nothing to suggest they can't be had again. They have to be the favorites because the regular season is obviously a legitimate measuring stick of their improvement.
I do however believe that timing is crucial here. I would like to see them beat on by Memphis BEFORE a we get to them. I believe the contrast in styles they would have to adjust to is very important. We just need to punch them in the face and drain the youthful confidence right out of them. They are the hunted, in what is possibly multiple 7 game series for them. This is a role they can't fully understand. Give them some draining tough loses where they have to adjust, doubt enters, and they become vulnerable, especially to a team like ours that can match them.
If we are playing well enough to force them to mentally strain in order to legitimately TAKE games from us, I think we got em.
Actually this is shaping up to be Warriors' most important remaining game if they want to avoid the Spurs until the WCF, which is likely and logical.
As things stand, the Spurs have a much bigger chance to finish 5th ( if they beat the Rockets twice ) or 6th ( if they split the Rockets games ) than 2nd or 3rd ( if they overtake both Rockets and Memphis ). If the Warriors want them on the other side of the bracket they'd much rather beat them and push them to 6th, than rest guys, lose and allow the Spurs to fight for 2nd or 3rd, which is much less likely. In other words, if the Warriors win then the Spurs will very likely end up 6th, if the Spurs win they'd be much more likely to finish 5th than 2nd/3rd.
I think the Warriors rest guys in Dallas and play full strength in SA.
I'm su ious, and I hope I'm right. There's nothing wrong with Tiago Splitter.
Lol op with a stealth bump.
Good call on the weird starting lineup aka Bonner
