Pop trolling ST
Why wouldn't you give Pop the benefit of the doubt. It's early in the season, and Pop probably didn't like the Thursday night west coast, Saturday Texas, early Sunday Florida 3-games-in-4-nights (68 hours). Players bodies aren't used to the grind yet, and it was an unusually tough travel schedule for any time in the season.
Resting players on/off throughout the season allows them some recovery time.
Thanks!Riga Time!!!!!!!!!!
Sup weeblow...how about that game today?
Lol
Pop usually rests half the team against Miami in the regular season.
played 25 minutes against the Pelicans
Well the Pop ego about his system and his run for CoY is a creative take. I applaud the ballsy take. I am mystified by the whole thing myself. If it was a rest thing Pau is the older player...
Pau looks out of shape though, and he hasn't worked out his own kinks... I think Pop is maybe giving Pau the Diaw treatment. Diaw himself admitted Pop didn't rest him games and played him in garbage time to force him to keep in shape and use increase his stamina and conditioning, basically Pop was working out Diaw through playing time. Maybe he's giving some of the same medicine to Pau to work him into shape. Still doesn't justify LMA rest this early unless he wanted to see others... He's basically going to want to see Dedmon and Bertans is my own guess.
TP is playing.
CIA Pop nothing new here folks. When you have what appears to be a completely different bench and team from last year, it makes sense to see what you're working with. It's not about Pop wanting to humble his team and lose a game; he wants to give everyone quality minutes right now to see exactly where we're at.
I am mystified too. Didn't Pop make some remark in the preseason about taking LMA along slowly? As others have said its the 4th game in 6 nights. (It's completely screwed up my sleep schedule) Maybe he thinks LMA can afford a rest while Pau still needs the practice.
Pop trolling Miami, another creative ballsy take.

Only way it could be better is if it was on TNT.
Yeah, he needs an excuse to evaluate some of the new guys in regular season games. If he just doesn't start LMA, that's sort of insulting. Plus he would be under pressure to bring LMA into the game if it's close in the 4th. This way, the other guys don't have any choice but to step up, if they're up to it.
I'm just worried that LMa seems out of shape, out of rythm and out of sync with the lineup. Really want him to be on top of his game, like @ Oakland. He can't take it easy during the offseason. Wrong side of 30 sucks.
I hope I'm overreacting
Aldridge should ask for a trade tbh

Lee replaces LA in starting lineup, per Pop. #Spurs
meh
Pop said one of the reasons he sat Parker last night was because he was "banged up" with a "hyperextension of his knee." #Spurs
Bertans better get some meaningful minutes at pf.
obviously. Since 2011, he's hated regular season success.
This is a ing joke, you, Pop
Am I the only one who saw LMA talking with the doctor about his right knee during last game?
Then they put ice on that knee and he played more minutes. Surely it was nothing and Pop is being cautious about this back-to-back game.
