And why ever did Pop play Timmy if that is all that Timmy can produce because of injury ?

For what it's worth...

Duncan had a good game against the Thunder, he can produce on some nights. He told Pop he felt good to go tonight against the Blazers, so Pop let him play.

When it became more than obvious that Duncan couldn't play Pop pulled him.

I get a bad feeling about this game

I was right

I live in DC and live and die by the Spurs (travel to watch them); having been a fan since '99 they are done. I think it feels good for a lot of people to unload on Manu (justifiably) but the reason the Spurs are going to simply go away is b/c Holt is unwilling to pay the luxury tax. That is a huge issue; and a huge issue for the Spurs. They gained "outside" fans during the Duncan and Robinson era (even Robinson seemed down on them on ESPN) but I am done and no longer burning too much money to watch them lose.
