Ahh Yes! The Spurs continue to lead the NBA in idiot posts. Things have a tendency to remain the same over the years.
Name any other 30+ stars that were sat out entire games this week. I haven't heard of any. You're so full of Pop's your eyes have turned brown.

How exactly does other-stars-not-being-sat-out-this-week prove Tim Duncan didn't need the rest he got?
This thread is inexcusable. Pop has coached the team to 4 championships and most of the coaches in the league wish they had his record. Also, there have been a lot of hall of fame players that have not won anything so it's not just Duncan for the reason of our success.
Further, they played the night before so it's a great move to rest Duncan and Parker. In fact, I would probably rest them for the Denver game as well and they would have over a week of rest.
Lastly, we had the number #1 seed last year and it didn't really work out. So, don't worrying about seeding at this point since we have another half season to go. I expect us to be a top seed in the west and will have Pop to thank for bringing a healthy and rested group to our 5th playoff le run.
Dear stupid:
This is not hard to figure out. Popovich has never been unclear about how he approaches the regular season. And he laid it out again in his post game comments:
Listen, and understand. Remember this is from the consensus best coach in the NBA, according to most NBA players and coaches (forget ESPN).What the uninformed didn’t understand about Popovich’s banishment of his two stars was the utter lack of significance he places on anything as pedestrian as a win streak, even one that has reached double digits.
“We’ve had the same goal for 15 years: To be the best team we can possibly be come playoff time,” Popovich said before the game. “We’ve never ever talked about what our record should be, whether we are going to win a championship, or not. Never. It’s never come up in any practice or game for 15 years.
“We just try to get better every day, and whatever happens, happens.”
lol sorry....guess I shoulda said main reason.....this team has over achieved the past few years (with the exception of the playoffs)
Do you guys see the plethora of crappy caoches out there?? Pop is by far the best caoch in the league now that Phil Jackson retired
rofl What was the win streak at again? rofl
LMFAO @ THINKING THAT ALL OF HIS SUCCESS ISN'T DUE TO ONE Timothy ing Duncan.
Those Hall of Famers are not Tim Duncan. They are not the greatest Power Forward of All-Time.
Hey, I've got an idea... why don't we just sit them out until the playoffs start?Further, they played the night before so it's a great move to rest Duncan and Parker. In fact, I would probably rest them for the Denver game as well and they would have over a week of rest.
Right, from our BRILLIANT head coach playing Manu Ginobili in the last game of the regular season, a completely meaningless game. Yes, he sure is brilliant! Sure does know how to manage those minutes! What a genius!Lastly, we had the number #1 seed last year and it didn't really work out. So, don't worrying about seeding at this point since we have another half season to go. I expect us to be a top seed in the west and will have Pop to thank for bringing a healthy and rested group to our 5th playoff le run.
Michael Jordan is also the consensus GOAT, when it's pretty clear that Wilt Chamberlain was a superior player.
whining about Pop being a dumbass after this streak. Before the RRT everybody would have killed to have a 7-1 record. I'm bashing Pop sometimes but he deserves a lot of credits for that record.
Wilt was a stat-padder who didn't care about winning. He was afraid to have the ball in crunch time and feared fouling out to the point of deferring to less-skilled team mates. He played in Russell's shadow his entire career and was bitter about it for a long time. He's below Russell and Jordan, easy.
Get your history correct before you bring more takes about the present-era Spurs, imo. It isn't surprising that a pop-hater thinks a stat-stuffing loser and choker is superior to Jordan.
He deserves no credit. He wasn't on the court. He doesn't win the games. He made no incredible sorts of adjustments of any kind. He deserves intense criticism for something inexplicable like this, though.
There are 29 other NBA teams that would love to have Pop as coach. That's fact.
hahahahahaha @ "get your history correct", when you're citing Bill Russell. Guy was nothing more than a glorified Ben Wallace, that couldn't play a lick of offense and played on a stacked team that carried him. When you're averaging 50 and 25, sorry, but Jordan doesn't belong in the same sentence with you. Also way more of a defensive presence than Jordan, even if Jordan was the best perimeter defender in the league(it's debatable whether he was the best perimeter defender on his own team, though).
because you know a lot of coaches capable to get this kind of record with this roster ? who ?
By your logic the team doesn't need a coach that's just a freaking terrible take tbh
Just about anyone. It is the players that win games. Just look at LA's record minus Phil Jackson, very comparable to last year, and they even lost a huge piece and are learning a new system.
So I guess NY roster just sucks, D'Antoni has never coached a solid roster
man shut the up
No thanks, "Trill".
tbh, this whole "they'll lose their confidence because they lost a game," is stupid. If a player loses all confidence because of one loss, then they have bigger issues than the game of basketball.
Also, who cares that the winning streak was ended? A regular season winning streak doesn't mean squat, and especially by losing one game. As we've seen, playoff seeding doesn't matter. What actually matters is getting to the playoffs. Throwing in the towel for ONE game isn't going to change that.
I think the players were playing a little over their heads during the streak. 3 or 4 of those games could have easily been loses. The defense took a dive the last 4 to 5 games and the offense did just enough to pull through. They certainly won't lose their confidence over losing 1 game, but now, I almost fully expect them to lose to Denver. Playing around and going rogue in the middle of the season when a team is playing well can cause a team to take a turn for the worst. It could only last a couple of games or it could last a bit longer. Regardless of how well they're playing, I don't trust them in pressure situations and their slumps always come at the most inoppurtune time.
Well, TJ and company thing NBA players are as mentally fragile and weak as they are.
You're a re .
