Easy win
Real game thread.
Ginobili and Duncan will probably sit along with Parker.
Gonna be a good game.
Sorry DML, but after I saw Duncan tweak his knee, I knew it had to do with you. The other two game threads you started, Parker and Manu got injured. Can't take those chances.

Need this one so we can tank the Lakers game and give them one less ping pong ball.
So glad I didn't drop $250-$350 on the Rockets game as usual
possible first round matchup. safe to say duncan rests after playing 39 against _allas
I think Tim will rest, but they are going go all out to win otherwise.
Gonna be a tough game to win with the big 3 likely not playing and the fact that the Suns are hitting their stride again now that Eric Bledsoe is healthy.
It's the scariest first round match-up the Spurs will have if they get the Suns.
Dragic will probably not play, but I still think the Suns win cause the Spurs big 3 won't play.
Tim and Manu won't play. I wouldn't be that surprised to see Tony for limited minutes.
It will be interesting to see how far Hornacek pushes Dragic tonight. He's got a sore ankle and they have a much more important game tomorrow night in Dallas.
Stay healthy. That's the most important thing with the big likely sitting. Winning would be nice too.
Big 3 out. Everyone else in. Spurs win behind Marco's 28.
It would be great just to win this game and then the remaining games our whole roster goes DNP-Resting for #5.
Wouldn't be surprised to at least see Manu play as Pop tries to build his stamina up for the playoffs. Tbh. Maybe.
Marco plays so much better at home, so that's a possibility.
Curious spot for Pop, who played hard (with what he had) to win the Memphis and Dallas games and now faced with their direct compe or.
Pop likely doesn't care -- nor should he, I think -- but Memphis and Dallas might be pissed if the Spurs don't at least make an effort to try to make tonight's game a winnable one by playing most of their guys.
Zero percent chance Duncan plays. I'd sit the rest of the Big 4 as well.
I'd understand if Mem/Dallas was pissed but that's just the way the schedule dictates it tbh.
They saw Duncan's knee. Can't be upset if the Spurs don't play him. Parker has missed the last two games so can't be upset if he misses either.
Let Phoenix win IMO, hopefully they can move up to the 6th seed and Golden State drops to the 7th seed
I wonder what Pop's checklist will look like for tonight. Parker staying at home playing NBA2K. Check. Duncan bubble wrapping both knees wherever he goes. Check. Manu with limited minutes and no more frogging. Check.
I agree with all of that. I had written that Duncan's injury provides a way around those issues to some extent, but deleted that thought before finalizing my post.
The knee certainly changes things. (And if Parker comes back tonight (I doubt he will), Dallas (and Memphis, for the most part) will have gotten the advantage of playing the Spurs without Tony).
will be close as at least tim and tony will be out and possibly manu. and the suns really need this one.
I'd be fine with Tony sitting unless necessary. I've never had one, but I can imagine a facet sprain can be pretty painful and possibly easily to re-aggravate.
Suns win big if Dragic plays. If not Spurs have a chance.
Call me crazy, but there's no way Pop sits his stars tonight. He's going to make it as hard as he can on the Suns, just like he has done the last decade or so.
GOD DAMN IT, POP. THROW US A BONE.
