Definitely a bad move, he's the one that has to live with the choice though.
Yes,this time Pop was dumb
Put TD in when we are down by +12 in the second quarter if you were trying to limit his minutes don't have sense. Now He will have to play 30 minutes at 100% without rest if we want to have a chance to win or he will play 15 minutes for nothing,Only to down his scoring and rebounding average.
At the end he would be less tired if he had started the game.Really bad move.Sit him all the game but not start him from the bench.
We can win the game but TD will have to work a lot of more.

Pathetic move.
I understand you want to rest Duncan, but why sit Blair along with him and really disrupt the starting lineup, the bench, the team's rhythem, you name it, there's not a single facet that pop didn't screw up with this brilliant move.
That was a pathetic move by Pop
Rest him the whole game or play him his normal minutes
Agreed. Either hold him out completely, or play him normally.
And, back 2 back nights with scoring droughts. Eventually, one must realize and accept that this team should not have trouble offensively, only defensively. Offensively we should be among the best teams in the L, night in and night out. We should literally never have scoring droughts. Such droughts can be caused by a lack of focus when they occur so often, especially considering out of timeouts we're unbelievable.
Where does the blame lie?
at least put him in with Manu...not rest him the whole 1st quarter
RJ is supposed to be the go to man on situation like this...but look at his stat
Very, very strange. Can't wait to hear Pop's post game comments and hear his rationale. Hopefully, they at least claw back and get the win. We may get a vintage prickly Pop.
Pop wants to inflate our bench stats.
Pop saw his mistake and started Blair/TD in the 2nd half
Maybe it's already too late
DAMN Pop
This one is 100% on Pop
Raptors sucks
If he played the normal rotation this game would be over in the 3rd
Now we got a L and no rest fot TD
Great job Pop
Normal rotation in the 2nd half
Spurs - 52
Raptors - 43
Really good job tonight Pop, really good
Agreed...if Duncan is going to play close to regular minutes anyway I don't see the point in not starting him.
He can be questioned when he s up.
sarcasm bro
Horrible play calls at the end too. Duncan wasnt making anything or any free throws
This has got to be one of the dumbest moves Pop has made in a long long time. Horrible decision to mess with the lineup when the team is trying to find consistency.
It looked like Duncan was pissed about not playing tonight too.
I'm not gonna read into this too much because I doubt it happens again... But a move like this sort of craps on the "it's who finishes the game that matters" notion to me. Who starts the game very much matters. No Ginobili till the 6 minutes mark in the first, and no Duncan till a few minutes into the second, isn't a recipe for success.
indeed very stupid. Timmy is healthy. Why is pop's acting like he is mr.glass?
Is he that scared of losing ppl come playoff time!?
Get over it POPs, You cannot prevent injuries. PLay your players like they are getting paid. If it is meant for them to get injured, they will get injured.
Who knows, Pop's is ing re ed.
He should be pissed about tanking all those 3 free throws at the end and pretty much blowing any chance to win.
wow I usually think it's stupid for Spurs fans to question a lot of Pop's decisions, but this one does seem incredibly stupid
What ticks me off the most about this is that the Mavs face the Lakers tonight. I know nothing is promised, but if the Mavs lose, the Spurs [once again] fail to take advantage of them losing and gaining ground in the division.
Pop is losing his marbles...
Also, with all the shots not falling tonight, I think we missed Bonner tonight. Too bad he's still injured.
I agree, but we all know that's never been a strength of his. Most bigs for that matter.
The point guard, on the other hand...
