why is big dog on the playoff roster if he does not play?

I'm guesing we're gonna see him in the 4th. I guy his age doesn't respond well to lots of minutes in high al ude.

**RobinsontoDuncan** · 05-01-2005

good question, If we make it to round 2, he should see more time, especially after that against Phoenix and their lackluster defence

**ladiesman** · 05-01-2005

Actually, the spurs are in the queens-sonics

**Spurminator** · 05-01-2005

Robinson will probably only see time if we are down by 10-20 points in the second half and desperate for offense. In games where we are ahead, or it is close, defense will be given priority.

I was wondering the same thing, Big Dog would have been useful in our 3rd quarter meltdown...

**baseline bum** · 05-01-2005

Because Glen Robionson isn't good enough to make the team's main rotation. He's there to play in blowouts, to sub when there's foul trouble, and in case of injuries. There's no way I want him playing over Ginobili, Barry, or Bowen right now. The only team I can see him getting much run against is the Sonics in a possible matchup.

The rotations will shorten in the playoffs.

Pop will use him "as needed."

**gregpschneid** · 05-01-2005

He just hasn't been around long enough to learn the plays. Glen will only be used if there is an injury or some other people are playing terrible. I think he is mainly just insurance, but who knows he could come up big at some point.

**CHAMPS AGAIN** · 05-01-2005

GROB will come out big in one game or two to win playoffs game

**vincerodriguez23** · 05-01-2005

yeah i forgot about him too, be we sure couldve used him.

**GoSpurs21** · 05-01-2005

he was not needed tonight....just like Barry

it was a great that the Spurs didnt need to count on either one of those to two guys

Glenn will have his chance to make a difference
But in the close playoff games...defense will make the difference, and Glenn was brought in to help on the offensive end

It makes thing's easier for Mark Stein when he's writing a playoff matchup article:

"Denver is on a tear going into the playoffs, but what they have in youth and athleticism, they lack in veteran leadership. The addition of Glenn Robinson, a career 20-point scorer and a 12-year veteran, further improved the Spurs' already vaunted veteran core."

I think the Big Dog will see alot of minutes in game 4. I think Denver relied too much on being at home to get them through this game, so I think Denver will make it an emphasis to shut down the driving lanes and REALLY clog the paint in game 4. That should make 3pt and mid-range shooting a MUST for the Spurs in game 4. That's how I see Big Dog getting his minutes in the next game. That's just my opiniion.
