If I'm him, I play the starters no more than 15 minutes and let the bench get some burn. Overall homecourt is not important at this point, because the Lakers, not the Bulls, are the more immediate threat, and the last thing I want to do is give the Lakers confidence after the 0 and Fiver. By keeping the starters on a short leash, the Lakers gain nothing more than a empty win, other than ostensibly securing the 2nd seed.
If the Lakers beat a motivated Spurs team with the starters playing heavy minutes, the 0 and Fiver might as well have never happened, and the Lakers have renewed momentum going into the playoffs.
Pop needs to go into mind game mode and take the importance of this game out of the equation and tank it. Nothing to play for, really.
If you're going to play them only 15 minutes then you might as well sit the Big 3 out.
What's the point of risking injury during those 15 minutes if you plan to pull them by halftime anyways?
C'mon, Hector, Midget sounds like an idiot, and you know it.
Can't wait to see Artest fellatio his bicep after knocking a hip into Chris Quinn.

True. Point is, Pop should just tank this game. Funny thing is, with the way the 0 and Five squad has been playing, the Spurs bench just might pull it out..
Going balls out in this game is a lose-lose proposition, and I hope Pop realizes it.
You got no room. You had O & 6 Fest.
Even though Dallas isn't beating the Lakers, LA having to go on the road for thee straight series would be a daunting task. I'd rather LA get the 3 seed just so that they don't win again.
Jesus Culby there you go again posting same over and over be more original![]()
Well, don't tell Jag on me. He'll tell the girl.
Ok?
SA wouldn't beat the Lakers even if they played everybody.
And overall HCA don't mean cause SA ain't getting that far anyway, so all in all
it doesn't matter
just becuase you hang around kids doesn't mean you have to act like one![]()
