"Sore left knee" for both.. Seems more like rest
"Sore left knee" for both.. Seems more like rest
Not surprising. Glad Duncan is sitting this one out tbh.
I though TP9 would be out instead of Kawhi tbh Kawhi is a X-Factor in this game but eh I can dig it
It will cause b2b losses
Not surprised. Still disappointing after last nights loss.
Doubt we win this one.
Playing Parker makes little sense in that context.
I looked at the stats of Spur players vs Memphis this season and outside of Parker and Duncan not too good
........................ Okay now this is just getting ridiculous guys. I know the spurs say it doesn't matter, but I know they'd rather play the Jazz, the Lakers, or the Mavs rather than the Rockets. The Rocket's will run us to the ground in that first playoff series, and do we really want to play Harden again if we can avoid it? And what the Pop? Do the Spurs simply not play back-to-back anymore? This team isn't that old. If we lose the #1 seed, and somehow lose to Harden again, I think I'm going to be sick.
very suprised that TP is playing he didn't look 100% yesterday shocked pop would play him...tony prob talked him into it
Thought Kahwi would play..
This should be a loss.. Hopefully they at least compete..
I would've sat Tp and Tim. Make Kawhi focal point of offense (Bulls game).
Might as well rest TP as well..
TP is still trying to regain his game shape after being out with that injury, so I can see why Pop would play him for some limited minutes, especially against a talented PG like Conley.
Conley is balling without Rudy Chucker . Averaging 16 and 7 without Rudy
With the Memphis's size and Duncan out, I would hope to see Baynes and his 6'10 250 frame and six fouls for once. Certainly nothing to lose.
I'd sit Tim and Tony for Wed VS Orlando but play Kahwi..
That way Tim and Tony can both play well against OKC on Thursday..
This should be a good game . I expect Zach to struggle . Expecting big game for Gasol and Parker
Yeah Baynes will definitely get minutes tonight. He should start like they did with Cojo and they should do the 3 big rotation with him instead.
We're fine with the 1 or 2 seed really. Houston or LA, it doesn't matter. What matters is that they get past the first round and get that extra revenue from 3 more home games.
Pop knows his team has all but won the division (to clinch a top 4 seed) and that it has all but clinched a top 2 seed. I suspected there would be rest built into this 4-in-5 set for everyone; while I had figured it would be Wednesday against Orlando, there are plenty of reasons to explain a choice to save his guys from a battle against a physical Memphis team that is scratching and clawing to get into the top 4. I also agree that playing Parker tonight is likely as much about giving Tony a chance to find his game again, though it wouldn't surprise me if Parker's minutes are limited tonight and Wednesday (if he plays at all against Orlando).
Guess we're giving up the one seed.
