Pop has been quick to pull Splitter when he is over matched and they use him sparingly in those situations.. My biggest problem is that Ayres will be out there to get reamed in the ass 100 times.
I don't want to see another moment of Mario Chalmers dunking on him and blocking his shots. Or the rest of the team taking turns ing him in the ass. Seriously, though, Pop will surely start Splitter but do you think he'll give him a quick hook if that starts happening again or will he try to see if he can play through it to build him confidence? You'd think starting Diaw would be the better move but maybe Pop wants to play CIA Pop and save that for later down the road, if we're lucky enough to get there?

Ayres has some bad blood with them, too. He was involved in a couple fights with them while with the Pacers. I wonder if he's even good at that? Maybe Baynes can be more useful in this matchup, especially if they play that front-running Oden.
Ayres is a fake tough guy, has it written all over his face but Pop will play him because Miami will go small and Pop doesn't dictate matchups he will bend to the will of Miami.. Expect about a 10 point run during that time.
In theory, Splitter could be a good matchup vs. Oden but they don't play him significant minutes.
In theory but Miami will probably roll with a 3 guard lineup, Chalmers, Wade, Battier, LeBron and Bosh so Tiago might not start, might be Diaw but as soon as Birdman comes in we'll see Tiago.
From what I've seen, Bird er has dropped down in terms of activity down low. Maybe he's saving it for the postseason but he's also 35 now. Maybe them squeezing in Oden has hurt his value, though.
no. Bring him off the bench.
Parker/ Green/ Leonard/ Diaw/ Duncan
Mills/Belinelli/Ginobili/ Splitter
have Diaw play a some on Lebron with Green/Leonard switching off on Wade.
Just another regular season game, tbh...
As long as Ayres doesn't play!
True and Pop is not going to treat it like some big statement game. The fans will.
anything other than ayres is a win.
Yeah but we're still a game and a half out if the 1 seed and we need that HCA against any elite team we'd face in the playoffs so we can't mess around from here on out. We also still need to beef up our record against the elites to prep for the playoffs.
it would be nice to win, but we certainly don't NEED to win this game to "prepare" for the playoffs. Just look at how we played last year around this time.
I think the Spurs should just roll over for now. Save it for the playoffs.. If the Spurs can get that lucky again
It will be nice if Tiago can get going against the heat.
Start Tiago or Diaw 1st half. Start Diaw 2nd half.
Spurs don't show their hand until the real season starts. Expect much of the same we've seen over the last few weeks.
Actually Id like to see that big galoot Baynes get in and knock a few heads around tonight.
Read my mind, Pop! Thanks! LOL.
If I was Splitter, I'd ever do my best against any team Le Bron plays. I'd get my revenge at any cost.
good call! or...... pop? LOL
It is beyond pathetic that any Spurs fan vets understand EXCACTLY what you mean.
