Afford? No, of course they can sit Manu but afford it? empty pockets.
He continues to play well everytime he comes back after a few days of rest. Might not be a bad idea.

Against ty teams, sure...otherwise no.
I think you have to take the chance to keep him as rested and healthy as possible for the playoffs. Hopefully the schedule is favorable to do so against the bottom tier teams.
You have to do it.It doesn´t matter who you play, right now is our most consistent player.
yes.
He's going to be missing back to backs from here on out, I believe... he'll be really missed when we play on the road... hopefully the team keeps improving so he'll be missed much less..
Gotta pick games carefully. 2nd seed is ours to lose
It's more important that we make sure and get HCA over Cleveland tbh. Beating the Warriors is all nice and well but if we give Lebron HCA over us again it'll be the same outcome as in 2013.
Ehhh for 1.) Lebron tends to coast a lot in the RS 2.) I think cleveland isnt really a threat right now
You're fooling yourself big timeLebron will be in the thick of the battle come June, that's a bigger guarantee than Hillary Clinton winning the presidency.
Well sure we can.
It doesn't matter what happens right now. At the end of the season we need healthy bodies who are in tune with one another and with Pop's system. That won't happen until the RRT, so right now there's no need to get someone injured or wear anyone out just to stay 4 or so games up on the 4th seed. It doesn't make sense.
How? Lebron being a god in June is a given. But we match up better with them than we matchup with gsw.You're fooling yourself big time
I was wondering if someone would start this thread. Man, he looks awesome when rested. Don't know the best way to deal with this issue, logic dictates you rest him against the cellar dwellers, but it seems the spurs struggle even against the scrubs without his play making. On another note, hope tonight is a confidence builder for KA who appears to have some big time play making potential of his own.
HCA team in the Finals is at an enormous advantage... we can ill-afford to not have HCA against the Cavs who thrive at the Q.
It may become logical at some point, the more entrenched the Spurs become in the 2 Seed.
I think it's time to shut him down for a while. I noticed tonight he was grimacing a lot. At one point the trainer was with him giving some kind of treatment and he was running on the sidelines during timeouts. It's not good to have him out there if he's hurt.
He needs to play to keep his rhythm, but he started off poorly and didn't get hot until the end. He was playing very intensely on Defense and even when he made some mistakes early he didn't loose his focus, but 20 mins is right where you would want him, and some games he was playing 24 and wanting to push through pain. Pop being careful with him though. That's why I suspect we saw a little of Simmons tonight.
I'd rest him at Denver and keep him fresh for Atlanta.
Also, there's a good chance Dallas might rest a few guys on wednesday since it's a b2b - they play @Memphis first, which is a more important and winnable game for them. They've already done it @Houston. If they do the same, I'd rest Manu against them too and this would give him 4 full days of rest.
I would rest Manu the second night of B2B vs Atlanta at home..Gino is more valuable on the road and that bench has looked clueless without him outside the confines of AT&T..Plus, Denver are not a total doormat, they are scrappy and and their scrubs could explode into fatal unanswered runs on our second unit ..
Cuban would not allow to rest anyone against us. Even more now that they lost to memphis.
at least Parsons will rest ... he has a minutes restriction and Carlisle only plays him in one game of a b2b ...its not Cuban's call
Manu should not make the trip to Denver tbh ...
If we need Manu to get anywhere then we are in a world of and might as well tank.
Spurs can afford to put Manu on ice for 2/3rd of the regular season.
I would rather Spurs have a lower record than a spent Manu come playoff time. The dude is 38 years old!!
What the ????? What's the point of playing him hurt!
