I'll be willing to fall on the sword if a losing streak begins in my absence. But I think Pop and co are too disciplined to lose more than a game or two over the next few weeks. Only real danger of losses piling up is when he rests people at the very end.

I hope you have a good time and get some work done. . Not supers ious on Melissa myself but she's tradition Just nice forum presences are esteemed and will be missed. cheers.

Minutes played Saturday:

Leonard: 38:32
Aldridge: 37:09
Diaw: 35:05
Green: 31:52
Parker: 29:03

No one else at/above 21:00

Of the above list, with a day in-between games, the most likely candidate for rest would be Diaw...but I don't see it happening.

If anyone sat, I could see Diaw or Parker, but they are both coming off impressive games and I think momentum for those two would do them more good than time off.

Pop need Tony/Diaw b/c of Marvin/Kemba but West/Patty should get a lot of minutes b/c they didn't play much against the Worriers.

Bill Simmons, the die hard Celtics fan, alluding to the Spurs shutting down (tanking) in 1997 to get a better shot at Duncan in the lottery. Celtics fans will never get over that since they had the best odds in the lottery to land the number one pick.

He specifically said 1997. The year the Spur sat DRob after having a season plagued with injures and selected Duncan. In some way he's comparing Ben Simmons (which it's presumed to be the first pick) to Duncan.

Hottest team in the association... Im a lil worried!

Potential for trap is YUGE!!!

Hope we show up mentally.

I like the early east coast start time. Won't have to record Better Call Saul tonight.
