Rest Up or Go for #63

[dknights411]

I guess it's kind of a silly question, but I was wondering what you guys think the Spurs should do vs. Houston. Rest up or go for the franchise record with #63.

I say rest up, but I'm just curious what you guys think.

The last time a Spurs team set the franchise win mark, they got punked in the WCF. It doesn't matter. If we win with the bench, great. If not, no injuries is a WIN.

Exactly. No need to be greedy. If they win, they win, but let us not risk injury to our key guys.

rest

[mikejones99]

Go for 63. Spurs should be able to beat Houston no matter who plays now that Yao and McGrady are out.

[Extra Stout]

Let NVE, Melvin, Barry, Fabricio, and Rasho deliver a win.

[Budkin]

Rest the starters... don't risk injury.

[milkyway21]

Yao Ming is out. play the big 3 in the 1st half.

then, let the bench -->for the 63.

[ploto]

Do not even suit up Tim or Tony. Make them rest and suit up Melvin and Sean.

[Spurminator]

Given the Rockets' injury situation I would hope you could do both.

[PM5K]

Rest up, ing duh...

It's not like we are going for 73.....

[Vashner]

63? I would rather have another Ring.. how about just let the scrubs play.

[Tek_XX]

This is a freakin no brainer. Let's rest up AND go for 63. We're playing a depleted Houston here. The reserves can get it done.

[T Park]

activate Marks and Sanders.

Deactive Ginobili and Duncan.

Start Mohammed and Rasho.

let Parker play about 5 minutes.


But they should still win.

Don't play Finley too many minutes.


Run the O through Udrih, Barry, and others.


Tell Bowen to stay home.

why won't you just let Bruce watch the game, TPark?

or let him play 5-10 minutes.
Bruce's aiming for a 4 yr 82-game/season record too!

Bruce Bowen is the only Spurs player to have suited up for all 81 games this season. Should he make it to the end of the regular season without missing a game, it will be the 4th consecutive season in which he was the lone Spur to play in all 82 games. He has played in 327(?not sure)consecutive games, an all-time Spurs record.
Go Bruce!

[Kori Ellis]

As far as I know by what Pop said tonight, the regular starters will start and their minutes will just be limited. He said that Tim/Tony need to get rested up, but Manu said he needs to play and keep trying to get into rhythm. Manu said he's 80%.

that's what I wanted to hear. limit the minutes but they still have to play.

[angel_luv]

I think it would be awesome to let the bench have a go at winning us game 63- continue to get them prepped and pepped for the play offs.

[T Park]

why won't you just let Bruce watch the game, TPark?

Cause these playoffs will be his toughest yet.


KObe Bryant or Ron Artest in the first round.

Possible Nowitzki or whoever with memphis in the second

Marion or Cassel or Anthony in the 3rd

and the freakin Pistons in the Finals.



Bowen needs all the rest he can get.

hey all I'm asking is 5 min.

then, the all-time Spurs record.

so, what do you think?

[angel_luv]

I want the win- mostly since I will be there to see it.

But the play offs matter the most- so I want whoever needs to rest or play to do so.

so, you'll be in Houston?

i think Houston fans are a lot friendlier than our other opposing fans. I watched a Houston game vs Clev once and when Lebron made 50 pts they actually applauded him even if their team was losing the game.

Alot can happen in 5 minutes.


But, Pop said they are playing, so that egomaniac trumps my thoughts

When I lived there I thought there were a lot of mean people in Houston.

I went once alone to a Spurs at Rockets game- decked out in Spurs gear of course.

The Houston fans gave me a very hard time but it was good natured and of course I fought back.
And now I am bringing re-enforcements.

BTW- The game I went to was the one in December of last season when Tracy went crazy and scored all those points in the final thirty seconds.
You can imagine the treatment I received after that game.

[J.T.]

I'm sure our bench can handle the Rockets and seal a W. Play TD and TP like 16 minutes each, Manu about 25, and we'll be golden.
