Well we're coming up against another weaker western conference opponent and we need to win this one to keep pace with the Thunder.

Go Spurs!!

Rooting for Clippers to win over OKC tonight. Gonna keep a close eye on that game.

[Nolan]

Well that was never in question.

Was hoping to see RJ

I'm glad we kicked the Warriors' teeth early, so Pop could rest the starters so he has no reason to tank another game tomorrow.

Hopefully Pop's allergic reaction to the top seed doesn't manifest itself again in one of the next 2 days.

[Donald Kaufman]

Pop values health over seeding, but I suppose you know better?

[SinJackal]

Yeah, I remember that last year when he played Manu the last game of the season when he broke his elbow when we already had the top seed locked up and actually should've rested. Oh wait, he didn't rest them and Manu got injured. Just like he didn't rest them against LA instead of Utah, and it resulted in 2 losses instead of what obviously would've just been 1.

So clearly Pop doesn't know when to rest people, and I know better since I said he should've done the opposite. We barely lost to the Jazz w/o the big 3, so we likely would've won with, and we lost to LA anyway, so that was obviously the better idea, since being up more in the standings = you can rest more and still get HCA against OKC in the playoffs.
