Not a single player on the Spurs roster averaged > 30 minutes this season.

I credit this to Popovich and his coaching staff.. the Spurs are all about execution. When you expect each player to perform, you can insert any no name guy into their system and he will thrive and contribute. If Manu would have hit just one free throw in last year's gm6 finals .

 

I love the "he's not bad we just don't play him enough theory" almost as much as "if player a averages this and took as many shots as player b did he'd average the same amount of points". The spurs depth is incredible. We wouldn't win over 45 games playing like that half the time we had to bring Harden in early because the bench was blowing leads

 

The system doesn't work without players. Pop is no doubt the best coach in the league but they have a wealth of talent

In McHale's defense, Pops doesn't have to coach for his job.

Actually neither does McHale...

Anyways - it would hurt Harden's PPG so eff it.
