    Resting people 6 games into the season is WEAK especially if your team has only played 3 games.

    lol at resting after 3 games. fack it, they all count the same and this could go into tiebreakers later in the season. time to take care of business.

    Mike Wilbon is a douche. Pretty much said on PTI that the Spurs should still beat the Rockets easily without Duncan and Manu.

    World-champion Spurs want to be excused.

    Get an early lead and then give the bench a lot of development time.

    I remember in a documentary on MJ, how before every game he would look into the crowd and realise there would be one kid who had come just to see him play, maybe his one and only time, and that is what motivated him to put in his best effort every night. If only more players has this sort of mentality...

    I still remember most of our games lost when it is on TNT last season (probably 1 - 2 games won), Pop is taking the bet on this;)

    Without some of Pops' best players on the court, even if we win, the TNT crew will slight us and say it was because Spurs weren't at full force. Especially our old pal Chuck.

    We really need to rest our starters for when we play Golden State. That's going to be a good game.

    That was last season when we also beat them four straight.

    I wonder if Bevs being out is just a rest thing or is he still ailing?

    Draymond Green is starting for David Lee at the 4. Harrison and Iggy have swapped at SF.
