I know a few million people in Phoenix who probably said something similar year after year regarding confidence in their team and those Spurs. I love this team, but until I see a D'Antoni led team get through to the Finals, I'm a little apprehensive. Those Suns teams were usually healthy and ready to go come April/May but just couldn't get past the relentless effort and fundamentals that is the San Antonio Spurs.
I'm fine with making sure people are healthy for the playoffs... even at the expense of a few games... prob is... between Murrays desire to use (or not use) roster spots for future possibilities and projects... and MDA's evident desire to only run an 8-10 man rotation... many of our guys are still pulling 35, 36, 40 minutes a night.... How often with 2 minutes left in the 4th qtr and a 16 point differential (+ or -) is Harden still in the game? I agree with your premise... but that ain't how these guys are runnin the team... 34, 36, + minutes... until an injury.... then next man up.... smh...
VERY true. I have a very close friend in Phoenix and to this day he still calls them the San Antonio Sterns.
For me it is. I think we maintain our health and can maintian the 3rd spot I am not interested in burning out trying to get to #2 but I don't want us to go to #4 either Rocket River
Bump, in light of serious injuries to other top seeds. It's good that the injury bug has seemingly moved on from Houston, just gotta hope it stays that way.
