There is nothing wrong wit tp9 sitting a game out....

He just needs to be ready come playoff time

What do you mean convince? Pop is the coach. And he's got the rings and record that speak for itself. He ain't Mike D'Antoni. If he says someone sits, they fucking sit.

And sitting Parker is smart. He's a little guy, he handles the ball most of the time, stays in the lane and takes a lot of hard hits. If 2 of the big 3 are going to sit anyway, you might as well give the 3rd guy a rest to keep him fresh and healthy. Back to back #1 seeds says the strategy works. And Ginobili and Duncan still got hurt in 2011 DESPITE sitting several games.

Pop commands respect in a league where coaches get none..

heard we interested in josh smith

Spurs hate is thick. I'm laughing at ****** really clowning the Spurs for being the #1 seed and going to the WCF finals. Like, its hard enuff just to get to the WCF. Yall niccas favorite teams WISH they could have consecutive promising seasons like the Spurs. Spurs rebuild on the fly. Respect it.

#Spurs2012

I dont get it either...

Hell the spurs front office deserves respect for getting rid of richard jefferson...

He just couldnt play wit tony parker...

And getting leonard was grand theft auto....

That will pay off dividends

word, the chemistry between him and TP wasn't there. leonard pickup is so underrated. dude plays D and now can give u buckets and boards too.

**** dead azz kills me. Like dudes have the nerve to clown a team that you KNOW is a potential contender every year. ima cowboys fan and i wish they were half of what the spurs are. i dead azz can choose to not watch the NBA until the end of March knowing full well my Spurs gonna be in the playoff hunt every year. and dudes wanna clown em because they not in the finals every year?

I'll take consecutive WCF appearances/being the #1 seed over missing the playoffs

I don't hate the spurs at all always been a fan of parker and I been a fan of duncan since wake forest,I made one comment and ****** caught feelings cuz the truth hurts

You aint did **** but win a bunch of regular season games these last few years you're the bulls of the west.

He is the future. That's what we should start calling him...Future.

so you concede that "doing shitt" would be winning an NBA championship right? so in that case, all the NBA teams in the league aint doing shitt except for one?

Spurs have 4 chips, ****** acting like we never tasted gold, so all this playoff flameout talk is bullshit

In the playoffs, superstars almost always carry the day



I don't think the Spurs have that one guy on their team who can take over and put them over the top (with Duncan having declined). I think it's why they came up short the last few years.


The way they function as a unit is impressive, and I really like what they've done by bringing in young guys like Leonard. But in hotly-contested playoff series, I don't think they have enough.
