    And the Spurs will still be plenty dangerous. Teams take them lightly when they do this.

    We should rest Batum and Matthews, unless needed.

    Terry would never do that. He's closer to Thibs than Pop in that regard.

    Good. Regular season is about winning as many games as possible to get into playoffs. The test games are in the playoffs. Beating a full Spurs team in regular season means nothing.

    Best part: Hollinger-bot doesn't account for this in Strength of Schedule.

    This should be a win. Hopefully our boys remain focused and go for the jugular!

    All right fans! I'm ready for tipoff, those east coast games I have to miss the first half so I'm glad to get to listen to a whole game tonight. Pops can sit anyone he wants, that's why the Spurs have a capable bench. Sucks for fans, especially kids who want to see the stars play. Seems to me that this is the year the Spurs start to drop off from a long season. Age has to catch up with them eventually. Pop is saving them for the playoffs. From a basketball sense it's probably a smart move but from a fans view, it's a real letdown.
