    How much did Ginobili get paid to be a sixth man

    I wonder, even if we have to win on Thursday, if we should rest Nurk and CJ. GTJ and Hassan can handle things for one game, I would hope.

    Exactly. Hasan blocks shots . Nurkic gets scored on or gets called for a foul. He is very slow with his feet

    That was a true veteran performance. I give him props. He honestly kept us in it in the first half.

    I would rather have some help and be able to rest the entire starting unit plus Trent and Hassan.

    Nurk is obviously still getting into real game shape. He was playing well but now he is nursing all those bumps and bruises.
    Nurk will be fine if he can get a couple days off and continue to get in better shape.

    Kind of think the same thing is going on with Collins.

    It's a must win game, all hands on deck. That being said, I think if we get a chance we should get guys rest and if CJ looks as bad as he did today, send him to the locker room for treatment. Definitely don't play him forty fucking minutes.

    If they get some help it won't be a must win.
    The rest is much needed right now. Obviously CJ needs to sit. Nurk looks like he needs it. We all know Dame needs it.

    Your GTJ take was as good as your Melo take was bad.

    Funny thing is Stotts literally went the Trent early and started him in the 3rd.

    Yeh, I hope there will be some apologies from those who said he was suffering from a hurt ego.

    Trent was fantastic on Luka. Great job resting him when Luka was out so he could give max energy slowing him down.

    That's a good idea; maybe we would discover we play better without him at all!
