It'll be Joseph unless he's done something to lose the job from last year. I'd love to see Mills get more time as well but Joseph might get the Bonner treatment and get to play anyway.
Also, I think we can all guarantee that Indiana/SA won't happen because Stern would never allow it. 2 smaller markets running their programs well isn't going to sell as far as the NBA is concerned. Questionable officiating will fix any chances of that.
I am looking forward to a Bulls/Pacers matchup in the playoffs though.

It would be the second ABA finals if that were to happen.

Didn't Stern just retire?
He's done in the beginning of next year I believe.
CoJo will be the back up PG. Mills can shoot the lights out, but he doesn't run the offense very well and he's a poor defender. Joseph isn't a great scorer, but he can initiate the O and plays good D. More than likely we'll continue to see Manu bringing the ball up, as well as Bellineli taking over some of that duty with the second group.

Ok I just remember during the draft Hakeem coming out to give him a farewell.
Feb. 1 is his retiring date.
Joseph will probably get first crack but Mills will get his chance this season. Those two will alternate IMO. Mills has some trouble initiating the offense but when you put him out there with Manu and Marco next to him he doesn't need to do much of that anyway. He also put on some weight and built some strength so he isn't getting pushed around in the half-court. Joseph has a great NBA PG body and that's one of the big advantages he has.
Well see how Pop plays the rotation tonight. Can't take too much away from what he does in the first game but it will still be interesting.
Obviously the original starting 5.
Manu and Boris first off the bench for Danny and Tiago.
After that it will be interesting to see who Belinelli subs in for. He could sub in for Tony and Pop could roll with the Marco-Manu backcourt or he could sub him in for Leonard and move Manu to the 3 and insert a backup PG.
Problem with the latter is it seems Ayres might be in line to be the 4th big and a three guard lineup with Boris-Ayres as your front-court leaves you pretty small overall.

I can't see Ayers getting that much playing time. I would hope Baynes gets the nod as our 4th big.
Wouldn't hold your breath. I just don't see it happening with how the pre-season minutes were allocated. I definitely think Baynes needs more time as iv'e said many times throughout this thread but not sure Pop feels the same way.
From what I saw out of the preseason, Baynes did so many things better than Ayres. Plus he has a year of the system under his belt. I don't know. Can't wait for tonight in any case.
Anybody but Bonner.

In think with Howard being in the division now, plus the Griz, I think Baynes gets a decent amount of pt. Gotta be able to bang in the paint an still conserve Duncan and Splitter for the playoffs.
Also, anyone but Bonner applies in all situations.

Spurs/Memphis picking up where they left off in the WCF. First half in the books and the Spurs are making it look really easy.
Dang, Spurs clamped down with the D in the 2nd quarter, allowing only 7 points.
Weird not to see Budenholzer next to Pop. I googled his name to spell it right and saw where he was arrested back in August for DUI.
I watch spurs games for the heb commercials. Kawhi added to the rotation was a great offseason move
Mills looked great, especially in the first half. Belli made some great passes and was cheated out of 4 or 5 additional assists. It's going to be fun to watch him and Manu get up and down this year.
Parker looked like crap. Diaw looked good. Second half defense was poor (mainly because Duncan was out). I thought Tiago did some nice things. Was kind of surprised Bonner was our first big off of the bench. He played decent though.

1. Bonner first big off the bench big thumbs down. Nice to see he wasn't in the second half. Still very worrisome considering we've had so much change to our assistant coaches. Hope they weren't the ones keeping him on the pine when it mattered.
2. Nice to see Mills off the bench first at the backup PG spot and play extremely well. He should continue to get his chances. The Mills-Marco-Manu lineup is extremely fun to watch but also has some disadvantages to it.
3. Duncan left with a chest bruise when Tony Allen threw his elbow into Tim on a layup attempt. Tim should be fine going forward and it isn't serious.

Parker just announced he's expecting a baby boy with the Frenchy. So a Parker-Ginobili-Duncan big 3 is still a possibility 20 years from now.
Rumors are Duncan is now dating Vanessa Macias. They have been seen around town together lately.
Also rumors that Duncan's chest contusion could actually be a broken rib. Lets hope that isn't true. Timetable for that is usually around 4 weeks.

The dirt is just being dished on the Spurs thread today.
Good news.

Looks like Tim won't play Friday but he did make the trip so he could play Saturday on the second night of the b2b.

Spurs forward Tim Duncan underwent a CT scan this morning in San Antonio which confirmed that he has a chest contusion. He suffered the injury during the third quarter of last night's Spurs-Grizzlies game. His status is day-to-day and he is listed as doubtful for Friday night's Spurs-Lakers game. Duncan will travel with the team this afternoon when the Spurs depart for a three-game trip that begins in Los Angeles.
Nando's such a weirdo.
Duncan officially out tonight (as expected).

Offense looks like dog****.
Spurs ice cold so far tonight
Playing like we flew out there right before the game. Need to make those open shots.
