Will pop rest anyone? I have to believe he'll enjoy this one and come at full strength. But it wouldn't surprise me if he rested some just to downplay the result.
I don't think it's an all or nothing proposition on who plays and who doesn't.
He might come at them with the entire team, but maybe Tim and Tony only play 20 minutes. Maybe he experiments with ultra small or ultra big lineups just to see what they look like against GS.
I would like to see the Spurs come out and play a competitive, playoff type game, but if we do that and lose, there's no telling what it would do for our confidence, or worse, for the Warriors confidence.
Plying the Warriors right now sort of feels like a not much to gain, lots to lose proposition.
That April home date might be the difference between home court against them, though. That would be an important game to win.

I'm not expecting either team to tip their hand. Kerr will stick to GSW's well-documented sets, and so will Pop.
I expect both teams to play hard while they're out there on the court, but in SA's case, if we fall behind by 15 or so in the second half, I think Pop will wave the white flag as soon as he can get away with it.
Honestly, I expect the Warriors to lend more gravitas to this game than we will.

I think Spurs play a number of sets. Both teams will test some theories. But really, I think it's the Spurs who are easily the more adaptable team. We can throw several lineups that are challenging. Warriors have 1. It's the one where Curry drops 5 3s from anywhere on the court.
Spurs will test lineups. We could lose by 30 and it mean nothing, nor will I worry more. Ginobli said it best earlier this season. It's about us right now. What's the best us that we can be.

The spurs will try to win for sure. Pop even said this game will be big for the guys. But in the end, it's still just one game.

The difference between being 1 game back and being 3 games back is pretty big when you're talking about a team that has lost 4 games this season.
Seems like Patty, ginobli, and Diaw are best buds.
1st time in league history to have 2 teams with 35+ wins after 41 games. Go Spurs Go!!

INJURY REPORT - Tim Duncan (soreness, right knee) is out for tomorrow's Spurs-Warriors game.
It seems like Timmy's knee has been bugging him more this year.
Or they're just using it as an excuse more this year.

Damn
West gets the start then?
This isn't a good matchup for Timmy anyway. West and Diaw are plenty big enough to punish the Warriors down low, and more mobile on the perimeter.
Pop throwing in the towel already.

This.
I think Pop is just giving himself an excuse to experiment with some different small lineups. I'm sure in a future game he'll experiment with some big-big lineups as well.
Lineups I want to see:
Parker-Leonard-Diaw-West-Aldridge
Mills-Anderson-Simmons-Butler-Diaw
Parker-Mills-Ginobili-Anderson-Leonard
Ginobili-Simmons-Green-Leonard-Diaw
Parker-Mills-Ginobili-Diaw-West
Parker-Leonard-Diaw-West-Aldridge
Mills-Anderson-Simmons-Butler-Diaw
Parker-Mills-Ginobili-Anderson-Leonard
Ginobili-Simmons-Green-Leonard-Diaw
Parker-Mills-Ginobili-Diaw-West
Imo Tim has looked a step slower so far this year compared to last. I hope it's an injury and not age finally catching up to him.
If we're throwing out random lineups.
Tony-Green-Simmons-Leonard-Diaw/Aldridge
Mills-ginobli-Simmons-Diaw-Aldridge
Tony-Green-Simmons-Leonard-Diaw/Aldridge
Mills-ginobli-Simmons-Diaw-Aldridge
I want Pop to play Manu play one vs five just to see what kind of crazy stuff Manu would try.
Just for fun lineups:
Diaw-Bonner-West-Aldridge-Boban
Parker-Mills-McCallum-Ginobili-Anderson
Anderson-Simmons-Butler-Bonner-Boban
Diaw-Bonner-West-Aldridge-Boban
Parker-Mills-McCallum-Ginobili-Anderson
Anderson-Simmons-Butler-Bonner-Boban

If the Spurs are in a situation where they could win 72, do you think Pop goes for it?
Spurs opened +3 and the line has moved to +4 1/2.

There are multiple NBA reporters who say Pop has a different mindset about home court after the Clippers series last year.
We had the chance to close that series out at home. Home court wasn't as big of a factor as the health of TP and Splitter.
I don't think he'll worry about it a ton until close to the end of the season.
Clippers lose, OKC down double digits in the third.
Granted we have to win tomorrow for it to matter.
