People are putting way too much stock in this "The Spurs lose to winning teams" thing. Pop's policy has always been to stockpile wins against shitty teams and don't overextend players in close regular season games.

People put way too much stock in pops policy then, if you ask me. Was losing in the first round last year just part of pops master plan for this season?

You live by it, you die by it.

Resting people and "taking it easy" in the regular season paid off in 2013 and 2014. Last year, not so much.

They're on the Rodeo Road Trip right now. I have no problems mailing it in against the Clips with the Lakers, Suns and Kings up next.

[verb_to_trust]

The Bulls beat the Spurs. Explain that.

[verb_to_trust]

Spurs fans are the St Louis Cardinal fans of the NBA.

[nyquillyn]

I don't follow baseball, so I don't really know what that means.

It's been my experience that Spurs fans are generally pretty knowledgeable and dedicated. But then again all I have to compare them to is idiot Suns fans and a few Bulls fans in my family.

I just fin d it convenient that Spurs fans can put every loss on some sort of savvy pop is a genius shit.

You're right. He's not an inferior coach who has had less success.

Fitting that on the day I read about how Stephanie is going to add a post game to his arsenal Dame shits on him for 51 points in 31 minutes of action.

[nyquillyn]

Spurs @ Suns today. Would like to go, but two kiddos are sick.

[verb_to_trust]

Pops got his starters back in with instructions to get the win I bet.

[nyquillyn]

Ugh. That was basically unwatchable. Glad I didn't go.
