Spurs resting big 3 today against heat

looks like Patty has missed an opportunity here. might be relegated down the order for back up PG. probably just ahead of Corey Joseph.

Miami were lucky to get away with that win, Spurs should have won, they had a 5pt lead with under 2min to go. Mills missed the shot to tie the game.
Mills 1/7 from 3.

1:4 assist to turnover ratio isn't a good look :(

It's an interesting discussion.

I don't agree with sanctions, but I don't like Pop's decision.

Playing their main 3 for 5 road games then sending them home before the last one - a bit of a middle finger to fans who've paid money to come watch that game. Sure, they still get to see "Miami vs San Antonio", but the NBA is a star-oriented league.

If people rock up to see the Heat host the Spurs, they (mostly) want to see Wade, James and Bosh go up against Duncan, Parker and Ginobli.

Not only that, it's only a month into the season. Why would you rest players a month into the season?! a month out from playoffs, maybe - a week before playoffs, sure. But a month in, these guys should have enough in the tank to do a 6 game road trip then play the next home game. Even if their main guys play restricted minutes, that's better than sending them home completely.

Spurs lead Miami at the end of 1st quarter. Mills had a crap start, other guards doing much better, looks like he blew a good chance to have a big game in the first quarter.

It'll be good fodder for mind games if they meet in the finals... "sure Miami beat us in November, but we didn't have our 3 best players on the court."

King James,

Nailed it mate. Chances of the Spurs knocking of Miami in Miami are pretty slim. Beating Memphis in San Antonio is not only more likely, its far more important. Rest up the old stars and throw everything in a game with a lot more on the line is the smart way to go.

Why the hell would he rotate all 3 in the same game?? It's not about playing his bench because he could do that any time he wanted....it's not hard to sit your starters.
Makes no sense. Surely you rest one at a time to maximise your chances of winning.
I think his guard rotations this year are strange, especially after Mills' finish to last year.
But then again Mills needs to learn to pass the ball a bit more if he wants to play more minutes. 6 foot shooting guards aren't going to play much.
