oh my god im so sick of this....sorry, everyone at my work is like oh the spurs threw the game to make more money by playing another home game. we came back against the lakers 2 years ago down 3-1. they will make significantly less money if they choke this away and let us come back and take the series.

There is no way Pop throws a game.

They obviously didn't care much about the game. They threw in the towel in the third quarter. Hopefully it bites them in the you know what. Piss them off some more and bring them back for game 6.

Pop throws games every year. There is a reason why the Spurs never have the best regular season record.

He probably didn't throw that one, but once he saw he would not win he stop trying and gave his starters some rest.

Elimination games are always the toughest for the superior team to close out. Im not expecting a blowout tonight either.

Popovich sat his starters to conserve some energy for the next game as well as use that "sitting time" as live game scouting of the Suns. The guy is smart. He didnt win 4 titles because hes a slouch.

Theyve still gotta be odds on favs to win the title this year. I think tonight they close out.

Dumb thread Pop isnt't throwing games. Anyway tonight should be a good game the Suns won't go down easy but I expect the Spurs to come out hard as they don't want an extended series. A win tonight could seriously shift the momentum of this series for the Suns!

If the Suns can come in tonight and blow them out, that might actually turn the Series around. They need another convincing win.
