    I'm more curious as to why they were benched? I'm sure Pop isn't dumb enough to not realize how hard Portland is @ home - and he's gonna crush his teams hot streak with a blowout loss - which will def carry over to their next few games. Not worth it at all, imo

    Popovich has done this the last few years during the rodeo swing. I can at least think of the past 3 years for sure. This isn't unusual. Anytime you bet the Spurs, you better check the lines prior to tip. The Mav's rested Dirk 5 games this year to get him in game shape? WTF? I always thought you got into game shape by playing? Miami did it last year and so did Utah.

    Yep, he's known for this stuff. Announcing close to gametime that he's sitting everybody.

    not benched...parker and duncan were rested for this one game. it was first said during the coach and media pre game meeting about an hour or so b4 the game. Pop does this every now in again..not so sure why as home fcourt in the nba playoffs is precious. he is one of the best coaches in the league so its his call...it does suck for bookies, punters and gamblers though.

    Best has been for many years the go to spot for line updates as far as the quickest to get them and get them right. When the ping noise is heard you must focus on the screen lol

    I don't think he cares. The players health and freshness is more important.

    He basically forfeited this game.
