playoff minutes

I wasn't speaking bad about a poster. I was speaking bad about Amare. And he is uneducated. Did he go to college? I'm sure he wouldn't even have been able to graduate from high school if he wasn't given the grades because of his ability to play ball.

You mean like Parker and Ginobili, guys who started their pro careers around 17 ? Why don't you go troll somewhere else ?

 

[peewee's lovechild]

Tony Parker and Ginobili go to college? Oberto?

OWNED!!!

They have some championship rings that Amare could only wish he would have.

 

[da_suns_fan]

They went to international colleges and have PHDs.

This "international" school is the same place where you got your education, no doubt.

I'm not from another country. I got my degree here in the states.

Tony Parker went to the National Institute for Sports and Physical Education

Manu did not go to school.

I call BS.

Are you trying to talk smack about international schools?

So, Oxford is a lesser schoold because it's located outside the U.S.?

You do know what Oxford is, don't you?

Just in case you don't know about Oxford:

I don't even think thats a college. Parker went there when he was fifteen.

I quoted "international" because these colleges that Manu and Parker went to don't exist.

It's a very underrated college. They have 12 doctoral programs.

Bill Gates never went to college, is he uneducated?

How is what your saying anything more but trollis behavior? Calling Amare ghetto trash isn't the type of behavior we allow here.

Spurs fans are in full panic mode.

Actually he went to Harvard.

I used the phrase ghetto trash because I'm more than sure the N word, which is more fitting, isn't allowed here.

 

[da_suns_fan]

I think he dropped out IIRC.

Wow, this thread deviated quickly.

Anyways, everyone will be receiving increased minutes, obviously, but I don't know if it will be as increased as everyone might think. Hill is coming off that groin tweak, and Amare has been sick lately. I think that it will be very important to keep Amare and Steve rested up, so we'll definitely try to sneak some rest in for those two whenever we can. If those two go out, Shaq has shown that he can stay in and let the offense run through him. In regards to his minutes, I would be happy with anything over thirty, but I would be ecstatic with anything near forty. I know in his prime with the Lakers he was able to play entire playoff games with little or no breaks, so maybe he can channel some of those energies.

Skinner can play a big role in absorbing some fouls if Amare and Shaq are out at the same time, D'antoni seems to have gained some confidence in him lately.

so, if you could, you'd call Amare an N-bomb? Yeah, but Amare's the trash.

Pot, this is kettle, you're black.

 

[Kody Rumin]

You guys should just ignore the Spurs trolls. They would already be gone if they didn't get a reaction from their posts.

Back to playoff minutes...

I would be very curious to see if Johnson comes out to play a little defense on the perimeter if Grant Hill is in foul trouble or still hurting from his groin injury.

I expect to see the same minutes as the regular season. DJ, Skinner, and others won't sniff the court unless there is foul trouble. I just hope that Gordon sees more minutes than LB - since LB has never learned that driving against the Spurs is suicide. They end up blocking his shot, stealing the ball, or forcing a turnover about 80% of the time he drives into the lane. That kind of crap needs to stop during this matchup. LB is a solid performer, but the Spurs own him.

 

[Hat]

This is how I think it will breakdown:

Shaq - 28-30 minutes
Amare - 35-38 (could play 40 barring foul trouble)
Nash - 30-35
Bell - 35-38 (can go down to 20 if GG and LB doing good)
Hill - 30

Diaw - 18-20
LB - 16-18 (30 if having a good game)
GG - 16-18
Skinner - ?? (probably not needed)

Wow, not only are Spurs fans dirty, trash-talking, uneducated pieces of s.hit, but they are also biggots now! The complete package!!!

 

[az1965]

BOLD PREDICTION: Skinner won't play unless Amare and Shaq are in foul trouble.

Marks and Strawberry won't play unless its a blowout.

Yep... pretty much how D'Antoni uses his rotation.

Barbosa will get more than 18 min.
