Our biggest asset during the winning streak was our conditioning...the league has caught up as far as players in game shape and we aren't fresher then anybody...especially with the short rotation.

There was no need to run felton all those minites and play prigs 10 mins..felton clearly was running out of gas, and the misses didn't help his energy either

Thats Twice so far this season where woodson has shorten his rotation and it back fired, he said after the dallas game that he made a mistake doing that.

There's no reason not to play 10 guys a night on this roster, 1 through 12 is capable of giving quality minutes..there's a lot of versatility/2 postion players

I miss those Prigs to Copeland lob plays. I need to see me some Krazy Eyes.

Whats not to trust, when has running your player into the ground benefited anyone..

I rather have my starter fresher at the end of the game, besides my starter is playing like crap, trigger happy and the defense is forcing him (5 TO's) to do dumb sht..

It's not like he did a lin impression (24 points 10 ast 6 TO's) he played like crap all the way around

That's not entirely true. Prigs is good enough to make the pass to guys cutting to the basket or feed the post, or PnR. It's just a matter of who you have in there with him. You can't put a mostly perimeter line up in there and expect anything else.

I think Prigs will look a lot better with Amar'e- unfortunately he just doesn't seem to fit well with the guys he plays with.

Back injuries are completely unpredictable- sometimes spasm just go away, so I'm hoping that's what happens. Hmm, It's been 4 weeks since Amar'es operation, so I guess that leaves 2 to 4 weeks til he's back if there are no setbacks.

Amar'e will be back mid to late December. I suspect he will play the christmas game.

If Greg Popovich can play 10 or 11 guys a night regularly, Woodson should too. Not comparing the two coaches, just saying it keeps the older vets fresh and more productive with lesser minutes.

Not sure if it is fair to compare one of the best coaches of all time with Woody...
Also Spurs team is together forever and we are just assembled this summer.
If we can continue to have winning % like we have now it will be a miracle.

If you re-read my post I never compared the two.

Just that they are similiar situations with older vets, and should maximize their deep roster to keep everyone fresh.
