Will Spurs' coach Gregg Popovich sit starters again tonight at MSG like he did at Miami 5 weeks ago to the day?...Similar situation as this is a 4th game in 5 nights like it was at Miami, on a THUR, although, maybe due to the Bowl games, TNT is not covering games Nationally tonight as the Miami game was a TNT game...
I read this online article, so it would seem as though Popovich may not do it this time:

Not as much travel this time as there was last time either...Spurs were concluding a 6-game Road trip 5 weeks ago when Pop sent 4 starters home instead of to Miami...This time the Spurs played at DAL, then had a Home game, now away to Milwaukee and NY...Not as bad and the starters got rest the first 2 games of this 4-game stint as they didn't even play the 4th quarter in those 2 games because the Spurs were murdering DAL and BKN...They were up 23 at MILW, too, in the 2H, before the Bucks made a run and Pop had to put the starters back in...
So if all the starters are available tonight for the Spurs, I like SA as a play here...Some details on why later, but if anyone hears about Pop sitting starters tonight, post a Comment on my blog because I am at work tonight and won't see the pregame show on DirecTv like I could if I was at Home...
