Pop decided to rest ALL his players against the Oklahoma City Thunder Saturday, and after dropping two games this past week (including that game against the Thunder), it looks like the Spurs will be perfectly happy with entering the playoffs as the 2nd seed in the Western Conference.
Getting healthy will clearly be the focal point for the Spurs in the final weeks of the season, as it should be. Though, it’ll be interesting to see what Pop does the next two times the Spurs-Warriors meet (in the regular season).

Despite knocking off the Golden State Warriors last week, it appears that Gregg Popovich is beginning to waive the white flag when it comes to them potentially chasing the Warriors in pursuit of homecourt advantage throughout the playoffs.
