Rotations and the Return of Nick the Brick


We've got a big feature coming from a guest contributor pretty soon....so yeah, tune in.

In other news, the Spurs are rolling with 10 straight wins. The rough part is yet to come, however, with a stretch of 6 of 7 games against playoff-quality opponents looming (including Phoenix, Boston, and Denver twice). Pop has yet to set a rotation, but it looks more and more like Kurt Thomas is going to get the starting nod for the rest of the season. With Parker back, it looks like Ginobili will go back to the bench.

Damon Stoudamire has stolen a lot of Jacque Vaughn's backup minutes, but hasn't done anything to deserve them. Meager Mouse has shot 31.2% since becoming a Spur, including 4-21 in their last 5 games. I don't want to say it, but he's looking more and more like the second coming of Nick Van Exel...he sucks all year but Popovich expects him to come up big in the playoffs only to watch him brick every shot he takes.
