Malone did the right thing we were not getting blown away and it means he has 4 fouls to use in the 2nd half, if the game was getting out of hand than you have to put him back in otherwise since he has not shown he can't play without fouling it's a good move to save him for the 2nd.

I'm guessing this one does not get rescinded.

I think its more of a case of saving Cuz for the second half! Team did a good enough job without him so there was no big urgency to bring him back in!

Someone on a Spurs forum:
"and give the Kings some props, they're playing at their peak now..."
lol, I hope he means our overall season and not that last run in the 2nd quarter. We've played better basketball this season.

With a perfectly cromulent name like 'Mills,' you shouldn't be surprised.
No, I think Malone was pissed. DMC has to learn consequences and the relationship between Malone and Cousins is strong enough that Malone can make his point. My best guess is Cousins will be in full beast mode in the second half.

Btw, Malone's substitutions were spaced out MUCH better. There was definitely a noticeable impact having a starter on the floor (almost) at all times.
You put him back in, and Spurs start going at him, plus he was really agitated. Team played well with Rudy and Darren leading offense and everyone was alert on D, so Malone took a calculated risk. Now Boogie can come in and have 4 fouls to play out 16-18 minutes - Kings need him at the end of the game.
Also out-rebounded the Spurs 20-18 and out-assisted the Spurs 11-9 and held the Spurs to 39% from the floor. All good numbers against a top team.

Aside from playing Williams, Malone held his own against the best in the NBA in the first half, having D-Will guard Diaw is just silly but. The last thing you want is Diaw besting someone in the post and making passes from the post.

Up 7 DMC only 9 min is good but I'm begging you boogie begging you please don't pick up your 3rd until under 3 to go in the 3rd.
I think the main thing was that Sessions and Nik only played 4 minutes each. We can do that at times but asking Collison and Ben to play 40 minutes each game would be a tough thing to do
Amir Johnson?
His role has been minimized this year. Millsap and Monroe would be nice options too. FAs at the end of this year
Hrmm... According to Kayte, Pop didn't call any timeouts during that run because he didn't have any?
Would they take Williams and Evans for him?Amir Johnson?

Spurs look a bit gassed, to tell the truth. Just a bit flat. I'll take it though.
I feel like Charlie Brown trying to kick the football. After the Mavs loss I said I wouldn't watch the Memphis game. After the Memphis debacle I said I wouldn't watch tonight. And yet, here I am.

Smart move by Pop to start Bonner, forces JT off Duncan, among other things.

I'd like to see him finish the game, with no more than 4
Well, that's one explanation.
I prefer my explanation.And look - it's the BEAST.
Maybe we can somehow lure Ibaka here?
