Pops playing mind tricks. Sitting Duncan out. It makes sense since he's too old and probably slow the team down. But if the Spurs win he can mindfuck the warriors in that they won without Duncan and if the Spurs lose he can use Duncan not playing as an excuse.
I love how Kerr said, "Duncan is 57 years old....he deserves a night off!"Spurs are so deep they can actually sit Duncan, Parker or Manu and still be effective against the best teams in the league.Now, Warriors are no joke and I take nothing from them. I actually wish Timmy was playing. It'll be a fun game.
Honestly the Warriors should play mind games back. Choose to rest Curry and Thompson. Don't give the spurs any edge in the game. They lose and so what.
