obviously, we all know that pop is (and always has) doing what he can to limit the minutes for the big 3.
but, i still found this interesting re: Duncan's minutes.
Despite Dirk missing 9 games (and being ejected early in a 10th) - Dirk & Tim have played the exact same number of minutes this year (with Dallas & San Antonio each having played 54 games).
So Pop's management of Duncan's minutes has led to the rough equivalent of getting 10 games off compared to (at least one of) his peers.
