Benching Parker in 4th Quarter

[ginobilized]

Was Pop just rolling the dice in a blowout or making a huge statement by pulling Tony?
Not letting TP finish with Duncan and Ginobili seemed telling to me. What does the braintrust of Spurstalk think?

[MAxEric]

Because TP is done in game 6!

[spurs10]

TP had his chances.

Just letting Tim and Manu play their last minutes tbh.. Because Manu surely didn't outplay Tony in game 6 to deserve the crunch time minutes

[loveforthegame]

Pop just resting him for the French team this summer.

Implying there is any rhyme or reason to Pop's bullshit.

Poop was just shielding his boyfriend from the humiliation of another fourth-quarter playoff choke, tbh.

[Ron Swanson]

He had to get up early to shoot for another Tissot ad.

You can say that again. Parker left the 1st quarter with the Spurs leading 19-13. Enter Ginobili!!!! The Spurs didn't score a single point until he was benched in the 2nd quarter.

i thought it was to let the near retirees have one more shot at glory out there, especially since we're stuck with Parker.

probably just this though.

In that first stint, TP had zero points, zero assists, 1 TO, one steal.

Tim, Kawhi, and LMA built that lead.

You also conveniently leave out the fact that Manu, Mills, and West were subbed in for Green, TP, and Tim. I agree that the bench was awful, but don't act like TP was some amazing playmaker out there.

Isn't it nuts that our bench was the best by far during the regular season, and it totally stunk it up come the 2nd round.

Bad matchup. Can't ask Mills or Manu to guard KD and DWest to guard Adams. That was a 12-0 run.

Most teams don't have a 6'11" SF tho. :lol

Lists himself as 6'9" :rolleyes
