It wasn't really about Tony Parker.

The message was for everyone else (other than Manu and Timmy). Pop was perfectly willing to risk losing a game to reinforce the point that everyone is expected to play hard on the defensive end; if one of the Big 3 can be benched for a defensive lapse -- not a physical error, but a mental error -- anyone can be benched. Now the Gary Neals and James Andersons of the world know that. I'm sure it made an impression.

It's entirely about a larger point. Tomorrow night in Minnesota, if the game is close in the late 4th, Tony Parker will be there.

This!

The Spurs' have always been coachable, and that starts at the top. Tim gets yelled at.... TIM DUNCAN. I'm not talking about 2010 Tim Duncan, or rookie Tim Duncan, but league MVP, bad ass stone cold killer Tim Duncan. People coming over to the Spurs who hold the notion they are above reprimand are soon shown the light. That makes the team better from bottom up.

Tony knows.

kinda like last season when he was dealing with injuries and never said anything. Also ginobili is probably the only player that will be put in any clutch situation regardless, their have been times when duncan sits on a few plays either because of his free throw shooting or because the team needs a 3.

Are you talking about 2003? :depressed :lol

If not, please give us some examples...

Pop has also kept Tim and Manu in the bench at the end of tight games this season, I think that this season he will go (a lot of times) with whoever is playing better at the moment.

Pop should save some of that stick for Hill.
