Key comments -

“No disrespect to my young teammates, but I don’t care how good they’re playing,” All-Star point guard Tony Parker said. “I’ll play with Manu any time of the day, even if he’s 50 percent...”


“We need Manu bad,” Parker said. “If we want to go anywhere — anywhere — in the playoffs, we need Manu 100 percent. It’s not even a question.”

Tony Parker had a nice little tidbit -

“Maybe it screws us up for a while, maybe it doesn’t,” coach Gregg Popovich said.

But.

It has to be done. The alternative — not reintegrating Ginobili — is too absurd even for words.

“No disrespect to my young teammates, but I don’t care how good they’re playing,” All-Star point guard Tony Parker said. “I’ll play with Manu any time of the day, even if he’s 50 percent.”

Manu fans and Tony fans play nice, now. (I'm looking at you ducks )

take out richard jefferson mins

Put RJ on the bench, move Leonard to SF and start Ginobili, take him out around 6:30 remaining and insert him in with RJ around 2 minutes to give Parker and Leonard a rest

Bring Manu off the bench until TJ Ford is healthy. That gives a serviceable backup ball handler to give Tony more rest than he's been receiving. Once TJ comes back, Manu should be fully recovered and you can enter him in SL.
