Ginobilli a little hurt. Duncan and Parker tired. But I think he is sitting them because he doesnt want to get crushed by a big Western rival and have his team lose confidence on this huge roadtrip they are on.

this is hilarious.

Your thinking looks right to me Panic. Sit the whole team so they won't be deflated by a huge loss.

Here you go: (Pop is a pussy)

No Tim Duncan. No Tony Parker. No Manu Ginobili. That's all that will be missing from the Spurs' lineup tonight at Denver.

A night after the Spurs expended so much energy to get past Golden State in overtime, coach Gregg Popovich just informed the gathered media that he plans to rest each and every member of his Big Three.

The decision on Ginobili comes with a bit of an injury concern. He suffered a left hip contusion taking a fall against the Warriors. With three days off after tonight, Popovich felt it was best to give him the night off.

As for Duncan and Parker, the Spurs' top two scorers? They're just getting the night off "for a variety of reasons," Popovich said.

"Parker makes the All-Star team, becomes hard to deal with, so we're going to sit him and teach him a lesson," Popovich joked. "Duncan says he wants to renegotiate his contract, so I said, 'Sit, I'm not talking to you.' "

Though Popovich wouldn't say so, it's worth wondering if this new and not-so-improved rotation is meant to send a message to the league scheduling wizards, who sent the Spurs to Denver by way of Oakland.

After Monday's overtime win, the Spurs did not lay their heads on their pillows in Denver until close to 4 a.m. Ragged and facing an uphill battle against the Nuggets anyway, Popovich has apparently opted to steal an extra day of rest for his most important players.
