<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post"> Three seasons ago, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich replaced Manu Ginobili in the starting lineup with Hedo Turkoglu in an effort to boost Turkoglu's confidence. At the time, Popovich might as well have announced he was removing steak from the menu of every restaurant in Argentina. In addition to their love for all things beef, Argentines share a deep passion for Ginobili, and Popovich's decision didn't settle well in their stomachs. In the weeks that followed, Spurs officials and San Antonio media members received a torrent of e-mails from the South American country questioning Popovich's sanity, as well as a few of his other mental faculties. So it came as a surprise last month that when Popovich again asked his frenetic guard to go to the bench to help the team, nary a complaint was heard from Ginobili's countrymen. "They got used to it, too; I'm not the only one," Ginobili said, laughing. "Before they took it like it was degrading. I tried to explain it to them, but I guess they didn't understand it at that point. "But with time, after a championship season, they realize I'm doing good coming from the bench, too. They just don't care." Ginobili insisted he also doesn't mind. What matters, he said, is the Spurs have won six consecutive games and are playing their best ball of the season. </div> Source
