How about the reason to pretend that Ginobili is seriously hurt is to make it easier for the Spurs to get a 'big' trade done?
oh no! why did Manu leave the house without his "proteccion"??
seriously... this really ing sucks!

can't see any sense to leak such a rumor. what would this help?
NOooooOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! This cant be true... I dont understand what happened...was it in the Toronto game or something?
Yes, I can confirm that we were originally told of the possibility of the seriousness of the injury prior to last night's game. While watching the game, I had that same feeling.
That possibility may explain Tony Parker's fazed look throughout the entire game last night. Maybe the rest of the team already knows...
Can't really blame them, if true.
Even a broken ankle could probably heal before the season is over. I'm guessing a tear.
well, there goes the season..it doesn't matter if Manu can even play, he has to be HEALTHY for us to go far..
it's ed up how the Boston was was the peak of our season..we were all happy since that game, we all believed we finally emerged as true contenders, it was a great effort....and since that game, everything has gone downhill..losses to Toronto and New York, and now Manu might be out for the season..
what a blow..
The Spurs looked awfully flat yesterday against the Knicks... surely this is really weighing on the team...
Get well Manu...
I am hoping that this isn't true and is a ploy to help trade a decent player without dismantling the big 3. I wanna see doctors reports!!!
How does Ginobili's injury help the Spurs make a big trade? Doesn't it just make the Spurs look that much more desperate to land a big player like Carter?
Timvp,
You're right...that makes little sense.
I know you are somewhat close to the situation. But are you saying the Spurs were trying to trade Manu?
wait, wait so you heard this last night. and you didn't hear anything new since then???
this is some freaky
:pray
And hoping for the best.
First of all, I just want to reiterate that this isn't 100% that he's out.
When timvp and I heard from two people yesterday (one very good source/one relatively close source) that the injury was "most likely" season-ending, I didn't post it here because I'm not someone who is going to start a firestorm of incorrect rumors.
However, after a few more people said it today and the Yahoo article came out saying GMs were speculating a more serious injury, then we decided it was thread worthy.
Nothing is completely concrete at this point. As Spurs fans, we can just hope (or pray) that the speculation is off-base and that Manu will recover quickly. I'm sure it will be a couple days time before anything is confirmed one way or the other.
There are people who are still insisting that the injury is minor but that the Spurs are worried about it, so resting him while he goes through some tests.
A similar thought occurred to me. At times last night, the Spurs looked like a team that had all of the wind taken out of their sails. They all know that getting out of the West is going to be a chore with Manu; it's all but impossible without him (absent the acquisition of another great player).
That possibility may explain Tony Parker's fazed look throughout the entire game last night. Maybe the rest of the team already knows...
Let's hope there's no fire here, but I have the feeling this won't turn out well.
Timvp was saying that the Spurs are saying Manu is hurt so teams will stop asking for him.Timvp,
You're right...that makes little sense.
I know you are somewhat close to the situation. But are you saying the Spurs were trying to trade Manu?
How do you mean? Like protecting the feelings of the fans because they're going to trade him? When we see him playing in another uniform we're going to figure it out
I've been trying to think of a reason too. Could they be trying to make teams think that they are ripping off the Spurs in a deal when in actual fact the Spurs are willing to give up what the other team asks for? Sort of making the other team think they're getting a great deal?
No. The Spurs have never had serious talks about trading Manu. The only time they had something on the table that they actually considered was Manu for Sprewell back when Manu was a rookie. But they quickly decided against that trade.But are you saying the Spurs were trying to trade Manu?
I thought the same thing last night. The Spurs' energy was flat last night and I got a sense they were going to lose and if the players knew that something has happened to Manu...that could be the reason.
Also, I just hope for the best with Manu.
More like making it easier for another GM to deal one of the top 3 teams in the league a 4th star.
Truly sucks if its true and makes since why you keep hearing Spurs name associated with availabe swing players.
Since Wojnarowski is reporting that Manu's injury could be serious, it means that this info has spread around the league and that basically every GM knows it. If Spurs are keeping the injury secret because of the trade deadline, it makes no sense.
The only valid reason why they don't communicate on it, is that they are looking for a second advice about it or that Manu needs some rest before doctors re-evaluates it.
I think it was yesterday afternoon at first. And yes today we have gotten further negative confirmation . . .
