Manu is the shit!

[IceColdBrewski]

Like I've said before. The Spurs feed off Manu and his energy more that any other player. Tonight was a prime example. Manu is going to take us to the Championship. Book it.

[ducks]

manu will not win the championship if duncan does not come back unless big dog is his old self

[Kori Ellis]

I hope Manu can get rested quick enough to be able to play the minutes he needs to play in the postseason. He's a huge factor in their success.

How much would you rest him in these final two weeks of the regular season?

[ducks]

if big dog can feel it
you play manu what he played tonight the rest of the way

[IceColdBrewski]

manu will not win the championship if duncan does not come back unless big dog is his old self

I said Manu will TAKE US to the Championship. He'll need Duncan to win it.

[T Park]

Id try to win the game tommarow get 6 games ahead of Dallas, then go into full rest the starters mode.


Then when its time for playoff rosters


bench Wilks and Massenburg.


Big Dog now on the team has made the bench about 50 billion times better.

[SuBZer0]

Kori, after the Dallas game, I think that an average of 25 mins a night until the playoffs is probably what I would do for Manu

Tonight was a good case of managing his minutes. 20-25 minutes tops in these last games, with a couple of sit outs on the back to backs.

[Kori Ellis]

Big Dog now on the team has made the bench about 50 billion times better.

I take it you really like him. :)

He's going to need to make big adjustments not to foul. But if he can keep knocking down jumpers and hustle, he'll contribute nicely. He didn't look that out of shape.

[SequSpur]

Clippers.

:rolleyes

[T Park]

No he didnt, I love the guy after tonight, I mean honestly,


take a second and think, the Spurs plucked for free a two time all star, whos best games were PLAYOFF GAMES

(BTW KORI i came to the game tonight and you werent there, I take it Services for TIMVP"s grandmother, Ill be at the game next tuesday, hope to see you guys there :) )


What I loved though, Glenn was wanting the ball, but he wasnt demanding it like Ron Mercer.

He acted totally cool with everything and during the game, he was intently listening to Budenholzer drawing up plays.


I love this pick up, and to be honest, I dont see Devin Brown coming back, Herniated Disks are MONTHS of rehab, not weeks.

He replaces Devin more than enough.


If I were the Spurs, Id honestly start talking multi year contract with the guy.

BTW,

Anyone see some corralations?

number 3, hits jumpers, has a tude.

considered an "anti-Spur"

[T Park]

Sequ.

you can rain on this guy;s and our parade al you want numbnuts, fact is, the Clippers are a decent team.

Plus he was hitting shots. Period. It couldve been Phoenix, Dallas, or Detroit, making shots is making shots.


Like I said, I hope the dog gets about 15 18 minutes tommarow.

In the playoffs??

Id play him with Barry and Udrih and Horry and Duncan.


The defensive SCHEMES will make up for the inadequecies.

[MannyIsGod]

Tpark, one word: Paragraphs. Try them out every once in a while and lay off the enter key.

[SequSpur]

Lets see what Manu does against Dallas before making up for 7 turnovers and a give away to lose the game only to be saved by Clutch Time Barry.

[Kori Ellis]

BTW KORI i came to the game tonight and you werent there, I take it Services for TIMVP"s grandmother, Ill be at the game next tuesday, hope to see you guys there

That's not the reason we weren't there. But yeah, I missed my second game of the season :(

We'll see you at the next one.

I know it's easy to be excited about GRob, but one game doesn't seal his worth on this team. Hopefully he can keep it up (minus the fouls) and contribute against good teams and into the postseason. I really want him to be able to jump start his career ... and being in SA is a great opportunity for him.

[T Park]

Well the fouls? To be honest, a couple of them were ticky tack, lets be honest.

One was a total and complete hack across the arms. The 4th was totally bogus.


That doesnt bother me, if he does what he is told in the defensive schemes, and nails those jumpers, guarded and open, like he did tonight, then he is OK.
One game DOESNT, but, this game is almost a glimpse to what he can do, and lets be honest, the guy can fill it up quick.I really want him to jumpstart it too, and I hope that after this year the Spurs can resign him. Right now, its a toss up to who you keep, a young Devin Brown who now has a back problem, or a middle aged Glenn Robinson who has about 5 years left in him and about 15 a night.

Tough decision IMO.

Is this the same T-Park who was going to dump his season tickets? :lol

Glad you're on board with the move now. He looked great tonight except for the fouls. I love that Pop switched to a zone when he was in so Robinson wouldn't pass out.

[MannyIsGod]

Kori and LJ stayed home to allow me to cheat on Jess with a hot date.

[T Park]

Lets see what Manu

Manu has proven enough you dumbfuck. Go away.


Big Dog is the only one that needs to keep bringing it. Now with Ginobili not playing tommarow night, this opens the door for Barry and Big Dog to step up.

[Kori Ellis]

If he has a good stint with the Spurs right now, I think Glenn Robinson will demand a lot more money this summer than the Spurs can pay (unless they move someone). I'm not really worried about next year yet. I just want Duncan and Devin to get healthy and Manu to somehow get untired so they can make this title run.

[T Park]

Devin Im afraid is toast. Duncan Im hopefull for.

Manu?? God only knows. Right now its tought to say who you move, if Glenn turns into a stud so that you can keep him. Only guys that pop into my mind are either Rasho Nesterovic or Nazr Mohammed. They are the only guys that command 5 to 7 million.

Other problem is a team just "taking" them. Maybe Charlotte would, who knows.

[Kori Ellis]

Devin Im afraid is toast.

You keep repeating that sentiment like it's wishful thinking. He's improved a lot in the last week or so, so I wouldn't write him off yet. Sean Elliott said tonight that he's "pain-free".

[Ginofan]

Do we know if he's traveling with the team tonight like Tim is?

[T Park]

I hope he is, but lets be honest, its a herniated Disk.

He could be pain free today, wake up tommarow and be bent over like a cherry street hooker all over again.


Backs are unpredictable. Thats why, Robinson getting run, is important.

He is toast IMO, because, he cant go back to being the same player, hes not gonna be able to drive to the hole recklessly and more than likely just will be off overall.

[Kori Ellis]

It's not exactly a herniated disc like David Robinson. It's inflammation of the nerve around the disc. He doesn't have any floating particles or other damage to the disc.

[SequSpur]

Herniated Disc pain flares up and you are shelved. No way is Devin Brown ever going to get any deal.

I have one at C6-C7 and when its hurting, ain't sheyitt happening.

And you never know when its going to hit ya either.

[T Park]

Kori and LJ stayed home to allow me to cheat on Jess with a hot date.

it looked like some dude to your left, and an old lady to your right.

To each his own.... :)

[Kori Ellis]

True. Brad was his date. :)

[T Park]

Awwww, How nice.


Its herniated but no floating particles, I understand but still, hurting the back is hurting the back.


You dont know when it will flare up, or where.

That, is why you have to consider Robinson a little more long term.

[Mr. Body]

RE: Robinson's fouls. Remember that he hasn't played at all this year and isn't familiar with the new no-hand-check rules. I wonder if he can get used to those rules in such a short period of time.

[boutons]

"its a herniated Disk."

Where did the Spurs say Devin's disc was herniated?

[Kori Ellis]

Ludden refers to it in this article using the word herniated.

http://www.mysanantonio.com/sports/basketball/nba/spurs/stories/MYSA040405.1D.spurs.1a2665de4.html

I'm not sure exactly what it means to have a herniated disc. But as far as I know, Devin's condition is that he has inflammation of the nerves surrounding those two discs.

[boutons]

OK, it is a herniated disc.

http://www.spine-health.com/topics/cd/d_difference/diff01.html

http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/article1431.html

What's worrying is that he said he has a sore back episode every season.

"The weird thing is, normally every year, I'll go through a stint for four or five games where my back is bothering me and I'm trying to get adjusted on the bench, but I just put heat on it," Brown said.

[Jimcs50]

Bench Massenburgh, TPark???

You are dumber than dirt.

We will need him against the likes of Fortson, Dampier, Stoudemire, and Wallace and Shaq when we get to the Finals.

BTW, you tell Mass that he is being left off the playoff roster again.

[Jimcs50]

It is a compressed nerve..nothing to do with the disc. Same thing with DRob before he had that floating particle problem, his problem came and went.

This is a muscle spasm deal that can last for weeks, then disappear for yrs or months.

This will not affect his contract negotiations.

[boutons]

"nothing to do with the disc"

The Spurs reported the MRI showed a herniated disc. On what authority do you say it's not?

Devin says he has episodes of back soreness,cramps EVERY SEASON. It has appeared every season, he says, not disappeared for years.

The disc is indirectly affected because the back muscles are in spasm...the disc is compressed by this, but the disc is not damaged at all. Once the muscles get out of spasm, the nerves will not be compressed and the back will be pain free.
