Did anyone else catch the Pop interview today at the Spurs practice facility ?

He seemed relaxed and excited about the look of the team and about the prognosis on Tim's condition, Manu's health and Tony.

He said Tim's in great shape and the knee looks solid and more flexible than it ever has.

He also said that Tony's injury was very, very minor. He didn't go in to why they thought he should come back to SA to get a check up from their doctors.

He also mentioned that Manu is not playing competitive basketball but rather doing a lot of resting, walking and light jogging.

He figures that they are going to bring all the older guys along slowly during the preseason as opposed to previous years.

He is thrilled about adding RJ to the mix and described him as Stephen Jackson without all the drama. He added that SJ is still one of his favorite people.

That's all I heard.

Not too good an answer re Manu.

Looks like RJ and the new guys need to carry a lot of load early on.

Manu is doing fine and following doctor's orders. They wanted him to completely rest and take time off from playing because he only knows one speed.

He needs to be lifting weights, icing, and working on a way to contribute that doesn't consist of falling on the floor 4 times a game.
