From Mike Monroe:

HOUSTON -- Tony Parker, the Spurs' starting point guard, missed the team's morning shootaround at Toyota Center with a stomach ailment that coach Gregg Popovich said resulted from food poisoning.

Parker's availability for tonight's game against the Rockets won't be determined until shortly before tipoff.

[ElNono]

/sarcasm

On a serious note, poor guy can't catch a break... get well tony

[baseline bum]

Goddamn. Did Tony build his new mansion on an Indian burial ground or something?

[Destro]

smoke screen for hip injury

[NostalgicSpursFan]

blessing in disguise.

[urunobili]

geez... well let's look at the bright side... more resting for both the hip, the ankle and the tendonosis :)

[Sigz]

Damn, rough ass year for Tony.

He's got to be the oldest 27 year old in the entire league.

[My Fault]

blessing in disguise.

Sure is... He needs to sit out as much as possible to heal.

[VBM]

Damn...picked the wrong jersey to bring to the game...

"WASHINGTON, Sept. 16 (1999)— Although the United States has one of the safest food supplies in the world, about 76 million Americans suffer food poisoning each year and about 5,000 die from it, the Federal Government said today."

You're actually pretty lucky if you don't get sick from the shit corporations sell us.

Then add in the minimum-wagers who work in food services.

No problem, Tony should use the rest, if he's not real sick and weakened.

[Sean Cagney]

He isn't going to heal this year, rest will help but that plantar is there till he rests for months.

[The Truth #6]

smoke screen for hip injury

I could see that.

[JR3]

LOL.. its now obvious Pop is just limiting his minutes...

[LOL@MavsFan]

The Manu Ginobili of the 09/10 season JIMMENY CHRISTMAS!!!!!

[ace3g]

this where a player like Larry Hughes would be helpful especially if Parker is going to miss some games the rest of the season, Hughes can play spot minutes at the PG spot more effectively then say Mason and you wouldn't have to more around the rotations with Hill as the PG.

So right now during the Spurs should be looking at the waivers for a PF/C and or another PG

[Libri]

Damn, was it Eva's cooking?

[dbestpro]

Back in the 80s when I use to hang out with some players, the flu and food poisoning were the catch all for hangover. I wonder if the same holds true today?

It was the French Fries...

[Bukefal]

damn, now this too. what a luck :bang

[Dex]

Parker's been hanging around Ian Mahinmi too long.

[arodz]

Just reported: Parker officially out tonight.

[raspsa]

Goddamn. Did Tony build his new mansion on an Indian burial ground or something?

:lol

[timtonymanu]

damn parker is so unlucky. he's out every other game.

hope he's ok.


Hill-Bogans-RJ-Timmy-Dice

That has to be the lineup.

[TD 21]

Just reported: Parker officially out tonight.

It's too bad that the big three can't and probably won't ever again be simultaneously healthy for a long stretch and in rhythm. Finally Ginobili is beginning to resemble the form of two years ago, so now Parker can't stay healthy and even when he does, because of various ailments and his being in and out of the lineup, he's never in a rhythm.

This makes the rotation tonight more cut and dried. Mason will definitely play and Finley probably will too. No excuses, Spurs should still win, as the Rockets are without Ariza, Lowry (and even though he hasn't and won't play this season, technically Yao).

dont forget their best player Landry is gone.

[TD 21]

dont forget their best player Landry is gone.

Yeah, but in his place (not position-wise) is Martin, not to mention more front court depth and length in the form of Jeffries, Hill and Armstrong.

[dbestpro]

This just in, "Pop says with Tony out we will have to go small to make up for his size."

[G-Dawgg]

What kind of BS excuse is this now? Next game will be dehydration or some other excuse to not play Tony.... I guess the vodka Eva's been force-feeding him was way past the expiration date..

[BlackSwordsMan]

trade him asap

[Chieflion]

He ate too much pussy.

[dbreiden83080]

He didn't marry Eva for her cooking..

Not sarcasm.
