Manu upgraded to a game time decision

[Sii]

per shootaround this morning

[tdunk21]

thanx for the update

[Juggity]

Based on absolutely nothing but intuition, I'm 96% positive that Manu will play. Not heavy minutes, but he will play.

[SenorSpur]

From a psychological standpoint, that's a good thing. He doesn't need to play heavy minutes, however the other players MUST pick up the slack.

[cheguevara]

this was expected.

why u guys act like its desperation?

[DaBears]

I would like to get some of you guys opinion, on what the percentage is how his elbow healed and effectiveness... Being that he is upgraded to "GAMETIME DECISION" means hopefully POP thinks he is a least 80% health and ready to go..

Let me know what you guys think..

according to sean this morning on WOAI, for a player to get cleared to play a coach has to think the player is at least at 80 %

Yikes hopefully gimpy Manu is enough. I know it's his non-shooting arm and not ankle or nose like before.

Manu Ginobili is gonna fight?
Manu Ginobili is gonna fight!


Cue Joe Esposito!!!

We need a healthy Manu. Not a hesitant Manu.

[ducks]

a manu that only shots three's is not better then a 100% healthy neal

You'll know a lot about desperation in a couple of weeks.

Manu decision won’t be about health (http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursnation/2011/04/20/manu-decision-wont-be-about-health/)
Jeff McDonald

...“The decision is more whether a player can help or not,” coach Gregg Popovich said after shootaround this morning. “He’s definitely not going to be 100 percent. So is it good for the team or bad for the team (if he plays)?”

Not really an "upgrade", per se . . .

[Fireball]

Pop sounds as cautious as ever ...

He'll play. He has to. Just him stepping on the court will give the players and the crowd an instant jolt of energy....

[spurtech09]

with or without manu spurs are still going to win tonight....

[dbreiden83080]

Must win

he'll play

[dbreiden83080]

We go down 0-2 it's over..

[ducks]

if he plays and is not effective he needs to be benched
