Manu starting tonight

[Bruno]

Parker just said it on his radio show.

Parker has also been clear to play tonight by Spurs doctors..

[DesignatedT]

Finally back to normal. Hope everyone can stay healthy from here on out.

[will_spurs]

We should do a vBookie on which Spurs player is going to be injured next.

Getting closer to the optimal starting lineup. Now just need Kawhi is place of Jefferson.

The dream would also have Splitter replacing Blair ... but I'll settle for 2 out of 3.

Can someone translate this:

--

Tony Parker: "J’ai une légère déchirure au genou. Rien de grave. Les Spurs n'ont pas pris de risque, je n’ai pas joué vendredi. Du coup, j’ai eu trois de jours de repos. Ça fait du bien."

T. Parker: "On est pas très bien en ce moment. Mais la bonne nouvelle c’est que tout le monde est à 100%. Manu (Ginobili) sera titulaire ce soir (contre Washington)."

--

Google translate gave an odd translation for that 1st part: "I have a slight tear in his knee. Nothing serious."

That's the right translation but Parker didn't say that. He said that he had a slight tear in the hamstring and that he is fine now with the two days off before the Wizards game.

Hamstring or quad?

My bad, quad.

Ok, thanks, I got that from the Tony Parker Show facebook page, just following with the show that way since I don't understand French, lol.

[Paranoid Pop]

Lol someone is calling to ask about Boris Diaw.

Lol someone is calling to ask about Boris Diaw.

awesome, what did he say?

[eric365]

Parker just asked about Diaw :
- He said he is in shape, not overweight
- Spurs are very interrested and wait for buyout if not traded before
- Knicks are also on him

[timvp]

TP needs to remember tampering rules, tbh.

[Paranoid Pop]

awesome, what did he say?

he's in shape

talked about the two deadlines (trade/buyout)

said other teams were most likely interested

if he's not traded before the 15th he can find an agreement with the Bobcats and choose where to go


So nothing we didn't know except that he really is on the radar.

[Paranoid Pop]

- Spurs are very interrested and wait for buyout if not traded before

He didn't explicitly say that.

[eric365]

He said something like "we are really really interrested" and in another sentence he explained that Diaw could be traded and if not he could find an agreement with the Bobcats

I didn't meant Spurs are interrested in a trade for Diaw if it's what you understood from my post

[DJB]

That's the right translation but Parker didn't say that. He said that he had a slight tear in the hamstring and that he is fine now with the two days off before the Wizards game.

Uhhh... what? A slight tear?

[will_spurs]

- Knicks are also on him

Said it in the other thread, d'Antoni loves Diaw about as much as Pop loved Finley.

[MmP]

I don't wanna jump into anything but can Diaw guard anybody tbh?

[will_spurs]

I don't wanna jump into anything but can Diaw guard anybody tbh?

That's not the point. The point is: can he guard anybody better than the player he's going to take minutes away from? And the answer is yes, because those guys really can't guard anybody.

[Bruno]

Parker also said that medical staff told TJ he was one hit away of being paralyzed for life. It's not surprising that his retirement decision came so quickly after the injury.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Would Diaw allow the Spurs to start Splitter? Probably not, but thanks for the info guys, the TP show sounds pretty good :tu

Holy shit! :wow

[cheguevara]

Dick > Diaw

[crc21209]

Now if only we could get Kawhi and Splitter in the starting line-up and we'd be set....

[therealtruth]

Getting closer to the optimal starting lineup. Now just need Kawhi is place of Jefferson.

The dream would also have Splitter replacing Blair ... but I'll settle for 2 out of 3.

Hopefully they can acquire a big soon and make it happen.

[TD 21]

Definitely not. It's not just his lack of size and shot blocking, but his atrocious rebounding. Him paired with Bonner would probably be a bigger disaster than Blair paired with Bonner.

On the plus side, he'd allow them to remove Blair from the rotation. The question is, would that even be an upgrade at this point? I'm not sure, but it's worth a shot.

[Spurtacus]

Manu should come off the bench and be our backup PG. Neal has done a good job but I feel he's better playing off the ball and spotting up for 3's.

[Brazil]

We need a healthy manu, badly.

fify

[therealtruth]

But then the turd towers come together off the bench...

We need a backup big, badly.

We need a backup big Pop is willing to give minutes over Bonner/Blair.

[ElNono]

now we just need him to finish the games too
