Aron Baynes hurt...

[BadOne]

Per Project Spurs: www.projectspurs.com

Hurt in a Toro's game.:bang

[timtonymanu]

Clearly it's the Spurs' fault.

[Russo21]

That for real?

[RD2191]

this has got to be witchcraft, fuck you stern

[Harry Callahan]

I saw the video of the game. He got hurt very late in the 4th quarter. He got turned receiving the ball and got his ankle, leg torqued a little bit. He got up, bent over checking his legs and waddled over to the bench. It did not look like a long term thing, but it is still discouraging given what just happened in SA earlier. Hopefully just a tweak. The Spurs will likely need him over the next few weeks.

[BadOne]

Yeah, according to Project Spurs, it happened tonight I believe. Didn't know the Toro's were playing today. Hopefully nothing too serious on his end as well. Obviously, hoping more for Timmy to bounce back much sooner than expected.

[DMC]

There goes the Toro's hopes for a b2b.

Damn it...hopefully he's OK. We're gonna need him throughout the RRT...

[JingleJangleJingle]

but OKC is as healthy as an ox.

[BackHome]

Damn his injury looks worse then Timmy

[ace3g]

Anyone know what his injury history is?

[PingPong]

Injury prone...

:troll

[Rito3d30]

any update?

[TJastal]

So who here still thinks this was a good idea? Oh, he'll get his game wind. Oh, he isn't ready to contribute yet. Yah, send him down to the free for all league of bitter nba wannabees who play with a chip on their shoulder....

Well at least we'll get to see more of the the turd towers now. I know Pop is secretly pleased to be able to reunite his favorite B & B backups..

And in both posts, you still come off like a dumbass. Strange.

[TJastal]

And in both posts, you still come off like a dumbass. Strange.

Humor me and watch the replay, asshat.

First off, it was a stupid entry pass from #4 on the Austin squad (throwing to the post from the top of the key forcing Baynes to have to do a max vertical to catch it), and it backs up my first point; basically when you have stupid players doing stupid things like this in a stupid free for all game, injury risk becomes greater.

Now you combine that with the fact that in this god forsaken league you have a whole bunch of stupid disgruntled assholes who aren't ever going to be good enough to actually collect an nba paycheck and who probably resent the the hell out of fact that guys like Baynes get sent down for "conditioning" and proceed to make them look bad.

As for my 2nd point, Watch #34 for the Bakersfield team, as Baynes attempts to haul in that idiotic pass from the top of the key he subtly thrusts his knee/leg into the back Baynes' leg, effectively causing him to lose balance and land awkwardly. I'll even give you the exact time (1:55:08) where you can clearly see him thrust his leg.

Excellent point. I move we wrap the whole team in newspaper and put them in a hermetically-sealed roughneck tupperware container in the garage until the ring ceremony.

Hey I got an idea, how about Pop just start actually playing the guys that are going to give the spurs the best chance to win instead of endlessly dicking around with these back and forth stupid short term call ups to the Dimwit league?

[Twisted_Dawg]

You really never seem to get it. I'm afraid your ship has sailed.

[TJastal]

So what am I missing again? Oh ya, that instead of giving Baynes the necessary minutes he would need to play himself into shape and put the turds on the bench with permanent DNP's he instead elects to send Baynes to the Dipshit league to learn terrible habits and put himself at serious risk of injury....

that sound about right, sweet-cakes?

[BackHome]

I thought it was kinda stupid to send him to the D-League when we are playing the sucky teams in which he should have gotten playing time. But as always it is easy to look back and say should have would have etc...

Hey, I know you don't really watch the Spurs, but did you hear about Tim Duncan getting injured last night? And where in the fuck did you hear about Toros players "learning terrible habits"? The Toros run the same system as the Spurs, and are coached by coaches hired under Pop and RC. The only "terrible habit", is your takes on basketball tbh.

[KL2]

I'm surprised Splitter hasn't been injured yet considering his past.

[DMC]

These guys are athletes, not children. They don't need to be coddled. Just as in baseball where someone goes down to the minors for a stint, the D-league is a good way to get a foreign player more accustomed to NBA rules and guidelines, and to learn the system. Duncan got hurt in an NBA game, same night. Every player on every team is hurt at some point. Hell, Bonner was hurt. All the Captain Hindsight shit is just that, shit. They get into the system, a system that's proven to be the best in the league, and they take their chances. You and I can get hurt at work, doesn't mean we shouldn't go to work. It is what it is, no decision or person is to blame. It's a game after all.

I think Pop & RC need to get some better coaches then. Ones that can teach proper entry passes into the post.

In the nba you wouldn't see retarded entry passes lofted from the top of the key. You don't even see that type of stupidity at the high school level.

[ChumpDumper]

TJ, I'll never stop laughing at your senseless, impotent rage.

No kidding.

[UZER]

They need to get over themselves and just play guys that are going to play. I know I'm in the minority, but I have never liked and don't understand this over managing of minutes, resting games and d league send down / call-ups. I gome some credence to a certain extent but I just think Pop over does it. He especially keeps the training wheels on new guys for way to long.

Phil Jackson never pulled this stuff. He road his horses every year and they never seemed to get hurt outside of Shaq because he was fat and lazy. And if they did get hurt, then they got hurt because its part of the game and he moved with his coaching and let them play hurt if they felt they could go.

say what you want about Phils gravy training but dude ended up with 11 rings and owned Pop in the playoffs. I just have a feeling Pop wouldn't left MJ at the hotel with the flu, and sent Pippen home with his chronic bad back (tongue-in-cheek).

And I can't stand Phil Jackson!

[ChumpDumper]

Wow! Did you check at this very small college gym they are playing in?It actually started out as the Jam's practice facility. They didn't draw well in the Rabobank Center, so they just started playing there.

[Bill_Brasky]

:cry how dare Pop use the development league to develop his new players :cry

[BackHome]

So when are we going to use the development league to develop our draft pick Ryan Richards?

When Richards develops the ability to not get fired from Europe's worst franchises?

[Darkwaters]

Now that we have heard the good news about Timmy, I'm curious what the prognosis on Aron is?

[BackHome]

Sorry should have color my statement in blue.

[admiralsnackbar]

:lol Nah... my cue awareness and reading comprehension just freeze up like the Tin Man when I drink.

[Interrohater]

Any updates on the injury? I've searched, but found nothing

[Em-City]

this thread is being neglected.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Wow! Did you check at this very small college gym they are playing in?

i dunno why the nba neglects the dleague product, presentation and delivery of the product to the audience....looks like fkn shit and whatever they are playing in

dleague should be something better then ncaa, but it looks like shit....

[anakha]

[E-RockWill]

It's nice to see that TJastal & EricB are still a couple of complete douchebags.

[jermaine]

Is there any news on this guys injury?

[dbestpro]

Watch the game on YouTube and you won't see much play that's spur like. They just bring the ball down, pass the ball to a wing, who dribbles and dribbles in iso until he chucks the ball. Very poor use of the bigs in this game. Almost looks like the YMCA league.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I take him being called back up to the Spurs as a good sign regarding his injury. Any updates??

[jermaine]

That dude is what we call "Big Boned" in the hood. He aint hurt. He got all kinds of meat on the legs. He alright

[Dr. Robert Lee]

Dude is on roids, tbh.

These are the kind of tweets are why I really hate JMcD, he has done this before where when someone asks about stats or etc, calls them dorks, nerds, etc. The other reason like others have stated he is late on news updates, won't take risks to try and break news before others do.

Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN (https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN) Don't know if Baynes was impressed or frightened to learn some of you dorks were watching his game with the Toros on the Internet. #stalkers (https://twitter.com/search?q=%23stalkers&src=hash)

A bunch of drunk fans trying to correctly pronounce "niggle"? Sounds like a recipe for disaster imho :lol

Sounds like something he should be doing instead of hitting the sauce and relying on SpursTalk and other blogs to do his job tbh.

Wow, that's a stupid thing to say on sooo many levels!! The Spurs play the purest form of basketball in the league and have done so since the time of the Admiral. They have the most diverse roster in the NBA so it's logical that they would draw fans from places where the only way to watch the game would be on the internet! (Youtube says :toast!) After watching the team lack a big with true toughness since days gone by, any Spurs fan would want to see what Baynes brought to the table! Before I found this site, I used to go to Express News to get my Spurs info! How did I do that, the internet! What a dumbass!!!

[Dr. Robert Lee]

There's two of every kind if person in the world, my son. Two is better than one; am I right? You see, a long, long time ago there was this fish that had to poop, so he laid a turd next to another turd from this other fish. The turds united and became a single megaturd. Ever since, there have always been two. It just is that way. 2 > 1. It's simple math, really, and we all owe it back to the megaturd many, many years ago.

[timtonymanu]

rofl what a tool.

It says something when an outside writer (Woj for example) is more reliable than a Spurs insider (McDonald).

How about doing your damn job, Jeff?

I take what McDonald said as a tongue in cheek expression. He's said it before during summer league games, and also during the draft. iirc
