"the injury to Parker may prove to be the most important of all those that you've mentioned, because it's the only one that affects a team with a realistic chance of reaching the Finals. In recent years, the Spurs have been set back often by a late-season injury to one of their three stars. Parker isn't going to need surgery, and, in fact, the Spurs are hoping he'll be back in play faster than expected (he was expected to miss four weeks after injuring his ankle on March 1). But it's been six years since they last made the NBA Finals. They need to have everyone playing together at a high level in order to break through, and it can't be taken for granted that Parker and his teammates will be back to peaking efficiency in the short time before the playoffs. They're going to have to prove it."


Article also discusses injuries to Derrick Rose, Kobe Bryant, Amare , & Carmelo Anthony. If anyone's interested.

No ill will but isn't Lebron due for something?

That article makes it seem like TP's injury was super serious and makes it seem like the Playoffs start tomorrow or something. There's still a month left for TP to get his rhythm back...

[DesignatedT]

I'd agree if he was out another 2 weeks or something. People are talking about him being fine and being back Friday though. Stupid.

This is true, guy is built like a tank. Spurs need a stretch of very good health luck.

Health, making shots and stops, everything. Oh, and a young Bruce Bowen to fly into their locker room on a delorean ready to suit up
