Jeff McDonald
@JMcDonald_SAEN

Tony Parker, Boris Diaw, and Tim Duncan all expected to play tonight vs Bobcats but ...

11:02am*- 8 Feb 14

...Marco Belinelli (back spasms) and Tiago Splitter (calf contusion) are uncertain. Game-time decisions.

11:03am - 8 Feb 14

[timtonymanu]

Splitter hurting again? Sigh

[smaka]

Splitter hurting again? Sigh

Tough man :lol

[Jwash_1986]

He's to young to be hurt every other week.

[Chinook]

Weird. Spurs should have enough horses anyway.

[Robz4000]

Why is it always Splitter's calf?

[Chinook]

Why is it always Splitter's calf?

I know! That's some bull.

[Chinook]

Beli being hurts sucks for the bench better hope De Colo continues to step up.

[poop]

Its actually his penis but they try to be nice about it so they say calf

[Sean Cagney]

Splitter is as soft as burger buns.

[Harry Callahan]

Splitter played in 81 regular season games last year, but that was a contract year.

Somewhat annoying for #22 to be on the shelf so much this year.

[Joyrider]

What makes you guys think it's Splitter decision and not the coaching staff who routinely rests players even after minor injuries?

Plus, it's the fucking Bobcats.

[Budkin]

Tiago tissue paper tbh

[wildchild]

It isn't a big deal if Pop decides to rest Tiago as precaution, Spurs with Tim and Tony shouldn't have problems winning the game.

[TheGoldStandard]

Fucking paper mache

[jimbo]

They have to be resting him. A calf bruise? You expect an NBA player to play through that.

[Robz4000]

Anyone else catch what Pop was saying about Splitter during his pregame interview? He went in on him tbh.

[T Park]

Yeah uh, Splitter needs to suck it up...

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker, however, says he could have played in the fourth. "Patty was rolling and Pop stayed with him," Parker said. - @JMcDonald_SAEN

[Captivus]

I think the baby is like: Look at this bitch!! What are you smiling about?

He has the I just stole 36m dollars grin on his face previously seen on Jeff Ayres.

beli being hurt really helped the bench..

San Antonio Spurs ‏@spurs 2h

Injury report: Splitter (right calf contusion) will not play in tonight’s game. Belinelli (back spasms) is listed as probable for tonight.

[timtonymanu]

Come on Tiago.

[Robz4000]

God dammit Splitter. I could understand the Bobcats, but the Spurs' chances of winning tonight plummet dramatically without him playing.

[Chinook]

Ew. Splitter needs to get his head in the game. Oh well, hopefully Ayres builds on last game.

[spurs10]

Anyone else catch what Pop was saying about Splitter during his pregame interview? He went in on him tbh. I heard this as well. Isn't Pop making the call who plays? Tiago surely isn't saying " I won't be playing tonight cause I have a boo boo."

[Juggity]

If Splitter really is hurting, I'm glad he's sitting and not aggravating an injury.

[timtonymanu]

I heard this as well. Isn't Pop making the call who plays? Tiago surely isn't saying " I won't be playing tonight cause I have a boo boo."

What did he say?

[Robz4000]

According to Jeff McDonald and one on the guys from 48moh Splitter said he couldn't play himself.

This guy is always hurt, damn.

[Seventyniner]

God dammit Splitter. I could understand the Bobcats, but the Spurs' chances of winning tonight plummet dramatically without him playing.

The Pistons are just as bad as the Bobcats.

Still, these repeated nagging injuries that keep sidelining him are getting aggravating.

[Robz4000]

Still, these repeated nagging injuries that keep sidelining him are getting aggravating.

Bobcats only had Al Jefferson to worry about and Duncan would've guarded him most of the time anyway with McRoberts being a bit too mobile for him; Would've prolly started Diaw anyway. Detroit on the other hand has Drummond, Monroe, and Josh Smith who are threats in the paint. They're gonna end up with double the rebounds/points in the paint as the Spurs.

[Chinook]

The Pistons are just as bad as the Bobcats.

Still, these repeated nagging injuries that keep sidelining him are getting aggravating.

Detroit is huge, and it was already going to be hard to contain Smith with Green on him. Now we'll see Diaw on Monroe and Duncan on Drummond. Could be a tough game.

[Seventyniner]

Detroit is huge, and it was already going to be hard to contain Smith with Green on him. Now we'll see Diaw on Monroe and Duncan on Drummond. Could be a tough game.

Given how much SF Diaw has been playing recently, I could see Pop starting someone like Bonner or Ayers at the 4 alongside Duncan and Diaw.

[spurs10]

According to Jeff McDonald and one on the guys from 48moh Splitter said he couldn't play himself. Wow!

[TheGoldStandard]

Splitter making out like a thief in the night.. Dude doesn't want to stay on the court after he made his money

[Bruno]

The whole "Splitter should man up and play through his injury" is so incredibly stupid.

Splitter has a muscular injury and the risk to aggravate the injury if not fully healthy is very high. Do people really want to see him missing many weeks to play a game in February?

Normally I'd agree, but hearing about Pop calling him out makes me think the injury isn't really serious.

[RD2191]

Splitter is a pussy.

Naw. The chick behind him holding the beer just slid her toe near his crack.

[Chomag]

Spurs have a ton of money on people that can't even play just saying.

[EVAY]

Splitter has probably figured out that players who try to play through injuries and don't play up to their normal level while hurting are trashed by the fans as being scrubs or something. (See: TD early in the season when he had that chest bruise; TP recently and currently with shin bruises and back spasms and last year in the finals with the sprained hamstring). Splitter is smart, imo.

TD didn't really come back this season until after that bruise had completely healed, and Tony has been playing through nagging injuries all season.

Splitter is gonna get criticized no matter what unless he is playing at a very high level.

[Libri]

Tiago had little lift when healthy. With this calf injury, he probably has zero lift.

[SpurPadre]

Tiago had little lift when healthy. With this calf injury, he probably has zero lift.

THIS. Instead of getting blocked by Mario Chalmers when healthy, he'd get blocked by Muggsy Bogues now.

[timtonymanu]

Danny Green might be added to the injured list again?

[exstatic]

He has the I just stole 36m dollars grin on his face previously seen on Jeff Ayres.
Jeff Ayres makes ONE THIRD of the average NBA salary.

[Johnny RIngo]

Jeff Ayres makes ONE THIRD of the average NBA salary.

And even that is too much for him. Shouldn't be making more than the minimum seeing as he's D-League quality.

[tholdren]

Splitter played in 81 regular season games last year, but that was a contract year.

why he fucking sucks, save the defense bullshit for the other homers

contract shjtty for production

[Ice009]

A couple of years ago when Splitter was out with a calf injury, he said something along the lines of "it's something dangerous" and that he couldn't play.

This guy is soft as tissue paper. I understand he makes a big difference defensively, but if the Spurs can get anyone in the same vicinity that can do what he does on defense, they should look at trading him. His softness is beyond a joke at this point.

[ace3g]

Matthew R Tynan @Matthew_Tynan
(https://twitter.com/Matthew_Tynan)Tony Parker has returned to San Antonio and will not finish out the road trip with the team (rest), per Spurs.


Matthew R Tynan @Matthew_Tynan
(https://twitter.com/Matthew_Tynan)Additionally, Tiago Splitter will be out again tomorrow against the Celtics. So, no Parker, no Splitter in Boston.

[timtonymanu]

No updates on Green and Mills means they should be good to go.

I wish Parker wasn't playing on the pointless all star team.

[Bruno]

I wish Parker wasn't playing on the pointless all star team.

He already said that he will ask Brooks to only play a few minutes.

[Robz4000]

God dammit Splitter, Spurs could very well lose to Boston too. Glad Parker's done til after the ASB tho.

[HarlemHeat37]

Great news about Parker, tbh..

Hopefully the Spurs can still finish with the 3rd seed and stay out of OKC's bracket, but having Parker healthy is more meaningful, this team isn't going anywhere if he can't dominate, obviously..

[Spur|n|Austin]

He already said that he will ask Brooks to only play a few minutes.

I'd still say that't too much, I'd feel much better with him resting at home..

[Bruno]

I'd still say that't too much, I'd feel much better with him resting at home..

Even if you miss the ASG because of injuries, you had to go at the event to do all the media stuffs.

10 minutes played at half speed isn't a big deal, and, even if ASG means nothing for a lot of people, it means something for Parker. I really don't think the benefit of avoiding to play these 10 minutes is significant enough to take the joy from Parker to be an all star.

[Hoops Czar]

What isn't a big deal is resting against the Celtics. That will do nothing for him over the long haul. The Spurs will just have to cope with Parker playig at half speed the rest of the season. Other players are going to have to get healthy, stay healthy and pick up the slack.

well then you don't know the benefits of rest on the body. When a body is at rest it goes into recovery mode. Obviously Parker practicing, running and playing in the Allstar will prevent at least 2 days of this valuable recovery mode.

[TheGoldStandard]

Tiago must have a really bad yeast infection or it turned into BV.

[FireMicoHalili]

well then you don't know the benefits of rest on the body. When a body is at rest it goes into recovery mode.
Holy crap that's what happens when we rest?! Who knew?

[Texas_Ranger]

Parker doesn't even want to play in the All-Star game. If he's bitching about the playing time and wants to play 2 minutes, then just give the spot to Dragič, do the media stuff and go rest. And why does a player that is injured need to come to the game? Say you have a fever and are shiting all the time.

[ducks]

because players would fake the injuries

True, but I would've loved to have seen him snubbed, if only because it would light a fire under his ass!

(https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN)Spurs were supposed to practice today in L.A., in part to assess health of injured guys, but that session was canceled. Plane malfunction.


Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
(https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN)As such, @Monroe_SA (https://twitter.com/Monroe_SA/) should know more about status of Ginobili, Splitter and maybe Kawhi Leonard after shootaround tomorrow morning.


Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
(https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN)One small bit of news: Kawhi Leonard had been medically cleared to participate in today's practice session that never happened.

So happy to hear Leonard has been cleared to practice at least.

I have no CLUE but I hate it.... That game turned the series there, if they win that game one IMO they probably take that series but they ran out of GAS (No Pun).

Dan McCarney @danmccarneysaen
(https://twitter.com/danmccarneysaen)Leonard participated in full practice today, still has periodic pain in hand, remains game-time decision for Wed. Parker still out indef.



Dan McCarney @danmccarneysaen
(https://twitter.com/danmccarneysaen)Pop on Parker: "It's hard to measure. There's no specific injuries, just a lot of little things. He just needs time off."

[Mel_13]

My guess is that Tony gets two more weeks off and returns on March 12th against Portland. The Spurs will be favored to win in six of the seven games before then even without Tony, with the March 6th game v. Miami as the exception.

[cd021]

My guess is that Tony gets two more weeks off and returns on March 12th against Portland. The Spurs will be favored to win in six of the seven games before then even without Tony, with the March 6th game v. Miami as the exception.

I would think that he could return on the 2nd at home against Dallas. It would 20 days without Parker playing in a Spurs game.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah I think Parker needs more than a week and a half off which is what would have been his return against Detroit. Like Mel has said, the Spurs don't really need Parker for this upcoming stretch. Patty and Joseph have been great enough replacements. March 12 against Portland sounds good. Parker would almost have had a month off.

[Robz4000]

Damn, Leonard's hand is still bothering him? That's concerning. As for Tony, keep him out as long as possible.

[Bruno]

Parker just said on his radio show that he was out for Wed game and that he hasn't talked with Pop about when he could come back. The groin injury is his most serious issue.

So, it looks like Parker will still be out for quite some time.

[Chinook]

The only real issue with Parker being out is that the team only has two Healthy PGs on the roster. To me, that increases the chances of them using the 15th spot on a guard instead of a forward.

[Mugen]

The only real issue with Parker being out is that the team only has two Healthy PGs on the roster. To me, that increases the chances of them using the 15th spot on a guard instead of a forward.

If they were concerned about going with two PGs through this Parker-less stretch then they wouldn't have traded Nando tbh. If the Spurs are perusing the buyout market then it's most certainly for a forward, otherwise they'd be making a HUGE mistake.

[FromWayDowntown]

The Spurs would pretty much have to have an epic collapse at this point to not end up with a Top 5 seed in the West (they're 6 games up on Golden State for the 6th spot); obviously, it's preferable for a lot of reasons to be #1 or #2, but this team seems to almost play better on the road and in some ways, even if they fell as far as #5 by season's end, if it means that Parker is fully healthy and has saved some additional wear-and-tear on his body, the seeding might not be as big a deal as some would suggest. Resting your key guy for a long stretch of the regular season, even at the cost of seeding, has worked out for other teams in the past (1995 Rockets, for instance). Whatever chance the Spurs have to win the West (and a title) depend significantly upon Parker's health and I'm sure the organization would sacrifice seeding for a healthy All-Star point guard in a heartbeat.

[loveforthegame]

At this rate, Daye will probably play before Leonard.

[look_at_g_shred]

100% agree

They traded De Colo because he wanted to leave. And they had Brown. They may well be content to keep him. I'd rather them run with Beli and Manu as the back court, since that's what they may have to do for stretches in the playoffs.

[Mel_13]

Maybe on a 10-day, but surely not for the rest of the season.

[Chinook]

Maybe on a 10-day, but surely not for the rest of the season.

There may noy be a huge difference. The buyout market should be sorted out in 10 days.

[Mugen]

They traded De Colo because he wanted to leave. And they had Brown. They may well be content to keep him. I'd rather them run with Beli and Manu as the back court, since that's what they may have to do for stretches in the playoffs.

Nando wanting out was surely a factor but if the Spurs were really worried about only having two PGs while Parker is out, then they could have just as easily kept him. Teams usually don't really feel compelled to trade away an end of the bench player just because he requests a trade.

I just don't think they're out there looking for backcourt help for the final roster spot. I very well could be wrong and they could go ahead and target Ben Gordon or just keep Shannon, but it'd be a huge mistake IMO. A move like that would justify all the complaints/concerns about the FO moves since the Finals and their overall talent evaluation tbh.

[Mel_13]

There may noy be a huge difference. The buyout market should be sorted out in 10 days.

Much less expensive to waive a guy on a 10-day, but you know that. I just can't see them signing a guard for the rest of the season unless they pass/whiff on all the available forwards.

[Mel_13]

Of course, they could be of the opinion that they don't need anybody better than Daye to fill the role that TMac filled in 2013. We'll know soon enough.

[Seventyniner]

Any chance the Spurs try to pick up a forward (Granger, Clark, the Peace formerly known as Artest) and Udrih while letting Brown's 10-day expire and releasing Baynes (or Daye)?

[Mel_13]

Any chance the Spurs try to pick up a forward (Granger, Clark, the Peace formerly known as Artest) and Udrih while letting Brown's 10-day expire and releasing Baynes (or Daye)?

Sure, but I'd rather keep Brown than bring back Beno.

I agree it would be a mistake, but it could happen if Parker is out more than another week or so. Pop had five (5) players he played at PG last season. I just can't see him going to two. It depends on what he thinks about Daye/Green/Diaw and their ability to back up Kawhi.

[Seventyniner]

Sure, but I'd rather keep Brown than bring back Beno.

That...probably puts you in the minority on this site :lol

I just brought up the Beno idea because of Parker's continued absence. Does Pop trust Joseph and Mills enough to get 48 minutes out of them combined for the next 2-3 weeks?

[DPG21920]

Parker needing more than 2 weeks off is a bad sign. I wouldn't have worried if he just SAT out that last leg of the RRT, but needing even more time? I know it's an old argument but how is that fair to the Spurs if they have to pay for TP to rest because of non Spurs activities?

Also, beyond that, 2 weeks off for "non-injuries" is a good chunk of time. Needing a month? That's the concerning part & it will be interesting to see if TP can elevate his play after this rest. If not it surely raises a lot of questions considering the Spurs window.

[Chinook]

Not concerned about the time off. He needs to rest. The longer the better. What Parker "needs" and what the Spurs want to give him are provably completely different.

[Mel_13]

That...probably puts you in the minority on this site :lol

:lol

My preference for Brown is not an endorsement of his skills, it's just that I never want to see Beno in a Spurs uni again. At least Brown is in shape.

Anyway, if the problem is a lack of Pop's trust, Beno can't be the solution.

He was out for 3 weeks last March and returned to play 10 games before the playoffs. If he takes a month off and returns on March 12th, there will 19 regular season games left on the schedule (15 if he never plays in a B2B).

[DPG21920]

He was out for just purely "rest" last March? Also, last year he was playing MVP level basketball before the rest..

[DPG21920]

By the way, I am all for players having the right to play for their country. But with TP's level this year and the injury concerns, it makes you have a few questions..

[Mel_13]

Moving the goalposts. He'll be able to elevate his play after the rest, IMO. Reaching last year's level of play is another matter.

[DPG21920]

No it's not moving the goalposts. I already said the concern is about legit injury. His level of play dropped off this year and if it was just rest, needing more than two weeks off is odd to me.

[Mel_13]

I saw them move.

[Mugen]

Relatively easy schedule coming up + Patty playing well ('cept for the Suns game) probably convinced Pop to ride the rest thing a little longer and I agree with the decision tbh. I'll be concerned if he looks bad when he returns but will reserve judgment until then.

Non-Spurs ball in the offseason is just part of the deal when it comes to international superstars. Been argued here for a while, it is what it is at this point.

Well said.

[DPG21920]

Nah. You took something from my comment and posted strictly about time missed this year vs last year while failing to take into consideration that TP did not just get "rested" last year and was also playing at a much higher level (meaning there was less concern) before the 3 weeks off last year.

[Mel_13]

Really, I saw them move.

[DPG21920]

Ok I guess :lol

TP is fine. Will be back soon.

lol - good news is reports just came out that Granger is going to be bought out.

This is definitely good news. The Spurs needs support more than ever if they are going to win the:lobt2:. Hope the FO, with link to the 76ers via Brett Brown, can play some magic.

P.S. I'm not too high on Granger, even if he is willing to come.
