Averaging 16PPG on 53% shooting this postseason. What a huge loss.

[TheGreatYacht]

When it's Golden State's year.... you'll know it's Golden State's year

[bic50]

Really hate to see Parker go out like that. He was playing great but even if he wasn't I would have liked to see him go out on his own and not forced out by injury.

[baseline bum]

Sucks when Parker was playing so well.

[Blake]

Well at least Murray gets playing time am I right parker haterz

When it's Golden State's year.... you'll know it's Golden State's year

Yup.

First round Nukic Injury
Second Round Gobert 70% Favors 50%
Finals Parker out or Ryan Anderson wrist injury

[TheRemix]

Welp thats what happens when we rely on 34 year old parker to do so much..he was playing like he was young again. Was only a matter of time

Stop whining about asterisks, almost every title winning team gets some major breaks with injuries to opponents.

Still grateful Ibaka wasn't fully healthy in 2014!

[xtremesteven33]

Not a Tony Parker fan but really sucks to see him go out like this. Expectations now are pretty low. One can only hope the injury bug bites the Warriors, that's the only way they lose at this point.

[Dverde]

Well at least Murray gets playing time am I right parker haterz

Pop don't play rookies in the playoffs. Manu, Mills, Anderson, Simmons going to get those minutes initial.

[EIC]

Well at least Murray gets playing time am I right parker haterz

Before the renaissance in the last four or five games, I'm not sure news of Parker's season-ending injury gets its own thread. It's a massive shame that this happens when he's actually playing like a starting PG. This has to be the final nail in the Parker coffin, though.

[Truth4sale$]

Will be a huge loss, if true. Hopefully its a 2 month recovery, and due to it being the playoffs, the time period is too short to recover and not a complete kneecap or something requiring 8-12 months.
His leadership will be missed, not just his overall scoring which had improved dramatically in the playoffs from the regular season. All of the Parker haters, dont realize he is a coach on the floor, knows the offense and distributes the ball better than anyone on the team. Patty cant fill that void. He is more of a scorer.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Good thoughts his way.

I'm almost wondering if him upping the intensity and his quickness in the playoffs, where his body was not used to it through the season, left him more injury-prone. Maybe his tendons/ligaments were not used to the quickness anymore.

Looked like a freak injury tbh

It's Kyle at point time.

[TheGreatYacht]

It's Kyle at point time.

Our ineptitude vs the Grizz and Rockets in game 1 killed him

We killed him

Rest in Peace TP

I'll never refrain from throwing up asterisks after all the shit that's been thrown at the Spurs. Do I believe them? Maybe not. But fuck the Lakers, Warriors, Heat, and Cavs.

I have a buddy whose a huge Laker fan and to this day, I claim that the Spurs were the clear favorite in 2001 until Anderson went down.

[james evans]

We will still win this series!

Exactly. He's so incredulous when I bring it up that I'll never stop doing it. I act like it's a given that the Spurs would have won the championship. He gets so pissed off. It makes me laugh just to think about it.

Is that the year the Spurs had double-digit leads on the Lakers in every single one of those playoff losses? You'd have to imagine that Derek Anderson would've been a positive factor to POSSIBLY change the outcome of the series or at least make it respectably competitive (vs. a sweep).

[NameLess Scrub]

Yup.

First round Nukic Injury
Second Round Gobert 70% Favors 50%

It's been like that for years. Even in the Finals.

If Warriors and Cavs get fully healthy to the Finals, I think it would be the 1st time in that insufferable rivalry.

That was 2002. 2001 is when they got run out of the building in Games 1,3,4 and blew a 40 point game from Duncan and a 10 point lead in Game 2.

Is that right? Man...I'm going to add that to my argument.

[baseline bum]

Though I don't remember them having a double digit lead in Games 1 or 3 in 02. I remember they were up a few points most of Game 1 before LA took over in the fourth, and Game 3 I remember the Lakers leading most of the way (fucking Samaki Walker of all people had a big game).

2002, I think the Spurs had a lead in the 4th quarter of every game. I can't remember how big the leads were, though (I don't think they were big leads).

Fuck, this sucks. Get well soon, Tony!

[Old School 44]

I haven't heard it framed this way, but I think this is the Warriors (like Spurs 2014) redemption year. Maybe if they look too far ahead to the Finals, the Spurs or someone else can get them. BUT if they get to the Finals, and its the Cavs, I think you will see a Spurs 2014-like performance.

I guess it's poetic karma that the Winningnest Teammates in playoff basketball are all members of the Spurs' triumvirate...

After last night's game:

Tony Parker / Tim Duncan = 131 Wins
Tony Parker / Manu Ginobili = 131 Wins

Looks like those numbers will be locked in for that tie (for several years into the foreseeable future)...

[SASdynasty!]

16 PPG on 53% shooting, 58% from 3. What a renaissance, shame tbh.

I think Tony may have had that Injury the whole season, or something in that knee. That would explain him going slow during the season, maybe when he upped the pressure on that bruised knee during this playoffs stretch it finally broke.

Kind of what happened to Manu ankle in the 2008 Olympics, he played for the Spurs with that injury and the body sustained it, but it finally broke during the Olympics, sometimes you just have bad luck.

Let´s hope Tony has a good rest and is 100% for next year, he has shown he has plenty left in the tank.

[Dex]

Guess all the Parker haters got their fucking wish. Let's see how far the Spurs get with Mills and Murray running the show.

That was the year the Lakers raped the Spurs for four nights, there were millions of witnesses, and they still got off without any jail time.

d damn awesome sig dude

u made it?

[coachmac87]

This injury puts a really big dark cloud over the Spurs future...

Manu could retire

LMA looks checked out and could be on the move?

Parker could be out until All-Star break on final year of his contract...

Patty,Pau, Dedmon, Simmons, Lee all can easily be gone as well...

I think it's time to look really hard at all options going forward...

[in2deep]

Manu could retire



i thought you said "dark" cloud

[in2deep]

not worried tbh

as long as we have a healthy Kawhi, Spurs will be contenders. He is a beast the caliber of Lebron.

[TheGreatYacht]

i thought you said "dark" cloud
:lol

[Chillen]

Damn this sucks, a ruptured left quadriceps tendon, this will take months to heal (like maybe 6 months or longer). Get better Tony, you are a Spurs warrior, battle tested!

[TheGreatYacht]

So who's going to step up and help Kawhi score?

[Joseph Kony]

I assume that Parker will not be retiring, so does him being injured potentially for next season allow us any exceptions in terms of cap? I feel like i've seen the league make exceptions for teams in certain circumstances but cant specifically recall

Stop whining about asterisks, almost every title winning team gets some major breaks with injuries to opponents.

Not like the Warriors have. They were gifted that 2015 title on a silver platter. In 2016 they needed Durant to quit and then lost to the Cavs in 7 in the NBA Finals. This year, they play Portland/Utah/ and then an average Rockets team or the Spurs without Parker. Let's see then actually eliminate a healthy Cavs team for once.

And the Spurs benefited from Ibaka being hurt in 2014. From Nowitzki in 03. From Wade in 05 (no way Detroit was a better team than Miami that year). And then the suspensions and Dallas' fluke loss in 07. It's why I hate when fans here say they want the Spurs to beat the other team full strength. Almost no one wins a title without some breaks.

LMA is not a guy I expect to "step up." Clearly plays for pay not for winning. Parker, on the other hand, stepped up and played better than most ST posters ever expected. He gave us a puncher's chance. He will be missed. And he will be recognized for being a great Spur sooner rather than later - especially if this is a career ending injury. But the table also shows that Patty has been playing well, shooting a good TS%, and will easily get the starting nod now. I don't think the starting unit will be a big problem, but without Patty on the second unit, I expect it to be our demise - the domino-effect of losing Tony.

Yeah, in the context of Tony's injury dominating all of our thoughts and discussion, it seemed clear what he was saying, but... Anyway, Pop gave Simmons some minutes as the principal ball-handler of the second (well, mostly garbage :lol) unit for stretches during the RS. We may get to see if that pays off at all - at least for the remainder of this series. It would be way cool to see that guy put it all together and finish this series like he was going Groundhog Day against the Dubs in the season opener.

I would bench Ginobili if we are going to be pot stirring and talking about guys not scoring. Start Patty.
And to me, a bench of Simmons Murray Kyle and Bertans has no problem scoring whatsoever and they have good chemistry. You throw Manu in there and he's ball dominant, will want the ball for less efficiency shots than everyone else and to feel useful and like he's helping when in reality these guys have been fine when he's sitting. I am sure trolls are going to be out, but it's the truth.

This is unlikely to happen but consider that without his partner in Mills, Ginobili at this stage won't be the same. The roles have reversed. It wouldn't even surprise me if someone else but a Mills starts not bc of Mills but due to this factor.

Heh I expect any of the young guys that plays to step up more than I would expect of Lamarcus dude is either injured or he has no spine. Tony schooled him on what competing is.

After surgery, the patient will start with gentle passive range of motion with their physical therapist. The patient will be able to weight bear with all of their weight on their leg after a week or two, but will have to wear the brace they received after surgery locked straight for the first six weeks, except when doing their therapy. By six weeks post-op, the patient should have 90 degrees of flexion (bending) of the knee. After six weeks, progressive strengthening is started as well as increasing range of motion. Typically, the brace is discontinued at eight weeks from surgery. Light running is generally started at four months from surgery. Return to sport is governed by the ability to perform sport specific exercises and having adequate range of motion and strength. This is generally between 6-8 months from the day of surgery. It should be noted that rehabilitation protocols are often very specific to the type of injury and the type of repair that was achieved at the time of surgery. The above protocol is just an outline of “typical” rehabilitation.

http://www.sportsmd.com/hip-thigh-injuries/quadriceps-tendon-rupture/

In otherwords, no Parker for a long time.

[DPG21920]

I just wonder the impact it has on team morale? Will it be something that gives the guys a short-term boost as they rally around each other? Will it be deflating?

It concerns me some that as much as ST hates on TP, both Pop and Kawhi this year as TP struggled during the RS both basically said TP is critical to what they do. They basically said they would be concerned if there was no TP and here we have it.

Will be interesting for sure.

I just wonder the impact it has on team morale? Will it be something that gives the guys a short-term boost as they rally around each other? Will it be deflating?

It concerns me some that as much as ST hates on TP, both Pop and Kawhi this year as TP struggled during the RS both basically said TP is critical to what they do. They basically said they would be concerned if there was no TP and here we have it.

Will be interesting for sure.

I'm honestly not as worried as most. Yes, TP is a big blow, but Spurs have guys who are very capable and very thirsty ( Simmons/Murray).

I think the team is still confident they can get it done and I think this loss isn't a death blow like it would be if they lost Kawhi.

If Pop keeps going small w/ Kawhi at the 4 for atleast half the game, I like the Spurs to still win this series. Spurs have the players capable of stepping up.

Oh for sure it's nothing like losing Kawhi but it's a big deal for many reasons. Will it be a big enough deal to where SA can't overcome it? Maybe, but that is what we have to see.

I would bench Ginobili if we are going to be pot stirring and talking about guys not scoring. Start Patty.
And to me, a bench of Simmons Murray Kyle and Bertans has no problem scoring whatsoever and they have good chemistry. You throw Manu in there and he's ball dominant, will want the ball for less efficiency shots than everyone else and to feel useful and like he's helping when in reality these guys have been fine when he's sitting. I am sure trolls are going to be out, but it's the truth.

This is unlikely to happen but consider that without his partner in Mills, Ginobili at this stage won't be the same. The roles have reversed. It wouldn't even surprise me if someone else but a Mills starts not bc of Mills but due to this factor.

Yeah, I don't see Mills starting. Someone else will. Not sure if its Murray or not.

Sucks. Get well TP9.Paging Murray on line 3.........

Yeah, without Manu maybe your bench unit is better than I suggested. Personally, I would have benched Manu long, long ago. But Tony's injury probably means Pop will lean more heavily on Him and, perhaps, be even more tolerant of his miscues.

I would sure like to believe, but I am afraid I don't. But good for you, friend! :toast


However, I will be cheering them on as usual. :flag:

Kyle is a terrible matchup in this series, not sure why you continue to have a hard on for him to get used like a turn style.

If Spurs get past HOU, they'll be lucky to get 2 vs. Golden State.

This is basically against this round.
GSW was going to be a challenge even with a fully healthy team, specially bc Pop had an alleged strategy against them to punish them with bigs etc.. but as we have seen that strategy is not working out if you have bigs that are this soft and can't punish small ball. So, I would just play the younger players more and see what they can do... but I am not Pop obviously.

[UZER]

For the love of God, please do not start Manu.

Watch out dude, might get called a troll.
