Timmy's got the flu

[Solid D]

According to KSAT noon report, Tim was missing from practice today. Pop said "Timmy's got the flu and he may or may not make the team trip to Toronto. We'll read it and fly him up...someplace depending on how sick or how he feels."

[Duncanoypi]

Get well soon Timmy...(as if he can read this...)

[head]

:depressed I hope it isn't the flu that I had. I was laid out for 2 weeks. :(

[angel_luv]

Oh poor Timmy. I'll pray for him.

Get better soon!

[leemajors]

he better not go near his kid then, infants can catch something like that easily =[

[Ishta]

Get Well Soon..

[HB22inSA]

Oh great, he gets 5 days off and he gets sick on the 5th day!!!

[Solid D]

If it were just Mt. Cedar fever - which has been so bad this week for so many people in San Antonio - then Tim would be better off leaving town to get better. If it's the flu, that's different.

[Spurminator]

Is this the Michael Jordan bug, or the real flu?

[Jimcs50]

they can beat Toronto w/o him...let him meet the team in NJ on Friday

[lilmads]

Oh great, he gets 5 days off and he gets sick on the 5th day!!!

That's life... :( Hope he gets better real soon!

The team already left SA and Tim WAS on the flight. Doesn't mean he'll play, though.

Get your brian out of the gutter, ducks :)

lol they could be filming a porno for all i care, whatever helps timmy feel better! I didnt' pay $80 for a starting lineup of rasho and horry! :oops

[ducks]

[timvp]

Horry? How about Rasho and Marks.

:hat

[SouthernFried]

So many confuse Cedar Fever with the Flu. I even know some doctors who have. Especially the very first time they get it, which is always the worst.

Timmy lives in Cedar Central, in Helotes, right?

[ducks]

rasho has stepped up big time before when duncan was OUT
rasho just can not score when duncan is on the court

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Horry? How about Rasho and Marks.

:hat

haha oh man, i mean normally if timmy is sick he should stay home but this is my ONE time all year i get to see him (unless the raptors make the finals!) serves me right for dissing him at every oppurtunity!

does anyone know (and i'm sure its different for each arena) that if you show up like an hour or so before tip off if you're allowed near the court to talk to some players or is security really anal at most arenas?

[TwoHandJam]

What the heck is Cedar fever? :wtf

[leemajors]

the cedar in the hill country blooms, pollen everywhere. lots of people have really bad reactions to it.

[George W Bush]

I once got in a fight with Cedar.
I won.
God Bless America. :tu

[sanman53]

Get well Timothy!

[exstatic]

Question: If Tim is sick, how will we know by his play? He's been pretty lethargic (looking) all season because of the PF.

[Rummpd]

So many things are called the "flu". Unless he has a specific viral test and some specific symptoms - it could be any of many things (i.e. adenovirus or rotavirus).

He is a father and alot these things could be potentially caught from his daughter - as a pediatrician and publc health doctor kids are "biowarfare at its best". Non-immuno-suppresed adults usually have much less symptoms with most common viruses than children but not always (i.e. adults get chickenpox typically worse than children usually).

That being said I doubt he would have traveled with the team, if he was symptomatic still.

[TDMVPDPOY]

Good excuse to get on the bench hahaha, his been waitin for the perfect time to pull a sicky

[RaptorsFan]

That's too bad. Bosh usually brings his A game when he goes against elite PFs, hopefully Chris still brings it tomorrow night.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

lol i'll be at the game tommorow and as decent as Bosh is, the raptors are a black hole that he's waiting to gtf out of as soon as his contract expires. firing the idiotic babcock managers was the best move toronto has done in years but it might be too late.

TIM DUNCAN UPDATE

Duncan may Sit Out

[milkyway21]

TIM DUNCAN UPDATE

Duncan may Sit Out

(note:but not bec. some Spurs fans want him to :D)

Johnny Ludden
Express-News Staff Writer

TORONTO — Somewhere between rested and rusty, but certainly not healthy, the Spurs returned to 30,000 feet Tuesday.

They left behind the 80-degree comfort of home for a blanket of snow and a date tonight against Toronto at the Air Canada Centre, though they can't be sure Tim Duncan will play. He missed Tuesday's practice with flu symptoms.

Given the option of remaining home until he feels better, Duncan flew here with the team — a sign he might try to play tonight. He will be re-evaluated this morning. :cry

Though Duncan has played on a sore right foot all season, he has yet to miss a game. Spurs officials had hoped the five-day break between the team's coast-to-coast travels would help him rest.

Apparently, the time off also gave him the opportunity to get sick. And a five-game, nine-day trip through the East's winter chill — after tonight, the Spurs play at New Jersey, Indiana, Cleveland and Philadelphia — doesn't sound like the best prescription.





Robert Horry, playing against Kevin Garnett and the Timberwolves last month, has missed eight of the last nine games.

The extended break also didn't completely help Nick Van Exel, who received a second cortisone shot for his left elbow Monday. Depending on how Van Exel reacts to the injection, the Spurs think he will play at some point in the trip.

Van Exel received his first injection Dec. 30 but played only three weeks before the pain returned. After sitting out the past three games, he had hoped the time off would keep him from needing another shot.

Robert Horry, meanwhile, should be able to play tonight after missing eight of the past nine games with a lower abdominal strain. Fabricio Oberto, who sprained his left ankle last week in Portland, participated in parts of Tuesday's practice and is expected to return some time during the trip.

The Spurs, so far, have done a good job of plugging the holes.

"In case somebody gets hurt and can't play for five, six games, we have somebody who can step up," Manu Ginobili said. "And we're still going to be good."

Beno Udrih played well in place of Van Exel over the trip's first three games. Sean Marks averaged 6.0 points and 5.0 rebounds and was one of the team's most consistent shooters off the bench.

Marks' teammates and coaches have kidded him about his trigger — he squeezed off seven shots in 12 minutes against Golden State — but he's under orders to fire away.

"If he's in the gym," coach Gregg Popovich said, "I want him to shoot it."

The Spurs hope their layoff doesn't slow their momentum. They extended their winning streak to six games, matching their longest of the season, by sweeping the first leg of the annual rodeo trip.

I think I would have preferred to rest two or three (days)," Ginobili said. "Not five."

Though far from mistake-free, the Spurs beat Utah, Portland and Golden State last week with defense and late-game execution. Each game presented the pressure the team needs to improve, Tony Parker said.

Since losing to Detroit on Jan. 12 — a game Parker called "a wakeup call" — the Spurs have gone 10-1. They would like to continue to roll into the All-Star break.

"The last couple of years we always use the month of February to come together and get some tough wins on the road," Parker said. "Hopefully we can do the same thing this year. We have a good start so far."

------------------------------------
Questions:

1. Tim Duncan travelled with the team. If he sits will he be wearing a suit while on bench? :lol (finally).

2. His stats are down and had trouble with his defense (esp vs. Golden State)lately, is this a good news or bad news that Duncan will finally sit and give way to other Spurs to play some minutes in his abscence?

3. Can this team win the game without Duncan?

[BAGUIO_BOYKR]

CAN ANYBODY SHOW ME SOME OF TIM'S WIFE PICS? TANK U' :spin

[BAGUIO_BOYKR]

:rolleyes anyway, what kind of flu is that? hope not a bird that come from china? or vietnam? lol :spin ..get well soon timmy!

[Parkersgirl9]

hey maybe he will play just to avoid wearing a suit. Or I bet they dress him saying he it will be a game time decision and hold him back in uni.

[Vashner]

Get well soon Tim!

Send someone to get score some caldo from downtown... the real shit with cabbage....

Our city's secret flu weapon.

[TDMVPDPOY]

give him crack to sniff and he be alright and take a 2 year holiday break :D

[pache100]

What the heck is Cedar fever? :wtf

It feels like the flu, symptoms can be very similar, ranging from fevers to nausea to aches to head/chest congestion and sore throat. But, it's an allergy to mountain cedar pollen that causes it. And if you have it, it usually lasts as long at the mountain cedar pollen comes in on the wind from the north and west. It doesn't go away in a week like the flu.

[FromWayDowntown]

play or no play - Timmy and the rest of the spursies will still get an L tonight

In their effort to emulate the Timberwolves, no doubt.

[NASpurs]

According to the ever so reliable KSAT12, he's not going to play tonight.

[Vashner]

That cedar fever hit me earlier today I passed out for about 5 hours (sleeping).

It's like a brick hits you..

[Solid D]

According to PJ Carlesimo interviewed by Dick Stockton, Timmy's not looking good. He dressed out but he's not doing well at all, so........ he'll sit this one out.

[Solid D]

Horry and Nick are ready, though.

[tlongII]

I predict Chris Bosh will have a big game.

[Solid D]

Question: Did Chris Bosh go to the Pau Gasol school of facial expressions?

[milkyway21]

play or no play - Timmy and the rest of the spursies will still get an L tonight..why? are we in the bottom of the Western conference?


coming from fan of a team who is used to get beaten all the time.

:wtf

[Rummpd]

S. Marks is the Man!

[Winnipeg_Spur]

Duncan for DPOY! :)

[Bugs Bunny]

It's about time Timmy says,

ehh, What's up Doc?

[Brutalis]

whats timmys status for tomorrow? im guessing a warm seat at home...

we need that win @ nj bad..

[Budkin]

We're not winning @NJ unless Timmy plays.

[smeagol]

Does anybody know if he is playing tomorrow?

I have good tickets for that game . . .

[WalterBenitez]

any update about TD's condition? will he play tomorrow?

[rascal]

Hope he plays. I'm getting zero points so far from him this week in my fantasy league.

[Vashner]

Everyone knows Tim hates to miss a game period so it will all depend. The dude would play sick if they team let him.

[gotta]

Hi friend
As you said early according to news paper report, Tim was missing from practice that day. Pop said he got the flu and he may or may not make the team trip to Toronto. We'll read it and fly him up someplace depending on how sick or how he feels. it is good habit that you want to go with him, my friend tell me about tamiflu drug it is very important drug, it has less side effects, for more tamiflu information see- http://www.drugdelivery.ca/s3353-s-tamiflu.aspx this url has all tamiflu information.
