Injection For Timmy

[ICE3000]

Since Duncans plantar facistis (or whatever) cannot get any worse and can only get better with a off season of rest do you guys think it would be wise for him to start getting injections in his sore foot for the playoffs so at least the pain will go away and he gan get back to being Timmy?

I heard that he does already????


I'm not sure though.

Sounds like a good idea. I had PF once but ever since I started injecting heroin between my toes I've been just fine.

This topic has been repeatedly discussed, search the forum and/or google:

cortico-steroid injections are not frequent or long-term treatment due to the risks:

Duncan seems to either be learning to play through the pain or it's already getting better. Why mess with it now? Other than the few games where he had the flu, he has been showing flashes of old Timmy.

Yep, Spurs staff want to be careful with Tim's tendons and ligaments.

Yes, I agree 100%. Timmy is ready. http://i1.tinypic.com/v8fvi8.gif

yes, lets pump our superstar full of meds :rolleyes



constant injections will dry out the tendons dummy

His lift, mobility and explosiveness looked better in the last two games than all season. I think his PF is probably actually getting better, so there's no need to give him any injections that may dry out his tendon/ligament.
