Pop was in a very good spirits with the media today and sounded optimistic when talking about Manu's progress. More to come...
more from the spurs.com twitter........"Pop was in a very good spirits with the media today and sounded optimistic when talking about Manu's progress. More to come..."
Manu just threw down a dunk in running through offensive sets. Nice :)
From Spurs.com twitter.
I wonder what makes Pop sound so different than his comment the other day about Manu being out another week or two at least......CIA Pop? Did something change?
"obricio7 Good work Manu was a good one!! 3 minutes ago"
I hope they aren't playing with my emotions right now. This would be a huge bright spot for me today, or in the last week in general.
Wonderfull!
UnleasH the Manu
We'll have the most complete Manu practice video as soon as we wrap up here. Hopefully we'll get to talk with him. Stay tuned.
From Spurs.com twitter... WOOHOO!
I just pulled a horrible prank on my mother. She has got to be one of, if not the biggest Spurs fans I know. She's at work, and doesn't get a lot of opportunities to look at things like this. I told her Manu was out for the season...She said "NO!" Then I said "no" and told her the good news...lol..made it sound even better..
" spursdotcom We'll have the most complete Manu practice video as soon as we wrap up here. Hopefully we'll get to talk with him. Stay tuned 3 minutes ago from Tweetie"
Pray for Manu, Pray for Manu.
Good karma spread!!!
Obricio7 twitter...
Nice dunk by Manu-Wow!
I guess, if his ankle doesn't hurt after practice, he's gold....
Not playing with your emotions. He's practicing, and looking REAL good.Quote:

Ok we won't be talking with Manu today. We have plenty of video from practice though. Awaiting on Drew Gooden to talk with us.
From the twitter..
ST member Chasky had the "Manu 2008 interrupted season" on a link in a thread. It was awesome. Surely, made me miss Manu even more. What a dynamic talent he is to the Spurs.
The Spurs and Pop have done a commendable management of the team considering all the injuries that have plagued them all season. Here's to Manu's health.:toast
We're desperate, can't you tell?:lolQuote:

You don't have to join to check out the updates. It just lets people know what's going on in your life up the second. Spurs.com is the website and Orbicio7 is Fabricio Oberto..we just posted on here from his Twitter.Quote:

As far as our desperation goes, hell yeah we're desperate for Manu!
From what I've researched, Manu's injury right now is basically about dealing with pain. If the bone has healed sufficiently, the only thing that would keep him out is pain in the area. So his return basically comes down to waking up one day and the pain is at a manageable level.
Hopefully that day was today and he can go vs. Boston :hungry:
if you have a twitter account though you can set it to "follow" a bunch of people and you see their updates directly instead of having to click through each one. i use it pretty much for basketball players and personalities only. interesting to hear their thoughts.
I hope so..I have tickets.Quote:

We can order them via ST here, and have our avatar on the sleeve or something, as a way to recognize eachother and give a knowing nod. Plus, Timvp and Kori and whoever else started this site can make a little money off their hard work. :kingQuote:

Eh, if the MRIs show the bone has healed and his pain has reduced to a point he can deal with it, additional rest won't help much. Might as well throw him out there and start the process of getting him back into rhythm.Quote:

It's good to see him feeling good enough to dunk in practice. The fact that the coaching staff is OK with it makes me think he is closer to coming back than further. Hopefully we get some extra info in the video.

Sorry, I wasn't posting in 2006. Didn't even know of ST then. Just wondering.:stirpot:
I ordered an ST t-shirt back then and I got one with mouse's face stamped on the back :vomit:Quote:

Manu practices (some), eases concerns (some)
By Jeff McDonald on Mar 19, 2009 1:20 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)
Thursday was a D-Day of sorts for Manu Ginobili. Spurs coach Gregg Popovich had said if Ginobili was unable to get on the floor for practice by this day, that's when it would be time to worry.
Well, Ginobili was out on the practice floor this morning. It's too early to call "crisis averted," but it was an encouraging sign.
"It's the next step in getting him back to whole," Popovich said after the session.
Ginobili has missed 16 consecutive games with a stress reaction in his right ankle. Thursday marked four weeks since the prognosis of two-to-three weeks inintially offered by the team's medical staff.
This morning, Ginobili played a some one-one-one, did some scripted offense and defense, and -- perhaps most importantly -- worked out at full speed. He even dunked once, video you're likely to see on everybody's newscast tonight.
It would be premature to expect Ginobili in all his glory to be making an appearance on an NBA floor near you soon. By the end of full-court drills, Ginobili was sucking wind.
Just the fact that Ginobili's sore right ankle allowed him to do more today than he could do yesterday was clearly a heartening development for the Spurs. Popovich said it will be at least a week more before he will even consider getting Ginobili into a game.
"When he's able to play without fear of making it worse, that's when he'll play," Popovich said. "When's he's on a track where it's just getting better and better all the time and he can't go backwards, that's when he's going to play. When is that? Heck, I don't know."
What is clear is that Thursday's practice, and more like it, will give the Spurs medical staff a better sense of when Ginobili might be ready for action.
"You can tell in workouts if guys are favoring a foot," Popovich said. "The court is what gives us those answers. For him to get on the court today, and play a little of both offense and defense, starts to make a picture for us to look at. But it will be at least a week before we start to get serious about whether he's going to play or not."
A week would be the LAC game which is what http://news.nationalgeographic.com/n...w-bird_big.jpg said....
Exactly what I was thinking...but wasn't itQuote:

No surprises here.
Oh and yes, exactly what Tweetie Bird said, Manu will be back against the Clippers. ST member Phila Chambers and the tweetie might just be right.:toast
i don't think so. no reason to do so right now. he's been out for a month, its not going to be one practice and back.Quote:

Just posted a new thread/poll on t-shirts..everyone check it out and vote..
A Portland game a possibility
Full speed + 1 on 1 play - we are gonna see the reaction of the body for that practice and then we will be a little bit smarter
Clippers !!!!
:tu Good call!Quote:
