For those of you wishing for Splitter to convince Pop that he's ready for prime time, this could end up a blessing in disguise. For those of you that think the Spurs' only chance of beating the Lakers is with size, this could be the turn of events that saves the season.
the irony is that duncan's minutes have been the most carefully managed.
So what happened to Nazr?
I just skimmed through the thread and that's all I got.
brutal schedule these next two weeks though....Spurs can't afford a meltdown with how the lakers have been playing.
god damn it tim sprains his ankle this time of year or in playoffs almost every year...WHAT THE FUCK
5 really tough games ahead. Without Duncan pray for 2 or 3 wins.
Dont worry guys
We still have the Lakers
TBH
Just terrible timing for an injury.
Not a lot of rest for Manu and TP :depressed
LaMarcus is already planning on baptizing Splitter...should be interesting to watch
Let's put it in perspective. It sucks balls but at least it didn't end the season. We got this.

It shouldn't be a problem. The Spurs have enough of a lead that their seeding should be safe. It might be good for the Spurs actually. I just think you should make sure and rest Duncan at least for a couple of weeks. Did I mention we play the Spurs twice over the next 2 weeks? :toast
The Spurs have a 7 game lead with 12 to play. There's wiggle room to let TD heal and rest Manu and Parker down the stretch. Splitter came through with a double double and helped the team tonight, and this is his chance to grab onto a rotation spot. I think the Spurs are in great shape as long as TD actually comes back healed and limber with some gas in the tank in 2 - 2 1/2 weeks and everything else stays fine.
Dont get too excited about Splitters stats vs Warriors. That said, Splitter will do okay in Duncan's absence...it's been that kind of season.
don't be surprised if duncan plays this week
It's a positive showing, which is a lot better than if he sucked against the Warriors.Quote:

That would be idiotic. Do you know how bad his conditioning would be? Shutting him down for the first round? Imagine if that happened, he would look awful on court.Quote:

highly unlikely yes, but the Spurs have a brutal 5 games ahead (6 if you count the b2b against Houston)....Quote:
