Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
David Lee > Pau
My only complaint is that this didn't happen closer to the playoffs so he'd be out for season. Also we have to hope Lee stays healthy with the increase in minutes. I remember he had durability issues.

That wouldn't be smart smh. Murray had a nice game, but he's been very inconsistent, which is expected for such a young player. He's gotta mature.
TP is needed, especially the way he's been playing.

Spurs defense about to get a whole lot better.

Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
My concern is not only the strain it puts on players physically when key rotational players go out, but how this team is still working things out (despite the very solid play all things considered). This could be 2-4 weeks of really crucial lost time with Pau and continuing to improve.
Not that it means SA will lose all the time, but it's extra wear and tear and truly valuable lost time together.
Hopefully the silver linings somewhat offset that (Dedmon being forced into more minutes and having to learn not to foul, Lee getting more confident, Bertans getting valuable minutes more consistently.)

Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
Pau will be missed on Saturday, tbh. That game just got tougher.

You know you're old AF when you break your hand warming up.

It's Slomo's fault tho.

Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
I knew there was a reason we didnt trade Kyle yet

Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
Carl Landry?
Nazr Muhammed?

Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
What is the estimate on the time range?

Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
Hate to say it, and the Spurs will miss his buckets vs the dregs of the league, but this could be blessing in disguise as far as Dedmon building some trust with Pop for the playoffs.

Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
If he sits an extended time, I hate to think about the kind of shape he'll be in when he comes back

Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
Spurs will be more entertaining to watch while he's gone, at least:tu

If he was going to get injured then this was the perfect timing as it will force Pop to play Dedmon & get him acclimated to playing w/ the starters. If he plays well then he should get more rotation minutes when Pau returns to the line-up.

Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
From what I read if there is not surgery needed probably looking at 4-6 weeks.

I know there is blame on Kyle but dude is not that strong to be breaking bones TBH.
:lol
....
Actually outside of the kidding...
what objective stated is true. If he has to be out of the game a month and a half he will be in terrible shape for the playoffs.
It's looking like Lee will step up.
I am sure the others will too, in due time.

This was too funny.
I apologize if it hurts anyone's feelings.

Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
Will other teams double LMA more without Gasol? That's my only concern.
I mean they won't respect Dedmon on offense and who knows how they will cover Lee.
If LMA gets double teamed every play I just hope our shooters to step up...

They managed just fine with Tim last season and he was no shooting threat.
I think Dedmon or Lee should be fine... but we shall see.... its probably game by game... I am guessing.

Re: Gasol injury thread: Broken fourth metacarpal on left hand
He can still stay in shape with a busted hand.. Coaches will make him run some almost every day I'm sure.
