At his age there's no point in risking a quick return and a career ender... he's still has another year in his contract...
Take your time, and as far as Houston goes, as long as they're missing 3s and not getting phantom calls, we can compete, IMO...
We are losing this series without Parker
I challenge you to an ELE bet on this
what's the bet, exactly?Quote:

Fuck that pussy shit

You obviously agree we are fucked without Parker
Thanks for proving it
His career is pretty much over if its an acl tear, or microfracture. At his age it's impossible to recover from that type of injury.Quote:

I just got through watching that play several times. He didn't come down on his left leg at all, and his left was hanging while he was in the air. Pretty sure he hurt it launching. And when a guy goes down like that, and there's no contact, it's often a ligament. Looking at where he was rubbing, I'm thinking maybe LCL. Even if they say it's a severe "knee sprain", those usually involve some small tearing. I don't think we see him again this season - I just don't think Pop will put him back on the floor any time soon, even if it's a sprain, and risk a full ligament tear.
I don't know anything more than what we could see on TV, but I know a bit about sports injuries. I think it would be a minor miracle if he gets back on the court this season. I don't know... maybe if it's officially a sprain, and they make it to the Finals. But if you have it recorded, look at the way that left leg is hanging on his way up. That looks like a ligament tear as he was launching.
Edit: Sometimes when an MCL gets strained/torn that way, it hurts on both sides. But he wasn't rubbing where I would expect for ACL. Still bad, and still likely to take too long to heal for this playoff run.
Do we have anyone that can make 4 assists per game tho?
Get ready for it...Quote:

Never saw Tony get carried off the court before. If it's not season ending it will be very good fortune for the Spurs. It's probably season ending and if the Spurs go one to play the Warriors in the WCF, yet another break for that team.

It's not out of the question.Quote:

Sources close to the Spurs are saying that Tony Parker has suffered a torn ACL.
Might be ACL as posted by some. Terrible for us :-( Prayers for Tony...
If what David Aldridge is reporting is true, that's it for TP.

A lot of people are speculating MCL or ACL tear, but I think he might have torn his quad. Yes, I know that he was rubbing his knee.
Kori back :wow
Does it matter he is done fuck
I agree with you hundred percent. I find Warriors-Cavs less excited then watching Full House reruns.Quote:

Spurs announce it: MRI reveals ruptured left quadriceps tendon for Tony Parker. He will miss the remainder of the playoffs.
If the Spurs by some miracle win it all this year, TP should be Finals MVP. :lolQuote:

No. He wants to play 4 more years. He will try to come back. I am convinced of itQuote:

I hope he does make a comeback. But would prefer his time with the spurs to end when that contract expires at the end of next season. Dont mind him coming back on a low end contract but couldnt stomach a 1 year 14 million contract like manu. That would screw everything up cap wise next summer.Quote:

shouldnt have written him off but so happy he hit a high gear in the playoffs. Props to tony and good luck with a comeback.
Sad day... Very sad. My hope is that Murray can gain some vet control, all of a sudden, and show this team he can be it's PG going forward. He could do it.Quote:

Yeah, I was hoping I wasn't right, but when timvp and I rewatched the play last night, we both thought it wasn't ACL/MCL and that it was his quad. The reason I thought that was because TP was perplexed when it happened - like people are when their Achilles gets torn... all of sudden their body is disconnected. I assume it was a horrible rupture.Quote:
Originally Posted by GSH

You and me have been bros this past season... It's been fun discoursing with you.Quote:

I think he will play again but it makes you wonder if he will ever be the same player. Spurs will have to explore options of a trade or something if they want to stay an NBA title contender since he could be out to February of 2018. That could have been Parker's last game as a Spur.
TBHQuote:

That wouldn't help them acquire another player for next season, because the season would basically be over. But... if they spend themselves into the lux tax acquiring players, could shedding his salary at the end of the season (from the medical exception) reduce their salary total enough to get them back under the lux tax threshold? That at least would save them a chunk of cash, and keep them from being repeat offenders on the tax.
At the very least, I think they could stretch his last year, and THEN apply for the medical exception this time next year, and avoid the cap hit for his second and third years of the stretch.
That's sort of callous, less than 24 hours after the injury, but the show must go on. Regardless of what "some people" think of Tony, he's had an incredible career here, and his number will be hanging in the rafter soon after he retires - as it should. I'm just looking at, "What will the Spurs do now?"
