PHO sounds good then.
Still don't care too much. Just want him to be able to stay playing.

Aldridge will be fine, and we need both of them if the Spurs hope to go anywhere this year. Don't see the point at taking shots at the guy who has kept us afloat all season.Quote:

Fuck Zaza. Dude needs to take a very short ride with JR Smith in the worse way.
So has it now pushed back.
And, Chinook, do you think it started with that Zaza play? You don't think he'd be in the same place right now if it wasn't for the Zaza injury? From what Kawhi said in that short interview, it sounds like it's an overuse injury, and the Spurs medical crew and doctors may not have done a great job with the rehab, or on telling him what he should be doing in the off-season to not worsen it. Do you simply think it's completely on Kawhi's side mentally?

Love Kawhi but availability is a skill and my man has been found lacking throughout his career..Just a lot of games missed for someone so young, and who who has never dealt with a serious injury so far..
He’s on level with Anthony Davis in regards to games played per season :tdQuote:

Wanted him there for the Rockettes game
Anthony Davis actually averages more games played per season. :lolQuote:

Kawhi has played 72 and 74 games the last 2 years respectively. He was trending upwards, and factor in a couple of those being rest, and it's no big deal really.
This quad thing seemed to really be an anomaly, and assuming he fully heals from it, no reason he shouldn't be at 74-76 games moving forward, barring any other injuries
This is shocking :wowQuote:

You can't assume anything at this point. For all we know, it may be chronic.Quote:

The Spurs have announced Kawhi, Anderson, Parker (injury return management), Pau (rest), and Manu (rest) are all out for tonight’s game at Phoenix.
Danny Green (tightness, left groin) is questionable.
I cant imagine they playing green
Wonder if firbes starting
A fact is a fact..
AD has the injury-prone rep around the league and Kawhi doesn't because Davis mostly pick them up on-court and mid games...Kawhi will get it soon if this trend continues ..
:wowQuote:

But I will say then, backup SF is a really important spot for this team. They must keep one of Rudy or Kyle at all costs.
This games per season stat for Kawhi and Davis is misleading because it includes Kawhi's 2011 season, which was shorter and he played in 64 of 66 games. Davis was drafted the next summer. Also, it doesn't include rest games.
Games Missed:Quote:

The numbers speak for the themselves. :rolleyes
Kawh is just as fragile as Davis and nobody is paying attention or wants to admit it ...
