F' the Olympics

**baseline bum** · 03-20-2005

First they David over, now Tim too. you IOC.

**ZStomp** · 03-20-2005

I agree. I wish TD hadn't played in them.....did TD hurt his ankle in the summer?

I mean what does the Olympics have to do with TD injury?

**themvp** · 03-20-2005

Yeah, I agree too.

**exstatic** · 03-20-2005

When your body is overstressed and overused, everything is loose, and you're much more prone to injury. Manu and Tim are both feeling that now.

Yea...I reckon.

Ugh!

**whottt** · 03-20-2005

What sucks is that Parker, Beno and Rasho are slated for international duty during the Summer for the next few seasons...

I don't think we'll ever have to worry about Duncan and international ball again

. I think Manu is going to limit his international play to the Olympics from now on.

**ducks** · 03-20-2005

beno has already stated that he is leaning of NØT Playing internetational ball

**Slomo** · 03-20-2005

Beno has repeatedly said he won't play in the EC 2005.

And I don't get it why do you blame the IOC?

**boutons** · 03-20-2005

Tim's ankle has NOTHING to do with the Olympics, and everything to do with Rasheed's foot. dumbass

**baseline bum** · 03-20-2005

Sheed had it all right...

CTC... Cut the Check... risking injury for nothing.

**exstatic** · 03-20-2005

Bull .

**Gummi** · 03-20-2005

I have to agree with over-using your body. Both Tim and Manu have been banged up for most of the season. Tim has been very unlucky with injuries this season and the last one too. It's not like he's old so it must be too much preasure on the body.

At least he's done with it. I'm glad he's not playing anymore for the US national team.

He's pissed at them for existing...Playing in the Olympics pretty much ended David Robinson's career as a SuperStar(the 96 Olympics where he played with a hernia and was never the same player)...and Duncan has gotten injured every season he has played international ball in the Summer.

If it makes you feel better I am sure bbum sends a big you to FIBA as well.

**baseline bum** · 03-20-2005

Go yourself boutons. This injury has been happening over and over all season, and not having a ing break because of the bull sham Olympics is most likely a large contributing factor... it happens every ing time people play in this bull international summer crap... look at Ray Allen, Iverson, McGrady, Duncan, Kidd, Carter, and Brand last year.

God I hope you are not saying this injury was intentional. PLEASE tell me you're not saying that.

**bonesinaz** · 03-20-2005

TD's injury has everything to do with the olympics. Overuse has got to be the #1 reason for injuries in sports.

Been a Spurfan long?

Duncan has been injured every season he has played international ball. Every season. And he's been healthy every season he hasn't.

It probably cost us our le defense in 00. It probably cost us HCA throughout the playoffs last season...no telling what it will cost us this season.

**SequSpur** · 03-20-2005

**picnroll** · 03-20-2005

btw Duncan obviously has a weakened right ankle from multiple recent sprains. Why is he landing with his right foot taking the weight like he did on Sheed's foot?

**Kori Ellis** · 03-20-2005

Did he even land on Rasheed's foot? In the replay we saw it looked like he landed on his own foot.

He landed on Rasheed's foot on his toe.

Only Duncan's toe came down on Rasheed's foot, so I don't understand how he turned his ankle so badly.

Duncan has some really weak ankles, he always gets injured on his landing.

**MannyIsGod** · 03-20-2005

It's not the ankles, it's his shoes.

His recent ankle problems started when he switched over to Adidas and I had several problems with Adidas basketball shoes. My best friend also rolled his ankle a ton of times in the Tmacs, which are Adidas.

I'm telling you, those shoes are horrible, and he needs to have them design them with much better ankle support.

Blame the shoes all you want.

I played a whole season with Adidas last year and I was fine.

**picnroll** · 03-20-2005

His left foot came down first behind his right which landed on Sheeds foot yet he put his weight on his right on landing and turned it. He could have easily landed with weight on his left or a balanced landing and let the solid foot take the weight. Does he try to land right footed because his left knee is a bit f' up. Guy needs to ski bumps then he'll learn quick weight adjustment on his feet. Think Pop will go for that?

**ALVAREZ6** · 03-20-2005

Left foot?

I thought his left foot landed on the ground.
