He is the master of Deception, Misdirection, and Perfection!!!
Yes, they are excellent radiologists. No imaging study is perfect. We will know soon hopefully exactly what Manu's injury is.
Travel time to Detroit?
I would think they'd just have a conference call.
Wouldn't it be easier for Pop and Sevening to travel to San Antonio to meet with the doctors, RC and Manu? This is the same Pop who interrupted a road trip so he could go court Damon Stoudamire . . .
Me too. But does that qualify as a "meeting" in McDonald's mind? Maybe they have to do a "show and tell" with Xrays, etc.
That would make a lot of sense. You can play through that but it's a little risky. Hence, the need for lots of disucssions.
I remember when McHale played through his stress fracture in his foot to try and win a le against the Lakers. (Believe it or not, he was once more than just a bumbling GM.) He was dam valiant, but never the same afterwards.
They can do all that via the internet. Maybe there is another reason to have them all in Detroit.
I was talking to a friend about it and he also said that
I'm becoming more and more hopeful that this really is some sort of ploy by the Spurs FO. Especially since I really hate to think about any of the alternatives.
The way they are handling this situation and reporting this injury doesn't coincide with how the Spurs have in the past. It seems like they are usually pretty cut and dry with their reports; I can't remember a past situation like this were nobody even knows what the this phantom injury is.
It seems like an awful lot of mystery and allusion to be allowed to brew over something that could be a huge blow to the season for fans. It seems like the Spurs normally would have explained more unless they are purposefully trying to hide their hand.
Worst possible scenario. A stress fracture in the foot for a basketball player is likely the end.
I really don't think that Manu would be allowed by Pop or the medical staff to play on an unhealed stress fracture.
IT's the worst news this season if the story is ture. oh...pure f*******!
pray
Dang. I don't refresh for about 30 minutes, and the thread grows by 5 pages?
The reason the Spurs havent issued a statement in regards to the severity of the injury is most likely so that possible trading partners dont view them as desperate. If the Nets know Manu is out for the season, and the FO comes at them with a borderline offer for Carter, they no they have the Spurs by the nuts.
Hopefully they can get a deal done NOW for Carter before this news gets out. And it will probably have to include Hill - which i am fine with if Manu is indeed out for the season.
Geez! I come home tonight to find this! WTF! This is so depressing.
Get well Manu. (crossing fingers it is a very big intox)
Ginobili ankle injury raises questions
By Jeff McDonald on Feb 18, 2009 6:24 PM
AUBURN HILLS, Mich. -- Manu Ginobili has been ruled out of Thursday's game against the Pistons, as well as the final game of the Spurs' rodeo road trip against Washington on Saturday.
Ginobili missed Tuesday's loss at New York, remaining in San Antonio for tests and treatment on what the team has termed a sore right ankle.
The Spurs did not disclose the scope and severity of his injury Wednesday. A source within the organization says the injury in not considered a threat to end Ginobili's season.
Ginobili underwent a battery of tests Tuesday, including an MRI. Team doctors are scheduled to meet with coach Gregg Popovich, general manager R.C. Buford and athletic trainer Will Sevening on Thursday to discuss the findings
This makes the most sense to me...
It's Stern 's fault
So....would you rather give up possibly both Mason and Hill or at least one for VC?....or let Portland get him?
If Ginobili is out for the year, let's just stand pat and work on getting a decent pick for next year's draft. There's no point in getting VC right now, if it's still not enough to beat the Lakers in the West. Let's just wait for some offseason moves and see where it leads us.
someone should get fired if that's the case
