Hadn't seen the NBA.com report posted yet.

I don't know why everyone is so worried when a few weeks ago you all couldn't wait to trade Manu. It seems to depend if the Spurs win that night.

Spurs lose to Lakers, Manu has to go, he is a waste of a pay check. Spurs beat NY? and your all trip over each other to be the first to toss his salad.

As far as Chris Duel goes he should check with Peter Burns to see if he was just trying to start a friendly riff between the two sports stations before he says on live radio that Peter is a piece of .

It's not like Duel has never said stuff to get a reaction before. I thought he had tougher skin. You don't see me get upset after he belittled me last week saying I was not worthy to call the show. If it wasn't for my homeboy Johnny Fingers on the show I would not listen.

I'm not sure of the medical procedure but perhaps the Spurs first thought it was a stress fracture and then further examination showed it to be a stress reaction? Unless Ludden writes an article about it we may never know . . .

But as far as I can tell, this is just about the best possible outcome considering the fears of the last 48 hours.

you are are a waste of badwidth

[Chomag]

Well, this is good news. At least he can be back this season.

I hope those 3 weeks will be enought

More than ever Pop need to put Bruce back in the starting 5. We'll not outscore anybody with Manu out. It's time to go back the old Spurs D to win games without Manu

Yep, this will now be a great time to get Bowen and Hairston some good playing time, but Finley GOD NO!!! I would rather beat my head against a brick wall and have an aneurysm then watching 30+ minutes a game of Finley

[bdictjames]

Should be more PT for George Hill.

Manu, get better. Hopefully the spurs stay afloat.

[Alex Jones]

Hey, Peter, Chris Duel is calling you out.

Chris is lost like the black boxes on 9/11

Making Cat's Cradles helps him relieve stress.

[Bruno]

Great news.

Let's hope he will fully recover for the playoffs.

I don't think seeding is that big of a deal to san antonio. outside of the lakers, we match up well with pretty much every other playoff team.

barring a huge slide to the 8th seed, i don't really care where we end up as long as we are healthy.

Spurs can take Detroit, Washington, Dallas, Portland, Clippers, and Charlotte in those games sooo....

[nkdlunch]

yup. Playoff seeding for Spurs is officially out the window. Main goal is to come into the playoffs healthy

I think these two games against Detroit and Washington will be harder than expected...kind of like the Toronto/New York games.

Going 10-2 in that stretch would be damn good. And if Manu's back in 3 weeks, no way he misses the Laker game.

I can see the Spurs going 10-2 in that stretch, but most likely it will be 8-4 or something, which is still good.

[benefactor]

Good to hear. We will only need him when the real season starts in April.

There are 2 teams in the West that I'd hate to not have HCA against... Blazers and Suns. Very streaky teams with loads of talent. The Rose Garden is quite hard to win in.

[crc21209]

If the Spurs go 10-2, they will be 45-19. If they go 8-4, they will be 43-21. Not bad seeing as most of the teams in the 4-8 positions have about 19-23 losses right now already.

[Agloco]

i can slowly step off the ledge now.

A healthy manu in the POs = a chance against ANY team. I'll take that right now.

Go Spurs.

Off of? Or back from?

[Fpoonsie]

Last week he turned his back on Mouse and bashed him for having many screen names, then he wouldn't let him on the caller hall of fame list even though mouse called on day one and is a legend. I think Chris is losing it.

He is not half the man I thought he was.

God, mouse, you're ing annoying. I'd love to put you on ignore for each time you get butt-hurt over a lack of illegitimate notoriety, but it seems pointless because the task of blocking EACH one of your asinine screen names seems endless. [sigh]

[spurschick]

This has got to be rough on him emotionally as well. Hang in there dude.
