Per ESPN 1250 Manu to miss two to three weeks

[Mugen]

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.

Suns had the HC advantage in 2005 and 2007. If it were up to me, I would want the spurs to play every playoff game in Phoenix.

I don't think anybody on the Blazers has any type of significant playoff experience at all.

the only team that i wouldnt want to play in the first round is Dallas. even then i dont think it would be that big of a problem

[Mugen]

Off of? Or back from?

I'll let you know in June.

[Chris Duel]

Wasn't this the same station that yesterday said that Rasheed to Spurs was done, and that Manu was out for the year. Just saying...

Peter,

Now that you're on-air, maybe you should learn a thing or two about accuracy before you LIE about our show or our radio station.

Our station NEVER said what you posted. We did cite L.J. and Kori's posts because, unlike you, we respect them.

Regarding your Sheed lie, nothing remotely close to that was said by any of us or any of our callers.

Thanks for listening to our station, but get the wax out of your ears and grow the up.

Not that I wanted Manu to miss more time, but it could be a good thing from an experience stand point for Mason & Hill who will undoubtly get more PT. Maybe Hill can regain the aggression he had earlier in the season, when both Manu and TP were out.

[ElNono]

Spurs avoided a potentially career-ending stress fracture on Manu.
to the medical staff that was able to detect this early. This is actually something you can treat, and the team just needs to hold down the fort until he comes back.
If anything, he definitely will be rested come playoff time.

You got it all wrong... this means more playing time for Finley

1) I am relieved. The whole thing -no explanation, press conference, press release, out for the season- sounded, it looked really bad.
Essentially, no serious illness.

2) It is a good thing that no ligament is involved.

3) However, I don't have the foggiest idea of what a stress reaction is. And I should know. It could be an inflammatory reaction; since there was no apparent traumatic cause for it, most likely this is caused by a compensatory posture, which is common on the ankle/knee/hip opposite to the one that received surgery. Expecially for a lefthanded, the right ankle is more solicited.
In this case, 10 days of rest and then rehab and conditioning.
One month on the safe side.

It could also be stress fracture, not necessarily a major one, and in this case it would take longer, but Manu could still be back for the playoffs.

noooo :P

They're distinctly different. A response is what happens before a fracture.

I don't mind if we play against The Lakers in the first round.If we want to win the NBA we will have to play against them anyway.Even If I have to choose I would like to be the 8th.Last year we were tired in the WCF so it could be more easy if we face them in the first or second round.

I don't know too much about it but is there more bone being laid down in response to the stress? It's a type of inflammatory response right?

[ElNono]

My understanding is that it's an overload of the muscles that hold that bone in place. If they're too overworked they don't hold the bone appropriately, eventually causing a fracture. That's why the treatment involves resting the muscles without putting any weight on it, so they can gain strength, and hold the bone in place. Disclaimer: I'm not a doctor.

Ah I see. So this might have been caused by Manu favoring his left ankle by placing more constant pressures on his right ankle?

Peter,

grow the up.

Correct.

[Walter Day]

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]

Do be hating on mouse, you will get your 15 minutes also hang in there!

[Shastafarian]

Radiology on the interwebs!

[ElNono]

Maybe. It could also just be that he needed a slower pace coming back from not playing for a while. Or he just need some strengthening exercises on those ankles (obviously after he's healed). You don't really do anything special about this kind of stuff until is detected. So now you set up a program to do recovery and rehabilitation. After that, you can set up another program to minimize the possibility of reoccurrence.

[temujin]

Over a long period of time, yes.
However, disconfort kicks in way before this happens.
Hence the stop.

If you ignore this, or worse, you treat it with anti-inflammatory drugs AND play on it, then you are running into a microfracture. Which then takes longer to heal.

Dude take your balls out of your wife's purse already and learn to take some smack now and then, your soccer mom act is not helping your ST street creds at all.

How do you know what mouse posted if you have him blocked?

How dare you talk bad about the best sports caster San Antonio has ever had? You couldn't hold Peter Burn's jock strap! :
