    Answers my question. If Manu was really hurting to a serious point...he would put something like "Not feeling healthy after today, or my leg is very sore but I'll be fine" or something along those lines.
    It took weeks for Manu to acknowledge is last injury. And this close to the playoffs, the Spurs are going to be extra secretive about injuries. No reason to give the first round opponent free scouting tips.

    If Manu is favoring his leg then i think you need to let him start with TP and TD.

    I dont think he can handle the heavy load of the offense off the bench if hes not 100%...especially in the playoffs.

    Then why would Buck Harvey mention his leg being sore from Friday? Being sore after a game is fine to me. Especially after you havent played for a couple months. we normal people are sore from 1 day of working out. He's just getting back into his groove so soreness is probably normal/ok. He looked fine out there movement wise, he just bricked alot of 3's today. The one drive he had today, he made.

    I think we're getting a little ahead of ourselves here. I'd like to hear a little more from either Manu or Pop about what's this about. Maybe it's just sore from playing extended minutes last friday?

    That was the first game he played that many mins in since he's been back so I think some soreness/tiredness is probably normal/ok. There is a difference between being sore and being hurt.

    The Spurs always keep things close. We didn't know about Duncan's Planter Fasciitis for a couple of months (maybe more?) in the '05-'06 season.

    I hope it's just soreness. this team has had it's score of bad luck already. I was surprised though that Manu played so many minutes in Friday's game.

    Thus the soreness. Like I said there is a difference between Buck saying Manu was sore or Manu was hurting.

    Buck Harvey has too much man-love for Popovich. Almost as much as Don Harris.

    If it meant starting Bowen and playing Hill over Vaughn, then yeah I hope so.

    spurs just need to bench manu if he is not healthy
    mason was fine without manu
    mason has struggled with manu back
    if no manu mason knows he will get minutes and get back on track

    when your ankles are bothering you MANU YOU DO NOT SHOT LONG THREE POINTERS
    WHY YOU MISS
    YOU HAVE NO STRENGTH
    manu is hurting the team more then helping them by playing

    Mason was struggling before Manu came back. You just love to hate.
    I was just waiting for you to cling on this article and start spreading the hateorade.
    Fact is Manu didn't have a good game and is still getting his conditioning. Nothing more, nothing else.

    if he is favoring his leg you do not play him
    and you trade him for what you can in the offseason

    Duncan knees are hurting, do we trade him in the offseason too? Let's trade everybody but Tony!

    40% Duncan does not help the Spurs either. But that's what we have and what we're going to have to roll with.
