More sad news. Sometimes I'd wish you would not post this ish.
Ginobili sees doctors about stiff ankle
Jeff McDonald
CLEVELAND — Spurs guard Manu Ginobili left Quicken Loans Arena on Sunday afternoon displaying nary a trace of a limp.
He was on his way to meet with the Spurs' medical staff to determine whether the stiffness he felt in his right ankle during the team's 101-81 loss to Cleveland was anything to be alarmed about.
“I was a little sore,” Ginobili said. “I played a lot of minutes (Friday) in Indiana, with not much rest in between. I really don't know the reason it was sore. I'll talk to the doctors, and we'll see. I want to see if it's normal or not.”
Ginobili had four points in 22 minutes and 36 seconds against the Cavs and missed all six of his 3-point shots. He did not play in the fourth quarter.
It was Ginobili's sixth game back after missing 19 games with a stress reaction in the ankle. He said the ankle began getting stiff Sunday after he went to the bench early in the game.
Daily day-to-day: Tim Duncan, meanwhile, is still playing through sore knees, though it was difficult to tell what role that played in his six-point performance against the Cavs.
Before the game, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he was hopeful that he might have Duncan at full strength by the time the playoffs come around.
“His health is kind of going to be a day-to-day thing,” Popovich said. “There's no meter. He doesn't jump on a scale. If he was feeling bad, he's not likely to tell you. He just plays.”
Impressed, but: With Sunday's victory, Cleveland improved to 37-1 at Quicken Loans Arena, tying a franchise record for home wins.
Color at least one Spurs player partially impressed.
“That's good, but you have to win big games on the road if you want to win championships,” Tony Parker said. “It's good to play good at home, but at some point you have to win a big one on the road.”
Too much info: Cleveland coach Mike Brown is so meticulous that he's been known to iron his socks before tipoff.
Popovich, who had Brown on his staff from 2000-03, recalls witnessing some of his former assistant's more obsessive-compulsive habits firsthand.
“Nobody else could take a shower when he was in there,” Popovich said. “However long it would take you to shower, it takes him three times as long. He needed not one, but three or four wash rags to get through that shower. Which I thought was quite odd.”

awesome
sadly looking more and more like Manu won't be a Spur in the upcoming years..
This isn't news, this is just another day for the Spurs in 2009.
manu for who though?
It's not fair to bash Manu for being sore after coming off an injury. So try to control yourself, haters. (And yes, I did delete four posts in row. Don't make me waste my time tending to this crap.)
The Spurs are going as far as Tony can take them this year.
I should've enjoyed that '07 Championship even more than I did, the future looks bleek
if he was so sore why did he not tell pop and not play at all today
spurs need him more in playoffs then the cavs
"He said the ankle began getting stiff Sunday after he went to the bench early in the game."
wtf parker first the okc diss and now this . Can ESPN please stop asking him questionsImpressed, but: With Sunday's victory, Cleveland improved to 37-1 at Quicken Loans Arena, tying a franchise record for home wins.

manu should have said he was sore before the game publically now he is playing the card because he sucked ass today
tp speaks the truth
yeah, yeah
Shut up already.
Damn ESPN! Has Mason been the same since that reporter called him the wrong name? That's why he isn't playing like RMJ anymore! It's like voodoo!
that's true maybe if he was capable of getting up for OKC they would actually beat them this year
spurs do not have to beat okc to win it all
spurs got swepted by cavs and swepted them in the playoffs
Did I get deleted? I wasn't hatin'
Your post was quoting someone who got deleted. So yes, you got deleted too.
This sucks.
I agree,their home record is better than our s that one Championship year where we only lost 3 at home--give credit where credit is due, ...funny though.

1) This sucks.
2) I wish Manu wasn't so open about his injuries to the public. Look how Duncan is handling his injury and follow that model. Giving free info out there that you're gimpy allows other teams to figure out how to guard him. Talk about it in your Facebook or to the Argentina press but not to easily accessible sources. Thanks.
3) At this point, Manu has to play no matter what. You can't rest him until the playoffs because he'd be totally out of rhythm. It's either shut him down for the season or keep playing.
4)
he should use twitter and not facebook1) This sucks.
