Every West teams fans are saying the Spurs are done and want them in the 1st round...

[de Soto]

You don't play around Ginobili, because there are no two Ginobili's in this league. As simple as that.

Are you a doper cholo or just re ed?

[urunobili]

I don't wish injury on any player so I feel bad for Ginobili. However, I would LOVE to play the Spurs in the playoffs now. It would be a free pass to the 2nd round.

Can't wait...

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

You're making too much of the fact that Ginobili has always been a streaky and unreliable player. He is the reason Lakers beat the Spurs in the playoffs last year. All Ginobili had to put forth was a "normal" effort but he totally choked like a mav.

This team would have two less les without Ginobili's contributions. He was hurt against LA last year, but thanks for playing.

Not really, the money Ginobili gets paid buys equally valuable and way more RELIABLE talent in the NBA. Plain and simple.

You show who you are in every post... enough said really.
I've seen re s rarely get pinked temporarily in these forums, but you must definitely ride the short bus daily.

The guy definitely deserved pinkage and more.

The only thing that is coming in loud and clear on this thread is that de Soto is a dumb ass who doesn't know which end is up. This particular injury for Manu happened during the game on Sunday. He was healthy for more than one game after rehabilitating the previous injury.

One has to be a Spurs fan through hard times and good times. I would be happy as with effort and close games, no matter how far we go. I fully expect our team, Pop, and the coaches to make the former come true, and that will guarantee the latter will also happen.

didn't the spurs beat the blazers without manu and duncan this season?hmmmmm spurs are still a good team without manu

[Brazil]

It's time for big TP show. I say rest him and TP untill the last two games of regular season and unleash in the first round against whatever team it doesn't matter now.

[Mike Smrek]

Hornets, Blazers, Rockets, Jazz...

I say bring them on !!!

Beware what you wish, because the Spurs will give you nightmares !!!

The beast is wounded, but not dead yet !
They will fight till the end... and beyond !
They are true champions, they will not surrender !

So come on, the Spurs and their fans are waiting for you.

Beware what you wish, because the Spurs will make you cry !

You forgot to add the Lakers to your list. I would love to send the Spurs on another vacation (would that be five this decade? I lose track...) before they break up the team.

[SA210]

Bring them on!

that's the best post i read today. i can understand other fans being happy and disrespecting us. but our own fans are acting like this, that's crazy.

we will give some hard time to any team in this PO before we go down, whatever the round it will be. and i still haven't quit on us winning it all.

can not speak for him but i am a little of both haha,why you got a line thru your name like a name crossed out on a graffiti wall?

You beat me to it.

Free pass for Portland? bwahahahahaha. Portland is good but they're not there yet tlong.

You really are a dumbass if you refuse to give Ginobili credit for why this team wins and wins Championships!

Sorry, but that is just stupid. Mike Dunleavy, Larry Hughes or Jason Richardson are some guys that get the amount of money Manu makes this year. Are you seriously saying that one of those guys is even to close to Manu when it comes to talent, experience and guts?

[crc21209]

I still believe we can make it to the WCF's without Manu. Beating the Lakers would be very difficult though. But they could still beat the Hornets, Rockets, Blazers, Nuggets, Jazz in my opinion.

[HarlemHeat37]

the West is actually REALLY weak this season..even without Ginobili, we can make it to the conference finals..

even the Lakers are overrated, but they're going to get a free pass, unlike the East, where Cleveland-Boston-Orlando will have to play each other in the 2nd round..
