Ginobili

the fact manu is 32 and has injury problems is a big sign and a trend could be likely..one more injury and he is done.

Spurs bench >>>>> Lakers bench.

Manu will not be starting, so that gives the Spurs a bench of:

Ginobili
Hill
Hairston
Blair
Bonner/Haislip

While the second unit for the Lakers looks like:

Vujacic
Farmar
Walton
Brown
Mbenga/Powell

Spurs bench >>>>>> Lakers bench, and it ain't even close.

Odom is on our bench and he cancels Manu out, provided Trapper John releases Manu from MASH.

LOL @ Lakerfan actually believing Odom=Manu. The same guy your Laker brethren complain is inconsistent and plays with no heart 90% of the time?

Oh I get it now, you must be an old hippie. Keep on puffin and buying your own bull . Next you'll say that Luke Walton is a future HOF'er...

The fact that Andrew Bynum is 21 and has had 2 MAJOR injuries says a lot more...

Big men with knee surgeries don't have a history of getting beck to their pre-surgery form very often. Oh but Bynum is a Laker, so he's superhuman and can do it, right?

I don't think Odom plays without heart. He definitely plays without a brain at times, though.

Dunc, do you know for a fact that he actually got cut on those injuries? I was under an impression that it was just physical rehab.

I ain't f'in around or tryin' to set you up. I honestly don't know and would like to confirm the particulars.

The one that ended his 2008 season was a surgery. Arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. Had one of those done myself in high school.

The one in 2009 was a torn MCL in his RIGHT knee. (2 bad knees!) No actual surgery on that one.

Thanks.

Just perusing the various post in this thread, if you didn't know better, you'd think Manu is finished....he should just retire!

If for some inane reason, the Spurs decide not to attempt to resign Ginobili, I would love to see just how many teams would line up in an attempt to sign him. I'd think that line will be pretty long providing his health is good.

[Culburn369]

providing his health is good.

I don't care if Manu has an amazing season, I just want him to have an amazing playoff run in the 20-some actually important games of the year.
