I dont think TP should settle for J's when he comes back...
Just this morning, Tony Parker uploaded a video onto his Facebook page. It was an autograph session and you could clearly hear a fan ask him, "When are you coming back?" He politely and confidently responds, "Next week."
It should be interesting how Popovich eases Parker into the lineup.
His shooting touch should be somewhat back by the playoffs if he indeed is back next week.
Nevertheless, the Spurs are not going anywhere without Parker this year. He is going to be extremely important and I am excited to hear from him that he indeed will be back before the playoffs start!
Let's go get another

Yep will be very interesting how Popped brings Parker back.
My hope is that Pop breaks him into the 2nd unit, and after he gets back to speed keeps him there thus making him the spurs' new 6th man, while starting lineup remains unchanged.
If I was a betting man though, what we'll probably see is 1 or 2 games of coming off the bench then Parker back into the starting lineup.
Even though the team will kick major ass in those two games and chemistry will flow like a mountain spring, the whole "Parker as a 6th man" idea probably won't even register in Popped's brain.
Hope that is accurate. It would help TP get back into game-shape and shooting rhythm before the playoffs.
I was surprised to see TP's fg% with his jump shot is not very good, low 40's; i though it was closer to mid. He should not be shooting jump shots too often when there are guys with higher fg% for jump shots (basically all other rotation players).
We need to get him in playoff shape, and quickly.
his tweaked ankle and PF should be completely healed.. he should be as quick as ever in the open court and getting to the rim.
He is going to need some time to get in game shape and probably won't have a lot of minutes as Pop isn't going to risk re-injury and lose him completely for the playoffs. I still see Hill getting more minutes until TP has some time to mesh with everyone. I think the biggest issue this year has been a lack of chemistry and right now it seems like it is as good as it has been all year long and he probably doesn't want to mess with that too much. But then again, it is Pop.
He had a broken hand. Why would he Have not been running all along?
assuming he hasnt... he did have a mild ankle sprain this year and plantar fascitis that had been bothering him all season... Im sure he let those rests as well.
He should be good to go. Injury free.
"Settle" being the keyword. I think he should ease into driving the paint so hard at first. The worst thing would be for him to reinjure that hand with defenders swatting down at the ball. Also, his jumpshot will be a good indicator of how his hand has healed since there is fuller range of motion in a jumpshot than in a layup.
If his feet, ankles and legs feel good and he has decent lift in his shot, he is actually a pretty good jumpshooter. Especially in those pick n' pop plays.
The ankle was fine when he broke his hand and the PF won't go away in a matter of a few weeks. I'm sure he didn't just stop jogging/ running at all because that would basically reduce his shape so much he'd take a month to get it back. He's been running, probably in the pool too, all along. He should be in shape, just not game shape yet but that shouldn't take long if he's in shape.
So basically, he's got one week to get in game shape before flying to LA for the first 2 games.
Tony and Blair coming off the bench would be great

If we get 2009 TP back it adds a whole new dimension to this team.
yeah so? You want a in medal or something?
I know I should be excited about this, but I'm not. Just seems a little too good to be true.
Parker's known for being a quick healer, but if he comes back too early and takes a shot to that hand or whatever, he'll be right back in a dress coat.
Well we don't have time to wait, he and RJ need to learn to play well together since Parker has to be the starter.
They couldn't do it for 50 games but I'm sure with just a little bit more effort and whatnot they'll get it right in the last 3 games.
C'mon we just need to believe it and will happen people!
You just said the same thing I said. You made it sound like Parker running is some sort of big indication he's almost ready to play. My point was he had a hand injury so running would not be an indicator of . Make sense?
It should be next Friday at the very earliest.
get me in to some practices homey
Spurs will not be playing LA in the first round.
almost certainly will be.
almost certainly will be.
if not then dallas, which for us would be even worse.
