Is that quote from tonight's game???????
“I don't know how bad it is,” Hill said. “I'll have to get an MRI this week. Still a lot of pain, though.”

Congrats Pop, you didn't play Ginobili and Duncan and got Hill injured in the process, guess the "half-ass" err... correction..."calculated" game plan really worked huh?
Yes, after the game.
Yes, just read it. Hill exited the locker room after the game tonight, without crutches.
three days of rest before game 1.
Just tweaked.
Should be ok for game 1.
ugh i hope hes alright. he shouldnt have been playing in the first place. dumbass medical staff
is there a medical staff that is more consistently wrong than the spurs'? i can't think of one. this has been going on for years now.ugh i hope hes alright. he shouldnt have been playing in the first place. dumbass medical staff
It's amazing how easily some of you guys . He could've tripped walking into his local HEB and some of you peeps would boycott the store and stop watching the Big 3 commercials.
He should be fine. It's all about pain management and limiting any kind of swelling. He walked off under his own power and while he may have limped out, you know what...
that's to be expected. He'll probably be doing alternate ice-pack then cool pack and have his foot locked into dorsiflexion for the evening. Then they'll go hydrotherapy to increase circulation, followed by exercises that specifically put the ankle in a position to accept work, and finally, a targeted massage to push out any kind of swelling. That's pretty much what's needed for the first 24-48 hours. He'll probably have the boot on for precautionary measures and then, he should be good to go.
You guys could say I'm wrong, but what if I'm right?
Check the Lakers!
If there is a risk, i prefer him to skip game one. ThatŽs the game weŽll have most rest after it (2 days) if he comes back for the second game on April 21th heŽll have 6 days rest, that should be enough.
Plus, you can overplay Manu a little bit given that he will have two days rest. I would do it if that assures me he will be fully healthy.
Totally agree. If any of you guys have played compe ive ball before, then you've probably busted your ankles a few times, so you realize that the first couple of games back are the worst.
First, I think Hill came back too quickly. His entire game is based on athleticism and that's what we look to get from him. Secondly, he hurt himself in a game Pop deemed meaningless because he rested our two best players, thereby damaging our chances in the playoffs.
There's no excuse for either, but there's definitely no excuse for playing Hill tonight. What was to be gained from this?
I will never understand Popovich as long as I live.
How about Portland's? From Walton to Oden.
Yo YO . Fishes baby daughter got cancer muthafukka. He earned the right to do whatever he feel. If he wants to drop another .4 on you all azz then it let it rain s

Before that happened, GHill probably wanted to play, to get his timing back and to help speed up the process of shedding rust. Say he plays well enough to get the W and doesn't get hurt? Then this ENTIRE board would be laughing at MavFan.
Again, a player can get hurt anywhere and anytime. It's a catch-22 for all professional teams. From the QB in football, to the mid-fielder in soccer, to the point guard in hoops... sometimes, the field of play is all they want, and you let them play. It's not like he wasn't ready to play. That drive to the hoop was a thing of beauty.
Yup...
If you listen to the apologists, Pop played Hill tonight because we were trying to win the game. In Pop's usual half-hearted, half-assedy, but still trying to win kind of way. It was a calculated move on POop's part. Because POop is such a calculating technician and all.
I don't think the message quite got through to the players that this was an important game that the spurs were still trying to win, albeit half-assedly, and Pop had to get in a few guys' faces and straighten em out, by golly.
The league should really reconsider its policy of allowing photographers to sit behind the baseline.. they pose a risk to players.
Shakespeare, is that you?
The first two paragraphs contradict each other. If the first two games back after an injury are the worst, then those would be games 1 and 2 of the playoffs if Pop hadn't played Hill.
Still better to have him healthy and playing bad for two games than injured and not playing at all.
Hill did play in a previous game. This wasn't his first game back, right? it was bad luck. I'm glad Parker didn't get injured too.
Dallas' confidence is probably good because they saw the same culprits from last playoffs shoot poorly.
I hope He returns to start the series with Dallas, because if we have to start Parker then we're surely doomed.....lol.
Any news on George? Just checking the sport sites and there is no news on him. Anything on radio or TV?
You give fake white eminim wannabes a bad name.
