a mask? gimme a ing break. Manu will play even without a nose. this is the playoffs. masks are for pussies

[Cherry]

Hopefully it's not bad enough for a mask. Because the mask will take some time for him to adjust.

Can they made one in 24 hours?

You do realize the implications of dropping game 4 at home and going back to dallas to start a best of 3 series where they have home court, right?

No . But, as I said before, that's why he didn't let the medical staff look at him. They might not have let him back on because he ran the risk of getting it hit again and doing some real damage.

Watchout. That MannyIsGod guy might come attack you for saying that.

Boo fricken hoo. Grow a pair.

what the is "some real damage" dude's nose was jacked already. that. Manu can live with a gimp of a nose. he will be 100% for game 4.

So a guy breaks his nose, he's having internal nosebleeds and trouble breathing. Then someone brings their elbow down on it again. Think there might be a problem?

I'm not saying Manu isn't ing awesome. I'm saying they would have tried to keep him out if he had let them.

You can always count on Rick Renner for a cheezeball line...

For some reason when I read your post I thought it said he shouldn't play, as in shouldn't play in game 4... my bad lol

[Danny.Zhu]

I recall Manu got hurt below his eye in a series versus the Suns, Marion or Stoudmire?

And we won the championship that year right?

[ezau]

I think he's gonna play in game 4 with a mask. If he ever plays with a mask, I just hope Manu can immediately adjust

It was Marion. Duncan had a good postgame laugh at Manu's expense after that game as well:

"It looked pretty bad actually, it still looks pretty bad," Duncan said of Ginobili. "But ... it fixed his shot, so it might be the other eye on Monday."

http://tweetphoto.com/19681328 My nose is definitely broken. Tmrw CT Scan & the docs will decide what to do. Hurts a bit but I'm all right

[JustinJDW]

There's no way in Manu won't play in Game 4. No way.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

He's going to need a mask.

I swear it's almost Tales From The Darkside-esque.......if he gets a mask and it's black-opaque, he seriously fulfills his destiny from Halloween and become "Batman"

[Supreme_Being]

OMG if Manu's going to wear a mask it better be Batman's mask.

[ffadicted]

Manu on FB:

I don't have a perfect nose any more! ;-). Fractured during the game. It hurts a bit but I'm doing ok. Tmrw CT scan.

glad to see he's taking it lightly and feels alright

[timvp]

Manu has been hit on the nose like 23423412352134123123 times during his basketball career. I'm shocked he actually broke his nose this time. He used to joke that his nose must be indestructible.

I'm not too concerned because Manu will definitely keep playing but a mask could hurt his jumper. Hopefully they allow him to play without a mask ... somehow.

[Mr.Robinson]

it will swell up more tomorrow..... he may even have Black eyes...... Fracture and broken noses aint no joke..... but he will play through it

I've had three broken noses. He is going to be in pain tomorrow and specially Sunday. But he will be pissed and out for blood. He attacked and attacked after the elbow.

[50 cent]

Wouldn't the 2nd day swelling be more annoying with a mask?

I wouldn't want to play with it.

the first thing you said is why you should be concerned if they allow him to play without a mask...
