I love your sig...it's so bad.
Obviously, it's not good news, but the Spurs will be fine.
Hill will start. Quinn will be his backup and Manu will continue to be the catalyst and provide ballhandling duties, as he always has.
If Neal is ready to play - even better. I would also expect Pop will mix in healthy doses of both Neal and Anderson - instead of one or the other - to help offset Manu workload.
Spurs will be fine.

This will actually make the Spurs better against my numba 1 team! JJ Barea blows right past TONY and now it will make it harder for JJ the all-star to get around that nino hill. Adios!
not good timing. the Spurs have a brutal March, hopefully Neal comes back soon because we're going to need all the bodies to get through this month.
Is Bibby really worse than Quinn or Temple? I find that hard to believe. Not that I hate Quinn, but still....
We play good teams from now on, so I guess we'll lose the 1 seed. I just hope we get some better back up than Quinn.
You are correct Blackjack!
This is the reason why the Spurs having a good start has been important.
At least it is happening now and not going into the playoffs.
The only concern is with Hill running the offense too predictably and Manu taking on too much of a load. Don't want Manu to wear down going into the playoffs.
Unfortunately, no team escapes the injury bug for a full 82 game season.
o? Information? Number for the Erie Bayhawks, please.
Bibby is a piece of swiss cheese - and an older piece, at that. If the Spurs go out and sign a player, Ford would probably be the way to go.
i think TP comes back for the GS game on Mar. 21st.
10 games before then with 2 against Miami, one against the Lakers and Dallas
Gonna be a tough stretch but if we go 6-4, it'd mean a lot in securing home court at least in West.
6-4 is very doable and 7-3 isnt much of a stretch either. i think we split the miami games, lose the laker and dallas game.
In addition to Temple, Blake Ahearn is on their roster.
Mugen,
I agree with going 6-4 during that stretch. But, I think they can win the Lakers game at home on Sunday though.
Bibby is a better shooter, but he is an absolute defensive sieve - even in his prime. Now that he's at the backend of his career, he's probably even worse defensively than before. The Spurs have enough scoring and don't need a piece of swiss cheese at the PG position.
Give me Temple, Quinn or the combination of both.
Two weeks and I'm not worried. Four weeks and I'm worried. So I'm hoping it's closer to the former. That said, I'd rather Pop be cautious and not bring him back to early.
It's time to see George Hill and Chris Quinn step it up. But from what I've seen, they're capable of doing so.
Temple is 6'5 or 6'6 like his height at point than Bibby.
I hope Spurs fans don't freak out. It's not like last year when the Spurs were fighting for the 7th/8th seed.
Too late!!
Supergirl,
I will go between you and say it's 3 weeks.
TP may be ready in 2 weeks and the Spurs (Pop in particular) while hold him out an extra week for precautionary measures.
Spurs will be fine.
It will hurt against the upcoming Miami games, but provided a loss and then a meeting in the Finals, it will also give the team the knowledge that they werent at full strength.
Granted I expect the Spurs to beat Miami even without Parker.
Just means its time for Timmy to start getting into playoff shape a bit early. That's ok.
That sucks.
I hate injuries to any team. I'm sure he will be 100% come playoff time. Hopefully he is.
Not sure why people are so pessimistic about their lead evaporating. 5.5 games with only like 25 games left is a pretty large lead. They are going to have to have quite a meltdown from this injury if they are to completely blow that lead. I expect the Mavs and Lakers to gain some ground, but I doubt that the Spurs lose the #1 seed.
Tony missed 16 of the final 23 games last season. Spurs managed to go 11-5 while he was out.
Yeah....you maybe right.
But being 49-10 gives you a cushion instead of 35-24 like last year.
The crappy thing with this is that there will be no resting the big 3 at the end of the season. Because we're going to lose most or all of the lead we have, we'll have to fight it out to keep the HCA we worked so hard for. And be realistic. With the slate of tough games along with the Mavs cakewalk schedule, it's going to be neck and neck now.
and we've got more depth at the G position than we did last year, with Manu, Hill, Quinn, and Neal.
What's with all this bull about losing the #1 seed??? We have a 6 game lead on the Mavs and Celtics, 6.5 on Miami, and 8 on the Bulls and Lakers. Do you really think the Mavs, Celtics, Heat, Bulls, or Lakers are going to run the table now? Even if we lose another 10 games down the stretch we'll still keep HCA throughout the playoffs. Nobody is going to catch us now. It's all about what we do with our #1 seed in the playoffs.
You will without a doubt see Neal running some PG while TP is out...
