Manu Injury Thread

[NZ Spurs]

You act as if playing in an NBA game is like running across I10 blindfolded. The chances of injury in any given game are low. It was easily worth the risk.

They are Basketball players, they play basketball.

you know what's even lower risk though? Not playing them in a meaningless ing game.

Back on topic. Since I know nothing about injuries, what is the worst the MRI could reveal? A tear? Is that plausible since he didn't look like he tore anything?

The chance to win a coin flip on the off chance the Bulls make it to the Finals was not worth the injury risk...the bang to hype ratio on this game "mattering" is way out of wack...unfortunately for us, this game "matters" now for all the wrong reasons since it pretty much kills our chances going forward.

You guys are so irrational I wonder how the you function on a daily basis without an IV of zoloft. Manu will likely be in uniform this weekend and you're acting like someone just punched your mother in the nuts.

You keep saying that word meaningless but you obviously do not know what it means.

Kurt Hinrich had a hyperextended elbow this yr and he missed 4 games or a week.

Please shine upon SA, God.

I love how half the forum becomes psychic after an injury occurs.

Apparently Manu is fine china only to be brought out on special occasions.

[Mugen]

Why not just rest your starters after you clinch a playoff spot?

Horrible argument.

Spurs not only had clinched a playoff spot but they clinched 1st seed throughout the West.

you really need to go out there and risk injury to flip a coin with the Bulls?

[wontstartdumbthreads]

Worst case scenario he'll need a week to heal and may miss the first two games, then you figure he will need a third game to redevelop some rhythm. Hopefully the Spurs can take care of bidness without him at home during the first two games.

How the is that the worst case scenario. If you give me a choice between that and the unknown, I'll take the former.

LOTS OF PAIN! HOLY F IN SHYT, MRI negative is good but that sounds bad.

I thjought it said xrays were negative. The MRI is the one to worry about. totally different.

[Spurs Brazil]

.Rx negativo! Dolor y esperar nuevos estudios, lo pero no se dio, veremos si seguimos en la buena y con mucho de hielo pase!

[Josepatches_]

I hope they didn't play in the second half.

It would be one of the most stupids moves by Pop.

In fact it will be better to win last night.We could send Lakers to the 3rd seed so Memphis could fight for the win tonight.


Now we lost Manu,we lost the HCA and we are a joke in the league.Teams tank to face us while we are afraid of other team so tank to avoid them.Great

Manu was in uniform against PHO last year, but couldn't breathe, and played like .

[Vic Petro]

If Popovich sat everyone tonight and then the Spurs came out flat in Game 1 and lost, then a meltdown thread of a different kind would have been started about what an idiot Pop is for sitting his starters too long and preventing them from getting rhythm for the playoffs. The guy can't win with some of you. If something went wrong, Pop should have foreseen it and done the opposite. Give me a break.

[Mugen]

You keep saying that word meaningless but you obviously do not know what it means.

Apparently "Meaningful" to you is being able to flip a coin with a team that's probably not getting to the Finals.

[Cant_Be_Faded]

@ the thought that giving players a night off made them more susceptible to injury. ing WOW>

the thought of you dismissing Grant Hill giving 110% and a player givng 75% leading only to good things

[mexicanjunior]

Manu will likely be in uniform this weekend and you're acting like someone just punched your mother in the nuts.

If you can guarantee he will be uniform and at 100% (or at least the percent he was before this game), I will gladly agree with you. But since you can't...

They can look at muscle tissue and ligaments. MRI doesn't use ionizing radiation, so the athletes can undergo them on a much more regular frequency than they could with X-Ray.

Obviously Pops fault for playing him after they already had 3 wins in the Dallas series.

[Mugen]

I love how half the forum becomes psychic after an injury occurs.

After the Laker game, I said there was no way in that Pop should play the Big 3 tonight as did most people.

Just didn't make sense to play them tonight and now they're paying the price.

Thank you

Worst case scenario Manu can play with a torn muscle or ligament right?

[Capt Bringdown]

Ah yes, the "Spurfans are stupid" card.

[mexicanjunior]

Apparently Manu is fine china only to be brought out on special occasions.

Pop decided to bring the fine China to a homeless shelter and hoped for the best...

No.

You suggested that simply having Manu in uniform was enough. I disagree.
