Congrats on figuring out I think that tonight's game is meaningful. I've only said so in almost every post in this thread. No really, this doesn't make you look any more ing re ed. No really.
Tonight meant ing nothing.
Coming into this season, during this season, and coming into the playoffs, the paramount concern was health. Will the Spurs be able to stay healthy heading into the playoffs?
Health was important. Health meant something. Making sure we are in position for home court against a specific team is total jackass.
Health is what mattered.
If getting number 1 overall seed mattered, we would have played last night.
By not playing last night, you're telling your players "okay, this game matters, but really, it doesnt"
Sitting them last night was the right move, playing them tonight is ing stupid.
Spurs were healthy 4 hours ago. Now we aren't. Because apparently tonight's game meant something.

We will still beat Grizz without Manu if he indeed misses that long. Might be a long series and nervous time, but we will prevail.
Manu's health is much more important than HCA, or matchups... no?
I suggested it wasn't the end of the world and that you guys make chicken little look calm. Thats all.
The Spurs would beat Memphis in the 1st round without Manu though.
Spurs would have a tough time WITH Manu against the Grizz...taking him out of the equation pretty much assures a 1 and done.

4-6 weeks with this hyperextended from Kurt thomas's HE elbow??? really
Manu's health is absolutely more important than both of those things.
But thanks to Pop, the Spurs now have horrible matchups and Manu's hurt.
So great ing move, tbh.
Somebody drag MannyisGod's bloody carcass from this thread before most of the smart posters here get arrested for gang rape.
Those take a long time to heal, months maybe.Thank you
Worst case scenario Manu can play with a torn muscle or ligament right?
You're a smart poster?
There are 2 posters I consider smart in here and one of them agreed with me.
Ok so why not sit all the starters after you clinch the playoffs?
It's different when you're 53 years old, and you're not in a hurry... treatment and a brace can cut that in half or more... just gotta wait for the MRI and see the severity of it...
Getting HCA in the West is why you play the starters throughout the year...once that is captured, then health is next on the priority scale...
Yeah he could play in a week or so, but how effective would he be with that brace on? Last year when he broke his nose he was basically done! He played but not effective. This is the worst time for this to happen, last game of the year. I wish it happened weeks go.
There is no fracture on Manu's elbow... might be gone for a week,maybe two...
So there's a 50/50 chance that you're a ing idiot.You're a smart poster?

You really love those coin toss situations.
Many of you guys are over-reacting. I will say that Bill Schoening says an X-Ray has been done and it came out negative. Which means no break. However...there is an MRI that needs to be done. The MRI shows the ligaments and tendons that an X-Ray CANNOT see.
Again, I think he misses game 1 but if the Spurs can't nut up and win a series against a #8 seed, then they don't deserve to go any further. With or without Manu, I feel that because Duncan is a better big than Z-Bo(I know the numbers don't say that but be real, Duncan is about to be unleashed,) and Parker is a better PG than Conley.
why did Pop play Manu tonight after resting him last night?
doesnt make sense imo
...or better yet, not at all. I mean, as long as we're wishing for nonsensical things.
What I posted since it was my opinion...can't speak for anyone else...Which is it is for you to decide...
WTF. If Pop was playing this game for the opportunity to flip a coin that might give him home court advantage in the case that the Spurs win three series and the Bulls win three series, then he's an idiot. I really don't think that's even why Manu was playing. It's ing inexplicable.
So just for fun, let's say the Spurs have a 70% chance to win the first round, 60% second round, and 50% the CF. And suppose the same for the Bulls. Then after all that, you get a 50% chance for HCA. Not to mention having to beat the Suns. And for the very small probability, you risk injury to a key player. Ignorance.
His brother's comment "lots of pain" doesn't sound good. Manu is not like Duncan - he takes a long time to get into rhythm.
Pop had no business playing them tonight - especially since he didn't play them last night. Smacks of fear of LA falling to #4.
Hill and Neal are going to have to step up early to make the series against memphis easier...
