Ankle turns/sprains are usually due to overstress which causes those joints and muscles to be weakened and susceptible. Of course it could have been a freak accident but it's not likely.
It's obvious that Blair & Bonner are both major defensive liablities, McDyess was too old to be the #2 big next to Duncan even the season before this one. And predictably, Duncan's ankle gave out a week after Pop's genius "tweaking" of the lineup which saw McDyess once again "returned" to the starting lineup when Duncan needed the guy with more size, strength, and youth (Tiago Splitter).
And it probably didn't help team morale that Pop was fellating the lakers in the press at every opportunity.
Maybe you can explain why Tim was medically overstressed, doctor.
Go ahead.
Now an ankle turn is an "overstress" injury?
You guys are hilarious.
Maybe you can explain why Bonner should be a major rotation player?
Go ahead. In detail,please.
I have stated plainly several times he is overused.
So now explain in detail how turning one's ankle during a basketball game is due to overstress, doctor.
Wrong poster. Never mentioned TD's ankle.
I know, but TJ is being a pussy about it and you guys have a nice little bromance going, so I figured you might have a line on his thinking.
manu might believe but reality is spurs have to make changes
parker is living in reality
splitter would really have to improve if spurs do not make changes if they contend and even get to the wcf
Chumdumpster
Do you deny that weaker ankles are at a higher risk of rolling/turning?
Your medical opinion is that Duncan's ankles were weaker due to what, doctor?
lol career low in minutes for Duncan. You need to realize he and Manu are around 35 years old now. Very unlikely either of them makes it through a whole season healthy again.... even if Dwight Howard is suiting up next to Tim and especially if Manu plays this summer for Argentina.
We all know what went wrong. We all know what we need, and we all know who doesn't need to be playing.
And of course Manu still believes. is a ing beast and a man. He isn't a little like Parker.
Already told you. Having to be the lone enforcer in the paint all year long. Really not all that complicated to figure out. Same old story as the past 4 years. Timmy worn down to the nub late in the season thanks to Pop pairing him with gingers and soft 3's who can't carry their weight, so instead the extra ends up on Timmy's shoulders.
You should probably know this movie by now, we've seen some variation of it 4 years running so far.
Saving 3-4 extra minutes a game doesn't mean much compared to having to carry the burden for the other 25.
That isn't a medical opinion.
How does being the "lone enforcer" affect the actual tissue in question, doctor?
And need I remind:
Jason Kidd - 38 years old
Shawn Marion - 33
Jason Terry - 34
Dirk - 32
You don't need a doctor to use common sense.
So you just made it up.
OK. You've done that before.
Do what you do dumpster. Yawn.
As long as people like you and TJ make up such easily exposed bull -- you make it simple.
Do what you do dumpster. Yawn.
Have you ever played basketball before? If you have(highly unlikely), then you would know that "turning" your ankle is a very common injury, which is what happened to Duncan and countless other basketball players.
Any doctor will tell you you are more likely to land on another player's foot if you are forced to be the lone enforcer playing 300 fewer minutes a season.
It's a medical fact.
