Rusty Manu?
Ahahahaha.
With no more games in January, the Spurs' record is 13-9. Manu got hurt January 2nd and was estimated to be out about 6 weeks which would put his return mid-February and in the middle of the RRT.
When do you think Manu comes back?
I think he comes back against the Clippers on February 18th (two days off prior, practice time available). But if the Spurs can go 4-4 or better these next 8 games then i wouldn't mind sitting him until after the All-Star break and having him come back against Chicago (Feb. 29th).
Back end of the road trip is brutal with games at LAC, UTA, POR (b2b), and @ Denver. I don't know if a rusty Manu helps us win those games anyways.
Thoughts?
Rusty Manu?
Ahahahaha.
I haven't heard any update on his rehab or when his due date is but with the way the young guys are playing and giving them a lot of confidence (whose minutes is he going to take away). I don't think I would be in a hurry to bring him back. Besides like someone said we don't know good/bad/rusty he'll be when he first gets back and it may turn out to not make much of a difference. Having said that we might bring him back after AS Break.
He broke his shooting hand. I'm not sure how much conditioning he is able to do but it's tough when you can't shoot a ball for a month and a half.
Manu said on his twitter he is expected to be back during the Feb 10-15th stretch
Except it's Manu.
He's freaking aMANUazing.
@LAC on the 18th looks about right. 8 more games. Hopefully we can go 4-4 and that would put us at a total of 14-12 without Manu.
manu be lucky to play in feb
knowing pop
When did he say that?!?
on twitter
When??
lol ducks with the goods
lol
According to this it is round the 16 Feb, but Nothin on his Twitter from him!

...yeah that doesn't even make sense.
http://blog.mysanantonio.com/spursna...red-left-hand/“He’s shooting mid-range shots, lefty,” coach Gregg Popovich said Monday. “He’ll be cleared to go one-on-one in a week or so.”
it's a shame manu got hurt, we'd be right there with denver at least. very weak western conference this year. if manu gets back fully healt I like our chances
Dont worry about seeding. As we witnessed last year, seeding doesn't mean . We just need to focus on making the playoffs. Then MANU WILL RISE!l!!
This is big news.“He’s shooting mid-range shots, lefty,” coach Gregg Popovich said Monday. “He’ll be cleared to go one-on-one in a week or so.”
Same as it ever was: Ginobili’s free throw stroke still flawless

fantastic news!
prepare your angus, everyone in the west
What a relief. I still expect his shooting percentage to go down, but since it'll be only due to rust, I'll take it. I was worried that the surgery may have forced him to fundamentally alter his shot.
I pray he's back for when I see the Spurs at the Feb 15th game, but I doubt he'll be back by then.
It'll be nice to have one above-average free throw shooter on the team again.
At 93.8% for the first 5 games of this season (and 87-88% for the last 3 or 4 seasons), I'd say Ginobili's free throw shooting is more than "above average," but yeah, point taken.
