    Timvp,

    Actually at the beginning of the season, I thought the Spurs were a "fringe contender." But I feel much better about this team considering the adversity they had to go through with losing Manu for 22 games (and now some more games), TJ Ford and now losing Tiago.

    I rather the injury bug happen now....then at the end of the season where they will have no shot to win it all without all the Big 3 healthy.

    I am concerned with Duncan's minutes increasing with Tiago out for awhile. He will need energy for the playoffs.

    The fact the young guys have played well and we have two guys in Neal and Green that are not afraid of the moment bodes well in the long run.

    The Spurs can manage through the regular season.....I just hope Manu is ready for the playoffs and playing well at that time. If so, they will be a legit contender to come out of the West.

    spurs were playing fine without manu....So not really worried about that...my only concern is not having splitter in the line-up...blair and bonner are only bigs?doesn't look good....just hope spurs can find a filler for splitter cause 3 bigs just doesn't cut it

    it was fun while it lasted but the injuries scuttle any championship chances the spurs have left. manu is going to be a shadow of a player once he returns and pop will never trust splitter with large minutes this season. the next player that goes down is going to be parker since he is still due for his annual injury and has been carrying the spurs throughout this condensed season.

    I'm not touching it.


    Someone said that he got the injury playing against Detroit? Hopefully that means that it was bothering him, but not so badly that he thought he couldn't play today. Maybe it wasn't a really bad strain to begin with.

    Or did he injure it further today?

    What is wrong with Splitter's calves? Didn't he have the same problem last season? He needs to do strenghtening exercises in the off season (calf raises with weights) to strenghten them.

    Give me a break, folks. Strained calf and strained oblique. A few games rest will be good for those guys.

    Ace the drama queen card. He's not hurt seriously and will be ready in a week.

    FWIW, Tiago calf strain is in the same foot (right) as the strain he had last season during training camp.

    I just looked and Splitter got hurt Oct. 1 and wasn't able to play in a game until Nov. 1.

    If he misses a month this time around, that'd be a huge blow

    The Tiago injury really stings as we already lack depth in the front court. The team can deal with the Manu injury as he hadn't even gotten re-acclimated yet. The Spur's gamble to not aggressively seek a 5th big is coming back to haunt them. Going into the year with Blair as a starter is going to prove to be management's biggest mistake. Since it is obvious now they never had any intention of starting Splitter, a suitable starter should have been acquired. Now we are stuck with a 3 man big rotation that includes only 1 shot blocker and 1 decent rebounder in Tim Duncan.
