Wow! You never give up.
I was also amazed nobody got hurt with the way the unstructured offense had guys hurtling toward the basket 1 vs 5 in reckless abandon every time down the court. I thought for sure Neal was going to sprain an ankle or worse on some of those suicidal drives to the rim.
Damn... that really sucks. At least he didn't try and play anyway.. hoping the weekend gives him some rest and time to recover.
yeah, the sudden system shock syndrome is totally underrated. but it happens all the time. guys who are used to listen to their wifes for not more than 20 minutes try for 40 and BAMM....system shock! many don't survive. so yeah, right. the system shock is something a coach has to be aware of. Pop indeed did ingnore the system shock danger. let's thank god Kawhi is still alive.
Jeremy Lin proves you completely wrong.
What does jeremy lin have to do with the spurs?
No on expects you to understand.
You got nothing. I gotcha.
No, it's all pretty clear.
Thanks for staying in the thread I'm in.
Again.
It's not really clear but if you say so.
And no ChumpyDumpy, thank you.
I say so.
And no ChumpyDumpy, thank you.
So the same people that are whining about Pop playing Leonard more minutes and getting him hurt were whining about Pop not playing Duncan/Parker extra minutes to win a meaningless game.
Vintage greyspurfan.
You could see it when he tried to run out in the rising stars game as well. He had a little limp.
Thats what she said
I forgot what I posted? I'm pretty sure I posted no ChumpyDumpy, thank you.
Yes, you're proving it right now.
This happens to almost every team every year. What makes the difference is the ability of other guys to step up. The Spurs have done a fantastic job of that so far. Here's another opportunity.
I'm proving what right now?
Vintage trolling bag is what I believe we should call you
Congrats on being annoying for a real LONG time...
Sure gives us "newbies" sumthin' to aspire to
Hope it's not going to be a nagging, on going for the rest of the season type of injury.
http://www.commonsportsinjuries.com/...eg/calfstrain/
Depending on the severity...Could be (probably) weeks before we see Kawhi in any meaningful action on the court.Calf Strain
Calf strain, or calf muscle strain, is a tear, partial tear or stretch of the calf muscle(s) The damage can be anywhere within the muscle bulk or tendon.
What causes calf injury?
Muscles that are cold or tight that haven't been warmed up, or extreme sprinting, or landing badly after jumping or any strenuous exercise on the calf.
Symptoms of calf injuries
Swelling and bruising may appear and the damaged area will feel sore to the touch. Also it may be painful to point your foot towards the ground.
Recovery time and treatment of the calf
If your injury is not too bad, a calf muscle strain should start to improve within a few days and with gentle stretching you should be able to resume your sport within a few weeks. If however your injury is more severe, immediately after injury ice needs to be applied. Use a thin towel between skin and ice to avoid ice burn. Continue with the ice at regular intervals during the first 24 hours.Do not put any weight on your leg and as soon as possible elevate your leg to reduce swelling. It will also be more comfortable to rest your calf on a pillow or cushion. You should check with you doctor to see exactly what the damage is and then as soon as possible after pain has subsided, you should start gentle exercises.
Calf exercises
A list of exercises to help you restrengthen your calf and recover from injury can be found on our best lower leg exercises page.
Prevention
Do not return to your sport too early and when you do don't play a full on game, ease back into it gradually. Always warm up as after injury, risk of further injury is higher. Warming up brings blood and oxygen to the working muscles and will also enhance performance. Make warm ups part of your sport as it is a small price to pay to save further injury.
Uh... no, at most all you've proven that the injury rate is at least 50%. Grats on your extensive research.
Jeremy Lin is also a very poor example to use as well. Knicks were completely floundering and 2-13 in their last 15 games. D'Antoni needed something to jumpstart that ballclub. And Lin is still playing those heavy minutes, revealing it was a carefully planned move, not some schizo perfunctory tinkering bender
Off topic but I loved his response when asked if he was excited to see any players he hadn't played against. "I'm not a fan no more.. ain't trying to meet nobody." I loved that answer and he recognizes these are the guys that he is competing against and doesn't want to give them any advantage. Its a small thing but this guy is going to be special. I love his at ude.
Cool beans. He's been learning important lessons from Pop already.
System shock? Dude plays ball for a living. Injuries happen. And yes in a compressed season, they will iccure more frequently, but theres no way you can mitigate against every sprain and strain. He's 20, It's not like he's some 32 year old cubicle worker who just started playing pickup ball after 6 months on the couch watching boardwalk empire and eating fast food non stop.
And no, I'm not speaking from experience. so there.
