Ginobili, Splitter to miss tomorrow's game in New Orleans

[jag]

Love him, but Tiago is starting to look really soft. And Pop's managing of his minutes is starting to make sense.

[Splits]

Tim can play 10 minutes tonight, just set the tone and sit out the rest. He must play tomorrow night.

There is a 0% chance Tim will play tonight and tomorrow.

I'm surprised Duncan went on the plane, tbh.

What

he is afraid of flying?

[Solid D]

You'd hate to see the Spurs play Timmy tonight and lose... then have to play the stingiest defensive team in the NBA on Sunday.

Dentmon should get some decent minutes tonight against a Hornets team that turns the ball over a lot.

Jason Smith better watch out for his ass, cos Sjax gonna rip him if he plays dirty to dem brothas.

Jason Smith was suspended, he's not playing tonight....

Usually if a player is healthy, they are at the game. I know it doesn't have to be that way, but it's a pretty good sign.

This is not a normal season nor is this a normal road trip.

Spurs had to fly out last night to NOLA after the Dallas game, get to hotel very late, get up, go to arena, play. Then they fly back tonight, again arriving very late, and then have to show up at the home arena tomorrow and play. Why make players who are not even going to be dressed for the Hornets game go through all that? Let them stay home, get 2 decent nights sleeps, do whatever rehab/treatment they need to do at home, and show up fresh on Sunday.

It's not like this is a rah rah emotional team that needs everyone's cheerleading from the 2nd row of street-clad players.

Not a surprise for Manu. He said in a recent interview that he wouldn't be playing back to backs.

Love him, but Tiago is starting to look really soft. And Pop's managing of his minutes is starting to make sense.

Since when does having back spasms make you "soft" ???

[Anonymous Cowherd]

Surely the no-brain move is play Timmy tonight when Splitter can't play, rest Timmy tomorrow when (hopefully) he can; particularly with Manu out we'll need a leader on the court.

[KaiRMD1]

I thought they would sit out Duncan if anything.

[TheSkeptic]

Since when does having back spasms make you "soft" ???

Thank you!

Like I said, he hasn't missed that many games this season and (so far at least) he doesn't deserve to have this reputation.

The spasms should clear up soon and it'll be a moot point.

My goodness...

[DPG21920]

WTF are people acting like Tiago is going the way of Gino with injuries. He's barely missed at all with the Spurs that weren't DNPCD.

[Horse]

Tonights game is more important for division and conference record. The philly game means almost nothing.

[Mal]

So Parker and Duncan will play tonight and sit down vs philly ?
