This BS about Manu being made of glass is sicking me.
One side explaining that chemistry is important and Pop should play Manu more, and the other side saying that, Manu's health is more important. Both sides have good points and I'm sure that chemistry will be a key factor for us to be winning it all but we all know that health is more important and if Pop's decides to not play manu at b2b's we just gotta trust the man, after all, he's one of the few coaches left in the nba that know about real ball.

chemistry and familiarity isn't a one way street. I'm not worried at all about the chemistry between for example Manu and Leonard/Green. they will be fine. I'm also not worried about Manu with Sjax. they are two vets, they know each other, they will figure it out quickly. the crucial point about chemistry IMO is Leonard and Green (and Tiago, when healthy again) with Sjax. so, every extra minute of this guys together on the court in the RS will pay big dividends in the PO.
"Pain is weakness leaving your body."
Where was that thread again where people were pissed at pop for not over playing him cause he said he was worried about his health if he did?
Hmmm...
I'll take this as Pop recognizing Tiago's importance to the team and just being cautious.
Tiago is arguably the 4th best player on the team (Jax has a case, but i'd take Tiago) and is absolutely vital to this team's hopes for a championship so i'd rather Pop be careful with Tiago than risk losing him for an extended period of time.
I'm also glad Pop decided to throw scrubs like Bonner back into the lineup after only missing one game with a similar injury. An injury to Bonner or Blair would also go a long way to helping this team's playoff chances
there's more than one thread.
But remember last year when people kept defending Pop for not playing Tiago, agreeing that he wasn't ready yet cuz he missed training camp, etc..
And then Pop having it blow up in his face when our frontline was getting its pushed in by ZBo/Gasol and Darrell ing Arthur
Tiago always had a few minor injuries per season throughout his career in Spain. Nothing new here. I'll definitely take that over a Bogut-type situation, though.
trading manu makes sence if diaw and sj keep playing like they are
sj can create like manu
manu not playing but 22 games out of this season is BULL
he is making almost 1 million a game that he actually plays
Have to agree on the Manu part...
almost as bad as Tony Parker collecting a paycheck for nothing but getting ass-raped by Mike Conley...disgusting.
I would actually have to argue that kawhi Leonard has been the fourth best player on the team this yearI'll take this as Pop recognizing Tiago's importance to the team and just being cautious.

New age spur fan rooting for an injury. Fantastic.
You seem to be rooting for Tiago to miss time so you can praise pop for some poor handling of him even though Tiago has missed a fraction of the games Manu and Tim have.
Where is EricB?
Either Will Sevening sucks, or the Spurs are just extremely delicate. Or maybe a little bit of both.
All that aside, Tiago is really starting to wear me out. What the is he doing before games? Some pregame calisthenics or yoga couldn't possibly hurt at this point. Gotta stretch it all out, brah.
He's also 7+ years younger than Manu and Tim and sees far less playing time when all are healthy. I'm a huge fan of Tiago, but he just doesn't seem to be very durable. And I really hope I'm wrong about that.
He was injured enough to win Spanish League MVP.
We're so stacked we don't need any of them against Phoenix, they just better make that up when they come back.
i know popovich is just being overly cautious but i would like to see the team play at full strength so they can work on their chemistry. this is suddenly a very talented team and pop needs to flex his HOF credentials.
new age
I missed T Park / EricB. Pop's balls were getting pretty lonely without you round these parts.
Gary Neal (foot) is likely to play vs. Phx. Splitter (back) will be a game-time decision.

Game-time decision now? Looking like he might actually give it a go.
I think Tiago's injuries aren't that severe, more of a pre-caution.
Tiago needs to man the up. He's arguably the 3rd most important piece to us getting another ring.
Because making his back spasms worse during the regular season would help the team win it all.
If he's a gametime decision than we can safely assume that he's getting better. I'm just hoping everyone important can stay healthy from here on out.
There's not a whole lot of time left before the playoffs.
