Pop said that Jack sat so long in Milwaukee that those end of the season regular season games where more like his preseason. I'd agree with what Pop said. Jack was only just getting into regular season form during the early rounds of the playoffs, and I think the OKC series he only just started getting into playoff form.
He'll be much better this season. He can get himself into form during the regular season rather than deep into the playoffs.
Mr. Glass up to his old tricks.
Let's hope this guy can glue it together (pun intended) at least later in the season. We can win regular season games without him, but obviously he needs to be 100% for us in the playoffs or we're probably just a 2nd round knockout waiting to happen.
Same here. DRob was my second favorite player after MJ back then.
I think this might be the year that does in Manu.. here's to hoping i'm wrong though.
Why call yourself BatManu and then trash him?
that would really be fair to the people who got them there huh
just maybe batmanu20 is stating what he feels the truth
you can be a fan of his and still speak the truth
Manu was fine. He provided the moral support drinking margaritas from his home in San Antonio. You can tell the players felt it and went for the kill, tbh
He's supposedly a Manu fan, and Manu has been playing well coming off of a good second half of last season and also a very good Olympics, so I wouldn't expect that kind of comment from a fan of his, which is why I wondered if he is a fan at all. Usually a tweak like this, doesn't make a Manu fan jump like he just did with his post.
The thing that concerns me is everytime he turns around he comes up with another injury that keeps him out for a while. Face it his body's really starting to break down and that's why even Manu didn't even seem committed into saying if he was going to play next year or not. If he continues to get these nagging injuries through this season I see him finally retiring from basketball. It's not worth it anymore for Manu and the Spurs if he continues to get injured everytime he plays. As sad as it is to say (the thought of not having him anymore is very sad) I think for his sake he should.
If Manu takes a lower contract then I don't see how it could not be worth it. If he takes a cheaper contract then he shouldn't feel as bad when he sits out with a nagging injury. The reason the Spurs are overly cautious with him is because they don't have the money to get another talented player at his level. They really need Manu if we are going to go anywhere, so it seems they are overly cautious with him anytime he gets a nagging injury.
McDonald tweeted that he doesn't think Manu will be available.![]()
This is what Manu wrote for La Nación a day or two ago:
As for me, I won't be able to play in our first game of the season against New Orleans, since my back has really been bothering me for two or three days. I suffered from lumbar spasms on the left side. I spent a couple of days were I couldn't even move. I missed a few practices and now I'm starting to get back, seeing how it improves day to day, working on the stationary bike and trying not to force anything. I'm feeling better but there's no reason to risk it this early in the season.
Any definite updates on his condition yet?
Here in Argentina we get a limited number of Spurs games, yeasterday's game was broadcated and tonights is too but Manu misses both, pfft.
I feel your pain... ing Manu![]()
International League Pass Broadband - any NBA game at any point.
Front row sports - any game at any point but still it's no the same as in and HD widescreen tbh.
dude jumped off the bench to give tp a hug
I think he could've played tonight if it mattered. They were holding him out as a precaution. Want him to practice first.
per Yahoo:
Popovich said Ginobili could play Saturday against Utah.
Jackson 27:23
Neal 16:47
This was a two-off!
