Injury Thread: Tony Parker's Anke (Update: Out 4 weeks)

[UZER]

This is why resting players left and right with fake injuries just doesn't matter. If your hurt then your hurt, otherwise just play the freaking games!

Trying to half-ass your way though the nba season is stupid. guys never get in rhythm, the team never gets in rhythm because its always being interrupted. Two years ago ginobili gets hurt the last game of the season.

looked very bad. TP has a huge pain tolerance, so seeing him wince in pain is very troubling

[HarlemHeat37]

The silver lining is very thin here, tbh..

It may force Duncan and Ginobili to be more aggressive and find their touch, but it's not like either guy has trouble figuring out their role or understanding how to perform in big games..

We have already seen how the backup guards play as subs utes..De Colo is a very aggressive starter, but it doesn't translate to his backup role..Joseph isn't going to play a meaningful role..Mills isn't a PG, tbh..

Kawhi will receive more touches, but his confidence is already high and the Spurs already have a difficult time finding him in key situations..

Well, we need the basketball gods to be on our side again this season...

looked like a regular sprain, IMO... Non-Issue

Your mom winced but she was fine

Some of what you say is true but the less games you play, the less likely you are to get injured. It's like a catch 22. You need to play your best guys to get the best record, but if you play them, they ar emore likely to get badly injured. Pop tries to cut down the chances of this with the rest and fake injuries based on odds, but he still got screwed regardless because every time you play it is possible to get injured. Just unlucky is all.

in other news ElNono finally gets a hardon

would be ironic if TP ends up missing more games than Manu, tbh

ball moves better when manu is running the PG spot anyways...

[thispego]

lol all you weenies calling doom y'all are weak. especially harlem, dude acts like he knows basketball since basketball is his life you'd think he'd be more knowledgeable

[ElNono]

Brah, you gonna start the "TP is made of glass" thread?

hater getting a chockfull of his own medicine with this one... remember when I told you injuries happen? well, well, well

[hater]

[ElNono]

I'm with pego on this one, tbh... dramatic cliff jumping is dramatic...

I just said that I don't think Parker will miss more than a few weeks, and that the Spurs would retain the #1 seed..

I was merely pointing out that s like Corey Joseph and Patty Mills aren't going to cement roles on the team with Parker out..

Agreed. Corey will probably be back in the Toros as soon as Neal can suit up

[DAF86]

Watch the Spurs go on a 16-4 winnng streak and everyone calling Leonard an MVP candidate and Baynes rookie of the year.

[bklynspursfan]

Would like to see Kawhi's ball handling duties increased during TP's absence.

Says not as bad as looks

[TheGoldStandard]

And then we'll see an increased amount of turnovers from balls being dribbled off foots and getting jammed in the corner when he picks up his dribbled prematurely.. Gary at PG is pretty bad.

don't disagree, but I think we're too far into the season to see Pop go with somebody else

This.

You guys are ridiculous. Have you all never played sports before? That didn't even look like a bad sprain.

[TheGoldStandard]

Yeah, if Pop is anything he's a creature of habit. Lots of the same from the start of the season. Hopefully Manu will have a fountain of youth moment in the next few weeks. Corey Joseph needs to be on the bench next year, Spurs have way too many project shooting guards that pop tries to convert.

[Man In Black]

If someone posts a clip I might be able to tell from the clip. Whats most important is that they minimize swelling for the next 48 hours. High ankle sprains are normally the result of stepping on someone's foot when landing from a jump move.

[Pasta Batman]

Now that trade season is over, and no one can be shown off, only time will tell. Obviously the biggest change will be Manu more involved (as long as he's healthy)
