Pop looks glum regarding TP's injury .........
This team is capable of securing #1 even without Parker, tbh.
FSSW showed a clean replay a while ago. It looked like he mildly rolled his ankle. I wouldn't put too much stock into Pop's words. In addition to "it's a good one, he'll be out for a while" he also said "we can't worry about it right now, we'll know more tomorrow." I think Pop was just giving a generic response based on how Tony said he felt.
This looked far from a season ending injury or anything like that. IMO he'll probably be out for around 3 weeks.
I wouldnt be surprised if he came back sooner than later. IIRC, I think Tony had an ankle sprain or some sort of injury 2 years ago and he was supposed to be out a long period of time and he only missed about a week or so and made a surprise comeback against the Heat in San Antonio. I remember all of us here were surprised he came back so quick..
Watching the interview with Pop when he said this... the way he said it and the look on his face did not make me feel very good. Ugh.
This will mean more touches for Kawhi.
He was 36 years and 9 months old playing some of his best basketball of the last 5 years... What are you saying? There's some huge dropoff I don't know about between the age of 36 years and 9 months and 37 years old?
And BTW... this! I've been looking forward to the Spurs-Thunder game on March 11th at home because I have tickets to the game. Now it won't be the same without TP...
Unless Tony has Dirk ankles I'm guessing it's going to be at least 6 weeks.
One of the tweets on the post game show was just "PLEASEBEOKAYPLEASEBEOKAYPLEASEBEOKAYPLEASEBEO KAY" a million times
But he doesn't know anything right now. Naturally he'd be concerned when his star player just went down with a rolled ankle. But it's not like Pop is privy to secret medical records that says Tony tore X and is out for the season and he's just not telling the public right now. Pop probably knows just as much as you do.
Pop doesn't know how long he's going to be out. Better off not speculating. Nobody knows until they look at it tomorrow.
EVERY SINGLE DAMN NIGHT I tell you, another injury.
Even though OKC might win, it might actually be better if they don't face us with our playoff lineup. Sefalosha will be sad.
BREAKING: Thunderefs in Denver tonight, looks like both Westchuck and Durant will play 44 minutes without injury!
Damn, this sucks.
Parker is a quick healer though.
Well, to be fair, Pop could have just asked TP how he was doing. Basketball players have rolled their ankles so many times that they usually know how bad it is pretty quickly.
Yeah we are not getting no HC now, but as you said last two years it did not matter in the end anyways so 2nd seed or so be it! I guess we will have to take it now without best player out.
Looked pretty bad, he is probably done being MVP Parker for this season, which means we have no chance come playoff time.
Doubtful. If it's any extended period of time that is. It would take some surprising losses by OKC and Miami, and I don't see either happening. Especially Miami.. They won their 15th straight tonight even with Lebron having his worst game of the season.
I think we end up with the 2nd seed in the West now and play the Lakers in the 1st round because I think they end up with the 7th seed.
I wanted a healthy Spurs squad for that game though. I only get to see them twice or three times a year in person because I'm in college. That week is my Spring Break week so I was really looking forward to the game.![]()
I actually like these games because I think Denver is the only team in the NBA that can get more free throw attempts than the Thunder (@Denver) regularly. These games are usually called tightly on both sides with Denver getting 30+ free throws and Thunder getting 25-30 or something like that.
At least it's better than seeing the Thunder get 35 free throw attempts while their opponent gets like 9, or something.
