Gary Neal battling multiple injuries

[crc21209]

If Neal really is bothered so much by these injuries, would it really be a bad thing if he were the odd man out of the rotation come Playoff time? Let's face it, his shot just hasnt been the same this year as it was last year, and we know he can be an atrocious defender as well. So the Spurs could go with a Playoff rotation of:

PG: Parker/Joseph
SG: Green/Manu
SF: Kawhi/Jack
PF: TD/ Diaw
C: Splitter/TD?

9 man rotation for the Playoffs, maybe only using 8 guys on some nights..

Yes. I'm a Neal supporter, which is a minority on this forum now. But he needs to be knocked out of the rotation. He's just an awkward fit on this current roster. The Spurs don't need him to be the 4th scorer. That should go to Kawhi. And if Pop is serious about defense, Neal shouldn't be a rotation player since he's one of the worst.

That being said, I appreciate him. But he was more suited for the 2010-2011 Spurs (3 point shooting, below average defense).

Tim is never the PF, but yeah it will most likely look like that.

You know what I mean. PF/C...doesnt really make a difference.

Yeah, I'm anal about this for some reason but it doesn't matter indeed.

Baynes looks like he won't make the cut this year but we could be even bigger next year with Baynes taking Diaw's spot in the three big men rotation and Diaw (who is slimming down since he got here) sliding maybe at backup SF with Jax eventually walking.

He was at the Rim GNC with his son a few days ago. Probably trying out all kinds of remedies.

Maybe he's using some of this Anatabloc to help with the inflammation... I know it's been great for me after learning about it from some old friends.
Not cheap, but to these athletes it surely is quite cheap ... actually, I wouldn't be surprised that more of them are already using it ((if not, someone tell Gary Neal & the others to try it out... the next new Aspirin with no side effects))
As for the rest of us, there's always the Gold Card membership

I'm guessing he's Nealing with it?

[bus driver]

just shut him down til about when TP comes back tbh
hes not necessary to the Spurs sucess but he is a nice piece to have
green/leonard can increase their minutes to make up for his
even de Cola could get his normal minutes

+1

we need a healthy team going into the playoffs

I developed PF in one foot several years ago, and it worked for me after trying the usual first-line treatments.
