To be expected. They only get one more chance to use Manu again this season. Take that shot in the playoffs.
Retire or take on the Kevin Willis role tbh
When do playoffs start?
Weekend of April 20/21.
I want him to play 2 or 3 games before the Playoffs start
Sigh................
I pray for the jazz in round one.
Pop also followed up with "It's a huge blow for us." This probably isn't a case of Pop simply being conservative with the time table. This is a relatively more serious injury than one might have guessed based on the video.
Looking at the schedule, the absolute earliest I can imagine him back in April 10th @ Denver. The Spurs have five games in the final week so that'd give Ginobili some time to get some sort of rhythm before the playoffs.
Probably more likely is a return on April 10th @ Golden State. He'd have that game and the season finale home against the T'Wolves to knock off the cobwebs.
This team isn't going anywhere without Manu...
Indeed, and that's something I really hope they correct in the off-season.
Miles Austin had the same issue. It seemed like every little thing caused him to tweak his hammy.
Well they will have cap space this summer to do something about that.
It'll be when it will be... I'm sure if he can go during the playoffs, he'll play...
Time to hang em up tbqh. Hopefully he can give us one final month starting in May.
well...least his price tag is plummeting, though I have a feeling we'll overpay for his services. Hopefully we don't.
Keep reading: http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/show...09#post6448109Spurs coach Gregg Popovich puts Manu Ginobili’s timetable to return from a strained right hamstring at weeks rather than days, a significant setback to the team’s pre-playoff preparation.
“It’s a huge blow for us,” he said, “because he’s the guy that allows our second team to do what they’ve been doing all year long.
Let's just pray he doesn't dislocate his elbow in a meaningless game on a steal that he won't likely get. Oh wait......................
All jokes aside, the Spurs are ed if Ginobili can't bring at least 75-85% of his usual production. They should just play him in a fully-body cast that way all these injuries can be prevented.
Better than what happened in 2011. We need him for the playoffs. And all of you saying he should retire... off.
As much as the league loves jam packing their schedule down the stretch annually, somehow I don't think they play in Denver AND Golden State on the same day. I also doubt Pop would even bother playing him in the last couple of games, when he almost certainly won't be playing Duncan, Parker and possibly, Leonard, Splitter and Green, anyway.
Pop better not baby him in the playoffs. I don't care if he will not have played in weeks by then, Horford missed the majority of the season last year, stepped in to a playoff game and played almost the entire game. He's got to be able to give them something approaching 30 mpg immediately, or they open themselves up to the 1st round being prolonged.
Sucks
TBH, this may be a preemptive strike by Pop to allow him to rest Manu a few extra games.@blanchardJRB
