April fools! Right?

“It’s more than days,” Popovich said. “It’s more like weeks, unfortunately."“It could (stretch into the playoffs),” Popovich said. “We don’t know how his leg is going to react. We’re doing everything we can.”

April fools! Right?
manu letting the team down... again... nothing new
Damn.. We don't really need him in the first round if we play Utah or Dallas, we can beat hose teams without him. But, if we play the Lakers, it could come back to bite us.
The guy's almost 36 years old.. what do you expect? Most guards can't even play in the league at that age.
With Manu out for a long time, Pop needs to have a talk with De Colo asking him to take more responsibilities offensively.
I think the main reason why De Colo is doing so little offensively is because he just doesn't want to do mistakes that will put him in the doghouse. Pop needs to tell him that he has to do more play-making wise but also that he will lengthen his leash and not bench him at his first mistake. I'm not really sure that Nando can carry a bigger load, but he is Spurs best outside playmaker outside of Tony and Manu.
bad news. manu is out probably for rest of season
good news. bag manu is out
lets face it. this team was not going anywhere. At least now they can go on their summer vacations early.
Manu will play in one leg for the playoffs if necessary... you can take that one to the bank...
I'm more concerned with Pop being overly cautious like he was in that game 1 vs Memphis a few seasons ago, than Manu suiting up and contributing...
I'm not saying he did, but anyone think it looked like Clipper jammed Manu on purpose? Knowing full well his hammys are jacked up.
Manu on one leg vs. Durant or James
getting real tired of ginobili's . he better take a huge pay cut in the offseason and rework his game if he wants to stay with the spurs.
Another playoff run with Manu injured. Shocking.
Officially out 3-4 weeks, expected return during the 1st round of playoffs.
You say that like he meant to get hurt. I'll never understand people who blame players for injuries, like they want to miss games and be in pain, smh.
Manu is out 3 to 4 weeks.....smfh
He probably could come back earlier but this is the smartest thing to do sit him out for the rest of the season. Hamstrings linger and the only way to fully heal is give it time...this might be a blessing in disguise
He's actually not out the rest of the playoffs..
never said i blamed him for his injuries. most people who do that do so because of ginobili's choice to play on the national team rather than resting. i don't think that way. i'm more mad that the spurs management have, year after year, kept ginobili as part of the core knowing full well his injury history. it's like the rockets holding on to yao ming and tmac when all the signs are telling them that probably won't work out. instead, the spurs keep burying their heads in the sand and crossing their fingers every year hoping ginobili will stay healthy. it's really a dumb plan. and now, even when ginobili is healthy, his play just seems completely off. for the spurs to make it back to the finals, ginobili needs to regain all star form. duncan and parker have been playing like all stars but even when ginobili was "healthy," he looked nowhere close.
You have to reverent & still now.
Like he was at prime when he was killing them reverently, yes, for himself & them, but, mostly for you.
Seriously...why do you bother? bag Manu? Wow. As a fan, you are truly a piece of . Go away- you won't be missed. Thanks for nothing.bad news. manu is out probably for rest of season
good news. bag manu is out
lets face it. this team was not going anywhere. At least now they can go on their summer vacations early.
Not a shock. We really can't rely on him anymore. He is never healthy for long. Hopefully he can play limited min off the bench in the playoffs and give them a little punch. Kahwi just gets more chances to expand his game now..
Damn it. Even if Ginobili was struggling prior to his injury, he's still the third best player on this team. The Spurs can't win a championship without him. , winning in the first round would be a whole lot tougher ... and I don't think the Spurs can win in the second round without him.
The earliest the second round starts is May 6th ... so there's some time. The first round starts April 20th or 21st.
But yeah, let us hope Ginobili can be back for the start of the playoffs. At worst, let us hope he'll be back for the first two road games of the playoffs.
Unfortunately, this news probably locks up the No. 1 spot for the never-get-injured Thunder.
We're already heading into the playoffs with Neal and Tony hurting... let's hope Manu can join them in the 1st round.
Come on... Really? Manu has been mediocre on D and ineffective on O far more than he has been productive this year. Kahwi has to be the 3rd best player by now if not for his D and energy alone... Manu rolls out of bed and he pulls a muscle... People still look at Manu and think of the potential but when is the last time he showed us that potential?
Even more evidence that last year was our perfect storm. Sucks.
