He'll be ready for Game 1 of the playoffs tbh.

Can we catch a ing break? Good god man.
that hurts...
Remember, T, playing the injury card is a pussy & asshole protocol.
You have 15 slots and a world 6 hours away.
Get on with it.
Well, it's no surprise that Manu is hurt, it's not his fault but the guys body just can't and has never really stood up to the abuse of an NBA season. Our best bet is to hope Utah stays the course, keeps the 8th seed that way we can slowly bring Manu along during that run to gear up for the 2nd round and hopefully WCF. I hope that he plays within himself when he returns he doesn't have that quick of a first step anymore but that Euro step is still pretty solid at least to create some kind of interior collapse. No more step back 3's just take the shot if it's decent
And unless Ginobili has a playoff campaign at a MVP level, Spurs better not offer him a contract over $6M per year. With Ginobili being that unreliable, Spurs badly need to add a quality player with their cap space.
The moderators of this site should put up a huge sign for all the current Spurs so-called FANS. The sign should read NO WHINING. You may be eating your words soon."
About Manu: How do you whiners feel about American doctors, including your own? The data for the last couple of years is over 100, 000 patient deaths EACH YEAR due to doctor error. Heard it on NPR last Friday. The authoritative voice behind this date was a doctor himself. Making mistakes is a part of our human make-up. He added that the data is "of recorded information. No telling how many more deaths occur that are not reported."
Go look in the mirror.
Haha at 6M, at his age he should be making 1.5 a year.. Max 3 mil a season,
There is no grade on the hamstring injury. The issue is that an explosive move could aggravate a balky hamstring. But them saying 3-4 weeks means he's out for at least 2 weeks easy. It's about getting the muscles re-balanced. Once the strain is released, the body goes back into balance. That first 48 was lots of ice and from there, ace wrap figure 8 to help assist the leg motion from walking back and forth. the ace wraps figure 8 style to push the leg forward a bit and it's noticeable to the wearer.
Spurs aren't the favorites going in and things have to break a certain way to get it, but we all know that the playoffs are going to be tough. The road looks rocky but if they find a way to claim 1 for the thumb, this one may be the sweetest of all.
If they manage to find the Golden Ticket and get past Slugworth, willy wonka and the oompa loompas in the finals then Tim and Manu should just have a walkoff.
Manu maybe, but Tim? That guy balls harder than KG and most people don't think he's going anywhere else this season or next.
I believe this is what's best for Manu and the team. Having him out the rest of the season to rest that injury that has been lingering is good for him. Sure the hamstring injury could linger even when he does come back. But at least this move will help his chances of being healthy for the playoffs. I'm hoping this is what Manu needs to re-gain his confidence. The first round is going to be huge no matter the opponent.
This season is spiraling down the hole right quick.
If he captures gold I say hit the bricks and enjoy going out as a champion. Very few get that opportunity and some hang on too long.
Out for season...back for start of playoff....
Losing your best players has to count for something. It's not even the same team without them.
Spurs need to rest Duncan and Leonard as much as possible. If necessary, make sure they win vs ORL, LAL, MIN and SAC - tank the rest and make sure everyone's healthy and rested going into the playoffs. That'll ensure at least the 3rd seed vs GSW or HOU.
This sucks. I do wonder if Pop is just trying to get Manu fully healthy again before the playoffs. I saw the injury live and it didn't seem that bad. However, Manu has been struggling with lingering hamstring injuries all season, so maybe Pop just wants to let it get fully healed so he doesn't re-injure it when it really matters.
well I don't think it matters because manu hasn't been really doing anything to help the spurs the last couple of weeks.....manu will probably be back by the 2nd round of the play offs...that's if the spurs make it past the 1st round
Doesn't matter. It's pussy & assholish to lodge the injury card. I won't do it. Nope. Uh, uh. & as long as I'm here I'll smight anyone that attempts it.
Utopia does not exist. You have 15 slots. Choosing to fill those 15 slots is vital. Choose wisely.
Silver lining: at least he won't break anything on the last day of the season.
crap....figures with Manu though.
even if he makes it back for the playoffs, his rhythm will be really off and he'll probably create some mindboggling turnovers. Hopefully they can ease him back in a way that makes things easier. This whole season he's looked off. He was starting to look almost like vintage Manu before the original hamstring injury. But that's been the story for awhile now with him.
this. I'm hoping he won't be butthurt by it and realize he isn't reliable, or hasn't been for quite awhile. Maybe if rests up well this summer, he can have a very productive final year or two with us at a very good price for us.
It's sad that even when he's averaging 23 mins and playing less than 60 games a season he still can't even manage to stay healthy.
