hmmmmm
Welp, pack it in for next year...
Time to see what this team is made of.
There is no next year, te ally it will come but guys will be a year older and seriously last year was their last legit shot at a le the way they were playing and they had health too (Rare nowadays for them). This sucks, but hey it is what it is.
I got the impression DeAndre Jordan most definitely aimed for GNobs hammy all the way.
Did you see Miami and others going for Tonys ankle?
I myself am coming off 6 weeks of dislocated joint/ankle sprain and i got to tell you it is a trying to return to pre injury movements. This without all the facilities and ass kissing Parker has access to. So yeesh, i dunno about Parkers true status.
Welp, there goes the season.
Calm down. That isn't confirmed yet.
After last year I even said it'll be the 2013-2014 season when the Spurs have their best and last legit shot at the le. Even if the Spurs had gone all the way this year Miami would've been waiting to embarrass them in 5. Tim came back in great shape this year and he may come back near the same next year. Leonard will be better next year and the Spurs will have cap room to bring in some help. Might all amount to nothing, but this season wasn't going to end in a ring.There is no next year, te ally it will come but guys will be a year older and seriously last year was their last legit shot at a le the way they were playing and they had health too (Rare nowadays for them)
Please let this be BS
Yea it hasn't been confirmed. A little early to start melting down.

NBA trainer who doesn't work w/TParker says near impossible 2 get tendinitis in the shin, said if its shin-related is probly stress fracture

Well !!!
Just speculation.....
Could it simply be shin splints?
Could the Spurs still hold on to the #2 seed if they shut Parker down for the rest of the regular season? It might come to that.
Yes. They should be able to beat Atlanta without Tony, and then just need to win one of the four between @Den/@LAL/@GS/MIN. Even then it would take Denver winning out to tie.
Check post #67 (i put their remaining opponents)
I think they very easily can. If they're very lucky and say OKC loses in Indy tonight and against the Knicks Sunday, they could even hang on to the 1, though that's much more unlikely at this point

We have a four-game lead on Denver with only six games left, so we're pretty much guaranteed at a #1 or #2 seed at this point.
Unfortunately, Parker's injury could be worse than just for the rest of the regular season, it sounds. Let's hope the stress fracture reports are wrong...
I've been saying it forever. All this resting players when they are not actually injured is bull . Play if you're healthy, sit if you're injured (not "hurt"). All this stopping starting for the body is the worst thing you can do. It never finds its rhythm and builds the tolerance to getting hurt. Besides, if you're gonna get injured, you're gonna get injured, nothing you can do about it. Case and point being Manu breaking his elbow on the last day of the season.
Pop over manages these guys...too many minutes, you don't know the system, changes lineups every night, you missed a rotation so you sit for 5 games (unless you're Bonner). He's gone from genius to mad scientist.
Phil never sat guys unless they were injured, and his teams were always healthy (Fat Shaq doesn't count because that was his own doing). He maybe sat a guy for a game or two at the end of the regular sesaon, but that was it. This is one thing Kobe learned....play through it. Sure he embellishes his injuries, but dude is super durable.
Watch it end up being cuz of lack of support from his new "Peak" athletic shoes.
Shut it down till round 1..
These injuries have wrecked the Spurs le hopes..
I must have overlooked #67. 4-2 is a stretch without Tony or Manu, but 3-3 guarantees a top 2 seed. The Hawks have been hit by injuries too, and home games vs SAC and MIN should be wins regardless, so to answer my original question, yes, I think the Spurs can hold on to a top 2 seed if Parker sits the rest of the RS.
I don't think there's any chance at #1, though. Remember, the Thunder have the tiebreaker now; season series is tied 2-2 and the Spurs are guaranteed to finish with a better record vs the East, meaning the Thunder will have a better record vs the West if the teams end up tied.
Injuries could be chalked up to nothing more than bad luck. A guy could get injured walking down a flight of stairs. With TP, if it's a stress reaction, then he would need 3 weeks off easily. With the treatment, which would probably use an electrical stimulation machine to promote faster healing, he should be back to full strength but they should make an orthotic for both his shin and his heel to reduce the shock from playing and protect his shin from misguided opponents.
Lets be honest with Miami playing the way they do there is no ittle hopes for any other team this year barring a big injury to Lebron. I think their le hopes said last year in game 5 at home of the WCF. This year they just have not had health nor time to get on a roll like they were last year around ths time. Last year shortened season, injuries were null around this time for once and they were on a roll! That is as good as it is going to get.Shut it down till round 1..
These injuries have wrecked the Spurs le hopes..
I love how Parker has already been diagnosed and done for the season based on some speculating NBA bloggers comments. Wait for word from the Spurs please.
The Spurs might be the only thing between some interesting playoff basketball suspense and a repeat of last year's finals zzzzzzz.
