We miss Manu a lot more than people think, his shot my not be on but he is a ball handler and creator and takes a lot of pressure off of tony, there's literally only 2 players that can handle the ball good on the team and I might add Nando
Nominate for one of the stupidest posts of the year. At least learn how to spell his name.
Out 3-4 weeks, BIG DEAL!!!
I know the hate on Manu is big right now on ST, but SA needs him.
SA's chances are already slim with him. Without Manu, SA has zero chance to win it all.
Hopefully he has a quick recover. I want to see Manu back 100% to play the playoffs.
Name one time..
time to wake up
Manu is 35 and that injury is hard to heal from. Plus the chance of reagravating is high. I hope Pop is a realist and assumes we are not getting a healthy Manu at least for the 1st 2 rounds.
Stephen Jackson, that is the guy that needs to turn it on, along with Kawhi and Parker. I think a solid TD, Parker, Kawhi, Jackson could possibly take us to round 2. Hopefully
best quote of the year imho
Manu Ginobili's jersey is turning into a suit more and more every year.
Another year, another playoffs where Manu's unhealthy.
Elliott just said on the broadcast that Manu told him that his hamstring really isn't bothering him right now and he isn't sure exactly when he will come back. The Spurs want to make sure that it is all the way healed and he doesn't re-injure it.
Great news and if you go by this it looks like he should definitely be ready for round 1 of the playoffs and maybe even sooner.
Why is this hard to believe? Every laughs at Dwyane Wade for always being hurt because he "flops" by throwing his body to the ground after every drive or any contact. Manu does the same thing.
It's not the one specific flop that hurts him, it's the numerous amount of times he hits the floor over and over when its really not necessary.
Flopping consist of allowing to body to take a hard fall for the purpose of selling the foul, and not bracing or protecting yourself from the fall as you normally would, resulting in more damage.
I don't know about that. If the Lakers make the playoffs they will be playing pretty well. There was such much complaining in '11 that the Grizzlies weren't really an eight seed. It will probably be the same thing over again.
Lakers also have Nash/Artest out. And Kobe playing a ton of minutes. He played 48, 47, & 43 in his last 3 games
This team is deeper than the team in 2011.
Won't matter, OKC will draw the Lakers in the first round if they make it.
The Lakers will get swept in round 1. No matter if they play us or OKC. They are expending so much energy trying to get there they will be relieved and content.
The Grizz were hungry and actually tanked to get the 8. Much different situations.
Didn't realize he'd played 48. Here's to hoping he suffers a real injury soon as a result
The 2011 Grizzlies were arguably the 2nd best team in the West that season behind Dallas. It was no fluke they beat us and almost beat the Thunder.
The 6th-8th seeds this year are nothing compared to the 2011 Grizzlies. Even though we have sucked lately, the West is very weak.
If the Spurs play the way they did tonight, anyone can beat them. Luckily they'll play with more fire in the playoffs.
You would hope they play with more fire in the playoffs.
I saw Manu walking around tonight without any limp and also climbing over the chairs several times. He's fine.
CIA Pop with the resting goods.
thanks for the good news
Pop knows now fully, Health >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> #1 seed, period. That should have been a proven in 011 playoffs, period. He tried to play Manu that last game to get #1 over the Bulls! NO........ Health is the key here, that and assuming they can gel some.
That final game in 2011 that Manu got hurt in was a fluke. If I were in Pop's shoes back then I'd of played everyone in it too. Good tune up game before the playoffs and it was the easier game compared to the Lakers the night before. Pop should play the final game of this season the same way, though I'm thinking he prolly won't.
