How desperate are these guys to see him back on the floor? I hope he comes back and we'll pound them anyway.
Calf injuries don't just go away that quickly. The risk of re-injuring it is substantial. Boneheaded bravado if you ask me.
Oops. Repost, sorry.
They seriously put out a press release for this ?
Even with Gimpy on the floor, Parker will still blow by him!
Ibaka's tribe mustave sacrificed a few dozen goats back in his hometown
it is what it is folks.
Ibaka will be fine and play well for them. I see 50% shooting, a couple of blocks in 20+ minutes of play
its finally a series folks...
I heard ybaka was freebasing somilain babies for that sweet stem cell magic
Too pumped for sunday!!
True, I'm extra hyped for sunday
desperation is a smelly cologne
i aint worried about ibaka returning, i'm more concerned if tony brothers will be officiating any of the games
No better way to energize the Spurs and keep them from getting complacent. Pop couldn't ask for more.
If the Spurs can win game 3 the Thunder will be ready to quit.. They will put all their emotional hopes in this return so it's up to us to slam the door shut..
Between Brooks calling out free throw attempts after being bludgeoned by 35 to now changing their stance on Ibaka hoping to 'throw off' the Spurs, it reeks of desperation.
It's actually quite pathetic...
Bush league, amateur hour.....can we start the Finals yet and be done with these pretenders?
Next.....
Ive been saying all along he would come back.
Well, if you look at what Presti said closely, his clear implication is that the initial diagnosis was more serious than it has ended up being. In other words, he should be fine for Sunday because it was never as bad as they made it out to be. Makes you kind of wonder about who was reading the MRI, but nonetheless that is what they are saying.
They're rushing him back regardless of what the initial diagnosis was, Presti is just trying to cover his ass tbh.
Looks like Abaka heard about Tony's success with nibbling on placentas for his pregame snack. He's been gorging on black market Congolese placentas for almost 2 weeks now.
I read what he said but it doesn't make sense. Ibaka was clearly limping and pointing to his calf. I had a calf strain recently and I know that limping automatically qualifies as at least a grade 2 strain. To be limping even with all the adrenaline of playing in an elimination game means it was pretty severe. A grade 2 sprain takes around 6-8 weeks to heal properly and is very prone to re-injury if you don't take it slowly. Believe me, I know.
If Ibaka is indeed thinking of playing, he'll be a s of himself and be at high risk for re-injury. Basketball is really tough on the calves with all the jumping and cutting.
The only thing I can think might have happened is that the injury was simply a large contusion and not a strain at all. If that's the case even after an MRI then it doesn't say much about the quality of their medical staff. Maybe it was a ploy all along to try and make the best of a bad situation.
The Thunder ing about FTAs is the biggest joke in sports. They have gotten WAY more than their share for years, and they're so in spoiled they cry about it any time they don't get them.
Desperation is a stinky calogne, john. Super troopers reference?
So obvious they were lying to begin with. Just from a physiological stand point it all dosent add up what they have been saying, and why do they need to have a press release for this? They are just playing mind game but they are playing with a team that is the master of mind games.
You got that right SAMMY!!!!!
The Ibaka has to end NOW!
We are running around screaming like we are already down 3:2.
In case you didn't get the memo: We are playing the best basketball of any team right now! With Ibaka we might not sweep them, but no way we are not going to the finals.
