how dare tony miss time with an injury
get well soon kawhi
Yes, because he's useless without the ball in his hands. His teammates become useless when Cory does has the ball in his hands. Cory has no clue on how to run an offense. Without Manu on the court, the only one involved in the offense is Cory. No wonder Manu has to close games out as the pg.
Because he didn't cheat on a latina , tbh
Our $60 million point guard doesn't seem to know how to run an offense either - 5 TOs tonight for Enrique.
Cut him!!!!
We're gonna need a healthy Tony to make any sort of run. Sure, his impact is overrated (Tony's plus/minus is down there with Kirby's), but his presence makes Cojo and Mills that much better, since we can swarm opposing teams with either a defensive pg (CoJo), a shooting pg (Mills), or a scoring pg (Parker). Teams also still gameplan for Parker, which is a big plus that takes defensive attention away from Mills/Cojo.
Kawhi also needs to tape it up and get out there. Sorry, I don't buy Pop's line of bull that he's two weeks away and can't extend his fingers.
There was a point when Enrique couldn't shoot or run a team very well either. Cory is what, 21 or 22? He has nowhere to go but up...the opposite is true for 32 yr old Enrique unfortunately.
He's been done before.
This. I'm rooting for the guy even if watching him right now is like having a root canal, tbh
As a former boxer I've had many hand injuries, lots of bruised hands, ligament damage etc. your hand just doesn't work properly, it feels really weak like you have no strength, especially those sharp shooting pains when trying to grab things. Sometimes the pain makes it go numb too. They should hold him out as long as it takes, those injuries are no joke.
I feel you.
Nobody said Tony was a spring chicken. You don't realize what it takes to recover from a hamstring injury completely. It's a recurring injury and until Tony gets some games under his belt, while remaining healthy, the possibility of a relapse will play over and over again in his mind. He'll get better as the season progresses.
Parker hasn't looked right all season, even when he took the summer off. This is looking more and more like a steep decline...
Spurs desperately need his penetration to create shots but it's looking more and more unlikely that speed and quickness will ever return.
Problems with Hamstrings? More like ham sandwiches.
Parker looks heavy also. Doing that Boris rehab.
Dude relax. Guy needs to get the rust off.
he'll be back soon
I suppose he's gonna play a lot of minutes against the Wolves tomorrow?
the wolves suck so yes
Tony Porker and Bobo hanging around too much.
So did the Pistons so, we'll see.
Oh you mean the mild hamstring strain? Quit treating it like it was a freaking tear. Soft ass Derrick Rose, the guy that sits out games bc he wants to be able to walk when he has children, missed one game with the exact same thing.
the pistons post Josh Smith?
besides it was the first game after the injury for TP
We gave that Pistons game away... no other way to look at it...
I'm not going to argue with the TP hate posse anymore. It's clear to me that he is rehabbing and going 70% speed. Pop sees the same game we do. He looks at all the stats. He's not an idiot. He sees the same lackluster performances. Still TP had some nice plays tonight (with terrible ones) and some decent defense.
Everyone just needs to be patient. Pop is playing the long game because he knows he needs a healthy TP for this season and beyond, otherwise the Spurs have no great high usage ball handler. Pop is easing TP back into form. It's possible TP never gets healthy this season.
And yes he has high mileage and will likely be a step slower when healthy, but I withhold judgment on just how much decline there really is. He takes very good care of himself and is a fierce compe or. I hold out hope he'll be mostly back at some point this season.
He's just resting for tomorrow
non-issue
