The good news is that all those guys you mention right there are young and can handle minutes TBH. These are not guys that need to be restricted in minutes.
Well, that was the one type of injury Tiago couldn't get...

While they (KA/Simmons) have shown flashes, it's pretty clear the impact Manu had on everyone consistently. It's a really large void to fill and I'm not sure KA/Simmons can do it consistently.
Many times, there was not much of a fort to hold down- bench had to not only get leads, but extend them. Unless we see more of the starter heavy box score we just saw vs NO, it could be tough. Not to mention, NO isn't even a great team and it was a nip and tuck game all the way through.
Manu needs to rest until playoffs. Oh yeah and lots of ice.
One wonders if Manu will go on the Rodeo Road Trip to effectively be a coach or if they'll keep him home.
Losing Manu will hurt but we will be fine tbh
Our Schedule doesn't start picking up until March 10 when we host Chicago, around the 5 week mark on Manu's injury and our rodeo road trip doesn't look very tough.
Think we will probably drop a game or two, but won't be because we are down Manu.
Think Tim will be back the game against the Clippers after the all star break and have our biggest road win of the season against a Blake-less Clippers team.
We aren't catching the Warriors unless Steph goes down. The Thunder have as tough schedule as us, so they will drop a few games themselves that it will even out.
Manu will be back during the stretch run, that he will be feeling good once the playoffs come around.
Ouch!
But funny!
I think we still keep the second seed.
Let the Joe Johnson watch begin, tbh.
Manu fans saying we wouldn't of made the Finals in 13' without himThe second best player of the Big 3, and 3rd best Spur of all time carried that team. MVParker.
Parker led the G1 comeback against the Worriers, and Manu almost spoiled that too with a stupid shot with 16secs on the clock
no nuts, no glory
I would love that too, but why would he choose us over Cleveland or GSW, TBH?

Heard Joe Johnson is a quiet dude a la duncan. Spurs might be his kinda team.
Manu got a testicle removed?
Monobili
all is well OP, Manu will surely be healthy in time for the olympics
The way GS is playing, things like TD's injury and Manu's injury could be exactly what we need to make it all come together. Without a doubt, we need a healthy and somewhat rested big 3 to be successful, these injuries help that. Also this gives more concentration to the newbies in learning the system and gaining confidence. Its already helped LMA's game. I think itll definitely help KA's game who I think could be a real difference maker.Losing Manu will hurt but we will be fine tbh

He will be missed but there are veterans in the bench too. If it was just them two it would be trouble. Really the stars have to do more at this point. I agree Manu did a lot, its like Tim. We lost some games bc we were not adjusted to playing without him and really without Tim we are not an elite championship contender team. But can we hold down the fort for some games without him? Yes. LMA stepped up and other guys (the trickle down went to Kyle at the 4) also stepped up their games.
Without Manu, more than likely other guys will have to step it up, asking the vets first (the trickle down effect will go to Simmons at the bench SG spot) So all things considered, it is not the two of them who are replacing Timmy and Manu, but others in the team, and then they will have to fill up roles here and there, which they should be fine, so long as the stars and vets we do have also increase their burden. It's not like all of a sudden the two of them are supposed to give you everything Timmy/Manu gave you... its a team effort. In that kind of sense we should be sufficiently fine to weather the storm while Timmy and Manu get ready to join the team again.
I had to give myself a reality check to not be set up for disappointment, but if you see it as responsibilities going from top to bottom we should be fine because we have a lot of veterans.
You guys will learn about why R. Butler made this team. He works very hard and will help out in the next month.
Manu has unique skills and he will be missed, but the team will have to compensate. At least guys like Simmons and Anderson have been getting good stretches of playing time.
Tim and Manu simply cannot play a full 82 game season and playoffs and have not for a number of years. At least Manu will have an opportunity to come back and get back in the grove before the playoffs start. From what I read about his procedure he just needs to take it easy for a few weeks and he should be OK - world class athletes can recover more quickly than regular people.
Ryan Anderson needs to get roughed up the next time we see him. That was an unnecessary, low class, b**** move he made. The game was over. Gutless worm.

Butler will be the prime player who gets minutes from this. Manu "one ball" Ginobili may finally take better care of the one ball he has on the court.
A huevo Manu a huevo....
Bill I'm thinking he will stay home and recuperate. For all the people who don't realize how badly we will miss Manu I just gotta say 'you are living in a dream land.' He is probably our best playmaker, the head of the snake for our bench, one of the best SG's in the game, and one of the most passionate, compe ive players ever to play the game. Now if the team can step up for 16 to 24 games we can go into the home stretch with a rested Manu and a healthy Tim.
