Such a promising young talent. My thoughts and prayers go out to the kid.
It finally may be dawning on me that they may indeed miss the playoffs this year. Wow

I wish they would tank but I still think will be at 7th or 8 seed
dunno, lma + gay + DDR with a chip on his shoulder probably drags us into 7th or 8th
Best case scenario is 6 months with this injury
This ain't football. I'm sure it's just his ACL. He weights like nothing so that also helps..But yeah no way he comes back this year. It takes months to get your range of motion back, and then you spends months strengthening the support muscles involved with your knee. Then even after that it takes time to get the normal sensation in your knee to fire and be responsive. Unless your a freak of nature like Adrian Peterson. But even under that rare cir stance Pop would still hold him out anyways, and rightfully so.
2000 free throws and 2000 three pointers a day during rehab please
Murray's goal would be to be at full contact come preseason. It is a 12-month recovery, give or take a few months either side depending on the success of the surgery, any complications or setbacks, and how much of a rehab workhorse you are. They then say its a further 12 months until psychologically you get over it. On Rose's injury Bulls team physician Brian Cole who performed the surgery on Rose said "While he will hopefully be at a very high level in 12 months, it still may take slightly longer. … It depends on the muscle psychology, confidence issues." It's often a player athletism is lost during that period. Think about it, they not running, sprinting, jumping or doing leg weights. However, psychologically you don't explode off the knee. It is a brain thing, (you don't want to feel that pain again.) This can lead to overcompensating on your different knee. Rose last a few months before tearing his right meniscus and was out for the remainder of the season. He returned for 40 odd games the following season and tore it again. For Rose, it was probably a combination of bad luck. It is incredible that the guy is still playing the in NBA and appears to be starting this year.

Yes I think people are underestimating those three.
Heard that they projected him out 9-10 months. Not that we didn't have an idea, but that's what I heard from my trusted source. It's not breaking news or anything like that, but just sharing
With all the KY drama Spurs are going to be even more cautious no way is he playing this season.
I also think Walker will be severely micro managed and get very little playing time. His knee needs to heal from two surgeries need time to figure out his soft tissue issues get him on a total different work out plan.
No reason to rush him back this season. You could see with Wentz he was able to do non-contact a few months after the surgery but the Eagles waited a full 10 months before bringing him back into a game. Spurs have the luxury of this happening early in a season so he’s only going to miss this season and none of next, barring any setback (back to the Eagles, but takes me back to when Jason Peters’ walker failed and he missed the entire next season!)
Point someone made on Murray honing in his shooting during this period is spot on. He will be able to get plenty of reps doing this while he rehabs - spot up attempts at least.
I don't see many better 2-way punches in the west outside Rockets and Warriors. I think LMA and DDR if they remain healthy should be enough to get through. Our balance is a bit ordinary though and Gay really needs to become the clear 3rd best player in this team.
Their margin for error is really close, they can't afford any more injuries and in 82 games there will be some nags or bruises to somebody for sure. I assume LMA knee will need rest at some point.
They don't have a PG... just a bunch of combo guards of varying effectiveness.
White has underwhelmed though I hope he Improves through the season, but they can't afford a slow start.
Their defense was probably going to depend on Murray a lot to anchor it and he's gone. It's easier for my stress level to assume it's a lost year than be concerned about people not being good enough.
I have low expectations at this point and last season really drained me too.
pretty sympathetic lol
Harden shoved him. Did Murray at least get a foul called?

he already had thots, just needs prayurz now
Still gonna get that 8th seed, even without Murray tbh
I'm hopping for an LMA fake injury and Pop making absurd coaching choice on purpose
Let's DDR have good numbers but get a really high lottery pick
Silver lining is more pics of his GF's ass on Insta.

And you can probably add next season in the rehab column since it usally takes the same time you were out to get back at 100% (if you ever do).
Look at Gay... usually takes a full season following a big injury to be yourself. And that's when you don't injured yourself again.
Where's my DJ's insta bookmark...
Came back just to see the meltdown. Dude's being paid about a third of what Westbrook's being paid and very much in line with what a veteran back-up gets. Less than Jeremy Lin.
White will need to become NBA ready in a hurry.
The offense wasn't great under Murray last year and I don't think it will ever be great if he's a traditional point guard. I could see the offense running through DeRozan by season's end (see James Harden), even with a healthy Murray. I know he worked his ass off this off-season, but court vision and play making is something that you either have or you don't, and he's not great in that department.
I see Murray eventually being a combo guard with the bulk of running the offense in someone else's hands. The Spurs will feel his loss defensively and on the glass, but I think the offense might be smoother without him. Offensively his loss isn't going to hurt the Spurs.
This year's Spurs might be paper tigers. I have a feeling they'll do great in the regular season, but might not have the defensive stopping ability to carry that far into the post season. I'm still thinking 4-6 seed.
This injury doesn't end the Spurs' season.
Any more key injuries though and it starts getting bleak.
