I agree. What I worry is that it'll take him about 4-5 games to get back in rythm. Hopefully, those will be the last 4-5 games of regular season instead of the 1st round of playoffs.
two to three weeks min.
for any that has had injuries, like myself and there is pain from running, it take a whlie to heal

No question he'll play. How effective has to be the concern.
my guess is we will be facing the Mavericks in the first round.
And if we do, i dont think we need a 100% Manu to beat those guys.
The Mavs would be one of the toughest, if not the toughest 1st round match-ups IMO. You never want to play a rival.my guess is we will be facing the Mavericks in the first round.

Other than Portland and maybe Houston, all the teams SA could face in the first round have an axe to grind with the Spurs. NO, Utah, and Denver all have had their playoffs hopes crushed by the Spurs within the last few years.
So you are saying there is no difference between the Spurs/Mavs and Spurs/...? There is no question the Mavs are the Spurs biggest rivals in recent history, they are in the same division and they always play well against the Spurs. Unlike Houston/Portland/Utah/Denver, the Mavs have actually knocked the Spurs out of the PO's.
Excluding the Lakers, bc it is highly unlikely we play them in the 1st round.
Mavs suck.
Dude don't go overboard. Eventhough series vs. Mavs would be hard fought, I still would rather face them than clearly stronger teams such as Utah, NO, and even Portland.
My ideal matchup for Spurs would be Denver and Houston. Then Dallas. If Spurs get beat in round 1 by Dallas they deserve to be out.
BTW it looks like a sure thing we will face Dallas in 1st round. so better get used to it
No where did I say the Spurs would lose. I said it is not an ideal match-up. I would rather have every team besides them or the Lakers in the first round imo.
I cant think of 3 other teams Id rather not face...
Lakers
Hornets
Jazz
That would be 2 other teams, because I included the Lakers. We own the Jazz and the Hornets are not as good as last year and we beat them. I would take either one over the Mavs.
no way. Jazz, Hornets >>>>>>>>>>> Dallas
When is the last time NO or Utah beat the Spurs in the PO? What is the difference in those 3 teams current records? How is Utah on the road?
??
Any sensible Spurs fan whos been watching the games would say it.
One cant do without the other but the pace and the focus of the offense is on Tony now.
It's the rust that would concern me. I don't want him to come back too soon, either. Get him healthy first but I would like to see him in several games (5 -6 min) prior to the POs. shake off the rust and get some game conditioning back before entering the POs.
Are you trying to call scoreboard with Tim injured? Due to injuries, TP has shouldered the load. But this is still Tim's team.
But you still have not answered my questions from the previous post...
[quote=raspsa;3199504]It looks like they underestimated the severity of the injury. The Spurs have only got one more shot at getting manu reay so I hope they don't blow it. rest him as long as possible regardless any impact on the playoff seedings.[/quote]
I'd say the same for Duncan.
Team history doesnt mean squat. This Mavericks team is different then back in 2006 and everyone would say the same thing.
Utah and Hornets would be a more diffcult matchup. And that is all.
Call scoreboard???
dude Tim was healthy since the beginning and Tony was still taking over games single handedly. Where have you been??
This is getting to be too much. First of all team history means nothing now, so I guess "experience" is not really a factor because it is history. Please explain how those two would be more difficult match-ups? Can Utah win on the road? Have the Hornets regressed?
Secondly, Tony has played great, but too bad the game is just not offense only. This is Tim's team, no questions asked. Have you watched the Spurs? Tim has been healthy? Have you seen the knee pads?

Team history meaning two teams in past playoff matchups. What happened in 2006 doesnt apply to 2009.
Yea Tim was as good as ever in the first 2-3 months of the season. He looked better than he has in the past 4-5 years and Tony was still averaging more points and winning close games for us.
Im not saying Duncan isnt still the anchor for this team and isnt important but if you watch the games the team goes as Tony goes.
Tony is a good player.
