The way Manu went down and the way he usually heals with those kind of contusions I wouldn't be surprised if he was out.

^Manu has nobody to blame but himself.
Is this Oprah's audience after winning that trip to Australia?![]()

Spurs' Duncan and Ginobili out for week
By Mark J. Miller
The Portland Trail Blazers took down the San Antonio Spurs, 100-92, Monday night and it's no wonder: The Spurs had four starters out of the game with injuries. Tony Parker, Antonio McDyess, Manu Ginobili and Tim Duncan all sat on the sidelines watching.
And NBA.com reports that Duncan (sprained ankle) and Ginobili (quadriceps contusion that had him hobbling out of the arena after Sunday's game) will be out again on Thursday when the Spurs take on the Boston Celtics, and at least the remainder of the week. The site reports that Parker (left patella contusion) could also miss Thursday's game. Pulling Parker, Duncan and Ginobili out of the lineup takes 48.6 points per game out of the team's usual lineup.
duncan would only play if tp is going to play
It still sounds like BS to me. They're going off a report that NBA.com posted before Monday's game. And they all looked pretty good to me moving around and laughing it up on the bench Monday...
You would judge an NBA player's physical readiness by how they look while they were sitting around watching other guys play?
That article is just referencing the NBA.com one that was posted before. Nothing new or developing there.
OK smartass.No, I meant their body language on the bench joking and laughing around with the guys. And even Jeff McDonald said they all looked pretty good mobile-wise...
not if Splitter gets glued to the bench again
So you'd rather Duncan not play?
hope he's 100% ok now.
I'd rather see TD on the bench and stay fresh for the playoffs than see him get injured again and go fishing early in May
but that news means his injury is not that serious.. halleluyah!!![]()
Hopefully he meant basketball
& Pop will only coach if Duncan doesn't retire. Yeah, yeah, yeah, blah, blah, blah.
It's like a f'in' chant![]()
I am extremely expecting Duncan to play in the Boston game.and at the same time, i hope the mavs can beat the lakers
If Tim and Manu are out they might as pull Tony too. No reason to rush him back into carrying the team single-handedly.
The rest of the NBA is screwed unless Pop messes it up:
Spurs now have a proven talented front line of Duncan, Dice and a main reserve Spltter with two reserves in Blair and Bonner that should see at most 10-12 points a game plus a commando type of hot shooter in Novak.
Spurs have the best backcourt in the league with Manu Hill, Parker and the balsy Neal and a player who at least plays half smart in Quinn.
Spurs have other role players that can step up.
Don't screw it up coaching staff and Spurs with me fine
Great news but i wonder how Pop is going to manage minutes considering we have Houston on a b2b.
Probably rest the vet bigs and Manu for Houston. Hopefully Tiago can stay on the court.
Hopefully they play, got some tickets to the Celtics game![]()

..."They are getting there,” Popovich said. “We’ll just see how everybody looks tomorrow.”
...Duncan has been out for the most time since his injury early in the March 21 victory over Golden State. He has missed all of the games of his team’s recent four-game losing streak.
“He’s close,” Popovich said. “We just have to make a decision on it.”
...Parker said he could have played Monday night in an emergency situation.
“I always trust Pop and his judgment. He’s done that in the past,” Parker said. “I’m definitely going to feel fresh.”
