Didn't deserve a thread, tbh. Please pink OP, thank you.
I'm sure some people wish it was...

Don't be silly
wtf ?
we have just two manu haters ducks and mookie
Im not one of them I picked manu to get more than 17 pts tonite
So wait, it's a cramp and the sky is falling?
at least manu won't suck like tp in the PO
Man, you are suck a sucker
It's almost become a self fulfulling prophecy at this point. It's as if every time he feels the slightest bit of pain or soreness, he automatically assumes he's injured, instead of just taking it for what it is, which is part of the game.
The reality is, he's the type that's bound to have at least a scare every couple of weeks at most, so it's going to happen in the playoffs too. He might want to actually be in game shape/rhythm by the time they roll around though. That's not going to happen with all these starts and stops.
As far as team wise, he can't be counted on, so they need a credible backup PG. Even if it's someone who's not in the rotation, when healthy, they've got to have a serviceable enough option to go to for when he inevitably goes down. And also for hectic stretches in the schedule. We know they're going to sit the big three in one game of both back-to-back-to-backs and possibly a few others down the stretch, but you'd at least like to have a fighting chance in those games. That's not going to happen with Neal, Green and Joseph, running point.
Elnono with an honorable attempt at damage control. Throwing himself in front of Manu, drawing the attention and sacrificing himself for the entire church.
people pretending Manu decides whether to keep playing or not
It's a thankless job, tbh
It will not go in vain. You serve a higher power.
Did they say anything on the postgame? I'm checking twitter, but no news.
Pop on Manu: "He just tightened up."
That was the report on Kawhi and he missed something like ten days of action, IIRC.
Look at Bryant, Bynum and every other key Laker, who play through 99% of their injury scares and miraculously don't go on to suffer further damage. They keep playing because they choose to.
Parker's another example. He takes far more hits than Ginobili and plays far more minutes too, but most of the time he'll either say he's fine or it's just bumps and bruises, which are to be expected. He doesn't sit out a minimum two weeks at the slightest bit of pain. Yet he rarely has something linger for an extended stretch or have it get significantly worse in the process.
If it trully is leg "tightening", it's just a sign of not beign in game shape yet.
what are we looking at? 2 weeks?
Expecting that you're going to get anything other than injury-plagued mediocrity from Manu at this stage in his career is similar to the expectation that turds such as Blair, Bonner and RJ can produce anything other than failure in the PO.
Doubt it. He might not even miss the next game. Depends how he is in the morning.
You had me at Bryant but then lost me at Bynum.
Manu twisted his ankle the previous game and kept playing. He has played injured in the playoffs. I can see where Pop would shut him down on a meaningless game up 10 against the Wizards...
Bynum played less games than Manu the past 3 or so seasons, IIRC
