Pau Gasol injured?

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

just what the Spurs needed



but how sad is it that the Spurs now have to rely on injuries for other teams

So we're the only team relying on injuries of the higher seeded teams?

When your team is relying on other teams to get injuries to stay in the playoffs you're not a contender IMHO.

I meant relying on other team for injuries in order to get HCA throughout.
Good point though.

If they're reporting that he's gonna be gone two weeks then there's no telling how long he'll actually be out...they did, in fact, report that Bynum would only be out 2 months...

[DazedAndConfused]

Gasol had a similar injury during training camp this season that kept him out 10 days. He said it feels the exact same way. Bynum is expected back 2nd week of April, he's already out on the court dunking and practicing shooting drills. Man it's going to be nuts when both of those guys come back.

here ya go So Cal

Bynum was supposed to be back by now, but its ok that thats delayed by over 4 weeks?

Okiedoke...

Looks like they could lose another 3 games along with their already losing to the Hornets.

Yea these next 3 games are going to be rough. If we can get just 1 win I'd be happy. 2 and I'll be ecstatic. The important thing is staying atop the Pacific Division. Thankfully we have an absolute cake schedule after this road trip, while our division rival PHX goes through murderer's row. The hope is we can keep a top 4 seed, use the 1st and 2nd round to get Bynum back into the swing of things and go full steam ahead from there. It's a long shot, but given how shaky the WC is anything can happen.

And for the umpteenth time nobody ever said Bynum would be back in 8 weeks, they said 8 weeks MINIMUM. The Lakers aren't in any hurry to bring him back and he won't be on the floor until he's 100%.

The great flaw in Laker fan thinking has always been to forget that there is only one ball, and it's Kobe's.

You think I give a about offense? We can put up over 100ppg without Gasol or Bynum in the lineup. Offense is not our problem.

ITS THE DEFENSE MAN. I long to see Bynum back in the paint blocking shots, grabbing boards, and making the opposing team think twice about driving in the lane. This is what we've been sorely lacking since he went down.

Not with the league MVP on their team. Not with the best player in the NBA on their team. Not with the best finisher in the GAME on their team!!!
