Makes sense now.

Wow ok, Thanks Kori. All I had heard was shoulder and hip, and possible tailbone, nothing about ankle.
Ahem
But I agree.
We've seen Manu banged on an ankle before. The way he was playing in Boston, NJ and Toronto makes me almost completely sure his ankle was fine back then...
Color me cynical, but the timing of McDonald's piece is a bit curious to me, particularly in light of the obvious desire on the Spurs' part to keep a lid on what's up with Manu. With reports of a season-ending injury swirling and the extent of the reporting on that expanding, the Spurs' desire to keep things hush-hush has been completely obliterated. It makes some sense, then, to have a mouthpiece go out and calm the masses. And for some reason, the tidbit about the injury not being considered a threat to Manu's season seems almost gratuitous to me. Granted, it answers the swirling reports directly, but given the nature of the meeting tomorrow -- and the fact that the meeting will be held tomorrow and not when the Spurs return -- it sure seems like the Spurs are acting with some urgency about an injury that they say won't cost Manu the season.
My decoder ring is quite rusty, though.
Right i'm done i'm going to bed. When I wake it'll be around 3 AM you time, hopefully something has come up by then.
Peace.
Yeah it can drive you crazy!
But most of us Spurs fans wants to make sure everyone is healthy so they can have a legit shot for their 5th ring!!!!!
What doesn't make sense though is that the team would be inquiring about VC, signaling that something is seriously wrong with Manu -- and -- playing Manu in two games, one of which was against the C's. Something seriously doesn't add up -- given the historic reticence to play players who might be injured, I can't think Pop would, in good faith, send Manu through multiple Kendrick Perkins moving picks.
I will say that there does seem to be more mention of FO action this year than in years past -- but I dunno if that's a product of Manu's injury, or the thing causing all this injury talk to occur--as a type of shield or something.
Although it may not have been as publicized, there was likely something like this going on at the end of last season, and we know how that turned out. However, I'd still vote for playing through it, and then consider surgery immediately after the playoffs are over.
I tell you, this is actually worse than seeing any player getting injured during a game. At least then, you know what happened, and what's up.
Yeah, if this weren't something serious, the obvious thing to do would be to let Manu rest and then after the Spurs get back have Pop meet with the doctors. A meeting on the road for a supposedly minor injury doesn't make much sense to me.
Well, usually the Spurs come together on the RRT. This season, it's just kinda ed everything all to .
If spurs can land a big name and not trade Manu or Hill/Mason...
They should build a shrine of Popovich outside the AT&T center....and make the fans kiss it before they walk in....
im just sayin....
The only hope for news before 2 PM tomorrow is if Manu comes out and says something. This could all be over if Manu does an interview and says he's fine or out X amount of time.
Argentina needs to keep us updated on whether Manu has anything to say.
Oh, so you WANT us now?
[/argies]
I'm checking like clockwork...
Nice!
Hopefully Manu doesn't get written out of the script for this season.
What I couldn't tell from the report was whether the docs and R.C. are going to Detroit to meet with Pop and Sevening or whether it's a conference call.
If there's a crew going to Detroit for a meeting, I'm not buying the idea that this categorically isn't considered season-ending
You mean season-threatening?
That's the thing that threw me off, how could they all be having a meeting if the Spurs are going to be in Detroit tomorrow. It has to has to be a conference call.
A meeting in Detroit tomorrow seems weird.
Why will doctors travel when you can do a phone meeting ?
The whole team will talk about Manu's injury in Detroit while Manu will stay in San Antonio ?
It is the busiest day of the year for a GM with the trade deadline and RC will spend time discussing about an injury while he could do it on Friday, a quiet day ?
The MRI was done on Tuseday, why the meeting hasn't been done today ?
This meeting story really smells BS.
Looks like a lot of reading here but not too many tea leaves.
What if Manu's status has nothing to do with any potential Vince Carter trade? Has anybody thought about the possible fan revolt (ala David Robinson in '01) if Manu is traded for the laconic Carter? The Spurs are a very PR-conscious organization (especially in this economy).
Is NJ really so dumb that, presumably after demandng Manu in a trade, they simply conclude that he's injured because the Spurs sit him down for a game or two?
After the Spurs sat down the "Big Three" for a game a week ago for no reason?
After Manu scored 32 points in his last game?
Sometimes the less dramatic interpretation is actually the more probable one.
Maybe there's no "plot" and Manu really is slightly injured.
On the other hand, maybe Manu is not so ravaged that he is out for the year.
Maybe it's just something (albeit boring) in between like McDonald suggested.
+1
Unless its really serious and they want to discuss in person.
