3 weeks makes it seem like the old DRob during the epidural series back in the day.

“Five-Oh is the best center in the League,” or that Tim Duncan was right for not leaving San Antone so he “can finish playing alongside David.” That’s when we’ll truly recognize the 71-point game, the scoring le, and all the rest. As he is carried off the court, still not letting the ball go, we will look at his face and see the joy and pain of his life of criticism and celebrity. That’s when we flash back to those legendary “Mr. Robinson’s Neighborhood” commercials. That’s when we’ll take back everything we said about him being “scared” to play against Shaq in last year’s playoffs once we realized that he had received epidurals for back pain—something that no man reading this could endure. That’s when it will sink in that David Robinson ain’t their n*gger, he’s our n*gga. We just hope on that day, it’s not too late.
I laughed at first, but then caught myself and realized that there is a strong possibility of this happening.
Unfortunately, this is what happens to older players - they get injured. Unfortunately for the Spurs, it couldn't have come at a worse time. After all of Pop's minute management and tanking games, nothing he's done could stop this recent rash of injuries.
OKAY, but how healthy will they be??????????
DNP - Diabetes
Diaw is going to miss 3 weeks, pack on like 50 lbs, and come back a mini version of Shaq and be a dominant force to be reckoned with. All part of Pop's master plan.
It's justice. He quit on his former team in order to play for you.
Let us proceed...
Well of course that explains it. Just like Ginobili is french, right? smh
And just like Parker (who IS french) begging Pop to let him play and Pop refusing. That's right. It is all explained by country of origin.
Perhaps Pop is french, since he is the one deciding how long players are out?
you make a good point. But don't forget, Pop had try to magically morph Neal into a back up PG with no ball handling skills, Bonner into a PF with no defensive or rebounding skills, and Blair into a center guarding guys twice his size.lol adapted....like magically morphing Baynes into a shooting/passing big.
Gr8 plan.
Gr8 plan 8
I'm Thcott Malkinthon and I have diabetethe.
Diaw rarely shoots the ball ... and rarely is guarded so your point is entirely moot anyway.
But...but... they know the system! All good.you make a good point. But don't forget, Pop had try to magically morph Neal into a back up PG with no ball handling skills, Bonner into a PF with no defensive or rebounding skills, and Blair into a center guarding guys twice his size.

Shut the up.
That' a damn bad news.
Between all these injuries and Spurs' relatively poor level of play, it looks more and more Spurs won't have a strong postseason.
Another fine post!you make a good point. But don't forget, Pop had try to magically morph Neal into a back up PG with no ball handling skills, Bonner into a PF with no defensive or rebounding skills, and Blair into a center guarding guys twice his size.

All three of these guys are severely flawed as full service players and have great limitations that make them miscast on this roster. In order for the Spurs to remain compe ive, I just don't see a future for them here. So I just wonder what's next?
It unreal...because the one guy that should be breaking down is defying the odds and playing at a historically high level for his age.
You are correct.
2010-11: Started 57-13, finished 6-10 (4-6 regular season, 2-4 playoffs). Collapse came after game 70.
2011-12: Started 60-16 (50-16 regular season, 10-0 playoffs), finished 0-4. Collapse came after game 76.
2012-13: Started 55-17, so far finishing 2-4. Collapse came after game 72.
It's all pretty much the same result; only the shortened season gave the Spurs an opportunity to make a long playoff run. If the lockout had lasted another couple of weeks they might have beaten OKC! If the season had been just 50 games, they might have won it all! The asterisk placed on the 1999 season starts to make more sense, at least until that le was validated by the other 3.
The Spurs will lose in the first round regardless of whether their opponent is Houston, GS, or LAL. They're spent.
There is nothing at all su ious about a 37-year-old suddenly seeming rejuvenated and recovering more quickly from minor injuries than players 7 years his younger. Just like in baseball, I'm sure it's just advances in medicine and nutrition.
Won't even touch the nonsense on Duncan
but the theory of running out of gas over 3 years is nonsense too. It is really hard to compare years due to injuries and matchups year to year. Since Duncan is not spent in 2013 and was the only Spur still on this team from 1999 I don't think that's the major factor. Plus, any team that doesn't win it can look bad when just marking the last few games (they lose 100% of the FINAL games you know).
Spurs and Pop do need to find a rhytmn but not a spent issue- injury and resting issue
We will win first round easily 4-1 or 4-2
Win Semis 4-2 and then roll the dice in the WCF. When you make it that far it is not just being spent it is facing elite teams.
GOOD GRIEF!! Is there NO limit to how much crap a poster can put on his/her sig? It is such a damn waste of time to have to wade through all those pics just to get to the next poster's comments.
Come on, man. Give us all a break, would you?
