is this good news?NVE will sit 'til playoffs

[T Park]

how did his one turnover make Duncan go 7 for 22 against Denver?

You don't think that turnover to make it go from a 2 point lead, to a tie game at the halftime.

No, that had no baring on the game what so ever, noooo.

[T Park]

TPark is starting to panic, it must be close to playoff time

The slovenians are insutling, it must be because were speaking the truth about their fellow countrygirls.

Beno>Van Exel. This is a good thing that happen to San Antonio. Van Exel was done last year but I guess he wants a championship so I guess he is riding the spurs to hopefully get one.

Considering the number of swingmen we have, I'd really rather have Barry playing the point instead of Udrih

Oh poor TPark, you are insulted.... let me give you a candy or donut to buy me out.

Bone spurs don't normally go away, and in Nick's case, it seems they've decided surgical removal is the only way. The bone spur pain stops him from playing now, and the bone spur pain will stop him from playing in April-June. I figure he's done for the year, and maybe for his career.

Is the injury simply a bone spur/arthitic change or is it a bone chip/joint mouse? I ask this because rest would help a spur/arthitic change but probably not help a joint mouse.

I don't know the details of Nick's bone spurs. But it doesn't matter.

Playing basketball, and apparently not very much, apparently and quickly causes so much pain that Nick can't play for awhile.

So he rests, then no or not much pain, then he plays, but not much, then it hurts, so he sits again.

I figure Pop is fed up with that pattern and is trying a longer rest for Nick.

I also figure, when Nick plays again (if ever), there's a high probabilty that his elbow will rapidly flare up again, disabling him again.

Beno is so short on NBA experience, in his second year, that I figure that every minute he can play now is allowing him to make serious improvements and gain confidence.

Four.

[polandprzem]

Well Nick is not making a turnover either

As much as it pains me to agree with a Mavs fan - but you're right! Van Exel placed himself on IR during the final 1/3 of last season as much because of the losing culture in Portland as it was due to his injured elbow. He even hinted that 2005 would be his last year.

Now why all of a sudden did he postpone his retirement plans? It's not because he's suddenly healthy. He wants to win a championship.

I do not question Nick's desire or his reputation as a fierce compe or and cold-blooded scorer in this league. However, the fact is his injuries just prevent him being a productive player night in and night out. I think he's done.
