So this all stated because i said that we would have a easier series against the Mavs than the Jazz???
wow.....ever since then youve been hounding every one of my posts
Sorry for the semi-hijack! But we all know how Manu is. This has nothing to do with CIA Pop or anything. He is not fit to play as of now, and for the Spurs sake of beating anyone, we need him and Tim healthy.

Still have not answered any of my questions
It is nothing personal, but I am just interested to see your logic since you so quickly jumped to the "dumbass" card during a discussion. It is a valid question, who would be a tougher match-up, and I want to hear your take and the reasons why.

Its not so much that i think the Jazz/Hornets could beat the Spurs. Its who i think is the weaker link of the 3 (Mavs,Hornets,Jazz)
If i had to pick one it would be the Mavs. The Jazz/Hornets have a better coach and a better team IMO.
The Mavs wouldnt be a cake walk either i just see them not as good as the other two teams.
we need him for the playoffs but not for the reg season
I doubt he will be back this month. Let him sit until the final few games of the regular season. We should be able to lock up the #2 seed without him.
From the post game recap tonight.
Ginobili, who was initially expected to miss two to three weeks with a stress reaction in his right ankle, has now been out a full month. “He’s going to miss the next couple of weeks probably—the next week or two for sure,” Popovich said.
With performances like tonight, we will be lucky to stay in the top 5...
This reminds me of when Duncan had his meniscus tear back in 2000. The Spurs never said he was out for the year. He was always "day-to-day."
I don't think we'll see Manu in uniform until fall, and I don't think we'll ever see the Manu of past playoff lore again.
It looks like the original diagnosis -Stress fracture in the right fibula- was right.
Expecially since there is no such medical en y as "fibula stress reaction".
He might be done for quite a while.
Manu will play this year.
You can tell hes waiting to come back. He doesnt appear nor the team appear (body language) that Manu is out the rest of the season. They know hes gonna be back, theyre just trying to play as hard as they can till he does.
Not quite. A stress fracture is an actual fracture-way worse than a stress reaction.They call it a stress reaction to his fibula because it was caught by an MRI before it got worse and actually turned into a fracture. Either way, he's not back yet and we're all wondering when the he's coming back. What's important is bringing him back a few games before the play-offs if he's able to play. The new guys need to get used to him. It's scary thinking of his first game as game one of the play-offs.
Well I agree with the body language of the team and Manu. They don't look dejected. Manu looks like he's chomping at the bit to get playing, so it seems that they've told him he'll be back, it's jut a metter of what day and which game.
Yes, they talked of a stress reaction, whatever that might be.Not quite.

2-3 weeks, they said.
Optimistic already.
An apparently well informed poster, here, mentioned that the original diagnosis was stress fracture, later downgraded.
It all looked pretty reasonable, the way the message was written.
A fibula stress fracture might be 6 weeks.
Soon it will be 5 weeks since Manu has been diagnosed.
They say 1-2 more weeks.
In essence, however, they don't know.
The point is that with a stress fracture, 3 weeks of cast should be sufficient and then rehab.
With a stress "reaction", they put the cast one week.
In essence, he he was misdiagnosed, he might be done for quite some time, potentially for the season.
If he was not misdiagnosed, he is taking it easy. Which is NOT Manu's approach to things.
I think this is classic cia pop with the Manu situation. He knows we're not going to catch the lakers for the #1 seed, but if he can continue to sit ou Manu and let him get healthy, I think he'll sacrifice a few seeds, maybe down to a #4 seed and then bring back Manu to play a few games at the end of the season to get game ready.
IF this team is fully healthy then we've got a real chance to win the whole shooting match. We can't do it without Manu.
