This was pretty much a jinx thread...Parker's return, coupled with Hill's injury has pretty much killed this team. I really wish we could have gotten some lottery balls out of this wasted season.
hmmm looks like chris_Peterson got bounced

Curious, how is making the playoffs and getting your big 3 back with your team playing it's best basketball all year...A wasted season?
Because of the Lakers? them...they've been exposed and are totally ripe for a killing right now.
Let me get this straight...we just lost to the Grizzlies at home and are missing our best perimeter defender for possibly the rest of our season and THEY are the team ripe for the picking?
Manu could be shot walking out of his house tomorrow and you would see the positives in it...your homerism knows no bounds.
Awesome on you for rooting for loses.
BTW the injury for Hill is not a rest of the season injury.
Please...
I root for making the team better and an 8th seed + first round sweep isn't going to do much to improve it. Kudos to you for going down with the ship while never questioning any of the decisions that caused this situation in the first place...
Until I see a definitive reason to think otherwise, it seems sometime in the playoffs is the best prognosis...which is probably going to be too late against the best team in the West.
Hey, truthfully...have you ever spent time as an Athletic Trainer in any capacity? I have and I can tell you that looking at the way he tweaked his ankle, it's more a high ankle issue than your everyday garden variety issue. He's a good perimeter defender, yes he has arms like Dhalsim from Street Fighter II, but he ain't the best one on the team. That's Manu Ginobili. GHill is a very important blade in Pop's Swiss Army knife. I await to see his health in the next few days. A high ankle sprain isn't the death knell for a season unless it's game 7 and it's in 24 hours. This team is nowhere near that yet. I ain't a homer. It's true I'm more optimistic than you are. I mean , you're looking for lottery balls in an upcoming draft where most experts are saying that it's a relatively WEAK draft pool. So who wants that? I didn't and I'm glad the Spurs are in the playoffs.
So about them Lakers. They're playing their worst ball all season and have been consistently bad the last 3 weeks. I live out here in So Cal and I can tell you...the fans out here do now want the Spurs.
Again, Andrew Bynum is still in a walking boot. He cannot run or jump and will not be able to until he gets medical clearance. And team Doc, Steve Lombardo isn't sure when that will be. It's not like the LAL's med staff has been able to work wonders that speed up healing time. Their track record shows the opposite. It shows that players go down with, what may seem, a benign injury and then end up being out for months.
Hey, did you see how bad DFish, Vujasuck, Farmar, & Brown are shooting?
Fish is shooting .380, Vujasuck is .388, Farmar is .440 & Brown is at .425.
Add Kobe's bad digit and on-again, off-again finger issues and again, and already proven weak bench and inconsistent offense from Gasol & Artest....WHY ARE YOU SCARED?
This LAL team doesn't have that drive that carried them through the year after Boston pissed green all over their white, purple and yellow jerseys.
I'll take a healthy Spurs team that's playing it's best basketball over one that isn't healthy and playing it's worse basketball season. THERE IS NO SWITCH.
If that's being too much of an optimist, well...I don't give a . At least, there's a logic in the chaos. It's not just homerism. I witnessed the 01 s acking, live and in color at Staples. Wasn't fun to wear Silver and Black in that building. I witness 03 when DFish & Kobe were crying...now that was fun.
No one is saying you aren't allowed to be a homer but getting on others for not pissing silver and black into their tail glasses is silly. I wouldn't call barely beating a bad Kings team, being blown out by the Suns with Nash sitting the entire 4th quarter and then losing at home to Memphis playing their "best basketball of the season".
I'm not a professional athletic trainer but I'm sorry...you seeing Hill twist his ankle on TV like everyone else doesn't make me believe your opinion of how long he will be out more than anyone else. Until the Spurs actually give an expected return date, his injury status seems pretty indefinite to me.
As for the Lakers, I think they have earned enough credibility from winning the championship last year, plus having the 2nd best record in the NBA this year, to expect their play to rise for the playoffs. The Spurs, outside of their nice run while Hill was running point, haven't shown any consistency whatsoever and their playoff run last year was no different.
Good luck to us all though...I just don't feel like "believing" in something so broken. If you want to buy stock in the NBA version of Toyota...more power to you.
