Parker's Hamstring At Risk to Tear

[ontheraise]

in that case there was no reason to sit tony during the second half , spurs loose game 4 during each second tony was bench and ginobili was running the show

LOL... his hamstring is already torn if he has a sprain, which he does.. When someone says "hamstring tear" they usually mean a complete tear of one of the three bands of the hamstring which would definitely end his season. That's what he's dealing with. No rest except for complete rest will help him at this point. Every time he plays it probably tears more and he'll be lucky if this series goes 3 more games not to have a complete tear. He needs a couple weeks of rest to not be at severe risk anymore.

I think the Spurs know they can't beat Miami giving full effort and are just laying down the pre-excuses now. Manu interviews, TP interviews, and Duncan post game interviews.

It's a grade 1 strain, not a sprain. Also, LOL in the Armor's contract.

You really don't know what you are talking about. A muscle strain involves the muscle tissue. A sprain involves the tendon. It's not the same thing at all. A sprain isn't a worse term for a strain. It's two totally different issues. Grade 1 strain just means < 5% of the tissue is torn. Torn tissue puts you at significantly higher risk for more tearing of tissue.
