Enrique

[FkLA]

Parker taking a hot steamy on this thread, tbh.

Oh and OP is a got.

It's for me the most re ed Parker sucks thread of the year

kudos to op tbh compe ion has been fierce this year

Do yall not know how to read? The OP said nothing about Enrique on the court. It was about his inability to play through his sore asscheek and carry his weight, which would in turn help the older guys and the team immensely.

Looks like he finally manned up and listened tbh.

Best thing about Enrique coming back is that Manu won't be handling the ball in crunch time .

The keyword is regular season. Please add playoffs minutes and the story is completely different.
For NBA / ABA, TD is already 1st and TP is already 12th all time in playoff minutes :

I don't know how you goy these stats "under age 32", it would be interesting to have them with playoffs minutes

Damn.. so Tim has played the most NBA minutes in history. Didn't know that.. but now that i think of it its probably not that surprising.

Actually, TD is first in Playoffs minutes, I didn't sum up the regular season minutes and playoff minutes. KAJ is first when you combine the two that's for sure . These are the numbers for regular season :

This is ridiculous. 32 yr old being held out of a back to back while the 40 yr old guys get overworked. This French is going to end up being the cause of the Spurs demise smh.

Poor Manu had to play at the YMCA until he was 25 Warrior

got Parker joined the NBA at 18

There are 3 levels of hamstring strains:

Grade 1 -- mild muscle strain or pull
Grade 2 -- partial muscle tear
Grade 3 -- complete muscle tear

Recovery time depends on the grade of the injury. A minor grade 1 injury can heal in a few days, while a grade 3 injury could take much longer to heal or need surgery.

Derrick Rose Has Mild Hamstring Strain: Day-to-Day


http://m.espn.go.com/general/story?s...go&src=desktop

[FkLA]

40 year old Ginobili is out there playing to exhaustion having to shoulder playmaking duties for the second unit. 45 year old Duncan has to rewind back the clock and have a 4 down offense run through him with the first unit. Meanwhile Enrique is taking weeks off with a sore asscheek.

Does this infuriate anyone else tbh ?

Three weeks later and Duncan/Manu are playing inconsistent basketball. Hope babying Enrique's mild asscheek strain was worth it.

smh

[FkLA]

Yep. He wore out Manu with his in-season vacation.
