Neal not on flight to OKC

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

I drove from Eugene to Portland with an ear infection and pneumonia just to watch the Spurs play! Granted, I wish I didn't cause that was my first NBA game ever and what I wanted to see more than anything else was Duncan play, and Pop rested the big three and the Spurs, or should I say Toros, lost by 40 to the Blazers. However, I highly doubt this is just a case of Neal "not feeling well", something is going on here. Man, ever since Timmy started declining after 2007, this has turned into a regular season team.

Im gonna act like I wasn't concerned and laugh at all yall.....now that I know the real story.

[Capt Bringdown]

Explosive diarrhea ain't nothin' to fool around with folks!

[crc21209]

Glad he's OK and will rejoin the team. We need all the fearless guys we can get tomorrow. I know the Big 3, Jack, Kawhi, and Neal arent scared and will bring it. I'm not sure about guys like Green, Bonner, Splitter, etc.....

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Good to hear.

[Spur|n|Austin]

I follow his wife on Twitter. She was sick for awhile, probably caught the bug from her.

I thought Neal shot the ball like his ass was puckered. Now we know why.

[Danny.Zhu]

and Bonner and Green made the flight

If he was already sick, why didn't pop go to matty....

[ploto]

If he was too sick to fly this afternoon, then how is well enough 3 hours later to know he can fly tomorrow?

[DesignatedT]

Probably just didn't want him potentially getting the rest of the team sick on the plane so they flew him on a different one.

Let's hope Patty Mills comes out and fills the bucket like we've seen him do few times in the reg season, even some good inbound steals.

No MISTAKES

[SA210]

Let me guess how it all went down. (In Pop's office)

Pop: "Gary, you suck balls as a point guard. You're the worst backup point guard I've ever seen."
Gary: "I'm not a point guard; I'm a shooting guard."
Pop: "Gary, you're not feeling well."

Maybe he might infect the team

Maybe that's why he had no lift on his jumper last night

Neal didn't make any shots but perhaps he was able to cough on Durant, Westbrook, and Harden.

[T Park]

Good to see he's rejoining the team.

[BlackSwordsMan]

who the is patty mills

[Dr. John R. Brinkley]

Sounds like classic CIA Pop: make the other team think Neal is infected so no one guards him as close so he can get off his jumpshot.

That was a joke...

[cherylsteele]

so does this mean Patty Mills time?

I personally hope so, my gut feeling from what I have seen in limited minutes from him he could be the x factor we need.

maybe if he was 6 inches taller

[Salty]

Game 6 will be Neal's flu game

[cherylsteele]

maybe if he was 6 inches taller

What does height have to do with it?
In many ways our biggest problem is the backup PG, when Neal comes in off the bench, the offense goes stagnant and the Spurs' momentum has died. I think Mills has shown the ability to keep the pressure on the defense when given a chance.

mills is short, with a short wingspan (for a nba player). it would be hard for him to get the passes around the tall lanky defenders of okc.
