Injury Thread: Manu Ginobili injured vs. Wizards

[ducks]

it does not matter manu stats were what they were
I really think pop could get tired of his injuries and trade him
he does not like players getting hurt all the time
the only reason he is still here is because he is manu

[gilmor]

of the players that were/are on the Spurs, perhaps, but if we had traded him in 08 or 09, whoever we obtained probably would have helped get more wins.

there's a reason that this team seems to play so well, so in sync, without manu; and only marginally better with manu, despite manu looking good and putting up good individual numbers.

if we had traded him for someone who complemented Parker and wasn't in-and-out of the lineup all year, Spurs probably have 5, and probably never make that Jefferson trade either

You are not even close to the real truth.

Manu is by far the best player come playoffs, prob 2nd best after Duncan if you compile the stats.

Parker is Parker, he will get his dimes and stats.

But when it's playoffs, it's Manu's time..

Tony vs Mike Conley Jr/Greivis Vazquez
Manu vs Tony Allen/Shane Battier

Do I need to add anything else?

Maybe you could add something insightful, such as: the total lack of presence in the post versus the Gasol-Randolph duo completely negated Parker's main offensive weapon.

[MmP]

Not to take Manu's side but, how can you explain thiis year Tony's success with the same presence in the post?

a) Splitter playing means it's not the "same presence in the post"
b) the Spurs still struggle against teams with 2 decent bigs

what a terrible argument.

Conley was playing like an allstar and Vazquez is one huge guard. Parker had to work on the defensive end. They are both decent defenders so Parker had to work hard on both sides of the court.

Meanwhile Allen is a scrub and all Battier does on offense is stand around. They are great defenders but horrible offensive players. All Manu had to do is play on one side of the court.

By your own words because Allen and Battier don't do much on offense they can save all their energy for defense.

[hater]

being a bad offensive player does not = not doing

[Spurs da champs]

being a bad offensive player does not = not doing

I remember Battier constantly abusing Manu in the post.

Let's see him on the court first

Parker was MVP of the finals so Parker has had some nice playoff series.

[DesignatedT]

What are the odds that Manu "tightens up" again tonight?

sshhh don't tell Manu fan about this. According to manufan Manu was robbed in 2005 Finals

[ElNono]

As long it's just tightening... nothing to worry about, IMO. The problem is when you try to keep playing on that and end up in a muscle tear, etc.

[Josepatches_]

The only thing I hate about Tony is his fanboys. I guess there was nothing to say last 2 years when Manu led the team.


Hope Manu is 100% coming playoff time.That's enough for me.
