Manu injured

[TampaDude]

Sit his ass until april 19. The Spurs have already clinched. Make the other players on the team learn to cope without Manu for a few games. If they slip in the seedings so be it. This could be a blessing in disguise. Lets hope so anyway. All thats left now is hope it seems.

If you are a glass half full type of person, to look at this in a good light you can think:

1) After playing a lot more minutes than past years and carrying a larger than usual share, it's good for Manu to get some rest before the playoffs.

2) If Barry comes back before the end of the regular season, this will allow him to get minutes.

3) It'll force Duncan and Parker to up their level of play before the playoffs.

Of course, this is assuming that the injury is relatively minor and shouldn't affect him after some rest.

And if you're a half empty :

1) After playing a lot more minutes than past years and carrying a larger than usual share, Manu got injured just before the playoffs.

2) If Barry doesn't come back before the end of the regular season, this won't even allow him to get minutes.

3) It'll force Duncan and Parker to up their level of play before the playoffs and lose some fuel.

that is why pop was a fool playing manu over 30 minutes a game
and why manu should never start

This is exactly the reason why Manu should not start. Because he pulled a muscle.

ducks, you are a ing tool. A ing re ed tool.

[Lebowski Brickowski]

Coincidentally, I have this Manu figurine that I was rubbing as part of a ritual at one point either before or during the game. I'd like to think the injury was just a coincidence.

Were you rubbing his groin?

You're an idiot. If Manu never played over 30 mins and never started, even during the two months Tony was either out or not himself, this team would have about 10 more losses and be out of the playoffs altogether. It is extremely convenient for you now, when Ginobili is struggling, to forget how well he has played the majority of the season and how he basically carried the team.

For January and February Tony was either out or ineffective.

[roycrikside]

This could work out in our favor. We could slip to four or five, play the Rox in round one and get an inexperienced Hornets team in Round 2. Might only have to face one out of three between Suns/Lakers/Mavs/Jazz.

If LA could get 2, Phoenix or Utah at 3 and Dallas at 6 or 7, it'd be great. I'd much rather be in the 1-8 4-5 side of the bracket than the 2-7 3-6 side.

Plus it could keep our pattern going. Every championship we win, we start off as a lower seed than the one before.

# 1 in '03, #2 in '05, #3 in '07. We tried to win as a #1 in '04 and '06 and it didn't work out.

Nice.

[Supergirl]

I think they should bench him and give him lots of treatment until the playoffs, when you know Pop couldn't keep him off the court if he tried.

The WC playoffs are pretty much a toss up at this point - HCA means very little, and who you get paired up against means even less. A healthy Spurs roster, however, is our best chance for success.

you are more likely to pull a muscle when you are tired
he has played more then he should and this is what happens
timvp and others warned people manu was playing to many minutes but only ducks gets bashed for it

Also if you flop around so much you are bound to injure yourself.

Every time there is a thread about Manu and ducks post on it, the thread gets derailed into either a Tony vs manu thread or a Manu bashing thread.

Put him on your ignore list.

Ignore is for pussies.

Furthermore, aside from his Manu bashing (and the fact he wants to shoot illegal immigrants), ducks is a funny poster.

[DAF86]

Yes it is
