Manu Injury Thread

[Creation88]

again...Hinrich had a helbow and he missed 4 games (1 week).

[InRareForm]

Hedo Turkolu played through a hyperextended elbow this year.

[Mugen]

Which is it?

Health supersedes everything.

When you are in the fortunate position to be healthy and have HC throughout the West, you don't risk it all in a meaningless game that you probably won't win even if you play the starters 15-20 minutes.

What's hard to understand about that?

[ElNono]

Yeah he could play in a week or so, but how effective would he be with that brace on? Last year when he broke his nose he was basically done! He played but not effective. This is the worst time for this to happen, last game of the year. I wish it happened weeks go.

Excuses. We got beat by a better team because we played no defense and had no bench. Matty sucked, RJ sucked, Hill sucked, and Manu was simply gassed...

Again, Manu "played through" a broken nose in the playoffs last year...but not well.

[007nites]

Karma's a . I remember last night a lot of you guys were cheering when Bynum got injured.

[mexicanjunior]

Manu was simply gassed...

Broken nose will do that to you...

[MannyIsGod]

So there's a 50/50 chance that you're a ing idiot.

You really love those coin toss situations.

There's a 0% chance of me being an idiot. There's a 100% chance that a poster I consider smart disagreed with me. There's also a 100% chance that the word smart will never be directly associated with you.

[Fpoonsie]

...and Manu was simply gassed...

'Cause he couldn't breathe...'cause of the nose thing...

I feel like we've been over this.

The rest of your list, though...yeah, they sucked.

[ElNono]

Manu had no broken nose when he was shooting like from mid-december to mid-february this season... slumps happen, and some other people need to pick up the slack...

[DMC]

What I posted since it was my opinion...can't speak for anyone else...Which is it is for you to decide...

But you are both arguing for the same outcome and obviously assigning an arbitrary value to home court advantage. Mugen says nothing is worth it, and you say health is secondary to HCA. That makes it arbitrary if you are both "right".

If you were both arguing an obvious point, well, it would be obvious. You are arguing two completely different things.

You're discounting "smart ass".

[ElNono]

Lakers don't win if Fisher doesn't make some super-human plays in the 2nd round last playoffs... Or Artest doesn't make a shot... That's why depth matters... and why I'm going to be looking at Hill a whole lot these playoffs... can't have that passive .

[Fpoonsie]

Still, would be nice to not have any extra cause for concern...

[100%duncan]

what the happened

interesting....

Denial is the only thing that will help you accept that Pop wasn't being a ing idiot tonight so at least you're getting there.

I'm not arguing with Mugen, we both agreed that the starters should not have played tonight...his agenda for it had nothing to do with mine but the end was still the same...avoid injury and be healthy come Game 1.

[Fpoonsie]

Agreed. Hill has to play balls-out both at home AND away for the Spurs to have a shot.

The term "X-factor" is often overused, but...

[MannyIsGod]

You're discounting "smart ass".

You have to be witty to be a smart ass. Mugen has proven quite well that he is a dumb ass to the core.

[Spurs Brazil]

Did Sean bring some news?

[urunobili]

Hedo Turkolu played through a hyperextended elbow this year.

and he sucked...

[ZB 512]

Denial is the only thing that will help you accept that Pop wasn't being a ing idiot tonight so at least you're getting there.

if he's going to play the big 3 tonight, then why not play them last night

if he's going to sit them last night, then why not sit them tonight

takes quite a bit of nuance to understand the reasoning

[MannyIsGod]

Thanks for providing the proof my last point needed.

[024]

as long as the injury doesn't take 2+ weeks to heal, it should be fine. hill or neal can man the shooting guard spot. ginobili also will get an extended rest and not have to face the excellent defenders in tony allen and battier. the spurs should not rush him back even if it means losing a game or two to the grizzlies. ginobili is very fragile in the playoffs.
