He should be starting to save him from injuries.
I re-watched the game last night, looking specifically at Tiago and Manu to try to spot what happened.
As far as Tiago, he got an early entry since DeJuan was benched to gather his thoughts, and right when Blair replaces him the first time in the 1st quarter, you can see him sitting on the bench and start massaging his right calf. He goes in a couple more times but by the last time he has difficulty running and he intentionally fouls Griffin to come out.
For Manu, at about 3:45 in the 3rd quarter (and well before the Kmart screen), you can see him swing a ball towards either Bonner or Neal on the perimeter, and get the ball back, but the ball is intercepted and goes out of bounds. From that play onwards, you can see Manu reaching for the oblique. He tried to play through it for a while, but I guess the pain just got worse.
He should be starting to save him from injuries.
Obviously Tiagos body wasn't ready to get on the court that early in the game ... it makes absolutely no sense but interestingly enough he injured himself in a situation he normally does not face ...
Eric Dawson signing made official by Marc Spears. Is he joining the team tonight in Utah?
Sitting on the bench for a couple minutes longer would have helped his body to be more prepared?
It could be possible that it's just a nagging injury.
Per Parker, Ginobili MRI results are good and his injury isn't a big deal.
I don't see why not. He was in LA before the call up.
Thanks for the news, Bruno.
Sorry, Bruno, but gotta have more of a specific source than "Per Parker", especially so soon after the MRI was done.
, Whataburger?
so the theme of this thread is "Not Sure if Serious"
I think Pop was irate when he let Griffin basically back him up all the way down to the basket in one of the first Clippers possessions.
Probably right. I was just laughing at how you worded that Dejuan was just "gathering his thoughts".
Tony Parker saying on the radio that they got the news after Manu's IRM that the injury wasn't too serious sounds like a damn solid source.
Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA
Manu Ginobili (oblique strain) and Tiago Splitter (calf strain) both expected to miss two weeks, Spurs say.
Thanks for the update.
Sounds like a good source, Bruno. Do you have a link to Tony's radio interview, even if it's in French.
am i the only one that believes the Tiago loss is BIGGER for us than Manu? they're both gonna miss a lot of big games unfortunately: Nugs z2, Blazers, Bulls, Knicks, and Clippers
Yeah it's on mysa.com that they are both expected out 2 weeks.
Thanks for the update. Not bad at all. Especially with the all star break eating up some of the time.
If two weeks, they'll miss the rest of the RRT and the first two games after the All-Star break. Could have been worse.
I was hoping for better news regarding Splitter but this is far from the worst case scenario.
Two weeks of Blair and Bonner getting huge minutes. My God.
2 weeks, 5 games isn't terrible but was hoping Tiago would only miss 2 max. We survived Manu's injury due to a combination of Parker's brilliance, Tiago's emergence, and good all around play from the rest of the team. Can we actually survive both Manu AND Tiago gone? I doubt it but 5 games shouldn't break our backs.

That's not a radio interview. Parker host a weekly 1 hour radio show where he talks about Spurs and has some guests. That's a good source of news regarding Spurs but it's in French.
There are podcasts of these shows:
