Boris Diaw Out for 2-3 Weeks (Edit: surgery, out 3-4 weeks) (Update: Sunday return?)

We will sweep without Diaw tbh. He'll be back to school Bogut.

Pop said Boris went through full practice, should be available to start the next round. Tiago "is going to take a little bit longer."

It will be good to have Diaw back but a little bothered by Splitter taking a little longer statement.

Yeah, that part there didn't sound too good. I thought it was 7 days or so? Well he got hurt Friday so it should be this friday you would think? I guess not if it started Friday or Saturday.

Splitter SMH

A little bit longer could mean he's not currently game-ready like Diaw. He'll prolly be good to go if Game 1 ends up being Sunday.

Good news about Diaw. Pretty dissapointed about the Splitter news. He better be ready by Game 1 or Game 2 at the latest. Nut up , it's the playoffs!

[Darius McCrary]

Can we reasonably expect Diaw to be decent after his procedure?

[benefactor]

Tiago always takes forever to come back from injuries...so this shouldn't surprise anyone.

This. And even when he's back in the lineup, he always seems to take awhile to get his rhythm. We'll need him eventually though...

As long as he stops thinking he can hit 3's.

You mean the 3's that he made 38.5% (30-78) of this year?

I don't think there is any reason to read too much into the comments about Tiago. He's only 4 days into his 7-10 day prognosis, so of course Pop is going to say he is not ready yet.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Yep, those are the ones! We have plenty of higher percentage options shooting the 3. Diaw throws off the rhythm of our offense shooting them; I'd prefer for him to be more of a facilitator, rather than a chunker.

[moisaenz]

I think Diaw needs to shoot more, his extra passing sometimes leads to turnovers or to someone shooting from the wrong spots because we was suppose to shoot in the first place.

[jhfenton]

If Diaw's open for a 3 in rhythm, he needs to take it. If he's open at the 3-pt line, it's by design. It's passing up that shot that throws off the offense.

[spurraider21]

Did somebody actually refer to Diaw as a chucker?

if the defense completely disrespects him, and he finds himself wide open with the ball beyond the arc, he should let it fly. Or if there is a nearby defender use the pump, drive, spin that he's used successfully

I believe he referred to him as a chunker, actually.
