Ginobili" "Today, the first dunk in 5 months!! "

[PDXSpursFan]

Today, the first dunk in 5 months!! It felt so goooood! Starting to get better. Can't wait. /// Hoy hice la primera volcada en 5 meses!! Qué buen momento! Estoy empezando a sentirme mejor, de a poco va queriendo!! Todos con Argentina contra México a las 19.30hs!

Good to hear. He doesn't have to play a single preseason game if you are asking me...as long as he is ready to go by the end of Oct.

[ducks]

was the rim 12 feet tall?

[Bigzax]

does Tony have a dunk in the last 5 months?

[ducks]

he dunked his wife

[raspsa]

Didn't know Manu liked his doughnuts dipped in coffee...

[sonic21]

good, i'm hoping he'll only play 20-25 min/game until the ASG.

just now "starting to get better" ?

No, no, this is okay. We just need everyone to avoid injuries, even if they have to start the season hobbling around. Glad to hear Manu's progressing nicely.

[angelbelow]

What!?!?! Thats not taking it easy!

[23LeBronJames23]

was it a 5 ft rim dunk?

[loveforthegame]

Good to hear. He doesn't need to be tearing it up right now but to just stay healthy.

As Summers said, we don't really need Manu to come back ASAP. He just needs to keep on nursing that injury, take it as slow as possible which he seems like he's been doing. He's got 82 games to get back into his rhythm

The addition of RJ and Mcdyess alone will make us A LOT better than last year even when Manu was healthy. I didn't factor in Blair because he's yet to play an NBA game while Dice and RJ have proven they can explode any night.

I'm not sure I can agree with this take. Did you guys notice when Manu came back from injury last year and Mason had trouble getting used to him on the court? Mason admitted as much in interviews...

I think the smart bet is to get everyone we'll be needing come playoff time comforatble playing together during the RS. That is the only sure way to avoid misques and mishaps when it counts.

Great

He'll make his first 3 pointer in 10 months

Really, you'd think he'd have flushed a few by now.......

I misread the thread le at first. Thought it read- Ginobili: "The first drunk in five months!"

[TMTTRIO]

Here's a little more about his recuperation (of course it's in Spanish). It sounds like he's playing for half an hour a day now .

Acá, mientras tanto, voy dando cada uno de los pasos de la recuperación. Por suerte, jugando media hora por día de básquetbol, pero sin oposición por precaución. Puedo tirar al aro de nuevo y es más divertido que sólo hacer el trabajo de fuerza y pesas. La pretemporada oficial arranca el 29 de septiembre, para esa fecha llegaré mucho mejor y estoy haciendo todo con muchas ganas para empezar en condiciones normales la temporada.
