    2003 Mavs vs. Spurs Don Nelson benches Dirk over the prospect of playing him with a bum ankle because he had a long career left. He ain't coming back 100% and they warriors will probably just try and take him out again anyway. Losing to those assholes sucks but it ain't worth Kawhi's future.

    That and also the narrative that Warriors never beat a healthy Spurs team. Win-win for the Spurs.

    Dirk injured his knee. That's a whole different beast.

    These are minor sprains. If it was like a Grade 3 or something then sure. He'll be 100% for Game 3. If he tweaks it again though then probably throw in the towel.

    I bet you'll regret not going 100% once you are watching Durbeta and LeFlop battling for the finals and were sucking our thumbs

    besides, ankles arent long term issues like knees

    After seeing how these kind of injuries significantly shortened the careers of Penny Hardaway and Grant Hill I agree. If that ankle is that weak it's not worth playing him and risking it further. They may end up RG3ing Kawhi.

    Game 3 is saturday. If they can give another good fight, maybe sneak a win, Kawhi could be back then and give a shot at these guys.

    You can't compare broken ankles to a minor sprain, bro.

    It can't be that minor if he keeps tweaking it and he didn't come back to a very winnable game.

    Looked like a combination of bad luck and dirty play. He's not tweaking it on his own, just unfortunately stepping/landing on others.

    Minor injuries can take you out for a game or two imo.

    no. the future. Using your Mavs analogy, Dirk didn't win a damn thing for 8 more years. Most of us including me will be dead by then.

    Got to win now.

    I wonder if Zaza would have the audacity to do it again, tbh

    He probably will..wearing that Warriors jersey is like being a made man..

    If Kawhi is back for game 3 and Iggy is in fact hurt, this could be significant

    There's a part of me that kind of agrees with this. Don't even give them the satisfaction of beating the Spurs at 80%. Would love to see Pop troll the NBA and play all 3rd stringers the rest of the way out. If the NBA is going to get their ultimate matchup anyway, why give them tbe satisfaction of good ratings to go along with it?

    If not him, Green might. They have multiple options tbh.
