Yeah, you could really tell he was hurting out there. He didn't look anywhere near healthy.
A lot of people claimed Manu would be good to go this season after a summer off to rest and would ready to play big minutes. That lasted all of zero (0) games.
Manu wasn't Manu last night. He couldn't jump, as he admitted after the game. My question is why play him if he's not 100%? With how deep this team is, Manu should be given the next couple weeks off to let his bruised thigh heal.
Playing a 90% Manu makes no sense in this situation. Let him heal and then come back and average his 25-28 minutes for the regular season.
Then unleash the beast in the playoffs.

That's the real value of Finley. If he can develop into a crunch time player, well, that's icing on the amnesty clause cake.
Bench him now.
We can sign him for less in 2010.
I think the Spurs should put him in a glass case and label it "break in case of playoffs".
Seriously, the dude had a bruise, and he wasn't going to make it worse by playing. He's got three days to rest before the next game. Why sit him out of a season opener at home on ring night against a team everybody hates that they won anyway?

Yep, he could still get to the rim, just no elevation. Still I think you want him on the floor in the 4th, IF the game is in doubt. Otherwise, let Barry play and Manu heal. I agree.
It's a bruised quadriceps so he will be 100% very soon. (maybe in two days for the next game)
I'm going to pull my hair out already!!!
Manu's tired, he's hurt, oh my god, his thigh hurts.
Suck it up and play basketball already!!!
Manu's not saying this , we are.

lol Good one Chump

Easily the stupidest thing youve ever posted.
Manu has nothing to prove, unless he is trying to show off that hair style. Let him rest I say!
It's just a bruise, so no. Some PT probably does him more good than rest.
A sprain or sore knee? That's a different story.
He missed games with the same injury last season. He was limited in game three of the Finals with the same injury.
Have Spurs fans forgotten already?
Listen to the post game audio. Manu said he had no elevation. He said it hurt. Pop said Manu is about 85%.
Why play him?
It wasn't the same injury, it was a similar injury. He didn't have the same bruise for four months. You are being overly dramatic.
We can't because the Suns will steal him
timvp wasn't saying that it was the same bruise
Woah.
That's a little overboard there.
Comprehension.
It is game one (1), after all.
How about no! =)
I'm sorry. Then please explain what this means:

It sounds to me like he's worried that Manu is still going to be feeling the effects of this bruise in June, which is lamer than he thinks Manu is.
pop should sit manu because manu is such a compe or he will always say that he is good to go....
He was answering ChumpDumper who said that a bruise isn't worth missing games over because it's not a sprain, etc. Timvp was just pointing out that he missed games last season for a bruise as well.
I'm sure they'll get a chance to see how he does in practice and make the call.
