Manu hasn't had the chance to play like he did last year.
But I think we'd have perhaps 3 or so more wins.
and did not get hurt how many more wins would the spurs have?
some are saying if duncan has been duncan
well manu is not playing like the allstar he was last year either.

Cut Manu some slack. As for Duncan, he needs to liven up before Kobe replaces him next year.
If Manu was Manu this year, we wouldn't be debating if Tony was an MVP candidate.
Not just for you Chic, but ...Cut Manu some slack. As for Duncan, he needs to liven up before Kobe replaces him next year.
I don't get why Manu is excused for injuries but not Duncan.
ducks, you are re ed....
Exactly Kori.
People feel sorry for poor Manu but when it comes to Timmy people create harsh threads and hate on him. Maybe it's because he is the franchise player or something but I don't get it.
But Manu is the sole reason why our club has been struggling on and off. He is the missing link and I'm sure he knows inside what his duties are to this team. Although I'm not hating on him I'm just saying, get healthy soon Manu, we need ya.
Maybe because Manu's injuries had sidelined him quite a few games while TD is looking really bad playing throw them.Not just for you Chic, but ...

Here, here. I love Manu's game, fire, intensity, etc. But what about TD. He is obviously not right....witness far inferior players getting rebounds that he just has no lift for....but not much is said about it...especially by him. He just does his best and makes no excuses. Not that Manu does...others do it for him.Not just for you Chic, but ...

You're right, Kori. We should be fair and hate them all. (<--- bad joke)Not just for you Chic, but ...

For whatever excuse we want to use, the Spurs should be at least 5 games better than their current 32-10 record. Consider these ones that got away:
Home losses to Chicago and Denver (what?)
Road losses to Atlanta (inexcusable), New Orleans/OK City (inexcusable), and Milwaukee (last second shot by Bogut - Duncan fouls out - where's the "D" Rasho?)
Because of the high level that Detroit is playing at now, there's no way they were going to beat the Pistons at this point.
Therefore, instead of 32-10, I say they should be 37-5. I know that's being greedy.
The spurs have Finley, Barry, Van Exel, Beno. Talk about deep. They don't miss Manu that much. It also gave Parker opportunities to gain confidence in his offensive game.
Not at all, I agree.
Bingo, different injuries. Manu's injuries actually don't let him play at all. On the other hand Tims injury lets him play but badly. That's why spursfans are more mad at Duncan than Manu. unfair but makes sense
regarding the original question. Who cares? all that matters is the championship

Tim is playing injured?
Yes, he's afflicted with a chronic foot injury - Plantar Fasciitis
http://www.webmd.com/hw/foot_problems/hw114460.asp
What is plantar fasciitis?
Plantar fasciitis is the most common cause of heel pain. It occurs when the long, flat ligament on the bottom of the foot (plantar fascia) stretches irregularly and develops small tears that cause the ligament to become inflamed. Plantar fasciitis is a common problem among middle-aged adults and some athletes.

Anybody hating on Tim of Manu is a moron. Those two guys (plus TP) are the reason the Spurs will contend for years to come.
Well that sucks for Tim. Still don't notice him in any pain during the game.
Bad news then... I hope they cant heal as soon as possible... but anyways the Spurs have a great roster and a great team....
Tim at 50% is still a great player....
this year it seems to be jinx
You're joking. None of those players have come close to filling in for him.
joking or stupid, it's really hard to tell.
Tim and Manu both want to play and, as it has been reported in the past, both try to hide their hurts when they can get away with it.
If it has been an ankle sprain, both Timmy and Manu have had to sit because it's difficult to go with those types of injuries. The deep thigh bruises were something Manu tried to hide but it was obvious to everyone he wasn't effective. When it was determined that rest was the best recovery plan for Manu, Pop sat him. It's my understanding that Plantar Faciitis isn't necessarily improved with rest. I may be wrong about that so please correct me if that's not correct. It's also my understanding that surgery doesn't always help it. Heel inserts or heel seats can help in some cases.
I don't think Manu is getting special treatment over Timmy. If anyone acts like they've been seriously injured after getting dinged, it's Tim. It's just the way he deals with it. Once the initial minutes pass, both players will go if they can convince Pop to allow them to play. I think the diagnosis and recovery plan determines what happens from there with Pop.
If only if only if only. Some of you girls would be at home on a Pacers board. The season's half over, for God's sake.
You may not see signs of pain, but he has been beaten to rebounds by inferior players more times this year than in all the years he has played combined.
