Completely agree. They obviously knew they were testing the leg. maybe it was CIA Pop after all. It's hard for me to believe that the medical staff had no idea this could happen if they played him too soon.
Yeah, it's actually better than Carmelo's, Joe Johnson's and Danny Grainger's and about the same as Paul Pierce's FG% (.455). He's a wing player. Oh well.
It's like he looks this s*** up before he posts it just to set himself up...

I'm pretty sure that he would have had to be signed by March 1st....
. What a ed up bit of news to wake up to. Get through it Manu
The only positive I can think of in my own mind is that it removes what was probably false hope the Spurs could win. I can now watch the playoffs without expectation, therefore the dissapointment won't be as devastating as usual. Still, it sucks watching knowing that the boys can't go all the way. Weird feeling as a Spur fan
But, I guess this season hasn't felt right from the very start. An NBA championship is won partly due to injury luck and this season, nothing has gone right for the Spurs.
Hopefully the Spurs can provide us with a memorable first round effort. The greatest PF of all time playing hurt, a prime All-Star PG and a ragtag group of young guys, old guys and guys nobody wanted, playing free without expectation.
Let's go Spurs.
They needed to play him before the POs !
timvp made a good post on that, I think he is right, Pop has coached the team in function of this eventuality !!

I'm sick of delusional fans criticizing realistic fans.
Dear "delusionals",
We all love the Spurs, but instead of sounding like foolishly optimistic twits, most of us are making the conscious choice of keepin' it real.
"... take your negitive else where"
Sorry about Manu, Spurs fans. I know ya'll are tired of dealing with the whole thing. Hang in there. Maybe shutting him down for the next 6 months will give the ankle time to actually heal. Tough break.
I think you can sign a player who hasn't played for any other NBA team in the current season up until the day before the playoffs start.
horry is not the answer
hey ogee i since anger ya need to work on that
Props to all the Fans from the other teams showing support... thanks this is a tough one for us all
he has alot of rings bro and experince you cant put a price on that bro
Two things would not completely surprise me:
That Manu may never play again (or may never play even close to the way he did before).
That Manu may be back for the second round.
so does dennis rodman, let's bring him back. i bet he's in better shape than horry
Seriously, all you people talking about Manu are pieces of ungrateful . You dog on the guy for honoring his country by choosing to play the sport he loves on the WORLD stage, and now you come in here and say "I told you so!" after he gets hurt! Yeah, we get it, maybe not the best choice to play at the Olympics with a bad ankle, but come on, show a little respect. He has been such a HUGE part of our success it's not even funny. A season ending injury and youre calling for him to walk the plank...pathetic. Ill bet it WONT take 12-18 months for him to be healthy again, and ill BELIEVE that he will still give us a few productive years even after this injury. Go ahead and jump the Spurs ship now, but ill follow it AND Manu till the ends of the earth.....GO...SPURS...GO!
rodman he is no leader he is a crack head crab infested dude should i say more
Awesome sig, Russ!
Tar Heels are blowing out Spartans, but I`m very sad, because of Manu.
That`s ed up...
1st round KO!

My hope for the POs now is that Pop has Ian and Hairston on the roster, so if they are ever up 2 games in any series, play the rooks.
Since the active rotation is now:
TP/Hill/JV
Mason/Ime
Finley/Bowen
Tim/Gooden
Bonner/KT/Fab
Why not put in Ian and Hairston for Fab and Ime or JV(2 of them won't be back) and just let them play? I'm not saying give up, but old vets + The Big 2 won't work, maybe heavy minutes from Hairston, Hill, and Gooden would do something.
I can't hekp but wonder if those who appeared to be more cautious at the time turned out to be the more correct ones. I also wonder if anyone has ever said that his injury to his left ankle and that surgery in any way contributed to the injury in his right leg- like coming back too soon, favoring one leg...No it wasn't a fracture at first. It was a stress reaction that healed enough to be cleared by doctors to play. But obviously, it wasn't time yet
Cool he'll be healthy to play for argentna this summer but not for the trleam he earns his living. Wouldn't shock me a bit.
Bitter much? And FWIW, there are no Olympics or World Championships this summer... so you can sleep easy.
