Tony Parker out a month

[retrohelix]

Thought? What does this mean to the Spurs title hopes?

Unless that month is April, nothing.

All they have to do is not get the 8th seed. It shouldn't be overly difficult.

What do you mean unless it is April it doesn't matter. It is nowhere as simple as you are making it out to be. If they drop enough games during this no Manu/TP era they might not be able to recover at all

Re: Tony Parker out a month

Yeah...the West is tough, pretty sure GSW didn't make the Playoffs last year by 1 game, and the Mavs were like 6 games from first and the Jazz were about 2 games from being first, correct me if i'm wrong though.

Actually they may be in a Rockets type situation, I remember last year we were going into Jan and out of the playoffs. At the pace we were winning it wasn't looking too good, then we pulled off 22 straight.

I mean they are going to lose their games with Parker and Manu out, all they can really do is beat the lower teams...which isn't going to be easy...and wait for their guys to come back...

But as JVG said...by the time they both are back the Spurs could be out of it, or at least be in a really deep hole.

Wait and see. If the Spurs lose, I will buy you a moderately priced prostitute.

Um, if Manu wasn't out for so long then I wouldn't be worried. But both TP and Manu out for a long time? Could the Spurs miss out on the postseason?? TD's been playing pretty damn good, but that supporting cast is more than suspect. Farmer, rookie point guard, Mason, Finley, Bowen, Oberto? Yuck.

I agree.

Have you guys checked out exactly who Duncan has to work with?? It's not really as simple as, well as long as they make the playoffs. The west is still the west.

Sure, Timmy's playing good ball.. but without those two in the lineup, I can see the Spurs falling out of the picture for awhile.

That's exactly what I'm thinkin.

It's like people haven't watched them play this year.. they've looked sorta "bad" even with TP in the lineup. Shows how vulnerable they are without Manu, and how valuable Manu is.

Re: Tony Parker out a month

I really don't see how yall can just say it doesn't matter because it isn't April. They might NOT RECOVER. What makes any one of you think that once Manu and TP get back the Spurs will get that thing rolling again. It will take time. They would probably ALREADY NOT be one of the top 10 teams when they get them back. So again yall that are making it to be so simple I really don't see why

Re: Tony Parker out a month

First off, this sucks for me, cuz I chose the Spurs online. Boo.

Secondly, I think no one is alarmed because the Spurs have had injuries before, and never had any trouble making the playoffs. When they play the Grizzlies and the Oklahomas 4 times each, they'll most likely have enough wins to rally for a 7-4 seed by the end of the season. Nothing is guaranteed, but they are a great defensive squad who are well coached. Also, they'll probably pick someone up, have a young player step up and surprise some people.

As a Spurs fan, im not feeling the LEAST bit confident we can recover right now.....

I think we have one of the best coaches in the game but we NEED that nucleus
