    I didn’t see the press release that there was no risk of re-injuring the ankle.

    Which is why I said "if theres no risk..."

    Your reading comprehension is better than that.

    They wouldn’t let dame play if it was more serious or they were concerned. As opposed to the days of b Roy and oden, these days the team seems way more cautious about injuries

    Sure unless they lose and Utah wins. Then it will probably be the Denver game. Unless they lose that also and Utah wins again so then it will be the Utah game right?

    Things get a little lost in print. It's not reading comprehension. You actually said "WHY if there is no risk ..." So really that is a stretch and he has a valid opinion here. Which i happen to agree with by the way. There have been no reports about re injury soreness and if there is any chance at all this game is totally meaningless if he ends up hurt again. Why even chance it?

    The recent spurs games I’ve watched had Murray, Parker, Mills, and Forbes all in their rotation. Ginobili, Green, Kyle, and Gay on the wings. The only bigs in their rotation were Aldridge and Gasol. If that holds, we don’t really need either Leonard or Biggie tonight. Could have Collins at center, meaning a rotation spot opens up for Baldwin.

    Watching them play against the LA teams really made me feel good about this one - they just don't have the firepower to beat us IF we could rediscover our outside shooting touch.

    Well, do you know the Spurs plays well at home? 9 win streak. Their problems are road games

    Only thing that worries me is their 31-8 home record.

    Blazers are the better team. They need to bring a workman like performance, and play loose. The Spurs get the most out of their sitch with Leonard out, and Pop plays chess with the best, but I believe the Blazers will bring a clutch performance out tonight. Go Blazers!!

    Blazers are a better team when healthy. With No Moe or Ed, Blazers are just average team

    Agreed. Barely a playoff team without Ed.

    Not completely true. Australian Footballer Robert Harvey was so desperate to alleviate the pain of his seemingly never healing plantar fascia, that he jumped off of a table causing it to rupture completely. Years late another Australian Footballer Josh Kennedy, inspired by the story of Harvey, got his team doctor to numb his foot with pain killers, and repeatedly ran sprints causing his plantar fascia to rupture. In both cases the players had instant relief, and were able to play pain free. That said, every doctor ever asked to comment on either case has said that it's a bad idea to try to deliberately rupture your plantar fascia.
