That could mean a rough start of the season for the Spurs. However, this is a season that ends in an odd number and considering the Spurs luck, Ime Udoka will end up becoming a 16 PPG player for them.
The Spurs simply aren't the same team without Ginobili at full strength. Without him on the court slashing and breaking down defenses, the Spurs become predictable on the offensive end. I don't think a player ever returns the same way after getting surgery and at Gino's age, the odds go up on having a setback during rehab. In addition you know Pop is seething at this because he was against Gino playing in the Olympics to begin with.
