This French team is cursed. First Tony, then Batum, now Ian. At least none of them have been serious injuries thus far.

Ugh. Something is always wrong with this kid.

10 bucks says the Spurs Front office has already phoned him numerous times threatening to break his kneecaps if he plays this next game…

This headline made me sick to my stomach for a sec. Then I read it was just a hamstring and that helped a little. Ian is like an injury waiting to happen.

If “The One” can play without ACL’s than Yawn should be able to run without hamstrings. It’s only one… right?

I almost made a joke along these same lines yesterday.

So glad you’re back from your vaca, bella.

I feel somewhat vindicated….

Booooooo!!!

We specialize in misinformation around here. Facts and stats just get in the way.

Ha. Just don’t put all your eggs in Ian’s basket because he will drop it while accidentally picking up his tenth foul as he pulls his hammy. But in all seriousness, do we know the extent of his injury yet? The fact that there is not much press about it makes me think it must not be too bad.

Now that’s funny. If Ian only commits one foul per minute, then he should be able to put in 5+ minutes per game!

@All,

Mahinmi was hit hard in midair and took a bad fall. Very little he could have done about it. The truth is I’m surprised that he’ll be playing so quickly after the tumble. But during today’s France telecast (victory, btw), it was reported that Mahinmi could be available for the next game. And, in his defense, the injury that kept him out last year was kind of freakish. I can see why everyone is so skittish, but I’m not sure this is not just a weird series of incidents more so than a commentary on Ian’s body. I’m still cautiously optimistic.

Thanks for allowing us to breathe a little easier.

However, consider this:

Monta Ellis on the moped accident: That was a freakish thing that happened.
Yao Ming at the start of last season: Why is everyone so skittish about my foot?
Stephon Marbury on his life: This is just a weird series of incidents.
Shaq on gaining 50 lbs in between home games: Don’t make it into a commentary on my body.
Mark Cuban on their ‘10 championship hopes: I’m still cautiously optimistic.

Ha!

Dunno why I made those up. Perhaps my glass is always half full. I love me Schopenhauer!

Wouldn’t that Schopenhauer reference work better if you were a glass-half-empty guy?

Yes, he screwed up at the end I think. He more than made it up with the rest!
