Yes big break for ginobili and the spurs. Had he nedded surgery it would have maybe spelled doom for the spurs. As long as the big three contuie to play and 1 or 2 guys step up a night the spurs can finsh of the mavs.

if one thing was missing in manu’s awesome career was to wear a mask in a game.
we’ll see how that plays.

Manu will probably be playing for diversion purposes. I would not count on him for more than 10 points (hopefully, a lot of assists). If any of you have not suffered from a broken nose, it feels like you head is stuffed with cotton for about a month. The first week is the worst.
RJ, time to pick it up. We need 15 from RJ and 15 from Hill.

I don’t think that mask is going to bother him in the least. In fact I bet he’s going to have a good game. He came back like 15 minutes after the nose was busted and made clutch plays, for Christ’s sake.

He may decide to be a shooter this game. You know, 5/7 from 3-pt range, couple of mid range jumpers and a trip to the FT line. A smooth 21, 5 & 5 game.

You gotta bring ass to get ass.

Manu is to be fitted with a custom-made “Hannibal the Cannibal” mask. He will have Pony for dinner with a side of fava beans and a nice (Argentine) Chianti.
