Ginobili is back 

Post#1 » by TAI8 » Mon Nov 24, 2008 10:40 pm

I'm surprised this thread hasn't been made yet.

Spurs guard Manu Ginobili will return on Monday night against the Grizzles after missing the first 12 games of the season with an ankle injury.


"I'm going to be out of shape, a little slower," said Ginobili. "But those are things you only get from playing. I feel like it works better for me getting 10 minutes of playing time than (spending) 20 minutes on a treadmill."


Per wiretap

This is nice to hear. I wonder how Ginobili's return will affect Mason's and Hill's good performances thus far.

I hope Pop really takes it slow with Manu. The way Hill and Mason has been playing there is no rush.

I am sure that Manu will get less than 20 mins this coming game.

Itis great to see that our star players are healthy now, and we have weathered the storm. We are .500% :D

12 points in 11 minutes, nicely done Manu.

That new Ginobili kid looks pretty good. He might make a good backup for Mason. :)

I found a youtube clip of him practicing his game. He looks like he is about ready to go to me.
