08:10 AM ET 11.14 | This can't go on all season for the Spurs, can it? They've already had four games come down to the final seconds, and they've won all four -- an unsustainable rate over the course of a full season. For now, however, things are going their way, and it's happening at less than full strength. ... Not to be an alarmist, but that's yet another injury worry for Manu Ginobili, who was questionable with more back issues. He entered the season raving about how great he felt but has yet to look it -- particularly [Tuesday] night, when he went 1 for 8 and sat for most of the second half. Ginobili is now shooting 40 percent with 2.8 turnovers per game, the worst figures of his career.

He is no spring chicken. Besides all that flopping and falling will catch up to your body sooner or later.

This is a nonsense article. He had back spasms and rested for a little over a week. He cameback and started to get back into rhythm, playing in Sacramentio and last night in LA as well. But he is not yet 100%.

He felt ok prior to the game last night and put in about 18 minutes, w/o any problems.

I really like the way the author of the article hypes this: "Not to be an alarmist, but .."

Good thing is he's still playing so I don't know what this fuss is about. Both young and old players go through a slump. It's all in a long season. For his sake I hope he turns up a great game on Thursday but I also hope my Knicks win. If we start lackadasically like we did lastnight against Orlando fourth quarter will be meaningless.

Looking forward to a great game and I give props to Magic for holding it down three quarters. Manu is a big boy. He'll be fine. These reporters need to cut out the drama.

LOL! True..playing deep into the playoffs every year for SAS and then playing every summer for Argentina has to have taken its toll on him. So many flops..

This is BS. Every year we read stories like this. Then Dude amazingly comes back a playoff time and goes unconscious. I'm not buying it this year. LOL
