Possible Duncan Injury Update

[fordronken]

Kind of a small paper and a small blurb about something so serious, so take it for what you will.

From the baseline

Credible people close to the San Antonio Spurs believe that Tim Duncan's ankle injury is more serious than the team is reporting. Duncan, they say, will be out until next season.

Vecsey picked up something similar this morning (hoopshype has a link). Again, high credibility.

Too bad the people getting the information aren't highly credible...you always have to start at the top of the rumor, if someone who isn't credible says someone else is credible it really doesn't matter does it?

Regardless, I'd love to see the Spurs fall to a three seed. The Sonics would have a very legitimate chance of knocking them off with home court advantage in a seven game series.

That depends on whether your goal is to get the correct story or merely draw attention to yourself. For most journalists, it's the latter.
