time to start manu

[ducks]

this is the playoffs. spurs can not afford to lose the next game. manu needs play 35 minutes next game atleast. he played more before. barry is useless. when he is not shooting they do not need to guard barry. With barry and bowen out there they can concetrate on guarding tp and duncan only. bowen can only hit the big three.

[orhe]

it's not about starting manu or playing 35 minutes
he'll get his minutes
what the spurs need to do is change their offense. not the substitution patterns.
what's the point in starting a guy/benching one when you'll run the same plays which doesn't seem to work over and over again

tony and manu didn't drive enough last night...

[Ginofan]

Put Devin in place of Barry!

[spur219]

Start Manu now! We need his fire power from the get go.

[boutons]

"tony and manu didn't drive enough last night..."

Was the paint that clogged, or did the Sonics rough play and tough talk scare them into not driving? Whatever, without their driving, Spurs lost the paint 32 - 40.

[orhe]

well about that 40 point sonics shit
man did our perimeter defense sucked!
hehe
i still think its spurs in 6

I said this prior to series.

Manu needs to start.

We need to put the hammer down.

We need to make Ray play defense.

AD starting makes in hard on us, because Barry can not guard AD or Luke or Ray.

Manu can guard all of the above.

Ray would have to guard Manu and that means that he will not have his legs in the 4th Q.

Brown needs more mins, as he is more athletic and can make them work on D also.

Allen 32 - Bowen 2 - Manu 15

What can the team made with that?

We need Manu as starter, and 20 points

And we need more than 19 points of the starters, not including TD

Yesterday

Spurs
TD: 35 POints
Bench: 35 Points
Starters: 19 Points

Sonics:
Allen: 32 Points
Starters: 47
Bench: 22

[waly.mg]

Put Devin in place of Barry!

Or Sean Elliot

Elliot now, can score more than 2 points

Or David Robinson, Nazr 2 - Rasho 0

barry is fine. need more intensity from him and tp both.
barry needs to drive to the rack a time or two as well.

manu off the bench is what will bring home the rings. patience.

[ducks]

ad and luke can not go off
