Manu is an assassin

[nkdlunch]

Out of the great players in NBA, only a handful have this insctinct. They are not satisfied w/just beating you, they want to stomp on you, bury you alive and embarrass you. The greatest at this was probably Jordan.

Almost everything has been said about Manu. One thing I haven't heard is how much of a cold blodded killer he is. He just wanted to finish off the Suns right then and there. Send them home w/nothing, not even the honor of a single win in this series. At the end of the game, he was even fighting Amare for loose balls. Too bad his teammates and even his coach didn't have that killer instinct in them, w/the exception of maybe Bowen and Horry. Manu was the only one who looked really pissed off at the end, while the other teammates had a helpless/pathetic look. They need to show no mercy next game.

Well, the Spurs did look lethargic last night, with the exception of Manu and Horry. As much as Duncan sucked (especially at the line) last night, you have to look at why the Suns can throw those hard double teams at Duncan, it's because Parker was left wide open the whole third quarter and couldn't throw the ball in the ocean! If Parker actually made 2 or 3 of those jumpers, keep the Suns "defense" honest, the Spurs would have won the game quite handily.

Man, there were so many "what-ifs" yesterday, I wouldn't blame Parker, Tim or Pop for the loss. It was a good game, the Suns played their guts out, and pulled off a win.

Makes tomorrow very interesting. Will Spurs recover, or choke again?

The Argentinian Assassin.

Seriously, the guy is the next huge superstar in this league, providing that the Spurs do make it to the NBA Finals where they can showcase his talents even more.

Manu should have played every minute last night, I gurantee you if he did we would have closed it out last night. He either scores or he shoots free throws, hes saved our ass more than once this playoffs and would have done it again last night, they guy doesnt know how to do anything but win, but he cant do anything from the bench pop!

I agree. Too bad the coach kept him on the bench so long.

?? Who WOULD you blame?? I mean, I know everybody has bad games, noone is disputing that, but yesterday was one of those games for Parker and Tim, and it was because of THAT that we lost, no way around it. The Suns played they way they have been playing this whole series, except maybe for game 3, the difference in game 4 was Parker's horrible shooting and Tims amazing inability to make those fts. Really, 15/15 on one night and then 3/12??? He must be ill or something.
