Manu saves the day again...

[ElNono]

Even when he struggles, like tonight, he still comes up big when you need him to. That 3 pointer to finally tie the game and send it to overtime was amazing. Then the defense in OT... :wow

What a guy.

[spectator]

the bait has been set ... expecting trolls in 3 2 1 ...

[Yuixafun]

I was just looking at the box scores... and man did he have a funky stat line!!!

And Danny Green goes scoreless?

[HI-FI]

I trust those gypsy hands to make a steal or shoot a ball in crunch time, regardless of how bad he's been playing.

[hater]

Bonner, Mills, Neal bail out the old argentine bumper car scrub

[tim_duncan_fan]

Because he wasn't helping to destroy us up until that point.

I cringed every time he touched the ball... "Quit passing to the stands goddamnit!"

[letmk]

I love Manu to the death on defense, but not so much on offense and that 3-pointer. Just before that, he missed 2 fts and one 3-pointer off the tip-rebound from Tim. And overall tonight he is 1-7 for 3 pointers. That's a KB-like game, when you shoot and shoot, it finally goes in a couple.

We, non-Lakers fans, often laugh at KB for being hyped as this kind of hero. The same standard needs to apply to Manu for that 3-pointer. It's a great shot by itself, but when we recap this game, we can give Manu A++ for defense and all-over-the-court hustle, but it's better to not mention his offense.

Was gonna say that tbh.

[Yuixafun]

I saw the 6 steals and I raised my eyebrows... and then I saw the 6 TO's and my expression settled into an ah well...

[JRHernandez88]

we got the w.

[baseline bum]

Those two FTs to cut it to 1 were clutch too.

[Sean Cagney]

Yes he does have the knack for horrible plays the last few years, some of his passes make no sense to me at all and it does make me cringe. I still have love for Manu and very big shot tonight and Good D late, but seriously he just made up for those boneheaded cot damn passes he makes.

[Capt Bringdown]

It took a heroic turn-back-the clock effort from the Spurs dynamic duo of TD and Parker to save us from another Manu fuckup.

[timvp]

There was someone wide open in the crowd and by golly Manu was going to find him :cheer

[ducks]

manu missed 2 free throws missed an open three on that possesion
next possesion he throws the ball away
manu had 6 yes 6 turnovers last night
yes he hit the big three that parker found him but he was very average at best not worth what he is making

[Yuixafun]

2 can't let 1 bring all 3 down

[racm]

Manu with a Robert Horry stat line

[diego]

manu did just enough to make up for his mistakes. In his defense, he did set up a lot of threes that didnt fall.

at the very least he played hard at SF

[ducks]

tp should have hat 12 to 15 assist tonight no one in the first half could buy a basket

[carina_gino20]

Just Manu being Manu tbh.

[Obstructed_View]

There was someone wide open in the crowd and by golly Manu was going to find him :cheer

I :loled

[Richie]

He'll need to be better come playoff time. His D was excellent but damn he couldn't buy a shot.

Came up clutch with big defensive plays and the 3. We need more from him though.

[ElNono]

Manu did what the team needed to win this game :cry warrior :cry

Usual haters gonna hate, tbh

[manu the best]

MANU IS GOD

[Sean Cagney]

Manu did what the team needed to win this game :cry warrior :cry

Usual haters gonna hate, tbh

I am not a hater I am a huge fan of Manu! His reckless damn passes to the crowd though must slow down some, he is too reckless at times with the ball. He came up big later and I appreciate that, but in reality TIM saved the day with his game if you want to be honest! Once again TIM DOES it with his huge game! PERIOD.
MANU IS GODNO Jordan is GOD, Duncan is Jesus and Manu is well........ HE IS MANU GINOBILI (POP).

[spurraider21]

Before the 4th quarter I believe Neal and Green were a combined 1-15 or something from the field. Manu's FG% was godly compared to our other guards. Plus he hit the big 3. I'll take a clutch shot any day after a bad game. Just ask fuckin Derek Fisher with his 2-9 statline with one stupid ass corner 3 pointer to break the other team's back

[DMC]

I wouldn't say Manu saved the day. It's more like he stopped fucking up the day and became Manu again. On defense he was phenomenal. Guy was everywhere. Tim and Tony went into Asian mode on offense.

[Trainwreck2100]

Manu poured gasoline on this game, then lit it on fire, watched everything burn, then brought out a fire hose and put out said fire. :cry Manu the Hero :cry

[LongtimeSpursFan]

The way Manu has passed the ball lately he has become the Tony Romo of the NBA.

[ElNono]

some people here overreacting, tbh... the previous two games he's been nothing short of phenomenal and only had 1 turnover on each. Sure, tonight was ugly for some stretches, but dude contributed in other ways to the win.

[crc21209]

Manu was...well Manu tonight. He makes you wanna pull out your hair with the questionable passes and the stupid decision making, and then he makes you wanna jump up and down when he throws in the game tying 3 pointer....

[spurs10]

Manu was all over the place...literally! Loved his expression when he hit the big 3...Tony's pass was badass too. The AT&T Center went berserk when that shot went down! F$%&in' fantastico!!

[JRHernandez88]

Manu = shooting GAWD. Idgaf how many mistakes he makes, he always makes up for them & then some. That was clearly a foul @ the end on Rudy Gay but if it wasn't for that competitiveness, then who knows how the game might have ended tonight...

It's funny when ElNono trolls around, but you mister are not funny. I like the Manu of old, but this pale imitation of Kobme, not so much. Why did they give him that last possession of regulation time?

According to JRHernandez88, shooting 1 out of 7 from three and 4 out of 15 overall makes someone a "shooting GAWD". If that's the case, then Gary Neal's also a "Shooting GAWD" for going 4 of 16 from the field and 3 of 10 from three...

lol @ yal homos clowning on your own star. wait till the playoffs come around and ill make sure to remind you bout' my boy...

[Mouth is Bleeding]

Before it all went bad (I could not believe the two missed free throws and the 3-sequence which left me devastated) he deserves credit for his work with the bench inspiring the comeback. He makes those guys so much better.

loosen up fkn queer boy

Manu Ginobili = Shooting GAWD :D

[Boomersgold]

oh & that one 3 your talking about... aint that the one he made to tie the game up??

It was and had he made at least 50% of his attempted threes, I doubt there'd even be an overtime.

[JRHernandez88]

shut up. you failed. go back to bed

JRHernandez is butthurt that timvp gave his favorite player, Ginobili, a low grade.

Back to the actual topic of the thread. Aside from his game tying three, his passes were sloppy, his shot selection was iffy and his overall
presence just didn't have a positive impact on the game.

It is amusing to see some of his fans try to defend his performance though. (A "shooting-GAWD".....)

Scoring 10 points on 15 shots is what the Spurs need to win games? Or are you referring to the 6 turnovers? :downspin:

[lcroock]

I watched the last 3 minutes of the game and Parker's D was horrendous. He was so slow to react on pick and rolls/screens.
The 3 by Conley was inexcusable he was so wide open.
Luckily Randolph missed some easy layups over Bonner....that won't happen come playoff time. If Pop dares playing this lineup in the playoffs vs Memphis lights out folks.

The lineup was OK for this game, but yeah, in the playoffs Tim needs more help than what he got from the front line this game. Not sure Bonner could replicate this performance on Randolph ever again.

I do think Bonner is much better in the 5th big role though as he can be a nice change up and things aren't going well. It's a good role for Bonner.

I think his turnovers killed us against the Thunder in the WCF. Usually Manu does more good than bad.

[colargol]

Time to trade him...as red Rocket !! their value would never be upper than now.

Manu and Bonner for Gasol.

[ManuTastic]

Manu definitely still a work in progress this year. The way he started last year was so great, it really sucked when he got hurt. This year it's Tim and Tony playing MVP level early while Manu works into shape.
