Spurs guard Manu Ginobili offered a public apology to his teammates for making them work overtime to secure their 104-97 victory over the Utah Jazz Friday night at AT&T Center. ...

WE CAN ONLY HOPE....

At least he's still has a conscience...

[Mugen]

Should defer to Kawhi more tbh.

[mercos]

Figured he would be angrier than anyone else over his performance. I'd wager he has a very good performance on Sunday against Houston.

[racm]

Yep, it's definitely mental at this point. He's spry enough to dunk now.

[KaiRMD1]

I forgive him.........but he didn't apologize to me

[hater]

At least he's still has a conscience...

Props

Its 90% mental.bhe needs to adjust his game

I think he needs to play more minutes in a game to get it together before the playoffs.

He's always had a conscience. Manu's a class act. He just needs to stop the turnovers. His shooting will come...

When they replayed it on the post-game it sounded like Sean and Bill were implying that it was a mixup on both Manu's and Tony's part. Equal fault?

Not really. Had Ginobili stuck with his man, the worst that could have happened was that Jefferson makes a two-pointer with no time left on the clock. Parker may have made a mistake in not switching, but with wasn't an equally bad mistake.

He has the heart of a champion, the fierceness of a lion, and I want him on my team. Betting against him is a mistake. I think it's just the late-schedule doldrums. This will be a 60-win season for us, ho-hum, let's get to the playoffs. If Mr. Duncan plays like he is now, and Mr' Parker is himself, I predict Mr. Ginobili will be our X-Factor. And we'll be smiling at our new banner.

I am scarred every time the game is close and he is going to pass the ball..

It's pretty much like the foul on Dirk in '06. When the other team needs 3 to tie don't allow them to get 3pointer. Also defend the 2pt shot hard but do not foul.

Agree completely. He is arguably the most rhythm dependent spur there is, and his rhythm has been off since his last injury and him being out for so long. The only answer that I see for that is to play him as much as possible until he calms down and knows that his contribution is valued and he doesn't have to win the game for us or do something outstanding.

We need him in the playoffs. We need his floor vision, his 'savvyness', his willingness to take risks. As his rhythm returns, I believe his confidence will as well and he will be the guy we have seen for years as a clutch player at the end of games. He is still the guy I want to have the ball just before the end of the game. Let him get the ball to someone else to shoot or let him create a foul for himself, but let him stay out there. He will come through. I honestly believe that.

He's 35 and he needs more minutes to get his mojo back? smh :rolleyes
