Tony Parker is absolved. This loss in on Manu Ginobili

[midnightpulp]

The most overrated "clutch" player of this generation. Has done absolutely jackshit since the '05 playoffs.

[AaronY]

Well, you know..

[midnightpulp]

No sale. I ain't gonna let Manu Kobe himself out of this shit. The whole play like shit for the entire game, hit a clutch shot, and then all is forgotten. Nah uh. Manu plays halfway decent and doesn't make stupid decisions, Spurs win this game in regulation.

That said, hell of a fuckin' win. Leonard was the true hero.

[james evans]

yeah manu and parker need to learn to pass the ball when the guy is open and not wait until you get in trouble. parker shot like shit

[FkLA]

:lmao

Manu is a 36 year old, injury ridden player. Youre setting yourself up to be disappointed by expecting consistently good play out of him. He was arguably the best closer in the game prior to his noticeable decline though, and numbers back him up on that.

Agreed about this game but if you want we can argue about the whole "not doing jackshit since the '05 playoffs" stuff, tbh.

He shouldn't be taking 20 shots including couple last second shots and a very long contested 3 out of nowhere if he is playing like shit.

Regular season. He hasn't produced a good playoff run since '06.

But he is still an extraordinary playmaker, quite possibly the 2nd best in the league behind James. Unless he's hot and/or wide open, I'd like to see Manu keep his shots under 12 a game and just get others involved.

midnightpulp might be the most dedicated troll account of all time tbh. bashes lakerfan/kobefan all the time just to make us think he's a spurfan, then posts these wrist-slitting threads/posts all the damn time. trying to infiltrate our fanbase tbh. well done

[ElNono]

good jinx thread by mid... he won't acknowledge it, but his work has not gone unnoticed, tbh

On the other hand, shitty posters like hater are eating crow raw tonight... :lol

[ElNono]

[024]

This was a classic Kobe game from Ginobili. Leonard and Green deserve more props at the end of the game than Ginobili. Especially Green... he hit some clutch 3's and got a crucial block and steal in overtime.

[ElNono]

Credit to Diaw too, who was able to bother Curry at the end

[Brunodf]

:rollin

He was the only one worth a shit in 2011 despite the shoulder injury. He was huge in the Dallas win in 2010 too despite the broken nose. Those teams just happened to suck. Playmaking is definitely his forte in the clutch and not so much shot making.

[Robz4000]

What mid said. Leonard with the great inbounds pass tbh.

[james evans]

i still have no idea what he was thinking on that long 3

[HI-FI]

my nigga mid was a bit haste in his post. still, Kawhi deserves the most credit from saving us from Ginobili's abysmal performance.

Pop's quote at teh presser says it all tbh. Ginobili deserves his recognition, but damn he was pure shit throughout this game. Kawhi and Parker bailed us out big time.

[midnightpulp]

Anyhow, fellow Spurs fans, not submitting to ownage bumps tonight. Manu was awful outside of one big play and I'm not going to be results oriented and forgive him for his terrible game (at least shooting wise, he was fantastic passing tonight).

But feel free to ownage bump me if Manu turns in a great game 2.

[Juggity]

mid is spot on here. One made shot does not excuse multiple terrible ones.

I'm glad Manu stepped up for that last, great, open shot, but the other ones he took could (and, frankly, should) have cost the spurs the game.

[Technique]

Just enjoy the win.

Ginobili is Ginobili.

But, the fact that we had a chance to win the game after such a horrible performance by Gino and without TD speaks volumes about this team. We got the win, I doubt Manu is going to be this bad going forward, so what's the point of being senile.

[TDMVPDPOY]

i know KL was only responsible for currys 4pts that came from them layups in the game, but who was on him that allowed him the other 40pts?

[DAF86]

Manu in '06. Everybody remembers "the foul" but on that series Manu had 21.3 ppg on 49% shooting and 40% on 3's.
Manu in '07. NBA champion
Manu in '08. Played injured throught out. Still put up 21.3 ppg, 6 assts and 4.1 rbds per game in the last series we won that year. Spurs leading scorer in game 7 against NOH.
Manu in '09. Didn't play.
Manu in '10. 19 ppg, 5 assts, 3.7 rbds and 2.3 stls vs Dallas. 20 ppg, 7.5 assts, 3.8 rbds and 3 stls vs Suns.
Manu in '11. 20.6 ppg, 4.2 assts, 4 rbds, 2.6 stls vs Memphis with a broken elbow.
Manu in '12. Chilled 'till the road got tough and averaged 18.5 ppg on 50% shooting and 42% on 3's.

Yeah, I say he has done quite well in the playoffs since '05.

leonard was the one doing nothing in the 1st half. aside from that terrible three, manu setup a lot of shots and was passing up shots looking for others (can't remember if it was before or after parker was getting blocked every 3rd trip down).
manu's shot was way off but he played hard and was a positive for the most part.

The hero of this game was thompson for fouling out.

still he had 2 shitty plays that got the warriors back into the game that pushed it to OT...the turnover pass, and the stupid brick 30ft 3pt shot with 11secs left on the team shot clock, 1min of game time left...fkn stupid decision making there....

green and kl got us back into the game, with diaw taking the shots after being left wide open for most of the game finally deciding to shoot

last 11mins of the game, pop finally reach down in his pants found his small balls lineup that worked for him, premature ejaculation happen

I ain't a hater. I call him out and laud him when it's appropriate. He played an awful game tonight and was one shot away from being absolutely detested by 90% of the Spurs fanbase tonight.

I don't know about awful game... he was 3 board short of a triple-double... he did shot poorly though.

[DAF86]

I don't know about awful game... he was 3 board short of a triple-double... he did shot poorly though.

And made some terrible decisions. That 30 footer with 50 seconds remaining in the game, I don't even... I want to know what the fuck was going on on his head.

[ElNono]

And made some terrible decisions. That 30 footer with 50 seconds remaining in the game, I don't even... I want to know what the fuck was going on on his head.

yeah, agreed. As I said on the game thread, can't spin that one. But that's Manu. The 'fix' for that is normally a bigger play.

[FkLA]

The thing about Manu is, when hes going through a rough stretch he rarely completely disappears. He still remains a solid playmaker most of the time. Tony, you dont even notice him out on the court when hes playing like shit. Today was even worse since every player Parker was guarding was abusing him.

[NRHector]

Manu fucks up n I won't deny it but he always makes it up with a big 3 basket , a big steal or a big pass so I never doubt Manu

[100%duncan]

Curry was on fire in regulation bruh. Even if you'll say Manu was playin shit the whole game, what can you do with Steph shooting like that tbh? It was out of Manu's hands.

[AussieFanKurt]

Mid learning from Lefty

[z0sa]

I won't lie, good thing I didn't post during the game. I felt defeated around 6 minutes left in the 4th. Shouldve known better.

I'm a Manu nuthugger for life but this fuck is making me look bad for the past 2 games.

I thought game 1 clutch shot by him imspired him tremendously. NOT!

[ElNono]

he had a decent 2nd half... after they tied the game, the 5 points of the 8-0 run we had then was all Manu.

But Tony should take the spotlight tonight

hey Nono, remember when you said Ginobili should get paid as much as Duncan for his next contract? you still believe that?

[ElNono]

hey Nono, remember when you said Ginobili should get paid as much as Duncan for his next contract? you still believe that?

don't think I ever said that (unless trolling). Link?

I can actually find where I said he could be had for $3/$4 million a season and was told that was too cheap

[Reck]

hey Nono, remember when you said Ginobili should get paid as much as Duncan for his next contract? you still believe that?

That was compadre talk. El knows best.

[midnightpulp]

Props to every Spurs tonight. Can't ask for a much better playoff road game performance against a good team in a tough arena than that.

[DAF86]

Outside of his shooting and one bad pass in the second half, I think Manu did pretty well. He played under control, grabbed some rebounds, made things happen with his passing even in plays where he didn't get an assists and defended pretty damn well. He had a +13 too. People should look beyond shooting, imho.

[Bill_Brasky]

Step up, Manu.

If the Spurs lose this shit, you'll be the likely culprit.

:tu to Manu. All 10 points in the second half, along with a handful of timely assists and a great steal at the end.

i dont know how you clowns give ginoboli a past for this game....

seriously?

dude did alot of shit that nearly fcked up the lead, that got the spurs playing with their backs against the wall if they choke the lead away
didnt help when splitter started the 4th quarter playing like a bitch with 3 straight turnovers....
