...To be really honest.
Yeah, making shots would be nice and will be needed at some point but I can't believe how you guys are throwing Tony and Manu under the bus after this game when they were the main factors for making the offense work in this game. Don't put all your focus on seeing if the basketball gets through the hoop, try to pay attention also if they're making the right plays, taking the right shots, making the right passes in conclusion to try to pay attention and see if they're making things happen.
-Tony had 13 pts and 8 assists, that accounts for at least 29 pts (considering all of his assists were for two pointers which I doubt)
-Manu had 5 pts and 11 assists, that accounts for at least 27 pts (actually more 'cause I remember at least three Manu assists that ended in three pointers)
If you add that up Tony and Manu accounted for about 60 pts (give and take without the three points counted and the assist from Tony to Manu and visceversa) of the Spurs 94, that's around 2/3 of the Spurs pts coming from the players that "sucked ass" according to most folks here. Not bad, imho.
And this without counting the defense (pretty damn awesome from both) and other things (Manu: 6 rbds, 2 stls - Tony: 3 rbds).
They may have not played a great game, they may not even played an average one for them but make no mistake, they played a pretty solid game that helped the Spurs get to the WCF.
