There's unholy amounts of blame to go around believe me but the most blame goes squarely to Gregg Popovich with his nightmarish rotations. Neal scores one three pointer and Popovich decides to leave him in the whole game. Ridiculous small-ball lineups playing right into the hands of Miami. Not pounding the ball down low enough and give Miami Roy Hibbert flashbacks. You really fucked up tonight Popovich and people will really start to view you differently as a coach if you don't correct these senile rotations.

i remember arguing with certain CoM members who thought he should get paid what Timmy is making. no fucking way.

Manu looked like he aged ten years and developed Parkinson's in between games 1 and 2. He needs to get his shit together fast. We don't need great games from him, we just don't need him blowing games like this.

Ginobili handled the ball like a greased pig. Shamefully pathetic. I agree. Retire. My favorite player, too. Sad.


However, let us not forget that Duncan couldn't hit the ocean from a rowboat and the only things Parker hit were the defenders (in the legs for three or four turnovers).

This series is over. Miami in five or six. Good run.


Too bad we wasted Leonard's and Green's superhuman efforts.

truthfully, his shot is gone. ONce a shot is gone from a player, he's handicapped. Plus he's old. That means he's slower than most players he faces. That only leaves his experience and smarts. That's very little. I love Manu but he's just a guy that comes to a gunfight with a little butter knife. it is what it is.

Spurs need to find a way to win without this guy.

TJastal
06-09-2013, 09:43 PM
Neal is the bigger problem IMO. Guy plays terrible defense and cannot handle the ball which puts huge pressure on Ginobili to take over point guard duties. Mills is a much better ballhandler and that's why the two of them post much better on court numbers together. Pop does not recognize this, only sees that Gary can take alot of shots.. that is all he sees. Same deal with Splitter, the dumb coach took 2+ years to recognize the need for size in the starting lineup.. only saw that Tiago wasn't producing huge numbers and gave up on him until it was painfully obvious to even the most casual fans.

I fully expect Pop to stick with Neal even though:

Mills = better ballhandling, equal scorer, quicker/better defender than Neal.
CoJo = better ballhandling, much better defender, decent scorer
McGrady = better ballhandling, bigger/better defender, can chuck shots all day if that's what you want (just like Neal).

I love Manu but I can't defend him

The game was close until the end of the 3rd quarter, when Pop decided to take out Green and Leonard to put Ginobili and Neal. Two dumb TOs followed by two 3s from the Heat and they had a 10-point leading going to the 4th quarter. To me, it gave the Heat the momentum and the confidence that they needed to win the game.

Manu should try to do a few things in a simple way. He couldn't even initiate the offense without a TOs trying to dribble.

He has to play much better than this. It was one of the worst playoff game I've ever seen from Manu.

MannyIsGod
06-09-2013, 09:46 PM
You have no option but to play Manu. You're not going to win a title without Manu doing something to help win you at least one or two games. Thats pretty much just a fact. So its not like there's a choice to be made about playing him. At this point we all have to hope that Manu has enough in the tank to give some good performances and at the LEAST he has to play well enough not to hurt the team out there.

ElNono
06-09-2013, 09:47 PM

Manu was terrible on handling the ball today. The man looked like he needed to be on a cane out there. This game looked like he completely lost all of his ball handling skill. He did a decent job on Dwayne Wade but he did leave Mike Miller and Ray Allen open at times. Another thing that pissed me off about Manu was those canon ball passes that he would do after being double teamed off a pick n roll. Manu looked like an old man today.

I have to think resigning Manu to a large contract would be a mistake regardless of anything. He couldn't maintain a high level of play for many minutes and for the majority of a season for nearly his whole career, and especially at this age. His body simply can't do what it used to. I'm surprised in how shitty his dribbling was tonight though, that was terrible.

I said it in another thread that got buried, but I can tell you a lot of what happened to Manu. Spoelstra told his guys not to bite on Manu's pump fakes... ever. And they didn't.

Like it or not, Manu has lost some foot speed. He uses that fake to get guys off their feet, and then he blows around them. The Miami defenders are just too quick for him to blow around consistently, if they ignore the pump fake and keep their feet. When they stay down, Manu can't penetrate. And when he can't penetrate, he's just another guy out on the perimeter. It's a problem.

Green and Leonard provided enough to keep us close first half. So that's encouraging.

This team can handle a blowout I'd like to think. Most fans can't.

Some quotes from him after Game 2:

- "I'm heading back home disappointed. I lost a Finals game, I'm gonna watch tape and learn from the mistakes"

- "They just ran over us from the 3rd quarter on. We knew it could happen, they have runs like that"

- "I was never comfortable. Especially after they called that third foul on me"

LOL blaming any fouls

still :tu Nono for still being here after that performance.

lets home timvp is right and Manu has 1 hopefully 2 more NBA quality games left on him :(

Yo fucking retardo. Let me tell you something. I don't understand why people can't objectively criticize a player without hating on him.

You and the other idiots who come out of a hole every time Manu has a bad game are just not very good Spurs' fans. What will happen if he does have a great Game 3? are you going to come out here and bend over? Please do that.

I don't understand the need for hating on the guy - you can say he was sloppy tonight, you can say he shot some bricks, etc - but calling this game on Manu is beyond ridiculous and it's an over-exaggeration on what really happened.

Please don't use a bad game to hate on the guy - YOU DONT KNOW SHIT ABOUT BB.

yeah, a guy who played 17 minutes lost a 48 minutes game.

Please learn your basketball.

He didnīt play well but by no means the Spurs would have won if Manu played better. The team sucked as a whole. Green played well on offense and Kwami in the rebounding department. Those are the only bright spots.

Other than that.

Manu and Tony looked lost.

Duncan looked unwilling to attack the block.

Kwami was out of control on offense (he should never ever jack up 12 shots in 3 quarters)

Green was horrible on defense.

Tiago played like he is 6 foot tall.

Neal....

problem is with this Miami defense you have to force a lot of plays
Ginobili used to be good at running down the clock and making his layups.
this ability seems to be long gone now
I don't see him getting back to his old level
play leonard instead

Ginobili handled the ball like a greased pig. Shamefully pathetic. I agree. Retire. My favorite player, too. Sad.


However, let us not forget that Duncan couldn't hit the ocean from a rowboat and the only things Parker hit were the defenders (in the legs for three or four turnovers).

This series is over. Miami in five or six. Good run.


Too bad we wasted Leonard's and Green's superhuman efforts.

TheGreatYacht
06-09-2013, 11:50 PM
I will give you my take and I'll start by criticizing our big 3. Tim Duncan was pathetic on defense. Early on he was extending outside trying to block jumpers instead of staying on the paint and protect the rim. I don't know how the hell he had 11 rebounds because Chris Bosch absolutely outplayed him on those offensive boards. Timmy does not box out his man after we get a defensive stop. Duncan had ZERO blocks. When Duncan posts up, instead of using brute force or using foot work to get to the rim, he does some tough fade away shots. This is probably the worst playoff game that Duncan has had this year. Duncan looked old tonight.

Manu was terrible on handling the ball. The man looked like he needed to be on a cane out there. This game looked like he completely lost all of his ball handling skills. He did a decent job on Dwayne Wade but he did leave Mike Miller and Ray Allen open at times. Another thing that pissed me off about Manu was those canon ball passes that he would do after being double teamed off a pick n roll. Manu looked like an old man today.

Tony was non-existent for the most part. Early on he had his couple of moments but for the most part he looked like the TP from the last month of the regular season. Seems to me like he completely gave up on the pick n rolls because of the way the Heat defend it. I give the Heat some credit for mixing their pick n roll defense and also mixing up their defense on Parker. Parker needs to move around and try to play off the ball. After being double teamed and passing up the ball, he just stays stationary on the perimter spectating his teammates (Gary Neal trying to play point guard). Tony is going to have to try to be more effective off the ball.

TIAGO SPLITTER. He played 22 minutes and one fu**ing rebound. Are you fu**ing kidding me?

I give props to Danny Green and Gary Neal. They played well offensively. Khawi Leonard played pretty good defense on Lebron James. On the other hand perimeter defense is another story. Everyone kept leaving Mike Miller and Ray Allen open for three's. Credit Lebron for collapsing our defense. Mario Chalmers had the game of his career.

The officiating was so blatantly one-sided. We got no calls at all. I can't blame the officiating today because of the Spurs terrible defense.

06-10-2013, 12:36 AM
I love Manu but I can't defend him

The game was close until the end of the 3rd quarter, when Pop decided to take out Green and Leonard to put Ginobili and Neal. Two dumb TOs followed by two 3s from the Heat and they had a 10-point leading going to the 4th quarter. To me, it gave the Heat the momentum and the confidence that they needed to win the game.

Manu should try to do a few things in a simple way. He couldn't even initiate the offense without a TOs trying to dribble.

He has to play much better than this. It was one of the worst playoff game I've ever seen from Manu.

This right there, is when the game was lost. Sure they weren't playing well as a team, and there's plenty of blame to go around. But as bad as they were playing, they were right there with Miami and had them on the ropes. As soon as Neal and Manu came in, Miami started their run. Manu was awful tonight, and this is one of them games where the coach should have ridden the "hot hand" in Danny Green

I don't know. I think as long as Manu is some kind of Tony Allen, Battier(prime) type spurs should be ok. Problem is he was so attrocious in game 2, he was probably the 4th or 5th best Heat player out there. Manu just needs to at least be 50% the prime Ginobili for the Spurs to be successful. Otherwise, sit his ass down.

Btw, series is not over.

He can't shoot any more. His pump fake is a joke, and painful to watch. He won't play within himself. My gawd the man can't even dribble. Bottom line is Ginobili has been on a downward trajectory for awhile, and unlike Tim-meh, he can't lose a bunch of weight and get better.

The only thing good about Manu tonight was his interview where he mimicked Tim's stone face (when asked how Duncan would respond if they built a statue of him).

I remember against the Thunder when Manu short jumped a one man fast break slam. I thought, it was just conditioning and would improve. No such luck.

Ginobili is done barring some serious off season miracle.

You have no option but to play Manu. You're not going to win a title without Manu doing something to help win you at least one or two games. Thats pretty much just a fact. So its not like there's a choice to be made about playing him. At this point we all have to hope that Manu has enough in the tank to give some good performances and at the LEAST he has to play well enough not to hurt the team out there.

This.

Johnny RIngo
06-10-2013, 10:08 AM
I said it in another thread that got buried, but I can tell you a lot of what happened to Manu. Spoelstra told his guys not to bite on Manu's pump fakes... ever. And they didn't.

Like it or not, Manu has lost some foot speed. He uses that fake to get guys off their feet, and then he blows around them. The Miami defenders are just too quick for him to blow around consistently, if they ignore the pump fake and keep their feet. When they stay down, Manu can't penetrate. And when he can't penetrate, he's just another guy out on the perimeter. It's a problem.

Sad thing is even when Manu does penetrate he ends up blowing the layup half the time. Ray Allen is nearly 40 and he looks like a more a reliable player than Ginobili these days.

It concerned me to read today that he was blaming the big 3 saying they played like shit. YOU played like shit. Sure, Tim and Tony where below average, but Manu was absolutely horrendous.
Some people were wondering if he was done or if he was saving for the finals. I guess the answer is pretty clear, two games into the Finals he is still sucking monkey balls.

Fucking Manu and Splitter/Duncan not taking advantage of the mismatches are the main reason why the game was lost. (and Neal not being able to guard my grandma)

Miscue? A miscue is like what he did on the corner inbounds pass to Tim. Manu went to the basket when Duncan was expecting him to stay in the corner. That's a miscue.


What we got instead was a stumbling, staggering drunkard impersonator who couldn't hold onto the ball. I have never seen Manu dribble that poorly....and to lose it what, four times? That was about a sixteen point swing of lunacy by him. Miscue? That's not even close.

First of all this loss is more on heat playing great finally than Ginobili, they triggered all the right buttons to derail the Spurs and it worked and Lebron played an amazingly clever game.

Regarding the Spurs, unless I forgot something, that was the worst PO game on Manu's career tbh. Tim sucked major ass this game too in O but also in D. Parker had a very poor game, he is the leader of the team so he is the one to blame if we want to find a scapegoat to loose by 20 points. What I hated from him during this game is that he begun soon to be frustrated by the refs and couldn't get over it during the whole game. This is not what you expect from your leader: you are in Miami game 2 of the finals you have to be prepared to not receive a call every freaking minute because you fell down alone tripping on your own foot. They didn't blow the whistles so stfu, stay focus, stop complaining and play the game.

brazil with a truth bomb. I know TP is your boy so I'll be diplomatic, but he had a bad game. Manu's was legendary bad because he looked like an old drunk Italian out there. I noticed ElNono has been quiet so he isn't even able to spin this. But Nono mentioned how everyone stunk, and rewatching it, he's right, particularly with TP. i think we were so amazed after his late game 1 heroics that we didn't realize how things devolved with him in the early 4th quarter. Those Lebron screens on Parker were brutal, and then as per par with Parker, the more frustrated he gets the more he starts forcing shit.

you are right about Parker getting pissy, which is one of my many complaints. It's why he'll never be a leader like Duncan in my eyes, he gets frustrated too easily out there. But that doesn't mean Parker is average, far from it. He's just got certain weaknesses that need to be addressed and everyone needs to step up big time.

If we're to win this, we will need a Detroit '04 type synergy imho.

I agree with others, this loss is on everyone. Duncan needs to get back to taking better shots and abusing Haslem/Anderson if they are guarding him. Tony and Manu have to take better care of ball and watch errant lazy passes. Neal and Manu need to take better higher percentage shots as well. offense needs to stay in game and pay attention... shot clock violations are uncalled for and show loss of focus. An the defense has to step up on the outside shooters more than trying to double Lebron IMO.

The Grizzlies were one of the bests at forcing turnovers and we starved them that way. The Mavs had the same problem in '11. If the Spurs are going to have turnovers they can't afford live ball turnovers.

It's not all on him, obviously and his hamstring clearly isn't 100%, but he also just doesn't seem to be as driven as he once was. Duncan and Parker seem determined to get this done and he almost seems content to be here and resigned to losing.

When Parker said before the series that he thought he was saving his best for last, really what he was saying was, he needs more help if they're going to get this done. Clearly, that didn't work. So at least one of Parker, Duncan pr Pop needs to flat out tell him that he needs to start playing with reckless abandon, whether it leads to injury or not, because they're not winning this with the way he's playing right now anyway.

But Nono mentioned how everyone stunk, and rewatching it, he's right, particularly with TP. i think we were so amazed after his late game 1 heroics that we didn't realize how things devolved with him in the early 4th quarter. Those Lebron screens on Parker were brutal, and then as per par with Parker, the more frustrated he gets the more he starts forcing shit.

you are right about Parker getting pissy, which is one of my many complaints. It's why he'll never be a leader like Duncan in my eyes, he gets frustrated too easily out there. But that doesn't mean Parker is average, far from it. He's just got certain weaknesses that need to be addressed and everyone needs to step up big time.

If we're to win this, we will need a Detroit '04 type synergy imho.

Tp is my boy cauz he receives so much undeserved shit on this site that I feel I have to take his side most of the time. But I'm not a homer, I root for the Spurs since the twin towers not just a player, I was obviously delighted to see a Frenchie drafted and I'm estonished by his dedication and his desire to progress every single year, u have to respect that. He led the spurs this far now he has to deliver I'm not asking for 20 pts and 7 assists every game but he needs to show the way, fights adversity and takes the hits and the non calls like a leader. He cannot let external stuff pollute his focus.

to be fair, he progressed a lot on that aspect too and it's quite rare now when he has this kind of game. Now for the game 3 he needs to stay in his game, play, forget his last t/o or a missed call and play.

if there's certain things I notice about TP over the years is he gets predictable when frustrated. I think it begins, like you said, with the no calls. If he is getting hit and refs are letting it slide, he always shows his anger. Then he starts flopping more and penetrating more, to the detriment of open guys, to force the issue. In the process of this heroball, he's missed out on several important posessions where he could've hit the open man. This is what separates TP from legendary PGs, they seem to know how to counter things, whereas TP will keep forcing shit. When he isnt forcing shit and playing balanced, he's incroyable as you would say. He definitely deserves respect for evolving as a player.

Ultimately it's on Pop, he knows the strength and limitations of everyone so he'll have to make the whole better than the parts. I can't imagine the team, especially the big 3, playing that bad the rest of this series. I think they knew they had very little chances of winning game 2 even if playing very well.

Manu was terrible, and sometimes he is just plain reckless. Spurs can beat the Heat just playing their game, with tough defense, TP's PNR, guys hitting open shots, Timmy pounding their smaller bigs. The only positive thing in getting blown-up should make Spurs focus more and not be complacent. Stay hungry Spurs.

Some more translated quotes from Manu (this was right after Game 2):

- "If us three (Tony, Tim, Manu) don't play better, we don't have a chance"

- "We didn't play well. I don't think they changed their gameplan much. We're who we are, and so are they"

- "We weren't focused enough. I committed 3 fouls in a row, and then you start fighting with yourself, the refs, and you lose focus"

- "Before coming to Miami you'd think that if you take a game you should be happy, and it's true, but nobody likes to play like we did tonight. We had the first game, so we wanted to win the second. Nobody is happy playing like this and it's worrisome. Disappointed and worried, that's how I feel right now"

- "We were pretty weak. In the first game we were quicker, stingier and solid. We were passive today and we suffered the other's team aggression. The biggest issue was offense, but in the second half they attacked us really well"

Manu is so careless with the ball. When you make a bad pass, that the guy can barely handle and he turns it over, that turnover is on Manu. But it doesn't show up on the stats. HE MUST play within himself, or he is a detriment offensively. Our trouble is, overall, that if point guards were what won you NBA titles, then C3P0 would have several. BIG MEN win titles. Centers, power forwards.
