Manu Ginobili...

[apalisoc_9]

Made up for one of his 8 turnovers in game 6 with his play today..

7 more manu..

:flag:

Manu, Patty, and Diaw came up huge. Patty's D on Calderon was unreal.

[spursguy123]

Splitter played well also hit clutch free throws, double double

[808]

Yup also Splitter. Getting up in Dirk's face and forcing hard shots was beautiful.

[Nathan89]

I rather have lost today and had one less turnover in a championship game that ended the way it did. One turnover could have changed mean number 5. He can't make up for that shit. That's just stupid.

This entire series has seen the Spurs play well only when Manu is in the game.

Can't ever accuse Manu of shying away from the moment.

Sometimes it'll come back and bite him in the ass especially at this age, but still how can anyone not admire those huge balls of his ?

[Sean Cagney]

Manu has been a MAN among men this series, thats for sure.

[Johnny RIngo]

No coincidence that Manu looks rejuvenated after having the summer off. Imagine how much more effective Manu would have been in the 2013 Finals if he rested in the off-season instead of chasing a meaningless 4th place finish for Argentina. Same goes for Parker and his worthless FIBA trophy.

Dead on, I would take that title last year and a healthy TONY this year if they stayed off that bs crap that nobody as a SPURS FAN honestly cares about! They are the employers of these guys honestly! Them playing for some FIBA crap and a 4th place is nothing to me! Nothing against their country fans in here but I honestly give two fucks about their NT play, I want the Spurs to win titles and care about that only.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Manu learned from the best, when you feel the effects of father time, spend the off-season working out and losing weight just like Timmy. He is way better this year than he has been the last two years. I fully expect Parker to do the same thing this off-season.

[Johnny RIngo]

I fully expect Parker to do the same thing this off-season.

Too little, too late. Timmy ain't getting any younger. These two should have appreciated that fact instead of wasting summers on tournaments that their fellow countrymen don't even care about(Argentina and France are soccer nations first and foremost). San Antonio only has the Spurs. Really a slap in the face to all the SA residents that pay for their livelihood.

Well a couple of things, San Antonio is not a nation, it's a city in a very large nation. I can assure you that the people from Argentina and France are very proud of Manu and Tony. I mean it's preposterous for you to think Argentina's Gold Medal and France's European Championship have not lionized them with their countrymen.

[100%duncan]

No one in that Spurs roster will make up for anything, even if they win it all this year, game 6 will forever be a scar in everyone's minds.

True but eventually we just have to move on. It's done. If Manu helps bring us a title there's nothing I would blame him for.

He's definitely being the most emotional player on the team, I can tell he wants to redeem himself.

Agreed. Hell no one should even cherry pick on Manu for that loss, if you want to blame only one man for that meltdown it should be Pop for subbing Tim out the last two possessions that we needed a fucking rebound.

Manu has been the best player for us this series. No one can count out the dude with the biggest heart.

Eight turnovers. 'Nuff said.

[Budkin]

What sucks is that we can't have Manu and TP playing well at the same time. It's like it's either one or the other.

[SpurSwag]

I'm not worried about Parker at all long term, because I definitely expect him to rest this summer, but the way he looks now really doesn't bode well for our current title hopes. Hopefully he somehow picks it up

[Leetonidas]

He has been amazing so far but nothing will ever make up for his 8 turnovers in the most important game in Spurs history to me tbh

But he's been a beast so far this seasons' playoffs

[DPG21920]

Was Bruno the smartest basketball analyst on ST :wow. Look at his timing. Knows basketball so well that he saw Spurs would struggle and not only that, but TP would look awful due to playing for French National team and Manu would look great.

GOAT POSTER.

[Dverde]

Parker couldn't blow past Calderon. He is not right. He still has an effective jump shot, but we really need him to get in the paint and create for others. Manu kept them in the game. He saved us in that game. That and the Mavs missing open 3s time after time.

Box Score 6 = 2-5, 1-3, 8 Turnovers. Championship +/- -1


I don't care if he goes 50-50 for 150 or 200 points with Zero Turnovers in a stupid First Round Game. That doesn't equate to The Finals clinch game he threw.

[heyheymymy]

hopefully manu keeps it up, he deff wasn't playing at this level last years playoffs so it's great production to be getting.

He is setting you up for a big letdown in a big upcoming game. Relying on manu is going to lead to failure.

Of course it's not sustainable. But it's not his fault they're relying on their 3rd best player. It's just a matter of the other guys not showing up.

[jag]

Can't ever accuse Manu of shying away from the moment.

Sometimes it'll come back and bite him in the ass especially at this age, but still how can anyone not admire those huge balls of his ?

When Tony does it, it's hero ball. When Manu doesn't, it's just a guy with huge balls and a lot of heart.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

When Tony does it, it's hero ball. When Manu doesn't, it's just a guy with huge balls and a lot of heart.

You know, what point guards are supposed to do.

[SpurYank]

Pop said it. You all know it. I know it. When Manu is in the game, things happen. We are not going to win if Manu is hurt and not in the game. Pop said it yesterday. His main concern is to get him out when he appears exhausted, because he IS exhausted, and never because he turns the ball over.

We are not going anywhere, without Manu Ginobili.

[Leetonidas]

What game was it that he took a retarded 3 point shot within the last 90 seconds with the Spurs up and the shot clock at 15? That was game 3 right? Because that was a pretty colossally stupid shot imo, reminiscent of the one he took in GS last season but was forgotten because of his game winner

This.

[flacura]

Why Manu or Tony, man, team effort with both in the game, both talents. We have to enjoy the spurs those days, Manu, Tony and Tim, because they are all great stars. You will realize that and you you will miss all of them when they retire and the spurs fight for a couple of wins in the season. You do not know what you have until you lose it. Those three are legends, Tim, Tony and Manu, save this for free

[Leetonidas]

Both of which were games he scored a go ahead field goal with less than 2 seconds left

Maybe if he had ran some offense instead of just chucking that 3 in game 3 he could've scored and we wouldn't have been beaten by a last second shot making his go ahead shot not matter. I'm not hating on him just pointing out he still does make incredibly retarded decisions when he should know better by now

[flacura]

:lol the point is he attempts to pass.

i like those kind of point guards too but nowadays this concept is a little old fashioned point guards post in the low post and big guys shoot the three. You need a balanced team and Tony is one of the best in this kind of game. Manu is also one of the best creating options as an old point guard. They could live together

[heyheymymy]

tony and manu basically traded playoff years they were healthy in. in 2013 it was parker that was more healthy, now manu is more healthy than parker.

You mean the one he was wide open for? The Spurs were having problems getting open looks in the 4th quarter... all of a sudden the Mavs fail to rotate and leave Manu wide open for three... unfortunately, he missed...

[heyheymymy]

if manu is open for 3 i want him taking it at this point. he was horrible in 12 and even 13. but this year he's been really knocking them down aside from one key slump in the middle of the reg season.

[heyheymymy]

^besides, he's prob got the green light from pop anyway.

[FkLA]

When Tony does it, it's hero ball. When Manu doesn't, it's just a guy with huge balls and a lot of heart.

Can't ever accuse Manu of being selfish either. TOs on passes is a lot different than hero ball, besides if he's closing at this point of his career it's probably bc some other nigga is shying away from the moment. I know others do, but I don't have a problem with Parker taking over in the 4th especially since Pop encourages it, what's frustrating is when you can't even tell he's out on the court.

[hater]

:lol when TP goes into hero mode, he has tunnel vision. When Manu does, there's a 60-65% chance he passes to the right guy.

Which one is the right guy? The one with the beer in his hand or the guy holding the baby?

The the go ahead wouldn't have been necessary in both cases had he played under control. That's like saying you screwed your sister but had a condom on so she didn't get knocked up. Then 1.7 seconds later you find out some guy named Vince had poked a hole in it. Woops.


Manu screwing ing up put him in a position to save the day. But he screwed that up, too, and Dallas won.

If he doesn't brick the three his "heroics" never come into play. Moron.
