Who do you trust more in the end of a game? Manu or Tony?

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Simple question. Let me know what you guys think.

Parker. As poorly as he played for most of Game 6, he came on when it mattered most and took no part in the catastrophic chokejob. He also won Game 1 for them in Miami. Manu is directly responsible for 2006 and 2013.

[sammy]

Manu!

[EVAY]

It's honestly hard for me to say. Tony truly is a clutch shooter, as he has demonstrated repeatedly. Manu positively has ice in his veins with any shot at the end of a game.

I guess I would have to go with Tony, simply because Manu is as likely to overestimate his own abilities (2006) as he is to make the winning shot.

But I love Manu having the ball late in a game. I have confidence in him without really having the empirical evidence to back it up. I guess I think that Manu's bball i.q. is so much higher than anyone else's…but then that leads to that bad judgment at times.

I guess I end up with Tony. Even when he has been shooting badly in a game, he comes through in clutch time. (game 6 of last year's Finals)

[spurspokesman]

Both are hit or miss so im on the fence

[John_C]

Hmm one will either turn the ball for a turnover by forcibly passing in tight spaces, or the other one will dribble too much that we are left with no option but to hurry up shots.... hmmm.... i just don't know really!

[Brazil]

I'm fine with both idem with Duncan

[TheGreatYacht]

Hmmmm game winners vs missed finals free throws lmao

[Capster]

I'm going with Ginobili. In addition, he and Duncan were the only players that "brought it" to game 3 last night. Without Ginobili's 6 - 3 point shots, this game would have been a total blowout! Thanks Ginobili!!!

For me, it depends on who's playing better leading up to the end of game situation we're talking about. Sometimes it'll be Parker, sometimes it'll be Manu.

[baseline bum]

Parker easily. That iso 30 feet out followed by a screen from Splitter to end quarters never fucking works.

This.

Would anyone really trust Tony more in game 3?

Parker = Hits game winners
Manu = Misses clutch free throws and turns it over

fair enough. If Manu's 3ball is splashing then Manu. If Parker is getting to the rack and hitting the jumpers than Tony.

Parker. As poorly as he played for most of Game 6, he came on when it mattered most and took no part in the catastrophic chokejob. He also won Game 1 for them in Miami. Manu is directly responsible for 2006 and 2013.

Pop made all the wrong substitutions at the end of game 6. When they needed a play at the end of overtime he went with Manu instead of TP.

[hyhy]

Manu. Hes much harder to defend than parker.

[jkid12456]

Parker just by a tiny string.

[Hemotivo]

manu

[Diego20]

Manu no doubt.

[silverblackfan]

It would have been Manu since about 2006 for me, but the last two years Tony has really developed a reliable mid-range shot. Add in the additional years of craftiness and experience and now I would take either one depending on how they are playing. Even that soft answer is tough. They both have had bad 1/2s and then went into 'video game mode' a quarter later..

To do what? Offense? Defense?

[Jimcs50]

Funny thing is, there have been very few chances this post season for any last second heroics. Most games blowouts

[therealtruth]

If Manu has 7 turnovers in the game I would probably go with TP.

[vander]

Mills

[Mikeanaro]

Mills
That little fella is on fire.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Depends on who has had the better game or the hotter had at that juncture.

Even then, I'm really cool with either taking the shot.

[Prime Time]

If Spurs need some offense with a couple of minutes left to play, give it to Parker.

If the Spurs need a GW shot without much time remaining, let Manu shoot it.

[kuato]

Manu, Parker is incapable of create a play for others, Manu can pass and shoot, you cant double guard him without the risk of an easy shot for one of his teammates

[Darius Bieber]

Depends on the game tbh. Whoever is hot gets the shot. If Danny Green is 5-5 from 3 during the game, he'll get the shot. If Manu has that stat-line, he'll get the shot. Same with Mills/Belinelli, etc.... Just depends on the flow of the game.

[DAF86]

Both have shown to be pretty clutch over the course of their careers, if any Spurs fan diss any of these guys on that regard they haven't been paying attention.

[spurspokesman]

fair enough. If Manu's 3ball is splashing then Manu. If Parker is getting to the rack and hitting the jumpers than Tony.
Agreed

[FkLA]

Right now? Parker. During Manus prime it was him by a mile tbh.

[cd021]

Right now? Parker. During Manus prime it was him by a mile tbh.

Manu was filthy, very good 3pt shooter, excellent at getting to the rim, drew plenty of fouls and had great court vision. Now he can only do a couple of those things a night.

[weeks]

i honestly can't say. they're both capable of shrinking completely or burying a critical dagger. i don't prefer one over the other to take that final shot

[emanueldavidginobili]

If we're talking prime manu and prime tony for the end of the game I trust manu by a mile to make something good happen if it's a pass shot steal drawing a charge.. manu would get it done

[oski1000]

Manu...

[look_at_g_shred]

Green

[sexinthatsx]

Manu for sure. Tony Parker's jump shots are coming off screens and if the defense can recover it alters his shot. A poster above talked about the Splitter iso screen 30 feet away, but Manu's almost automatic when he does that iso screen and goes in for the layup. It's the same play every time and it's a hang time lay-up that goes in many times. He did it when Shaq was with the Phoenix Suns, he did it against the Denver Nuggets in the playoffs, he did it in last year's playoffs. Not to mention, he did it to win the FIBA championship a couple years ago.

I agree, I don't have a preference. Whichever is the better shot. But I can't see Manu "shrinking." Screw up? Sure. But I don't believe he has any fear of the moment at all.

[Spurs7794]

From 3 minutes till 25 seconds, I trust Parker because current Manu is wreckless and Parker is pretty money when they run their offense. For a last shot inside of 24 seconds, I trust Manu because he can usually create something for the last second whereas Parker struggles when just trying to generate a potential game winner (without running their actual offense).

21 & 7... Clutch 3... Na problem is your boy is a klutz

[BatManu20]

Turnobili reared his ugly head at the worst time possible tonight. But somehow I'd still rather have him handling it late if Tony's being guarded by Lebron. He basically becomes useless when they make that switch.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

21 & 7... Clutch 3... Na problem is your boy is a klutz

Kiwi..

[DesignatedT]

Tony has Lebron on him. Manu has Ray Allen on him and Manu still with the constant flopping down the stretch and horrible turnover.

That's why this is such a tough matchup. They force us to put it in Manus hands down the stretch, that's exactly what the heat want.
