:lmao definition of throwing gasoline on a fire...

If you're going the world cup just go... Don't tell everyone how you're already hurting...

[Malik Hairston]

:lol..resting for a few months wouldn't make any sense, certainly..

This bitch will be 20+ pages in no time.

This bitch will be 20+ pages in no time.


Spurs general manager R.C. Buford commented the reason Ginobili played at such a high level was due to the fact he sat out playing overseas last year after the Spurs fell short in the 2013 NBA Finals to rest his body and now fans are questioning his decision to play this summer.


but manu knows more then anyone from spurs front office or coach:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:bang:rolleyes: rolleyes:greedy:greedy:greedy:greedy

[ducks]

pop will have to bench manu 15 days right after allstar game if stays healthy that long

[ducks]

no one can support manu for playing there when he is already hurt and at his age
younger and healthy you can defend him
NOW YOU CAN NOT

maybe he was smoking something in miama

[TheGoldStandard]

Marco will be getting all his regular season minutes.

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao

Edit: :bang

[100%duncan]

No shit

[ducks]

Ginobili’s decision to play is very controversial for Spurs fans, but he knows the risk. Fans will just have to put their trust in Manu and hope for the best.

fans trusted him wanting td to be at to be able to repeat and td opted out to make sure they could only for brainless to try to do this

[Juggity]

I'm sure he feels pretty obligated to play for argentina one last time, seeing as he spends so much time and effort contributing to an essentially American sport league, and this is his only opportunity to play for the benefit of his home country. I won't criticize him for making this decision as I'm sure he wrestled with it and ultimately it was his choice to make. If he values his national team's performance, it's definitely his right and privilege to contribute to it. That said, I have no doubt it will hurt his play next season given his advanced age.

[ducks]

send them money DO NOT PLAY
offer to coach but do not play

This...Well most of this, anyways. All indications I've heard through Spanish sports media is that they don't plan to play Manu that many minutes for Argentina. He's mostly going to be used as a motivator for the rest of the team.

[xtremesteven33]

Hopefully this is all a ploy where he says hes gonna play and then mysteriously gets hurt and then not play. Win Win for Manu.

[hater]

mother of God :pctoss

[ElNono]

Can't wait till the tournament starts, tbh... get to see some more Tiago, Patty, Boris, Gino et all... :hungry:

[smaka]

:lol
At least shut up and don't say stuff like that, Manu, if you already decided to play.

[benefactor]

Doesn't matter.

Thumb has a ring.

[Mel_13]

Manu just trollin' ST..

[jag]

The Betrayal

[Cowboys_Wear_Spurs]

Wow, the tournament doesn't start until two months. If he can't recover from bumps and bruises in that time, he should just retire altogether. You guys need to get a grip.

[CosmicCowboy]

Doesn't matter.

Thumb has a ring.

no it doesn't

[cd98]

Maybe he's waiting until playing his last NT game before announcing his retirement.

Pretty sure game 7 of the finals doesnt constitute a "rest" because they didnt win

http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/images/smilies/smirollin.gif this,
at least now we know he does not read in ST (or perhaps read)

[phxspurfan]

Doesn't matter.

Thumb has a ring.

Yes


no it doesn't

Greedy


The news has left some Spurs fans unhappy,

Of course they never link to ST though

[rodrigo]

In an interview with an Argentine website, Noticias Net on Monday

Source link? I can't find that interview...

[littlecoyotecoin]

pop will have to bench manu 15 days right after allstar game if stays healthy that long

More like UNTIL the all star game.

[CosmicCowboy]

Manu DOES NOT have 5 rings. Tim is the only one with 5.

[DJR210]

Doesn't matter.

Thumb has a ring.

Duncan's and Pop's maybe.

[kaji157]

That quote is mallicious and out of context. He doesn´t mean that he is literally in pain.

The quote in spanish was:
"Todavía no me siento ex jugador de Selección. No fue fácil tomar la decisión porque, a los casi 37 años, tengo dolores por todos lados."

Translation
"I don´t feel like an ex National Team player. It wasn´t an easy descition because, at 37 years old, i have pains everywhere."

Link: http://www.noticiasnet.com.ar/?se=65&id=180794&Gin%F3bili:-

He also said in the same article that:
"I´m not going to be all out during training camp, i just cat take a two month of full training. But i will try to be at my best for the tournament"

So as said before by other posters it seems tha Manu and Julio Lamas (Argentina NT coach) have agreed for him to have a smaller or lighter role.

[itsamanuthree]

If Manu reads ST, then how can you expect him not to play for his NT, considering this board has been such an ungrateful, disrespectful bitch with him. XDDDD If I were Manu and I were to read all the motherfuckers hating on me here after giving this team everything I got year after year, the hell, I would take a shit on all your ungratefull demands and play for my NT.

[flacura]

Ok, here we go again, new thread, boring, boring

Manu is the worst basketball player ever, the worst that has happened to Spurs, oh my god we must throw stones to Manu's face and to his wife Many too, he and his family must be banned from the USA, his house has to be burnt i believe and his 3 sons must suffer some kind of bullying from now on.

He also must return his rings and in the Spurs history books he and his achievements must be deleted. He will never be remebered. GINOBLI SUCKS

PERIOD,

CLOSE THIS BORING THREAD, PLEASE

[benefactor]

Duncan's and Pop's maybe.
Was referring to the franchise, tbh.

[ElNono]

Will you be lodging the :cry "it still hurts" :cry excuse when Client becomes Turnobili again? :downspin:

never been on that boat, tbh... I actually Believed in this team...

The only thing that is left is anyone here to create a poll to see if all this Manu playing for his National Team is him getting back at the Spurs an the NBA for not giving him 2005 Finals MVP

[Sixth Street]

This is such a non-issue. Pop can essentially keep Manu in bubble wrap until after the all-star break if need be.

[ducks]

none issue WHY WHY does not rc agree with you
what happens if someone else gets injured and then manu is forced to play more and pop can not bubble wrap him

[Trill Clinton]

meh i ran out of fake outrage over him playing for argentina. i hope pop keeps his ass nailed to the bench until after all star break. give his minutes to danny and patty.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Maybe we can introduce Manu to a cryogenicists prior to his departure from SA.

The Betrayal

:lol

[EVAY]

Doesn't it seem as though the "I have pain everywhere" would translate in English idiom to "I hurt all over"? Which is really nothing more than any of us say after an extremely taxing physical workout, which playing 100+ professional basketball games with the last 22 or so at a playoff intensity would qualify as 'taxing' for anyone.

I understand the concern that folks on here have about Manu since he has had so many injuries, and I think it is a valid concern.

I think of this as an economic transaction. Each Spurs player has exchanged 82-100+ basketball games of talent and effort in exchange for their salary. We, as fans, have gotten absolutely top effort from Manu for the season and post season. It's not clear to me that we have any right to expect any more from him.

The contracts for all of these basketball players on every team allows for international play. Therefore, it is something that the players' union negotiated for and got.
That is the contract.

Of course, I always like ANY player playing for his national team. I just think it is a mark of good character.

Thank you manu for putting everything into #5. You hurt now but it was damn worth it.

enjoy playing with your buddies this summer. :tu

Shut up faggot.

Now that that's settled, why does Ginobili give two shits about Argentina? Him being Argentinian is only technical, the guy is fucking Italian just look at him and his last name.

[Whisky Dog]

Does Manu's decision to play for what amounts to nothing for Argentina show that the repeat isn't a big deal to him? Since TD is coming back I figured it would be a big deal, otherwise he could have just pulled a DRob and walked on top.

[Biernutz]

"I am in pain everywhere" welcome to middle age Manu.....

[Sixth Street]

Pop isn't going to burn out Manu in the early months of the season no matter who else gets injured.

37 year olds shouldn't be playing off-season bball. Everyone in the Argentina basketball federation needs to be fired - bunch of fucking idiots. Horrible coach and youth development.

TBH, I'm not even blaming this one on Manu. From the sounds of it, Manu was on the fence about playing this summer until the Argy coach pressured him into it.

[Vito Corleone]

Has anyone considered the idea that just because he is playing for the national team he might not actually play much at all. He might be there as more of a emotional life and coach for the team rather than a player. Now if he plays a lot of minutes then I'm on board that this was a bad decision. Also keep in mind his goals after he retires is to go back to Argentina and grow the sport, this will give him the opportunity to see some of the younger players up close.

[therealtruth]

Maybe that has something to do with us not repeating. Have we only won championships in years he sat out?

we've seen this movie already. he'll blow another championship, call his performance "so-so", his agent will say it was "average", then if he somehow helps Spurs win another ring, he'll finally come clean about fucking things up.

This is why I wish Manu would've retired now just so that the haters would go away and start complaining about something other than Manu. I'm sick of it. He can't do anything right. So who's going to be the next target after he hangs it up this season. I don't like it but Manu doesn't have much of a choice knowing that they're really lacking any talent after the remaining guys. This is why Manu has said after he retires he's going to work on development over there.

Sure he does. He has a choice to not play and actually rest his body. Argentina isn't winning shit with or without him.

Some need to settle here. If we could overcome Tony Parker playing three straight years for his NT we can overcome Manu´s now that Tony is good.
The problem with Manu is that when he sucked no one bailed him out, while when others sucked Manu did bail them out more sooner (2005) but also later (First round vs Mavs).

[Skull-1]
