Evita is finished

[hater]

Serious thread. Spurs gonna have to learn how to play without him.

Thanks Manu for the great career. Time to hang them up.

[Cklbmk]

Buy him out. We need his roster space for someone who can dribble or pass or shoot or play defense

[DJR210]

Wow.. loses the ball and makes no attempt to run back on D..horrible

[BatManu20]

This will be very bumpable come June.

[hater]

I vote for letting KA handle the ball. Do it Pop

[Cklbmk]

Wow.. loses the ball and makes no attempt to run back on D..horrible

Which play are you talking about? I think that happened 5-6 times tonight

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

You guys are right just shit on him for all he has done and ship him off. Go against everything this organization is about. Who are you people?

[spurtech09]

manu going to the locker room...hurt foot

[BatManu20]

Bump material come June.

[ElNono]

he didn't look right since stepping on that Blazer shoe in the 1st half... hope he's ok, we're gonna need him to close games...

[UZER]

He used to be 70-30 good-bad in the clutch making plays. Now it's like he's 40-60. It's just way too many stupid turnovers.

[spurtech09]

another game down the drain.....a lot of teams have been making a lot of lucky shots on the spurs

[spurtech09]

season getting worse....hurt parker,kl hurt hand ,and now manu

[Poolboy5623]

They need to rest him.....until March.

[Cklbmk]

Manu is more like 20-80 now

[TheGreatYacht]

You guys are right just shit on him for all he has done and ship him off. Go against everything this organization is about. Who are you people?
Go watch the history channel. He hurts the team RIGHT NOW, and he's preventing them from getting HCA

[KL2]

Time for the young guns to carry this team (KY, Mills, Green) as they have been, can't believe people still rank guys like Manu and TP above them tbh

[TheGreatYacht]

manu going to the locker room...hurt foot
Kobe-esque

[loveforthegame]

Spurs will ask Leonard to take a pay cut to keep Manu around.

[cjw]

Grow up guys. Either one of those shot clock violations get put up 0.1 seconds earlier and it's a win. Manu isn't only being asked to play PG but for extended minutes. A full roster and the Blazers and Grizz aren't competitive with us.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Go watch the history channel. He hurts the team RIGHT NOW, and he's preventing them from getting HCA

Ya and the fact that we are miss Parker, KL and Mills has nothing to do with that. Issue with Manu is he tries to carry too much when it comes to times like this. Gives it his all and nothing but blood for the organization. But hey he has never done anything for them right?

How about we look back in time when DRob was almost traded for Weber as he was nearing the end. Shit that turned out better in the end

[hater]

but I thought Parker was a cancer and Spurs were better off without him handling the ball in clutch time :lol

oh and you cannot seriously compare the corpse of Evita with DRob's last year :lol

[midnightpulp]

Now you're just being willingly credulous for troll purposes.

Nice shtick, my nigga :tu

[Malik Hairston]

Manu has been terrible in key situations, but he's being forced to play PG and without proper spacing, too..

That's what happens when you have Cory Joseph on the floor..can't shoot, can't pass, doesn't space the floor..

[Trill Clinton]

manu is good for 20-25 mins a game. pushing him past that and you're asking for trouble.

[marinoman]

Go watch the history channel. He hurts the team RIGHT NOW, and he's preventing them from getting HCA

lol @ making a big deal about 1 extra home game in a series. A game in which most series dont even go to. HCA is better than not having it but it's not like the whole series goes on the road. People here make waaaaay too big a deal about it, it's like no ones seen the Spurs lose home games in the playoffs and win road games in the playoffs with commonality

[HI-FI]

Spurs will ask Leonard to take a pay cut to keep Manu around.

:lol

pretty much. ugh, really don't look forward to his online hispanic semen shield, spinning this latest choke.

[spurs1990]

Easy solution.

Limit him to 2 games a week.

We all appreciate him but dam the negative impact is gotta be affecting the other players psyche.

It's like dude is turnover prone with baffling shot selection.

Guys must be thinking how is he getting away with it while if it was them, Pop wouldn't hesitate to sit them.

Man just rest for a minute. Get your mind right. Spurs can survive w/o dude until the postseason.

[hater]

the good news is Evita won't play next game vs. Mavs. I say we win that one :lol

[spurtech09]

Grow up guys. Either one of those shot clock violations get put up 0.1 seconds earlier and it's a win. Manu isn't only being asked to play PG but for extended minutes. A full roster and the Blazers and Grizz aren't competitive with us.agree.....

[ElNono]

he'll play his usual minutes if he's not hurt, and that's what's going to be... hopefully we get everyone back so he doesn't have to have a big usage out there...

[hater]

wake up. he was not hurt last game and last previous games he fucked Danny Green's parties.

LMAO playing the hurt card. Sound like KObefans IMO

[ElNono]

if he's not hurt, then he'll play his usual minutes... and keep his role doing the same thing... if Pop trusted him after 2013 then he's probably not going to budge now...

[hater]

come on now. you know he's playing extra minutes and extra ballhandling due to MVParker being out. He's been fucking up he's old. let's face it and move on.

This is my biggest beef with Manu. He gets leeway that nobody else on the team gets, not even Tim or Tony. It's like Pop just gave up on EVER coaching Manu.

[ElNono]

come on now. you know he's playing extra minutes and extra ballhandling due to MVParker being out. He's been fucking up he's old. let's face it and move on.

of course, that's what I was saying. Once we get our guys back, he'll probably go back to less usage. Until then, we're just going to have to deal with it.

:lmao :lmao :rolling

[marinoman]

im not sure about throwing parties for people for regular season ball, but it does seem manu has reverted back 2012-13 manu, 1 good game for every 5 bad ones. But I do think if he's shutdown for 2-4 weeks he'll give us better play. We still need him for a ring, if you just want an early exit yea give all his minutes to KA and bellinell..........Hey you guys remember last years playoffs how you kept saying faginelli sux, good times

[Budkin]

I'm still using the injury excuse. Fuck it.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bumping this, too many deflection threads for my liking. Tbh

[Harry Callahan]

No more 3 OT games please. I've seen enough of those.

Manu will sit some I hope and get fewer minutes soon.

[hater]

I like asking Kyle Anderson to take over imo. Suit Evita down for a couple games

[ElNono]

I hope it's like det one time you thought Duncan was finished, tbh....

[hater]

Hope so too. Doubtful thou. I can spot a dead dog from miles :cry

[itzsoweezee]

Add Tony Parker to the list of "finished" Spurs. He's been an average point guard for two seasons and will hopefully be benched once Patty returns.

[hater]

6pts 2 assts in 27 min vs a division rival. :(

This is getting alarming folks....

[PingPong]

Manu, Tim and even Diaw are exhausted. Maybe Green too. he missed his last 9 or 10 three attempts. Pop shouldn't have played Tim in the second half against the Grizzles. Fatsol was owning him.

[TMTTRIO]

Well blame it on Pop for continuing to play him when we have Green, Cojo, and now Mills who can replace him. I do think we should stop counting on him to be a major piece anymore and should only use him sparingly (10-15 minutes).

[hater]

I think last couple of games Pop did take more ballhandling responsibility to Cojo and Benchinelli. (not that its a great idea but it's probably better than riding Evita to a wheelchair)

still seems now that Evita lost his role and is now patrolling the perimeter like a zombie from Walking Dead imo. He also looks completely gassed. Hopefully a better schedule and the comeback of our MVP guard will help soon.

Otherwise a trade might be in the works to help this aging team.

[ElNono]

Both Manu and Timmy are tired as fuck. If this December has shown anything is that both of these guys have plenty left in the tank to return next season, barring some nasty injury...

[kaji157]

Yep Ginobili is fine and so is Duncan, don´t let posters that just want to make trouble here to blur your thinking. A 37 year old player is carrying a back court without their starting PG. Still he has a positive impact overall for the season +19. Not many Spurs players can say that.
Clearly the problem no one really sees here is that Ginobili is being asked to A) Play five more minutes per game than last year. B) Play the point which takes more of him physically. C) Guard better opposing players because our only perimeter defenders available are him, Green and Joseph.

[EVAY]

Good observations, tbh. I think it is mostly the last two. He could probably handle five more minutes at his normal role, but too much responsibility for the pg (last season Patty would at least bring the ball up and start the set) and defense. That's where it looks like it is really wearing him down.

He's also averaging more ppg than last season, which already was improved from the previous season.

Sit back and enjoy greatness, tbh

Fail, as usual.

oh I agree. seems like Pop agreed to as last couple of games he put less responsibility on Manu.

my only reason for bumping this is even with LESS responsibility and less minutes, Manu had 6 miserable points and 2 assists. that is the alarming thing. IMO he needs to sit out a few games.

[benefactor]

Solid movie tbh. Salma Hayek's tits.:tu

[DMC]

All the 40 year olds are done. That's not sad. What's sad is the crop of idiots who we have to look forward to now. When you have 40 year olds still dominating the game, your future isn't too bright.

Yes.

[EVAY]

He certainly didn't look too worn down by his increased minutes per game tonight did he?

Our entire second team was whole tonight for only the second time this season. Makes a huge difference to have everybody playing their 'normal' positions for 'normal' minutes doesn't it? I was watching Manu's minutes and he was on pace for 25 minutes - until the overtime. But he looked spry in the overtime and now has a couple of days of rest!!

A warrior as always!!

There will be nights he doesn't have it. Only natural for a 37 y/o... that said, he still has plenty of game...

Lets hope so. Happy new year to the short Evita bus riders. They finally have something to celebrate :lol

Hater dick slapped in the face, I'm starting to think that he loves it.:downspin:

[DAF86]

Odd timing for this thread , tbh. Manu in the last 10 games is averaging 15 ppg on 46% shooting with 6.3 apg and 5 rpg. All above his career averages.

[Calispursfan11]

Hater's credibility is seriously damaged. But I have to hand it to him, he put it all out there. Risk takers go down in flames or win at life. Hater went down in flames tbh.

What a pass to Beli in the 4th, tbh :wow

Quiet game from Gino, just enough to get the W

[hater]

Good cojones by Pop to finally take Evita out for spurs 4th quarter run :tu

Need more of this IMO

[ElNono]

That's why Gino closes games even on nights where he seemingly doesn't have it going... Pop knows the leadership and playmaking is going to be there...
