If the Spurs played Manu as PG, would they have won the Clippers series?

[cantthinkofanything]

He might have had a turnover here or there but I think he would have been better than an injured Parker.

[spursparker9]

:lol It would be over in 5

[Poolboy5623]

No. It would have been unwatchable, with drunk manu back..

[cantthinkofanything]

:lol It would be over in 5

Which way?

[MultiTroll]

More Pattycake, Cojo in relief, Parker in 3rd relief (only playing like he is supposed to pulled if he starts his chucking shit).

Spurs in 5 or 6.

[SASdynasty!]

Probably would have been a sweep with Manu averaging 25/10 with maybe 1 turnover a game.

[ManuGinobiliArg]

Pending the decision of Ginobili, we propose a review of the numbers had along the 1,052 games played. The statistics put him level with NBA legends like Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.


They tell old, which is not the same as before and is nearing retirement. However, they can not discuss the numbers achieved in his career Emanuel David Ginobili. Leaving aside the four rings has after enshrined in 2003, 2005, 2007 and 2014, statistics mark the imporancia Manu has in key moments of San Antonio. Only 26 players managed to devote more opportunities bahiense.

In regular season, Ginobili numbers are by no means negligible. So far, the sum escort 12,395 points, 2,252 rebounds, 3,478 assists, 1,201 steals and 276 blocks in 23,135 minutes played over 865 games.

But the magnitude of Ginobili is observed in emphatic fashion when the playoffs are taken, since it is a player who ranks among the top fifty in all areas, including 2,397 who once have participated in the postseason.

Throughout history, only eleven players managed to reach at least 187 games that have Manu: Derek Fisher (259, retired), Robert Horry (244, retired), Tim Duncan (241 active), Kareem Abdul -Jabbar (237, retired), Kobe Bryant (220 active), Shaquille O'Neal (216, retired), Scottie Pippen (208, retired), Tony Parker (203 active), Karl Malone (193, retired ) and Danny Ainge (193, retired).

The statistical data on which it is in the worst position are the plugs 55, for the position 104; followed by rebounds: 793 captured with which exceeds 128 Alonzo Mourning, among other famous names.

Its strength is on defense and team play, which is also reflected in the statistics: accumulated 261 thefts, 45 more than Gary Payton, one of the best in the business; More than 76 108 Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. In this category, Ginobili is the best tenth of history.

As regards assists, scored 747 passes so far leading place him 19th in history. So already finished ahead of Bird (75 less), Fisher (149), Charles Barkley (265) and Doc Rivers (284).

If the strength of these numbers is not enough, the race of Manu Ginobili still keeps track of ending it on the highest place in the history of the NBA. If one takes into account the values ​​accumulated so far in points, rebounds, assists and steals playoff ball, only seven players have at least reached records bahiense: Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Clyde Drexler Scottie Pippen, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James.

[itsamanuthree]

Well, it's interesting, if you consider how much he assists in the little time he's on court and how this turnover thing has been blown way out of proportion.

But anyway, he would've done a better job than TP, that's a given.

[look_at_g_shred]

Who knows..they're could've been tons of adjustments. But in the series, Pop refused to coach.

[cd021]

More Pattycake, Cojo in relief, Parker in 3rd relief (only playing like he is supposed to pulled if he starts his chucking shit).

Spurs in 5 or 6.

No Cojo was the right call by Pop. They ignore him on offense and the Spurs spacing was bad enough the Duncan+ Splitter starting unit was awful. The Diaw+Duncan starting unit was far superior based off lineup metrics from NBA.com.

Spurs needed play making and Manu was pretty bad in that series. Parker was the lesser of two evils according to Pops rotations. Mills isn't a very good play maker so a unit of Mills, Green, Leonard, Diaw and Duncan probably wouldn't have been as successful as people think it would have been.

a Manu-Green-Leonard-Diaw-Duncan unit vs Paul-Reddick-Barnes-Griffin-Jordan (if Manu was Manu) would have been the best lineup Manu on Barnes, Green on Paul, KL on Reddick and the bigs guard each other straight up. Diaw gave the Clippers problems (could have been even better if his 3pt shot didn't go on early vacation). Duncan played ridiculously well for a 39 year old going against Jordan.

[cd021]

Diaw starting would have been the adjustment to make. Based on lineup stats the Clippers starting unit was the worst defensive unit in the playoffs and the Diaw unit was the 5th best on offense and very good defensively.

Diaw shot 54% from 2pt in the series, he had little problem scoring in the paint . Splitter was awful on offense. He did show up for Game 7 though.
