LMAO Manu guarding Klay for stretches

[hater]

:lmao is this real life???

What kind of coach would put Manu to guard Klay as a strategy?

[hater]

Why dont we just tank if we gonna do that?

Guy who grew up playing baseball vs. guy who grew up playing TicTacToe. Gotta take the former every time, right DAF86 :downspin:

Don't even know what you're talking about, but if you are referring to Klay and Manu, Manu >> Klay, when Manu was on his prime. It's not fair to compare prime Klay on this stacked team against 40 year old Manu, tbh.

Klay being a baseball fan makes sense, since he's a glorified one trick pony specialist, tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

LMFAO Manure > Klay??????

This man smoking dicks

Well Klay isn't much of a scorer, needing assists and all just to score.

Every seaosn Popovich finds a lineup to fuck with fans and throw gams with. Last season ith was Ginobli/diaw/west/anderson. This season, it's ginobli/anderson/lee. Lee's a good offensive player, but these guys can't play defense worth shit. Then he had parker on the floor with anderson and ginobli. I couldn't believe my eyes.

[DarrinS]

Our PG can't guard anyone, or score, or make plays, so there's that.

Baseball players aren't specialists aside from pitchers. Anyhow, makes sense. All det handeye coordination Klay learned from baseball allowed him to develop one of the best shots in basketball, which he drilled in Manure's face time after time :lol

Manu still relies on that slow ass soccer style Eurostep that modern players are just too athletic for.

Neither of our PGs that is

Both were awful

[TheGreatYacht]

Deflecting from our TOSB shooting guard.

[Chinook]

Honestly, if Manu can't guard Klay, the Spurs have no chance. Ginobili was pretty bad on both ends, which just sank the team.

24 minutes, 0 points, 2 ast, 2 TO

^who is this?

Manu's soccer passing and eurostepping allows him to still be effective at age 40. He would feast on today's NBA with that style on his prime. I mean, Manu 0.2 is going to win MVP.

:lmao

If we need our 40 year old bench shooting guard to guard one of the best shooters aver and a top 5 SG then we might as well tank for the lottery

Manu should NEVER be on Klay. It should always be Green or Kawhi

[Keepin' it real]

Everyone knows Manu can't guard Klay. Not even plausible.

Manure was solely responsible for the team blowing the first quarter lead

No. Fuck no. Klay's their third option/spot-up guy. Manu has to be able to guard him. End of story.

[DarrinS]

But, I guess we can blame this loss on the second oldest player in the NBA. :lol

[ElNono]

I thought Manu guarded him well, tbh... contested every shot.... Klay, when he's on, he's that good of a shooter...

Klay at least is really a starter, tbh... Iggy having monster games is more demoralizing, IMO...

[Chinook]

Guarding Klay is the easiest assignment out of the top-three perimeter defenders. Manu simply has to be able to guard him. He doesn't have to shut him down, but he has to at least be a constant speed bump.

Thats impossible.

Shit I rather have Andershit and Simmons on him before Manu

At least Anderson has length and Simmons speed

Manu has neither, and is 40 years old

The guy can't guard Austin Rivers, much less Klay Thompson. Only hall of famers would do it

I don't care how old Manu is. He can't be on the court at all if he can't guard Klay. You can't actually prioritize guarding Thompson. It just wouldn't make any sense from a game-planning perspective.

:lol

Honestly, I think we have way bigger defensive holes... if we're honest Manu really is the 3rd best perimeter defender on this team...

[DAF86]

Manu was right on his face on pretty much every single shot even though Klay was shooting after a fraction of a fraction of a fraction of half a second, what more do you want him to do? Klay was just feeling it at that time.

[ElNono]

Sure he can be. He can play PG... but it doesn't really matter. I think Pop would move Kawhi or Danny to whoever is the hot hand at any given time in a potential playoff matchup. I don't think he cares for that stuff in the RS.

I definitely agree that Manu contested all of Klay's shots. I have seen Klay go on streaks where he hits everything tosses up with defenders in his face. I couldn't get upset at Manu since he was up in his face on every shot he took. Those are the type of shots I can live with. Like you said Iggy playing out of his ass is what did the Spurs in. He did his best imitation of Michael Jordan tonight with all the bs shots he hit. The majority of his shots were contested which drove me nuts when they came in.

Wow, I never thought fatball lovers would stoop this low to prop up their agenda but I guess I was wrong...disgusting stuff, tbh..

I make a cheeky joke.

"Agenda"

:lol

TwinkieTrot fans are sensitive, TBH.

[TheGreatYacht]

Praying Ryan Anderson takes him out for good in the second round. At least then the Spurs will have a chance

You have a good point. Manu has to guard him to stay on the floor.
That's the team Spurs have.

In fact, maybe in the playoffs Kawhi and Danny play more minutes but Pop only gives 6-10 minutes to one of either Kyle or Simmons like in the past.... (and hope Simmons is not fouling) ... Anyways, they are likely to see very short minutes in the playoffs, less than in this game, where maybe Pop wanted enough film of Anderson to roast him or whatever... but it's unlikely he (or Simmons) plays 13 minutes in a playoff game unless they are on fire like Simmons was in that season opener.

Anyways, that still leaves Manu out there. He wasn't good in this game. Not as bad as Tony bc Tony looked done, but he must be better.
