What's up with Manu?

[2centsworth]

His offensive game has regressed. Spurs need him to be an offensive stud otherwise this is going to be real tough.

[nexsim]

As argentinian, I just can tell you that he's playing like crap.
He's not even 75%, he has no legs at all.
If I were pop I wouldn't play him next game, let him rest to game 4.

[orhe]

ask him to practice shooting threes 24/7

[ducks]

he is 75%

[aaronstampler]

it's true. He can't jump this year. Whatever injury he has, it's a lot more serious than last year. Last year he could dunk on everybody. This year he just shoots lay ups and floaters and hopes they don't get blocked.

He's afraid to really jump hard because it seems every time he does, the other team makes a concerted effort to knock him on his ass.

[Mavtek]

He's not playing a shitty defensive team???? Whoo HOOO Vbookie winnings!!

Scary, without Manu the 4th ring won't be coming to SA

3 1/2 days has got to be enough.

3 1/2 days won't be enough, there's something wrong with him this year.
I think I watched almost 99% Spurs games this year, and Manu played like this almost every game. The last time I saw Manu was against Miami "Katrina Game" when he got hurt, and after that everything went down hill.

This is sure not the Manu we all know. This is some of the worst I've ever seen him play. I noticed he has no lift at all and can't even dunk the ball when he has the opportunity too. I've also noticed that he's scared to do anything with it other than to pass it or shoot a three (which has seemed to fall very short). One thing I remember hearing Pop say when asked if Tim and Manu were ready for the playoffs he said that Tim was pretty much ready for the playoffs and he seemed to track off and say that Manu was less ready and that they have to just move on and play them. Looking back on that I'm curious if he's still not healed :(.

what happened to the aggressive manu that attacked the rim from start to finish. Now he can't even get those 3's going.

Pray he doesn't have something like Lou Gehrigs disease, because I'm at a loss when it comes to his game. This is nowhere near the Manu we have seen for the past 4 years.

And Saturday is another game, stay tuned...

[dieman8686]

Those flops man, they really are hurting him from going down to the floor too many times. He should at least find a better falling technique that makes it safer on him... :angel

[leemajors]

they aren't running nearly enough plays to get him going. more pick and rolls would help.

[RON ARTEST]

maybe ron artest is still in his head.

true thoes flops hurt but bring manu off the bech and put barry to start...we need all the help of the bench if were going to beat the mavs in 6.

[Sense]

Manu has blowed.


Nothing to be said.

[SuperManu!!!]

I think manu must be told to lead the offensive. He doesnt feel as confindent as last year. Also, teams learned how to defend him

dude is just missing shots.

[rayray2k8]

He just hasnt been able to build up any momentum, and this goes back during the season.
Everytime he seemed to build some up, he got bit by the injury bug. Which is the current result you see him playing right now.
Its a tough break for him, but the spurs will live.

[Spurs#20]

He isn't getting the ball as much and when he does, is always the same play, isolation and going for a layup
