I'm calling it now. Manu will break out

[DarrinS]

in game 3.


Prediction

22 pts, 7 boards, 4 steals.


Who's with me?

[Oh, Gee!!]

take those numbers and double 'em!!

[Doug Collins]

He couldn't do any worse than he has been...

[dreamcastrocks]

in game 3.


Prediction

22 pts, 7 boards, 4 steals.


Who's with me?

Not me. 4 out of 5 bad games against the Suns. According to you guys, he has been struggling much longer.

Maybe the crowd can hype up Manu. He'd better stop shooting jumpers, or he is going to continue to disappear.

[sa_butta]

Who's with me?Hopefully Manu is.

[ThomasGranger]

in game 3.


Prediction

22 pts, 7 boards, 4 steals.


to go with 5 assists, 1 block, and 17 turnovers.

[degenerate_gambler]

Re: I'm calling it now. Manu will break out


that's what i thought for game 2..

[BigBeezie]

19 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists, 3 steals, 2 arms flailed flops.

[Bruno]

Where is The Church of Manu when you need it the most ?

Manu is maybe a no show in this playoffs but his Church is far worse.

No Prayer thread ? :td

A Manu=Manure thread and no "I believe in Manu" thread ? :wtf

Manu without his church can't be SuperManu.
Without believer, there is no god.
You're the main reason why Manu isn't that good. Please, use the three days off to give Manu his Mojo back.

[duncan228]

2 arms flailed flops.

:lmao

[mardigan]

39 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals, 3 to

[Xylus]

12 points, 6 boards, 4 assists, 1 steal, 2 TO's

Ginobili will be more aggressive, but Raja will continue to frustrate him.

do they have doubt in manu now :reading :reading

[powerpower]

stop jinxing manu
uffffffffff, game three will be worse for manu 1pt (technical free throw b/c beno was laughing) 2 reb, 4 assists, and 4 to's in 10 mins:) OFF THE BENCH


(i am just kidding but if he actually has that kind of a game I’ll become psychic BOOK IT!)

[romain.star]

39 points, 7 boards, 4 assists, 4 steals, 3 to

101 points, 19 boards, 35 assists and he becomes the first argentinian to become MVP
oh yeah and he also discovers the AIDS vaccine :drunk

[powerpower]

hahahah man whatever manu does he cannot do it wrong .....why is he so loved
Is it because of his LONG NOSE or The BALD SPOT

[T Park]

I believe the breakout game was game 2.... against Denver..

Still waiting...

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

do they have doubt in manu now :reading :reading
:lol you're probably the only fan who actually enjoys these slumps

[Bruno]

I they doubt, they aren't true believers.
Maybe the Church of Manu was after all a bandwagon thing and they disapear when things aren't going well.

It's time to be in full support mode for the members of the Church instead of dirking. :rolleyes

[ducks]

dude I want a title this year
I wanted manu to get the finals mvp when they played the pistons not duncan

[AnkleBreaker21]

in game 3.


Prediction

22 pts, 7 boards, 4 steals.


Who's with me?
i hope so, if not we need the old finley with those kinda numbers

[lrrr]

Wouldn't be surprised to see Manu in the starting lineup come game 3. More plays called for him with TD to get him going.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

A lot of people said Manu was going to break out in game 2. Predict it enough times and he'll eventually have a good game.

[mullet]

if he gets over 10 pts ill be happy

[GrandeDavid]

I think he'll score in the 20s, at least. I also think he'll have a break out game. Its a Saturday night game, so no excuses Spurs fans. Get your asses there EARLY and stay on your feet throughout. Lots of noise, so don't just sit lazily and stuff your pieholes with beer and grub.

[SpursWoman]

I'm calling it now. Manu will break out

[Shelly]

He's gonna break out the Rogaine??? :lmao

[davi78239]

I'm calling it now, the league will decide the outcome of this series.....


Yea, I kinda still have that at the back of my head too. Stern probably wouldn't mind having a Cleveland/Suns Finals for the "Entertaining Purpose".

[dbreiden83080]

in game 3.


Prediction

22 pts, 7 boards, 4 steals.


Who's with me?

I think he will he had better do it in both games 3 and 4 we need him to start playing like the all star he is. Take it to the hoop Manu stop taking so many 3's.

[dbreiden83080]

Cavs have no shot at beating the Pistons no matter how lousy the calls are. Pistons fans really want a 2nd shot at us and i want to play them again also, they are a great team that i really respect.

[dbestpro]

in game 3.


Prediction

22 pts, 7 boards, 4 steals.


Who's with me?
Here's my prediction. If Manu does not havea breakout he will be traded to Denver along with Elson for Camby and Smith. You heard it here first.

[Spursfan101]

in game 3.


Prediction

22 pts, 7 boards, 4 steals.


Who's with me?

I'll have to see it to believe it...

[dbestpro]

I'm calling it now, the league will decide the outcome of this series.....
The league will pick Detroit and the Suns and give it to the Suns for the finals. LeBron and Cleveland are not ready for the prime time stage and would just embarrass themselves like Dallas.

[FilSpursFan]

Delfino is playing better than Manu right now

:depressed :depressed :depressed

[johnpaulwall21]

Finley will break out again for 19 and manu will have the amazing stat line of 6pts 4rbs and 2asts. :hungry: :hungry:

[stéphane]

after each game one of these threads pops out... that's funny
manu is a great player, indeed the more poor showings in a row he gets, the higher the probability for him to have a break out game in the next one ^^
if its not this one, it'll be the next...or the next..etc etc (or we're f***** simple as that)

can't agree more.....

[gilmor]

I will be extremely happy if he can get 12-15 points..

[powerpower]

I will be extremely happy if he can get 12-15 points..


me to...but after reading his quotes ..he has lost a lot of confidence and statistical analysis predicts that he will not have a good game at all...

[SpurYank]

Manu is too good to be absent much longer than he has been, The law of averages will come into play now. He has won every basketball goal there is to win, and he didn't do it by having a Raja Bell keep him from achieving it.

I'm not sure what he'll do, but my guess is it will be for the team to achieve. Who knows? He may give Oberto/Francisco 6 or 7 assists for a 12 - 14 point game that may make the difference between a win or a loss. Let's face it, Manu can score 4 to 8 points and still contribute greatly to a team victory. This is still a team sport. I'd hate for Manu to score 30 in a loss.

[DarrinS]

All Manu has to do to be successful is drive to the basket. I don't care if Raja is on him or not. And even if he gets blocked or misses a layup, he still needs to be agressive. That's the GOOD part of his game. Hanging out at the 3-pt line and faking penetration is not helping his game.

easier said than done

[Lady Marmalade]

He's just got to loosen up and play his game.

[Spurs rock]

Manu sucks! He's a one hit wonder. His 15 minutes of fame are up.

[smeagol]

I believe in manu

25/7/5

10 4th Q pts

[cherylsteele]

As long as he can make some key baskets, rebounds, assists, etc. I'll be pleased. I don't think he has to score all that much to be a difference maker. Sure I would love it but as long as he a big contributor in a win, I'll take it. It doesn't have to be points.

[Jimcs50]

This should help him, if he does.

[temujin]

3 points.

2+1 with 2'' to go.

95-94 Spurs.

I wanted manu to get the finals mvp when they played the pistons not duncanwho the fuck are you trying to kid ducks?? We post in this forum same as you, so don't try to bullshit us. Everyone knows you don't like Manu, and for the life of me I can't figure out why. The only reason I can think of is you're still stuck on the whole Tony vs Manu idiocy from 2 years ago, which guess what? makes you an IMBECILE!!

The church of Manu hasn't gone anywhere. We still believe in the man even though he hasn't been playing well. I can't speak for everyone, but the reason I haven't posted much lately is because I tend to NOT come in here after a loss due to the amount of MORONS jumping off bridges in this forum.

On top of that you have jackasses like ducks and others that are LOVING that Manu is in a slump because it allows them to run their mouths like they've never been able to in the past 3 years. They've always been haters, its just now they have more ammunition. To this I say enjoy it while it lasts, which won't be long I guarantee it.

as long as bell is on manu, ontop of manu having a mental breakdown. i really dont see him doing much this series.

look at the matchup between manu and bell since bell has been on the suns...manu has been straight up owend.

I hate to admit it, but I think you're right. The only good game Manu had against the Suns was back in Feb., when Manu scored 32 points, but Bell got hurt and only played 12 minutes. Spurs lost 103-87. :depressed

Its two games into the series. I'll do my best to recall this quote and we'll address it after Game 3. I'm willing to bet that Manu gets his on Saturday night.

[LilMissSPURfect]

In MANU we trust!

[nkdlunch]

this is true. Manu needs to overcome his mental issues. they are obvious. THis is the reason of the thread. Bell's defense does not worry me.

when is the last time we've seen Manu use a screen!!?!!?! :pctoss

[Bruno]

Saying that bell owned Manu is just false.

In 05-06, while Manu wasn't great during the regular season, he has had 4 good games agaisnt Suns and Bell.

In 06-07, Manu has struggles against Bell but you had to consider that Manu has had two slumps during this year. One in november before his back injury and one in april, 4 of the 5 games Manu has played against Bell were during these stretchs.

Bottomline is that when Manu isn't in a slump, he isn't owned at all by Bell.

[cherylsteele]

Not me. 4 out of 5 bad games against the Suns. According to you guys, he has been struggling much longer.

Maybe the crowd can hype up Manu. He'd better stop shooting jumpers, or he is going to continue to disappear.

You are right about the jumpers I think, especially all those 3's. Hr needs to get into the lane where he can create a little havoc like he has in past.

[VaSpursFan]

manu must remove head from ass and get in the game. find ways to contribute and let the scoring come in the flow of the game. he's just chucking jumpers right now. be the aggressor, attack the d, make the refs make a call. i don't care if you get your shot blocked 200 times. being aggressive always pays dividends.

[spursfan09]

Sorry Sun Fans but I don't think Bell is the reason Manu is playing bad. It started in the 1rst round. He is in a funk. He will be due for a good game. Also I have more confidence, because the Suns don't have anyone to keep Manu from going inside, since they don't have the shot blockers that the Nuggs have.

[DarrinS]

shameless bump

I told you so.

[cherylsteele]

[td4mvp3]

but is he back, though? manu was great, but he still needed nearly 20 shots to get 20-something points. i loved the drives and whatnot, but he's been so up and down this year, i'd hold off saying he's back to form.
