the phx game proved manu and the spurs are better when tony is off the court. manu is just way better at controlling the offense than parker and he showed it yesterday.

Hmm, guess you must have seen how great they played together against Indiana a couple nights earlier...

I was actually thinking that Pop didn't play THE BIG THREE together enough :spin

I disagree best players must be on court, I know TP isn't the best when he sucks, but the same could be said of Manu, TD and the rest of the crew.
I like TP running the game during 1st and 3rd, leaving Manu 2nd an 4th; but that not necessary means they couldn't be at the same time on the floor.

Just another example of jumping on Tony and Manu getting a free pass...
I love both of them but Tony can't have a few bad games after coming back from injury, without getting crucified.
But Manu has a bad game and its ok b/c thats the way he plays and we love him for hit.
Plus his last name ends in a vowel

Disagree...
Manu and Tony need to be on the court together more, so that neither feels like they MUST be the focal point on offense. Often times that results in either or both looking for their shot too much and forcing the issue.
Plus, having them out there together naturally gets them better shots for one another because the defense can't key on just one.
I do think it works better to bring Manu off the bench, but playing Manu and Tony together is not the problem, IMO>

ROFL. Ginobili has a bad game and of course it's somehow Parker's fault.

Wow how many fans would be happy to have the Finals MVP traded away from their team? Probably none. However, how many Spur fans would be happy. I'd say like 1/3.

Spurstalk throwing Parker under the bus again...
24 mins to each from now on then. Stoudamire and Voughn for the win.
Does it take much effort to be wrong so consistently?

I'd like to know how someone can blame Manu's crappy shooting last night on Parker... I don't get it...

Hmm, guess you must have seen how great they played together against Indiana a couple nights earlier...they play great together but better apart. pacers are shit and they almost stole that game. suns, a better team beat us. what stood out? spurs played best when manu was running the show. you must have not of seen yesterdays game.
spurs are better when manu is controlling the offense. manu controls the offense best when tony is sitting down.

I do think it works better to bring Manu off the bench, but playing Manu and Tony together is not the problem, IMO>the bottom line is manu is a wayyyyy better play maker than tony. tony tries to be the first option every time he brings the ball up the court. manu doesn't, he looks for plays and makes them happen.
you're right, ideally they both belong on the floor at the same time, but if tony isn't gonna be a pg then pop needs to sit his ass down and let manu run things. spurs play better when manu runs the offense, he proves this every game.

Universe of Jayem. Better> great.

I don't know what game you were watching yesterday, but if anything Manu was forcing things like a motherfucker. You chose a bad game to make your point buddy.

Manu running the offense yesterday is what put them in a GD hole

And unlike the OP, T Park can be critical of a bad game by a player without having to suggest that he be removed from the rotation or that the team is somehow better off without him on the floor.

tp has had bad games but yesterday was not the worse
he looked unthealthy and just shot jumpshots in first half
manu forced things
even manu fans say that yesterday
why does manu get a free pass but tp and duncan do not ?

From now on all the Spurs hating threads started by Spurs fans just for the sake of tearing down one player to pump up another are just going to get deleted or closed. That goes for Ducks, Rascal, etc hating Manu and the crew of you hating Tony.
Learn how to be SPURS fans or post somewhere else. The Tony vs Manu thread are tiring. If you having any questions, you can PM me.
