I've noticed it for the last few games even when he had pretty decent games. Last night was really bad. Hopefully it doesn't linger on.

Last night was the first time he has ever looked timid to me.

Thank God--and the TV ratings wars--for a few days rest

The entire team was afraid to shot jumpers. It was weird.

I watched with a Suns fan and told him afterwards that it didn't feel like a win.
I hope Manu sits on his ass for about 72 straight hours. Rest that groin up, dude, we're gonna need you for the Hornets.

In the first 3 games of this series, Manu had 24, 29, and 20. It seems a little harsh to be asking when he is going to show up.
That being said, I think Manu is hurting worse than they are letting on.
You know he's taped up, and there are times where I've noticed a hitch in his stride. As long as the Spurs have decent spacing, he's still been able to take it to the rim and finish.
Where I think you really notice it is on his jump shots. I've noticed that a lot of them are coming off extremely flat, and without that beautiful rotation he usually has. It's no secret that his jumpers haven't been falling lately. It could be just a mini-slump, but I don't think so. I think its about him not having his legs under him.
I know he made seven 3's in games 2&3. But on at least four of those, he had all day to set up, and he got a lot more air under them. But pretty much all the other ones he shot were painfully flat. I just don't think he would alter his stroke that much for any other reason.

Finley was even passing up shots that he always takes. When is Game 1?

I really hope he does not have any groin injury. I just got a groin injury yesterday and can't even drive myself to work. that shit hurts!

I hope Many massages Manu's groin because he needs it.
I think part of it was the early foul trouble. Took away some of his aggressiveness. He'll have 3 solid days of rest.
