FUCK IT-I'll just hire a 5 dollar midget. Considering she might look like you it might cost 10 but it's worth the investment to kill you and shut you up.

Come to think of it? I don't think even a midget would fuck your ugly ass mom. Nevermind.

Look is pretty simple wait till next season if Manu does get injured or his level of play decreases, trade him. Remember he's an expiring contract next year, moving him won't be too hard, even if injured. But to trade him not knowing how good he'll be is just stupid.

People like you like to yap yap yap and forget that he had his best playoffs during a season where he played for Argentina the summer before (2005). We also won in 2007, he played just fine, and he also balled the previous summer. The summer before last, he didn't play any ball, and he still got injured at the end of last season. And what did he have to prove? The guy simply wanted to defend the title they obtained the previous olympics. He had to have surgery either way, which he did and then he recovered perfectly fine. Then he suffered another injury on the other leg. Tough. Injuries happen. They happen to everybody. Sometimes they happen at inopportune times. Just ask Boston, who are in pretty much the same boat.

What I'm trying to point out is that people are bagging on him like he has aids. The guy is 31 and has not missed a postseason in 7 years. He played half of this season. But now he's injury prone, his body is breaking down, and we should trade a guy that was the Spurs top scorer, 6th man of the year, and 3rd team All-NBA just last season for pennies on the dollar because "he'll never be the same". The least you can do is give the guy a chance. If he gets injured next season again and the FO decides to trade him, then so be it. But some people here are acting like he lost games on purpose, or took a hammer to the fibula and injured himself. Truly a pathetic display.

Bashing Manu is really out of hand. You don't think he would have given anything to be out on the floor? Injuries happen. Whatever the circumstances, it's grossly unfair to trash him for being injured, considering how much of his heart, soul and guts he's poured into this franchise over the years.

manu misses a playoff game for the first time + spurs get destroyed without him = Trade Manu.

good logic.

ridiculously unfair to say that. I'm a Manu fan, and this series has got me so depressed I haven't posted for like a week...

Having to see the Spurs going down to the Mavs and then coming in here and reading all the bullshit that that creates is sometimes too much.

For clarity, when timvp says "Manu fan" he isn't refer to everyone who likes Manu. He's talking about people who aren't fans of the Spurs and whose only goal is to praise Manu and bash all others along the way to make Manu look better. You know what type of Manu fans, I'm talking about.

Not exactly moronic. I'm sure those type of Manu fans are pretty happy right now.

Of course Manu wanted to be out on the floor. Nobody's questioning his desire, but rather his judgement.

And yes, injuries happen - that's why playing in the Olympics was an unneccesary and foolish risk.

Well, the Olympics are more important than an NBA season and they are only every four years, so it was an udnerstandable risk. Guys, Argentina could also have been angry with the Spurs for letting him being injured in the Playoffs last year.
Or they could be angry now as he planned to to play this summer for his NT in order to focus on the Spurs.

And yes, he's won a lot with Argentina NT, but he also won three rings with the Spurs, so why should a fourth title be more valuable to him than defending Olympic Gold?

Parker will play for France every summer at least till 2012, he could get injured. Will then everybody bash him for letting the Spurs down, too?

For all of you bitches blaming Manu, fuck you! :bangIf anything, this shows how valuable Manu is to the team and how much having him covered up alot of the weaknesses this team have. Without him showed those weaknesses! I didn't hear anyone say that to Timmy or Parker when they played in the Olympics! Nobody got on them for representing their country! Anyway, we have to get rid of alot of the dead weight Bonner, Finley, Vaughn to name a few!

:tu I'm a fan of Manu but not a Manu Fan. To figure out if you are a Manu fan, it's pretty simple. If you are happy right now because the Spurs got eliminated and "proved how vital Manu is", then you are a Manu Fan. If not, you aren't.

And yes, it's extremely lame to blame anything on Manu. There's no doubt that he would have been out there if possible. There's no doubt he'll try his hardest the rest of his career to bring a fifth championship to San Antonio. The guy is a warrior and one of the top winners in basketball history.

That Glassy Bitch!

Yeah, and fuck him, he was born in 1977 and he landed in SA en 2002, too late. We lost 25 straight titles because he did not get here before.
Screw him! Fuck him!:bang

It's not so much that Manu played in the Olympics...it's that he was injured and should have taken the summer off to heal. Instead, he just made his injury worse.

Manu Ginobili will come back strong. So will Tim Duncan and Tony Parker. I would like to see Drew Gooden get a chance to be in the rotation next year. The future is bright. The Mavs will still have no titles. The Suns will still have no titles and we can start over fresh next year. The season is over. Let the league have their Cleveland/LA final which will be a media lovefest for LeBron and Kobe. I may watch if I don't throw up after hearing how this is the greatest final since Bird vs Magic and all the "who is the real MVP?" talk.

It would be so funny if the finals ended up being Orlando vs Denver ! Stern can't let that happen though.

Fairweather fans. The only positive thing about this season is that it'll hopefully drive all the whining bandwaggoners away.
