You don't want a freeze frame........ball was out of bounds. :hat

Re: Ginobili diving save?
My man's shot wasn't going down tonight but damn he did everything possible to make up for it. You gotta appreciate that

Re: Ginobili diving save?
I jumped off my couch after he saved it, I just knew something good was going to follow that. Spurs just werent going to be denied tonight...this whole game was also a great example of how Manu's value on this team goes way beyond scoring.

Re: Ginobili diving save?
Very few players in the league can miss every single one of their shots and still contribute.

Re: Ginobili diving save?
LOL i just can't believe he nailed Hill w/ that pass. that's just amazing.
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
Man - that is SO awesome!
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
lol it wasn't out of bounds but it was a travel.
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
I thought it was a self-pass but then the replay from behind the play showed the ball grazed off of Dice's elbow. Manu really sold his body out and went horizontal on it, though.
If there was ever a play that was made purely FTW, it was that one.

I didn't see that on the replay but I figured after some of the calls on Blair we deserved one.

from a different angle it is clearly deflected off of dyess
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
the refs wanted to even it out after fouling out DB on some major BS :king
edit: similar train of thought Manny!
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
Last time I checked you can't pass the ball to yourself. Then again it could have glanced off of Dice but it so close that it's hard to tell either way.
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
Such an incredible play. Ginobili has a "ten straight bonehead turnovers free" card from me after det one.

Yeah, unless Dice touched it. Still was a play symbolic of who Manu Ginobili is and what he represents to this franchise.
:wow:wow:wow

Yeah, I was thinking similarly..."got away with that one.. but he was fouled on his arm on the drive...so it all evens out." Then, FoxSW showed one angle zoomed from the other end of the court (Spurs bench end) and that angle showed the ball skim off McDice. It was very fortunate, though.

No, Green swiped at it and hit it changing it's direction slightly and it then went off Dice.

It was not hard to see, it was so clear from the replays that the ball touched Mcdyess before manu saved it. Great play. Hope that sequence would be chosen as play of the day-wherein Manu saved the ball, passed it to Hill, an then RJ nailed the game-winning shot.

Like someone said here, the basketball gods are most of the time on his side :toast

That dive for the ball reminded me of Rodman's (Bulls) dive to save a loose ball. That was sick.
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
What's most impressive is how he 'no-look' saved it directly to Hill, where as most players would just try to keep it in bounds. In a split second he was thinking 2 steps ahead.
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
Even when Manu has an off night, he should always be in there at the end of a close game. He has what it takes and as Pop has said many times, without Manu we'd only have 1 Championship.
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
It was clearly off Dice's hip. Clean play. Great play. :toast

same here, instant reminder of that Rodman dive.

Re: Ginobili diving save?
It was obviously off of Dice's hip. One of the replays clearly showed the ball changing complete direction mid-air.

-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
The ball did hit Mcdyess so it wasn't a traveling call.
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
that was dope.
and it clearly changed directions, so definitely not a self pass.

Re: Ginobili diving save?
i watched the espn highlights maybe 40 times in 10 mins man i cant get over that play of manu one for the book baby manuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

0/18 last two game against OKC percentages definitely on your side Manu :lol

I won't be surprised if Manu starts to achieve an average of 10 assists per game come playoff time.
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
I think Manu should be more of a passer than a shooter. Manu's either on fire or terrible, and their is no in between.

Thanks for the giff! Well done!

Doesn't matter, as long as he launched himself from inbounds. That ball is live until it touches something or the ground.

They showed one replay angle a couple of minutes later where the course of the ball was altered. My guess is that it barely touched McDyess.

The insane thing is how far out of the play that took Manu, and after one quick pass to George, a swing pass to RJ, two dribbles and a shot attempt, he was literally waiting for the O rebound. I think the recovery was as impressive as the play.

In slow motion that play is even more impressive. How in the hell do you dive out of bounds, catch the ball horizontal, throw it to your wing player and save the game? It is one of the many Epic Manu Moments we as fans are lucky to enjoy..

He knows the plays, and there would be a man in the corner on that play. I don't even know if he knew it was George, but he knew it was someone. Big ups to Geroge, btw, for staying put, and not reacting to the bad initial pass/miscommunication btw Manu and Dice. If he freelances, that ball goes out on the side.

This, After RJ shot it I noticed Manu right under the basket and had another "WTF" moment. The first one being the actual pass. :lol
He got there QUICK!
-
Re: Ginobili diving save?
amazing gutsy play. seriously how lucky are we to be blessed with this guy. Hes 0-10 and yet coming down to the final seconds I still want the ball in his hands.....its rare a player can impact a game so much on a night when he cant buy a bucket.
tremendous win, bigger than the lakers IMO

So true I just noticed that. I guess everybody is realizing Manu is trying to put on his best steve nash impersonation out there. Everybody wants to be part of the next crazy manu play :hat

Re: Ginobili diving save?
Play of the year right there.
P.S.
FkLA, your sig is extremely disturbing.
Are you mentaly ill or just a rotten phedophile?

Re: Ginobili diving save?
Lol at those who wanted to trade Ginobili. He and Hill are my favorite Spurs. What Manu brings to the team can't be replaced and even when he doesn't score he knows how to help bring the team a W.
