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.

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?
How did he even know where to pass it?
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.

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.

The hustle and passes are contagious......
He'd better be a Spur next year!!!!!
Thanks for the giff! Well done!
