Buck Harvey: Even after the block, a Spurs edge remains

Antonio McDyess said he was open. So open, he felt like waving.
“But I didn’t want everyone to see I was that open,” he said.
This often happens to the Spurs coming out of a timeout. Someone is open.
It didn’t matter this time. Manu Ginobili didn’t see McDyess, and that fit with Gregg Popovich’s night. He was fighting food poisoning, yet had to swallow defensive breakdowns, Ray Allen’s shooting stroke and the first losing streak of the season.
But if there is a reason the Spurs can believe things would be different next time, it’s because of what Popovich might draw up next time.
Next time, maybe the Spurs will need more. Kevin Garnett continued to be out of uniform because of an injury, yet the Celtics still displayed the balanced efficiency that has taken them to two of the last three Finals.
Only a breakdown by the Celtics at the end gave the Spurs an opening. Two Boston turnovers preceded Allen, who ended a night of uncommon shooting by even his standards with two free-throw clunks. This is what happens when you hang around Shaquille O’Neal too much.

Manu knows he messed up, Im sure he is still beating himself up for that...Luckily this is a REGULAR SEASON game and I think it is a lesson learned...I think Boston is a very good team with loads of talent and we played them very close the whole game...to me it says we can hang when the comp. gets tough...No need to hit the panic button just yet...
TD didn't pass the ball to Manu when he was wide open and could have created something else. instead, he went to Dice and then the play went to hell.
I don't think we actually saw the play that was called. i'm pretty sure that the inbounds pass wasn't supposed to go to McD, and that instead it should have gone to Manu, who would (should have anyway) gone to the basket trying for two or kicked it to Tony in the corner, who was wide open.
Blew the play up to 400% and Manu did get fouled. No doubt about it. The reason that Manu could not pass to Dice when he rolled to the basket was that Duncan rolled to the basket at the same time and dragged his defender into the passing lane.
Take your pick the non-call or Timmy blowing up the pick and roll.
