It's not even about closing games though. I'll be the first to admit that he played a well-rounded game last night. He set teammates up and he rebounded. Manu really didn't need to score.Quote:

Correct. The guy knows the game better than anyone else on TV.Quote:

I'm so happy to see Jax back. He loves this playoff atmosphere, nigh and day comparing to the SF who played with the #24
Manu doesn't bring the energy anymore? First thing he did in game 3 was score a pair of layups and dish Splitter a perfect pass in the P&R for another hoop.Quote:

I gotta say, the nba officials sometimes seem to have a vendetta against Matt Bonner.Quote:

I do sympathize with him sometimes and don't fault him at all for letting up on his physical play. Especially in cases such as this.

SALT LAKE CITY — The Spurs hadn’t run the play all year, but they knew what they were doing. That was clear when the Spurs came out of their huddle Saturday night at the end of the first half, with 3.4 seconds left, trailing by one.

Bonner getting two blocks was one of the more interesting things I'd seen. The block on favors was pretty legit too.
Played 15 minutes. Just right.
Who did Bonner block first?Quote:

favors got away with a lot of physical play on bonner, he even threw bonner away and bonner was called for the foul on one play
splitters block came on al jefferson on the low block
he did a good job of not going for the pump fakes and forced him baseline near out of bounds
he had to throw up garbage while falling out of bounds pretty much while splitter stood their hands up

If I were him next season when he gets one of those phantom fouls he needs to go ballistic on the ref....I mean just go off were you team has to hold you down..I wanna see slobber coming out of his mouth.... He does that that will end the ticky tacky shit calls he gets!
Not that I don't believe you, but out of the 3 shots I remember Al taking when Splitter was on him, 2 were swished jumpers, and one was a miss from the low block. Maybe it registered as a block and I didn't hear it. The D I remember from Splitter was about a minute or two in from him being paired with Tim, he switched onto Tim's man at the perfect time, and disrupted the entire play.Quote:

The first one was holding his ground on Burks yes.
