As I said in the Boston game thread, this is just a CIA Manu ploy to spend the holidays with his kids... Non-Issue.
I hope Olympics Manu will be back for the POs maybe I am crazy but I do believe that with a rejuvenated Tim dominating on D and O and Tiago progress this team has a shot to at least the finals. This team is much more ready and equipped for a PO run than last year IMHO.

Good read. Once I read the headline and saw TIMVP had posted it I couldn't wait to read it. I knew it would be good, and it was. I am concerned with Manu a bit, though the data does show we improves the team. I almost wonder if it is a respect/fear factor of opposing teams. They still believe he is the Manu of old so they respect what he could do. He still draws a lot of attention.
I would like to see Splitter start more often/get more minutes. If we can't get another big man, Pop needs to bring him along, LIKE NOW! Isn't there a good chance Splitter leaves after this season anyway?
Diaw. The numbers prove what the eyes have been saying. He just doesn't seem to be doing anything real awesome. It seems he is hesitant to shoot and he obviously has never been a good rebounder. His D is average. Nothing going with him.
Green. Well, the eyes don't lie, neither do the stats. His D seems very sub par compared to the past 2 seasons. If he is just a spot up jumper and isn't taking away opposing scoring, obviously he isn't helping us all that much.
I can't wait for Leonard to come back.

This is utterly fascinating, might be a silly question but do the coaches go into it this deep?

Ho yeah. They get into this stuff at a level deeper then we could possibly do, even if we devoted all our free time to it.
