Take us to five, Supermanu.

he's gonna have the series of his life

I hope he doesn't bring his twin Turnobili, tbh.
Shoot it Manu, just shoot it.
Changed my avatar to Manu just because.Quote:

Damned straight. People talk so much about Wade showing up and how Miami will be unbeatable if that happens. But I'd take Supermanu over 100% Wade any day. He's healthy enough to have a big impact. Let's hope the ten days of rest will make him even better.
Chills...Quote:

#20 will prove haters wrong :flag:
A return of vintage Manu in the finals would be one of the greatest moments in my Spurs fandom (assuming we win the series of course). One can only hope. :toast
Probably not going to happen. There is a long list of things that will probably happen before SuperManu shows up:
-Timmy drops 25 and 15 throughout the first two games and the Spurs split
-Lebron shoots under 45%
-Tony Parker figures out the pick and roll traps
-Danny Green continues his hot streak
-Matt Bonner hits a meaningful 3
-Tiago outplays Bosh
-Battier fined for a flop
Or you could just believeQuote:

I want to believe in Manu. I absolutely know Manu can play his best basketball in the biggest of games. I know he has more desire than most of the Heat players combined. And I know he is going to give his all on this (possibly) last title run.
That could be enough for some vintage Super Manu moments. If anyone can will a big game out of an aging body it's got to be Manu. Do it Manu.
He said that the break has allowed him to feel the healthiest he's felt all season, so I believe.
That's kick ass news. This series will be a million times better if he can play the way he was born to play.Quote:

I would be comfortable with seeing 2009 manu..

I find it interesting that both Duncan and Parker have said that they think Manu has been "coasting" and saving himself for a possible moment like this. I think he's capable of having a huge Finals series. I don't necessarily mean scoring the ball, but his playmaking could be huge in this Finals series. I'd run ALOT of pick and roll with him and Tiago with shooters out on the 3 point line. One thing is for sure, with all the talk about this being the last possible trip to the Finals with this core group of Tim, Tony, and Manu, we know they are going to leave all out on the floor and do everything they can to try and win this title....
Nope. He was injured for a couple of games. He didn't deserve it. Although I wanted him to win it.Quote:

I just want to believe that for every good play there were not three bad plays leading up to that play.
I know Manu is one who goes 110% all the time but maybe he has been holding back a little. I certainly feel that he could drive the ball alot more than he has been throughout the entire playoffs.Quote:

IIRC, Manu pretty much stated in an Argentine newspaper article recently that he had been coasting during the regular season.Quote:

If Bosh has a better series, Spurs have not chance (unless Kawhi ups his game which is unlikely due to his 1st finals)
Agree. Bosh'll be the X factor.
Manu will bring it all and leave every fvcking ounce of it on the hardwood. Have no doubts!!!:ihit
Damn, you gotta be pretty damn good to have everybody saying you're playing like shit and still post a PER of around 20.
It would be wicked if he came out with that long hair. I think that makes those vids that more impressive. I cannot stop looking at the hair. His shot has been short and struggling. He honestly does not need to score 20 but if he drives and dishes then it will work out for the Spurs. He is always a threat when on the floor.
My faith is strong.
YES, now we need him most of all! Forget the first three is right! Although without his play in game one being that shot against GS we are not here today! Go down 0-2 FORGET IT! So yes his play was bad for the most part but without that shot we are not here.Quote:

LOL manu is easily the most overrated player in the entire playoffs.
Good grief
As Manu says, "Never underestimate the heart of a champion"
Manu will do everything possible to win.
In an interview in Argentina asked him to basketball practice Manu because you money, glory or passion??
And he said
1 - Pasion
2 - Gloria
3 - Silver
Manu is a true champion and will leave life on the court!
best for Spurs
greetings from Argentina!
Let's hope he remembers that come contract time!
Well if he has the series people hope for, he is going to need to get paid.Quote:

Have no doubt that his next contract will not be the same and lower his salary
Actually it was:
1-Pleasure
2-Glory
3-Money
Manu is such a question-mark. He has the opportunity to become the most beloved hero in SA history IMO with an epic finals series. He's the one that can be the great equalizer. That is the single most nerve-wracking thing to me about this series.
Should be fun :lol
I remember that sick block Manu had on Wade. Our 1-3 spot players collectively are really talented shot blockers. Spurs need that and they need them to rebound like beasts.
We've gotten this far with Ginobili playing way below average. If he plays anything like he used to, we'll win big. Otherwise, we'll just win. All this "have a shot, or have a chance" talk is bullshit. THE SPURS ARE GOING TO WIN! What is it with you people? There is NO boogeyman.
Manu my man, this is it, the last one !
I fully expect Manu in Olympics form for this final.
I Will Advise the NBA to Check the Spurs for PED Abuse in case there is Any Shenanigans From Dinosaurs Ginobili and Duncan

“I think I’ll tell you after the first game,” Ginobili said. “Because I haven’t played them this year, and I don’t really remember playing them two years ago. So to understand what you’re going to do, you have to feel it, you have to live it.”
Same if Wade comes back into game after halftime, in which he struggled in the first half, and plays well. Got his knee "re-taped"....Quote:

There was a whole LOOOOOOOOOONG thread with pictures detailing a (fake) soap opera-like love triangle between the big three. I think it was back around 2005ish. LOL It got pretty funny in places.Quote:

Manu is 35 years old, obviously not going to have the level of 2005, but has more experience and willingness to always help the Spurs hopefully get another championship.Quote:

may the deceased body of Ginobili come out of the grave for 1 more dance
fuck the haters
We can dream big that's what moments like the finals are all about!
I think we all know how he's played-we know he's been turnobili and inconsistent mixed with flashes of old Manu.
But he's had a hell of a long rest, he says he's feeling great, he's the winningest player if you include international and olympic play. I mean the guy knows what it takes to win and he can go balls to the walls-it's the finals.
:flag: Let's Believe in Manu one last time for old time's sake. Here's to you SuperManu!!
Manu has made me curse his name this year more than any since he's been a Spur. When he's been bad or off, he's been terrible. But even through all the no look turnovers, off-balance - falling backwards passes, insanely bad 3 pts shots...he hasn't stopped playing his ass off. He gives everything he has when he is on the court and still wants to win more than anything. So...even if he doesn't score like he used to, I can always count on him trying to take a charge, keeping the ball movement going, snagging big rebounds and making the defense play honest.
My concern for game 1 is shaking off the rust. Hopefully the fresher legs will prevail at the end. I don't care how small the margin of victory, I just want the Spurs to win. Just win. It starts now, and not when we get back to San Antonio for the 3,4 & 5. Start winning now.
Still making bad decisions I see like tonight during clutch time but at least he did a little bit more good tonight. I really miss the old Manu :(.
really good game by Manu tonight
those p&r plays with Duncan and the pg duties with the second unit were great
Disagree.Quote:
