i hope he just stands in the back and stares at tony manu and tim :lmao:
That's surprising.
Yes!
He should thank Pop.
I hope they do an ad where everything looks really small in his hands. Him pushing the cart, holding a ham...
TP: "My cookouts are very exclusive, So..... Name?"
Kawhi: *blank stare*
They should have it where Kawhi can do what we all try to do: Carry all the bags in during one trip.
This should be good.
:lmao good for him, but I'm expecting him to be painfully bad.
Manu haters are going to say "WTF IS MANU STILL DOING IN THESE COMMERCIALS HE SUCKS. IF HE BREAKS HIS LEG WE WIN 9999999 MORE TITLES I GUARUNTEE IT."
Happy for the team... can be tough to land 5 year sponsorship agreements in this economy...
Lol he's the least charismatic player in the entire league, which is exactly why this will be awesome. When Tim and Manu retire it will be Tony, Kawhi, and Baynes :hat
Spurs and HEB go hand in hand.. HEB is 74# on the forbes list grossing several billion dollars a year..Quote:

:lol. Kawhi probably won't even be talking. I love the HEB commercials.
Nothing will ever top the Tiago and Neal with an SUV full of teenage girls commercial. The subtle innuendo (not to mention Gary's history), his creepy smile, and wooden acting made that a contender for greatest endorsement commercial of all time.
This will be good. :lol
I live in Eugene, OR, so I don't get to see these commercials! I'd appreciate it if the videos of these commercials are posted here after they're created. I've seen some on YouTube, they're pretty funny, I can't wait to see Kawhi on commercials! Maybe we'll get to see him smile.

I just hope that HEB keeps up the mystique and only gives him non-speaking roles.

^^best part of the best commercial imo
Maybe Leonard will surprise all of us with a great sense of humor. Can't wait for these bits...
I wish I could cut those spots so badly.
Winner...Quote:

I was just going to post something similar to Ringo.
Leonard's already part of the big 3, Manu is already demoted after last season imo.

:wow Were officially the big 4!!! That's a sweet pic! Fk what these other lames think, Manus gona have a good year this upcoming season now that his contract is in place and he has less pressure. I hope his role is reduced for Leonard's growth but make no mistake he is still rooted very deep in this teams soul and we need him here as long as Timmy and TP are still here competing for a title.
Lmao deleting Manu. Some of you need to chill. Manu was horrible last year in the finals! He deserves some ribbing but hopefully this year he redeems himself! And I think he will
it's easy to forget how Manu saved our asses in 2005 finals I guess.
Yea he sucked last season but some of you're still pretty emo about it. Go cut your throat's or something.
You guys really need to stop getting trolled so hard.
I love Timmy's rugged look this year. Definitely looks like he is determined to finish what we didn't last season! Oh and yes, cheers to the fuckin' Big 4!!!!!!!!!
The players, the ones who actually play the games haven't thrown Manu under the bus, I don't see what gives us fans the right to do so, considering we "only" root for the team. Yeah, he didn't help much in the finals, but he did help us win 3 more after the first one.Quote:

Criticizing and throwing someone under the bus are two different things. Don't get me wrong, I'm no member of the CoM. I'm a fan of the Spurs, first and foremost (okay, maybe I WAS a TD fanboy early on). What doesn't sit well with me is how people act like Manu doesn't give a f**k about what's going on. We all know how competitive he is. Sure, it gets under my skin how he keeps on doing things even when the opposing team's already on to him and the results end up in a repeated disaster, but that's always been part of his game. You can't take the good without the bad. As I said a couple of months back, I'd rather have 5 finals appearances, 4 titles, a couple runs that fell short and contending seasons than nothing at all.Quote:

Bonner will join the guys for one commercial. Matt was disappointed because he only
had one line. He will probably try to steal the scene.
Now that Gary Neal who will help Splitter sell Fords?
No commercial will ever approach the subtle creepiness of Tiago preparing to shut the trunk on an SUV full of teenage girls and a grinning Gary NealQuote:

They acknowledge The Big Four because the old guard, The Big Three, is on the decline.
And they are making the bridge, IMHO.
If you are going to make a statement then acknowledge that it is YOUR OPINION, and not a fact that you made up.
Say something reasonable that does not reek of blind obsessive hatred! Then we might listen to you and maybe even respect some of your opinions.
Just saying.
No offense intended.
The f*** you don't!! HEB has a HUGE "Hispanic" clientele. HUGE. The same reason they paint many of their stores in "Hispanic" markets in garish paint. It is an ethinic appeal strategy and it works. Manu is NOT part of a big anything except a marketing campaign. He is done. There is only one Big Four and that was with Bruce. The CURRENT Big Three does not include Manu. (The bridge take is a fair one, but I don't agree with it. The decline is Manu and Manu alone right now. There is no Big Four.)Quote:

None of us have a problem. The Spurs don't have a problem. HEB doesn't have a problem.
And the poll reflects the truth, that the rational greater majority of fans don't have a problem.
Rather it shows how obsessive, irrational, unrealistic, unreasonable, and unappreciative you guys really are!
That should be a moment of epiphany for you, but it isn't, so your credibility will continue to suffer and degrade until either nothing is left, or you come to your senses!
Sorry if the truth hurts.
You don't have to get all butthurt to the point of cussing about it.
It is what it is!
I used to do extensive survey taking in grad school as a GA along with all the other stuff I did with statistics and marketing. I am not in the least bit concerned by some flawed, unbalanced, biased, LEADING, statistically insignificant poll. I also do not consider "common sense" common. (Manu lovers are true definition of "fans" as in FANATICS. Blindly loyal. Unthinking. Stupid. People who live on hope instead of reality. They are the types who probably drive by looking in the rearview mirror.) The reason HEB keeps Manu in the damned commercials has ZERO to do with his CURRENT playing ability. It has EVERYTHING to do with marketing and prior reputation. THERE IS NO BIG FOUR because Bruce retired and your lame attempt to make it "stick" is laughable. Let it go. It sounds weak. The Big Three no longer includes Ginobili. The sooner YOU can accept that the better YOUR credibility will be.Quote:

:lmaoFuckin Neal reminds me of Dave Chappelle
I agree with that, it isn't unreasonable, and as you surmise it isn't the only reason.Quote:

I will always disagree with wild unreasonable, illogical, and obsessively hateful rants.
By and large most on here agree that the Spurs could and should have won game 6 if they had made just one more point or garnered that last rebound. Thus they lost as a team because Manu was not the only player out there playing against the Heat.
Now the haters are alleging, no, flat out claiming that had he not been there then the Spurs would have won more rings.
This is so stupid that it ranks among the all time ignorant claims in this forum IMHO.
Yeah I agree, some of my homies TGY and Skull take it too far and I don't agree with everything they say but at least half or more of what they're saying is true and they, in the beginning, were getting ripped for saying the same things I am and I think over time they just said fuck it and started trolling Manufan :lol
yeah i think they've taken it farther than i would, but as long as the Cult of Manu tries to silence dissent or rewrite history, the "haters" are necessary imo.Quote:

You can't just sugar coat it like that and say they are justified.
If you go back to when those two started posting their opinions, rarely anyone disagreed with them, myself included.
But by the tenth time saying the exact same thing, and putting it in every single thread no matter that the topic had nothing to do with Manu, smacks squarely on the head of obsession, narrow mindedness, and ignorance. By the 100th time it was intolerable!
And then whenever anyone at all had the temerity to disagree, they were cussed at, called obscenities, given the "tard" label, and made to look foolish, all just because someone did not agree with them.
That is unacceptable childish behavior and deserved to be defended and called out no matter who you are or where it reared it's ugly head.
It got to be so irritating and annoying and demeaning that even if you had half a mind to agree with them, you would disagree!
That is where things stand now. They should have never started it in the first place. Better yet, they should have shared their opinion just a few times, especially when most of us got it the first time.
I haven't taken it that far. Let's be real. My assertion is that Manu is not irreplaceable. TIM is irreplaceable. I will even go so far as to say that losing BRUCE hurt us way more than keeping Manu has helped. We have been DYING for a replacement for Bowen since his departure. Only the ascension of Leonard has stopped the mediocrity since we lost #12. (And the notion that the Spurs could not have won at LEAST two titles from 2004 through 2013 without Manu is not a stretch by any means.)Quote:

EXACTLY. Which is why losing #12 KILLED US.Quote:

It's more than I would, but like Leetonidas said above, I enjoy seeing you guys get them upset. I've made my peace that he's paid to sell the team to south and central Americans at this point. I agree that losing prime Bowen has hurt us the most than say Manu who has been reliably inconsistent the past few years.Quote:
