To put it simply, yes.
Ginobili is arriving in Argentina and doing a press conference, is this something usual or is he going to announce something important?
I mean, that pass to Neal was just unfathomable.
It's so ridiculously wrong that you could say, if this was a way to throw a game, this is how you do it.
This was the epitome of how he played all series.
Even if Neal gets to it somehow, it's so off target that the defense has time to recover easily.
And that was the most frustrating aspect of Manu's errant passing this series.
They weren't just cut and dry turnovers...
They were at critical moments when the game hung in balance. Self destructive. Heart breaking.
And almost always they did immediate damage, plus residual damage.
You know how Robert Horry would always seem to make a winning play, just little small things, that would seem to turn the game in our favor.
Manu was killing the team, just killing the team. I mean he was poison. Every game the Spurs lost Manu played bad in. Coincidence?
It was appalling and I still have that feeling. I'm still disgusted and sad over the whole event.
Of course I'm not moping around down in the dumps after all it's just basketball
and I have my own world that I need to invest energy and life force into.
Summer has been a happy time so far...
But I've stayed away from sports since the Spurs lost, but just seeing this clip
brings back those hapless feelings and emotions.
I really felt betrayed by how Manu played, not just having bad games, but being the reason why games were lost.
I don't think I'll ever change my mind, that's my perception.
I'm always gonna question if someone kidnapped a relative or something, cause it's the only way I can think a player of his caliber, could make so many,
bad plays at the worst moments.
They seemed so calculated.
Tim and Kawhi did not pay like shit, especially the last two games as they were the ONLY two to show up. Do not put Tim and Leonard near the same boat as Manu as playing like shit, Green too the last few games and Tiago or Neal. Parker 3-12 the last game. Tim and Kawhi the only reason we had a shot the last few games, period.
someone needs to dig up some old ancient hater threads. Still miss that one week when hater was just being embarrassed.
Nope win as a team lose as a team. No excuses.
Kawhi with the miss key free throws in game 6? Duncan missing the 2 bunnys in game 7? Even The great Tim Duncan said that moment will haunt him forever.
I blame everyone for us not having number 5. Even Lebron for showing up in game 7. If bron bricks half of the jump shots he makes that game the Spurs win.
But trust me I love this years team win or lose. Next season cant come soon enough. :toast
No they showed up, don't put this team on it when some did not even bother to show up. Kawhi is 21, he missed that rimmed out FT but his play was excellent! Ginobili missed that one before that and he NEVER misses FT's or atleast never used to, I expect a miss out of a kid before a seasoned VET. Tim played his ass off too, 37 and 31 and 17 in a game 6? He left it all out there to win the game, hardly a soul stepped up to help him though (Not even Tony till the very end). 2 Bunnys? LOL yeah blame him on the series after a series of TO's in the 4th by SOME players, he once again one of the few who shot well and showed up in that big game. If some show up the game is a different story, sides Kawhi though NOBODY showed up at all. Fact.
I do not blame those who left it out there and gave it there all, some did not play well and that is quite a few on the team in games 6 and 7 when we needed them. You can say they did lose as a team, but it seemed not all were there to help. I agree on Bron making all his shots, you can't turn the ball over like the Spurs did though and shoot 35% on the road in a game 7 and expect to win! I know it never should have gotten to 7 as game 6 was ours! The team was way too tired in game 7 and letting it get there was the mistake. Tim can say what he wants and blame himself as he is the competitor he is, the fact is he left it all out there and there is no shame in taht and I hope one day he sees that.
Next season I look forward to, the thing is I don't know if they can duplicate this season nor make it back there.
I seriously hate "ship" as shorthand for "championship".
The word "ring" also has 4 letters and sounds much less retarded.
