Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
:rollinAll these Spurs fans breaking their heads and trying to figure out numbers on how the FO can acquire AK47 or some other impact FA when all that was necessary was for Manu to take less $$$. Splitter is younger and has never earned big $$$ so he is excused. But Manu? He was supposed to be the savior. He was the one who is supposed to willingly sacrifice $$$ to try to give back Timmy his 5th ring that Manu handed to the Heat. :lol :lmao

I would be very surprised and extremely happy if Belli turns out to be good enough to be undeniably better than manu

Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
Man just when I was going to switch to another team they sign Super Marco
Tp + Beli will be the best backcourt in the Nba. Green coming ff the bench will just be gravy.
And Manu as 3rd string pg behind CoJo is not too shabby

Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
Give Pop props, landing Beli is very good move, must have been a rare, 4 leaf clover, sober moment.
Honestly, Spurs are lucky bastards to land a very good role player in Beli after overpaying/wasting 7m on Manu.
Won't matter a lick though if Pop decides to give the title away as some stupid training exercise to the other team...
AGAIN.

Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
Aestethically speaking, for a italian guy, he's ugly as a fuck, his face looks kinda like melted or something like that. Bargnani looks better than him, tbh. And Ginobili sounds italian to me. Manu probably has some italian background.

Yes, Manu is Italian by heritage. I thought every Spur fan knew that.

Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
As much as I like Marco's gutsy shots and play can he do Manu's nutmeg passes without turning it over?

If the OP statement plays out, then we will know our fan base has taken a step into a pool of dementia with a large dash of Alzheimer's.
Never forget what Manu has given us. Good and bad. Take Johnny Moore's jersey down and put two up for Manu.

Manu sure couldn't do those in The Finals, frankly... Heck, he was Miami's best passer. How many assists did Manu give the cHeat in Game Seven?

R u kidding? If crowd favorites are chosen by what a player gave to his team, Tim Duncan should be the crowd favorite by a million miles.
Let's face it, crowd favorites are chosen by many factors such as flair, name, color of the skin, etc, etc.
Manu was the white/brown hope of the fans. Now, Fat Antonians will see the real 100% Italiano Stallion blood running around and forget about the old Argentine Italian-wannabe.
Manu is a Fiat these days. Marco Belinelli is a Lamborgini.

this. except for the johnny moore thing. im mad manu threw away that series but you can never forget what he brought to this franchise. that's why it bothers me that manu haters think he needs to be fucking banished from san antonio. like if he was some scrub like bonner or neal. he ain't the same anymore but he has done more good than bad. any person who think manu should be crucified on the heat series alone should turn in their spurs gear
-
Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
Manu is now a scrub and if you think he's gonna adapt and stop throwing the ball into the stand then you're sorely mistaken... Pop isn't gonna tell him to do anything different either...
-
Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
Manu would be good if he stopped deferring the shot for a horrible pass when he's in he lane.

Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
not really. Manu's shot is gone. He shoots around the 30s now. that is good enough for towelwaver status
let's review. He's slow as fuck, terrible decision making, gambling fouling defense, and his shot is completely gone. yeah, let's give him 7 million a year

Good for you.
And Tim Duncan is a favorite (who said otherwise) and the best player to ever play for the Spurs.

Honestly, SA should have offered him 5 mil at most. Last year, he was only worth about $4 mil and it's probably safe to say he will be even worse this year. 5 mil would have been more than fair. But yeah, Manu got greedy and fucked the team over for the AK sweepstakes. Then we ended up using the rest of our capspace on a guy that isn't even as good as Neal(Belli) and a scrub bigman that won't make any kind of impact at all this year.

Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
Belinelli was a -20, manu was a +5.. just sayin..
-
Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
I'm glad Manu made a 'significant sacrifice' (per RC), and re-signed for pennies on the dollar. I think Belli hasn't overwhelmed yet, but it's already much more solid than Neal ever been. Ayers is a project, and I think he'll come around.
All in all, another offseason where the Spurs spent their money wisely.
-
Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
Manu looked slow as hell tonite. Wade is probably not the best person to test him against but he was doing that lackadaisical dribble to the backcourt from the corner crossover back to the baseline and Manu was flatfooted.
And ffs some teams take their eyes of there man in transition. The Heat do not. Beasley hasn't learned but Spoelstra has the rest of the team locked in on the passing lanes. Either force the issue then pass or fucking adjust and don't throw the ball into contested lanes. He is STILL doing that shit. Make them respect your drive or you just cannot do that anymore.
-
Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
defense wasn't there... but 13pts in 13mins is classical Manu... and 4 assists to boot, in a game Tony just didn't show up... Kawhi was beast and Belli was good too... preseason, nothing to get worked over about.

Like I said, they overpaid for him. Manu will once again play back-up point and fail come playoff time. Jarret Jack would have filled that role at a cheaper price.

Belli sucked against the Heat. Neal shot lights out. They're equally bad at defense.

An expensive project big that will spend most of the season in Pop's doghouse.

They played it safe and ensured they won't make it back to the Finals. A contending team should always strive to get better. SA always stands pat which is why they've never won back-to-back championships or even went to the Finals in back-to-back years. 2nd round exit.
-
Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
Well, I disagree. Manu is simply too valuable to this team, both on and off the floor. lol Jarret Jack
Belli has size, something Neal will never have. He already played as many good games against the Heat as a Spur as Neal did all last season. Ayers is a project and already an upgrade over Blair. The Spurs have options for big men.
Not making the Finals again wouldn't be any shocker. 28 out of 30 teams every season don't make it. Health permitting, this is another 50+ wins teams, which is in the upper echelon of the league. A lot of things have to fall in place to make it back to the Finals, but I think they can compete against any team. That's all you can ask for.

Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
Marco will allow Manu to go back to being Manu again.

This isn't 2011 anymore. Hell, even 2012 Manu was a pretty good player. But, right now, Manu no longer impacts the game like he used to. The On Court / Off Court stats reflect this decline for Ginobili:
2011: +13.3 net
2012: +10.0 net
2013: +1.8 net
You can laugh at Jack all you want but the difference between him and Manu isn't as big as you think it is.
-
Re: Marco will replace Manu as crowd favorite by end of 1st game f season
He had a bad year last season, but you don't throw such a good player under the bus after one bad season. He'll either get back to his level or he won't, but you give him the benefit of the doubt. The Spurs clearly did.
And no knock on Jack, but he ain't getting people on the seats. There's obviously a business side to all this too.

We'll see. I like this team chances. Two seasons ago we were having the same discussion ("no longer contender", "farewell tour", etc)
They might not make it as far as last season, but the last two seasons they've been a joy to watch, despite the heartbreaks.
