MEMORANDUM TO GINOBILI: WE ONLY NEEDED A 2 POINTER DUMBO.....

It's hard to keep up so we'll just have all the playerfan deflection threads here

Dabom deflections

Kawhi +11, Boban +6, Patty +15

We got the lead with Boban out there

ElNono deflections

NBA will send a memo tomorrow saying Waiters fouled Gino...

Kawhi can't get a pass for this performance, tbh...

Kawhi bricking two freethrows in the 1st half...

Got a warning from the mods :wow... gotta chill out

Ginobili was being a dumbass tonight.

Anytime you see Ginobili pass the ball to an area containing nothing but the other team, which happened multiple times tonight, you should just take his ass out. It's not 2004 anymore. He can't make up for his stupid shit so instead of being some silly stuff that happens on the way to a win it's just stupid shit that sticks out worse in a loss. Idk to be fucking cute all the time. Just make the smart play.

As for his pass to Patty, eh) he should have gone hard to the basket, but when he did do his little Ginobili cute shit, Patty should have attacked the basket.

Bottomline, the Spurs choked where Curry would have just made a floater in Ginobili's place, and if he did pass it off, Thompson would have just hit the three, even if they only needed two.

That's the difference between being fearless, talented and hungry and being old and panicky.

Oh well.

I give the Thunder 65% probability to win this series just because the Spurs lose their nuts against any team that plays aggressive or attacks the basket.

I thought Manu was one of the better Spurs tonight (outside the fact that Pop put him on Westbrook in the 1st half).

It's like getting fouled in soccer @ midfield, but ball deflects to striker for 1 v 1, he misses, then complains about midfield foul.

This

I thought webber overreacted to the non call, the spurs had a layup to win the game but passed it out. It was a great look from Mills but he couldnt hit the shot

Those multiple times tonight being 2 :lol

39 yeard old fart scored 11 pts on 5/8 shooting (third highest scorer) and even gave the Spurs a chance to win the game with his inbound pressure, yet folks are trying to blame him for the loss :lol

Danny makes the pass he has to make and Manu would have actually won the game. At 39 years old. In 22 minutes. After spending the entire 4th in the bench while others where shitting the bed. And you still find ways to spin this shit against him :lol

LA went out of his fucking mind but that only kept us close.

You're being foolish if you don't see red flags.

This damn team needs some toughness. Only our team WOULDN'T attack the basket there at the end.

I don't like the gay word, but that last sequence was sissified, finesse bullshit and we deserved to lose for our weak mentality in the moment.

That weakness, combined with a tolerance for stupidity to match OKC's, is what gives the other team the better chance to win.

It's the same dumb shit that cost us 2013:

Oh Tim, you had to finesse over Shaun Battier? Well that's just too bad. "You get nothing! You lose! Good day sir!"

no, i'm actually ok with criticizing even my favorite players without having to bring up ":cry but (insert player) also played bad! :cry"

manu played a good game but made a pretty poor decision with the game on the line. patty choked (not that he missed, but he completely whiffed. got the yips). leonard was pretty off offensively for most of the game except during the comeback run, and he took some poor shots late with aldridge cooking. duncan was dysfunctional offensively and wasn't even protecting the rim. the only thing he did well was rebound.

there are a lot of posters/fans who refuse to assign any blame to their favorite player and instead just start threads about everybody and everything else

They were all terrible in that sequence. First of all, they were better off just calling a timeout as clearly they had no concept of time left.
- Green with a shitty floating pass to Mills
- Manu should've really gone up in the paint
- Mills should've pump faked for a wide open shot

All terrible.

Tomorrow's NBA press release gonna be interesting.

Manu stepping on the line --> Under that scnerario I believe isn't a tech but a delay of game.
DWaiters pushing Manu --> Offensive foul.
DWaiters jumping to inbound --> Ilegal.

I don't even trust Manu to go to the rack in that situation at this point in his career, tbh... but, as I said in another thread, not really worried.

The red flags for me are Pop going senile for stretches and how badly we missed a good game from Kawhi... I think they're things we can recover from...

I'm ok with criticizing my favourite players too. Again, go check my posting history, you will find a lot of "get Manu the fuck up", "Manu sucked balls today" and posts like that.

Tonight he doesn't deserve any shit. Not for this particular play, nor for his overall game.

You should stop trying to pre-judging me just 'cause you see the Argie flag on the side.

But a player that does have a lot more weight than Manu at this point in time did also play badly. I'm not surprised if a 38 year old Manu decides to pass up on a floater over 7 footers. You can opine that's giving Manu a pass, and that's fine.

That not mutually exclusive with actually pointing out that another guy had a bad night. It's not deflection if that's exactly what happened.

That was a microcosm of the Spurs crunch time execution this season.

Manu also threw a fucking toss instead of a pass. :lmao

He doesn't. He attacked the paint and thought he wasn't able to get the shot off over Adams (he explained that postgame) so he passed it to the man that was the most open.

The main fault there goes to Danny for fucking up a 3 on 1. Then, a little less faulty but still pretty bad, Patty for rushing that shot. And then I guess you could make a case against Manu, but a really poor one 'cause, like a said, he made the smart play. Gather the attention and pass it to the open man when he thought he wasn't going to get a good shot at the rim.

Wow its refreshing to see a word choice like dumbo instead of the usual Spurstalk filth.

I agree but that list isn't very long.

I don´t get what some delusional posters are talking about here, it might be a scream for deflection if you think Ginobili should have taken this shot.
http://i67.tinypic.com/24340w4.jpg
Instead of the one he gave to mills, which was pretty fucking open.

If some posters do think Ginobili should have taken that shot then they should make a thread on how they would love Manu to take contested running floaters moving sidelines towards the rim and i would fucking laugh at it.

The play was correct, Ginobili was the only one doping the smart thing to do on that play because Green, makes a bad desition and a bad pass (the pass to mills should have been bounce and faster, or ball to Ginobili to create a 2 on 1 at the rim), then Mills gives Ginobili a shitty pass when manu was set to shoot, he has to go back to receive mills, and then Mills shots like shit.

If anyone is to blame is the team for playing so shitty all game long, but not Manu and not Aldridge individually, they were our best players.

Our Superstar played like shit, 15 million dollar man, played like shit and Duncan also, but Tim gets a pass caouse the team should not be relying on him nor Manu.
