If Manu's so hurt, where did his huge Game3 come from?
He's helped us win Championships, but he's cost us 2 Championships, and the Repeat.
Tony played fine, Tim did what he could, the game was about the boards and Manu not playing well,
Oh Yeah and that ing NO CALL
BULL !!!!!!!!!!

He made a few shots and the adrenline kicked into gear in game 3. Unless you believe the Lakers D is all world, (Which every stat out there says otherwise) i am going with injuries being the main reason Manu has laid 3 eggs in this series.
To say Manu's cost us championships is absurd.
One man can't win a championship just like one man can't lose a championship.
You want a championship in these situations, quit relying on old dudes to shoulder the load of a non 100 percent all -star.
If we had younger legs to step up, who have more than just a jumpshot, Manu wouldn't even be thrown under the bus.
Exactly. It's ridiculous to give him that much blame.
It's been a series for everyone not named Bruce Bowen and Brent Barry. Yes, Even Tim Duncan.
Tim Duncan has been fine. Like tonight, hes left it all out there.
I don't know why you are expecting a gassed player to just all of a sudden play like hes 23 again.
Manu didn't have any lift on his jumper all night. Even the one he made in the fourth was essentially a set shot. Something was wrong.
Trade Manu? GTFO!
The reality is that he goes to the bench, because Finley sucks coming in from the bench. Then he starts because Fin sucks as a starter. Other than that trey in Game 1 against the Suns, we've got nothing from Fin. If he would at least put 10 points, not unreasonable for a starter, he would relieve quite a bit of pressure from Manu.
if you can't see how this non driving Manu is no where close to the take it to the rim at will Manu, and then there's nothing I can say. But there's no freakin way the Spurs should ever ever make an injury excuse, especially with how lucky we've been in the past health wise.
He made some mental mistakes in the first half...
then again, the whole team played half-half, which is why we never capitalized.
Besides Barry, everyone made mistakes they shouldn't have made. Parker to Duncan, to Manu, etc.
Spurs lost the game just as much as the Lakers won it.
you know what ducks, you're boyfriend laid a big freakin egg when the spurs really could have used him tonight. Instead we had to rely on Barry when it's obvious Manu is nowhere close to 100%.
Damn you're irritating.
NO HE IS NOT
he just forget to arch the ball
HE IS HUMAN HE CAN SUCK
Manu should have learned from Kobe on how to play through an injury because he is a real warrior.
beakman sucked ass tonight.
Finley's liability and Pop having to hide him with Duncan and Parker because he can't lead the bench is really pigeonholing us this season. Manu needs a better BACK up if not , depending on strategy someone he can play in tandem with.
Finley has left a lot to be desired this year. He was more reliable last year.
tp did not lay a egg
9 assist 23 points= laying an egg![]()
He let us down.
I love the guy but I will always remember this year and how he let us down. Sucks he is so banged up.
You can argue that every series is "all about Manu"
He's the Spurs X-Factor, always has been and always will be. Parker and Duncan are going to give you the same stuff every night. Manu is the one who's going to be there making the tough shots when nothing else works. If he's not on his game, Spurs aren't going to win.
If you're hurt, don't play. If you play, don't make being hurt an excuse for incompetency.
4th quarter is what matters in my book. He stunk in winning time but you would have to remove your head from his croch to notice.
Pop should have benched him in favor of Brent all night. I put this more on Pop.
Seriously, Parker was far from the problems. Dude brought 23 and 9. If he brings that every night the Spurs win 99% of the time. Wake the up.
You don't bench your most clutch player, seriously, stop.
I agree with you, but I'm screwing with Ducks. Tony and Tim struggled down the stretch on O, but they were obviously out of freakin gas. I'm a huge Tony supporter. IN fact, he slowly becoming my favorite player on the Spurs.
