Yes!
Well, Manu had 2 wonderful games in a row. He has increased significantly his points and steals. And he is playing wisely. He is starting to remind me last year's Manu.
Yes!
not yet but he's getting there.
No, I don't see him moving freely enough yet like he used to.
Either hes being conservative, or the ankle is doing that, both, or maybe he just wont get it back.
I definitely hope so. I'm freakin' anxious to see him play like his Manu Ginobili!
anyway, we'll know he's back when he buries a mavs team with a dunk then follows it up by beating a jazz team and destroys a cavs team that took the eventual champs to 7 games.
He seems to be moving a bit better, compared to a few weeks ago. So ye, id have to say yes, he is starting to look like the good old Manu.
he might not be the manu of old but recently he has been very helpful to the team. no doubt.
if he keeps this up? we might have ourselves a trade bait
hey its business
Manu for Camby? hahahaha
I would say his game is right where it needs to be if he would just stop trying to make the perfect pass. It seems he makes a geat pass about 1 out of every 4 times and throws it away the other 3.
That drive along the baseline and reverse layup says he's not crippled.
Consciously or not, he's probably still playing cautiously. As long as he helps more than he doesn't, OK.
he still needs to prove it with his third great game in a row.
and we are gonna expect his fourth wonderful game after his third one, and the fifth after the fourth... ... till he helps spurs win the championship again.
i don't know if manu is still able to become hot and unstoppable in a whole game or even in a whole quarter like he used to. he seems on the way to get back to it though.
but lately, he has been very useful for the team. Very very solid games with a lot of intensity and not much mistakes. solid scoring, decent defense in a team who struggled at it and not too much hurry to make decisions, good decision making.
Manu at this level, as a "super role player", behind tim and tony is really valuable for the team. if he's able to take fire as in the past, even better.
trade him now while he has 2 good ankles
Anyone who says "yes" needs to dust off their 2003 or 2005 Spurs championship DVD's.
That's right..
What do you mean... finally starting to play like he used to.Well, Manu had 2 wonderful games in a row. He has increased significantly his points and steals. And he is playing wisely. He is starting to remind me last year's Manu.
Let me remind folks that it's only been a few weeks since his return from ankle surgery. He is at the point in his season that most players are at just before breaking camp for the first game of the season.
I think those that have been impatient with him haven't been thinking it through.
GREAT! Let him play cautiously. The Spurs have enough weapons on this team that they don't need him to be a star player... until the playoffs. If he can take it easy and save himself for the second season, I say FANTASTIC!
But as the season rolls along, we'll see more and more of the Manu we've grown accustom to. Again, consider how long it's been since his return, and the fact that he didn't have a training camp this year like everyone else.
He definitely does not look the same to me.
wake me up when he is unstoppable to the rim. So far he's just another jump shooter.
Since 2006 he hasn't been unstoppable to the rim, so I don't think he'll be that kind of player again. But last year he had his best season (stats wise) hitting jumpers, attacking the rim when needed and playing smart, if he can get back to that form I'll be more than OK with him.
we'll have to disagree when it started. I think it started after game 1 against phoenix in last years playoffs.
without being able to attack the basket and finish or get fouled in crucial situations he's worth a whole lot less to the team.
