Manu was top 20 before he got hurt in 2008. He can't even stay healthy anymore. A rookie drafted in the second round is supposed to help a veteran team win an NBA le?

The Spurs last year won the Southwest Division and won 54 games.
This was without Manu Ginobili (a top 20 player). Without Richard Jefferson. Without Antonio McDyess. And with a one-legged Tim Duncan with Matt Bonner starting. Not to mention the steal of the draft DeJuan Blair ( if his knees hold up).
Lakers are still the favorite being the reigning champions. But to say the Spurs still don't have enough to beat the Lakers is such an ignorant thing to say.
The Spurs are officially back.

You guys are in >Lakers fart catcher mode.< Me thinks it's perpetual at this point.
I'm so scared now that the Spurs signed their 35 year old roll player. Oh noes they might get out of the first round now.It doesn't take you guys much to get all worked up into a frenzy and thinking you can beat everyone. First Dejuan Blair and now this.
Actually it wasn't completely without Ginobili, considering he still played what, 50 or so regular season games?
Furthermore it was a fluky 54 wins if I ever saw one. Bonner hitting game winning shots? Mason hitting game winning shots? A ridiculous record in close games? It was more like a 50 win team.
The Lakers shouldn't worry about the Spurs, they should worry about my ing Mavericks.
Just kidding, but my point still stands!
Spurs did seem to win about a million games in the final minute last season.
Manu is not even sniffing the top 20. During his prime he probably was the 25th or so best player in the league, and he's way past his prime.
Doublethread 2x more plze.
Hornets and Rockets were banged up quite a bit too. It all evened out over the course of the season. If the Spurs finish with a better record than the Lakers, they'd have a shot. You guys haven't really come close to knocking out the Lakers without HCA.

Yeah since they just added Antonio McDyess and kept everyone else?
Wow your clueless as well.
That's like you saying a Celtic fan is stupid for thinking their team has a leginament shot at the le next year. Since they just added a 35 year old role player.
Totally disregarding KG's injury ( Like you are with Manu Ginobili and the addition of Richard Jefferson)
HAHAHAHAHA, when Manu was MANU he was top 10 period.
He is the Rocky of the NBA. He had spurts in select games where he was on Kobe Level, seriously.
He is like some General that can ride into a losing battle and change the tide in an instance.
Yes, especially when he's a 1st team all-american as a sop re. He's just a small piece of the puzzle.
too bad manu is an idiot and played in the Olympics and has ankle bones made out of glass
your sig has herpes
No...just no
Allegedly
And i'm only arguing because th OP is an idiot. The Spurs will be a great team next year
I believe that was the laugh that Brady gave when Plaxico said NE was only going to score 17 points...NY proceeded to not only to beat them, but hold them to 14 points..not quite a good quote to use on that one, man.
Dude..even Kobe admits Manu is great at times...Kobe said Manu was his favorite player in the league to watch...tell me these performances aren't Kobe-esque..
No...just no
The guy has moments where he's the greatest player in the league. Doesn't happen every night, and when he's hurt, there's even less..but he does have them.
Ginobili was on Kobe's level in the Playoffs in 2005. That dude was possessed.
Another ignorant NBA fan that doesn't trully know the greatness of Manu Ginobili.
No...just no
And another one.
Ummm... Manu made the all NBA 3rd team in May 2008, a whole 1 year and 2 months ago...: http://www.bizjournals.com/sanantoni...5/daily32.html
The only knock on Manu is he can´t endure 82 games of 35+ minutes, so add to it that he´s unselfish to a fault and as a result the average ignorant dumb who does nothing but buy into the garbage fed by the media hype machine will probably stare in awe at the Marbury´s or Marion´s of the league while failing to appreciate Manu´s efficiency. But make no mistake about it, when healthy not many players can contribute to a basketball team like Manu does.Spurs guard Manu Ginobili was selected for the Third Team.
Anyone with half a brain worth of NBA knowledge knows that Manu would have made a huge difference. Thats not to say the Spurs would have won anything, but to deny Manu's effect on games is equivalant to you dont know about basketball.
Add RJ and McDyess and that right there concludes why Faker and Gayllas fans are so scared and having to create threads about how they are not scared.
