I'd rather watch the Spurs lose with Manu starring

[Amarelooms]

Manu will be a Mav next year....he already said he wants to play with Dirk and Kidd

[ffadicted]

I agree with whoever said that when anybody has a star game the spurs usually do bad. This team is at it's best when the scoring is distributed across the board, we're a team, not a one man show

[Thompson]

Manu will be a Mav next year....he already said he wants to play with Dirk and Kidd

The one place I'm sure Manu won't go is Dallas. He hates Terry, and probably a few of the others.

Plus Manu said he wanted to play for a contender...

lol when did he say that? if he goes somewhere else he will go to a contender, the Mavs aren't one.

[Amarelooms]

Sorry to inform ya'll homers but Mavs are more of a contender than the Spurs

[spursfan09]

Well it would definitly take someone like Manu who has heart and is not a choker to take the Mavs to the top.

[DAF86]

Sorry to inform ya'll homers but Mavs are more of a contender than the Spurs

Yes but they're still not a contender. I think Manu would rather lose in San Antonio than lose in Dallas.

[spurs10]

Hey everyone, it's Duncanlurks here, the Sun's #1 fan,...we'd love Manu in Phoenix!!

[TDMVPDPOY]

hahaha no u idiot

suns still have to resign amare or are they going to let him walk so they can sign manu then have no post player? FAIL....

Just being sarcastic about the so-called Mavs fan, Amarenashlooms..

How is Dallas not a contender? They've won 12 straight and are only 2.5 games back of the Lakers now.

I hope they crash and burn in the playoffs like most on here, but the fact is that Dallas has a very good team.

[roycrikside]

At least a certain segment of Spurs fans is happy with the season. TP out for the season is like a dream come true.

First off, he's not out for the season.

Secondly, it's really not Manu or Manufan's fault that Tony's had his head up his butt all year.

Thirdly, maybe Manufan wouldn't resent Tony if things like Manu having 0 FGA in back-to-back 1st quarters wouldn't happen so often with Tony running the show.

Seriously LJ, I'm so sick and tired of your pandering wink wink nod nod bull . You know basketball, you know how the game works and all you do is perpetuate this casual fan myth that somehow Tony is an elite level player and Manu's merely "pretty good" when really it's been the other way around for years.

The hardcore fans know. The hardcore fans have always known. Paint it as an Argentine thing if you wish, but it's plainly incorrect. It's not an Argentine thing, it's a "having a brain and watching the games" thing.

The team's own beat writers know. All the stat experts know. All the good GMs know.

Stop pretending you don't understand what the problem is on Spurstalk when it's been the 5,000 lb. elephant on the forum for the past five years.

Manufan will get upset whenever the third best player on the team denies the ball from the second best player on the team. It's nothing personal, it's just reality. What about it do you not understand?

Even on your own recaps it goes:

Tim, then Manu, then Tony.

As it should be.

Manufan, Spurs fans, and fans of basketball should all have similar interests:

The better, more efficient scoring, better decision-making players should have the ball more than guys who aren't as good. It's never been personal. It's just about basketball and common sense.

Seriously, quit acting like a child. We just want to win the ing games.

You are one of the biggest idiots on these boards, someone please ban this idiot already with his gay dancing pink elephant

Yep they are a very good team! That trade sparked them like crazy! They are a hot team and can contend for the West (Although I doubt they pass LA nor beat them in the playoffs). Dallas is a very good team, anyone denying that is just lost right now or in denial.

This has to be a very good troll job people. I mean, take a look people. Its brought out the haters and the Manu fanatics alike. Congrats, you all got trolled

You're seriously stuck on this ... still?? If you think the reason Manu hasn't been playing like he could for the past 2 seasons is Tony then you're either A) ing obsessed Tony hater or B) Not watching the ing Spurs play. Probably both.

How the is it Tony's fault that for the better part of two season's now Manu has been having trouble beating his man off the dribble?

ROFL. Seems like the coaches know who the second best player on the Spurs has been for years, since they voted one an all-star 3 out of the last 5 years and the other 0 of the last 5. The hardcore fans don't listen to the re ed ramblings of the morons who blame the team's #2 guy for every up numbers 3-12 have.

Unless Tony's stats are better, right, aaron?

The fact is that Manu's serious limitation is that he can't play more than 30 effective MPG on a consistent basis. The fact is that unless there's a Tony Parker and a Tim Duncan around to take the burden off of him for 85% of the game, he wouldn't come close to duplicating what he's able to accomplish during crunch time.

And the fact is that if Tony had a fabulous game against a D-league squad and the Spurs still lost without Manu, aaronstampler would interpret be interpreting things a lot differently.
