I don't know about the shot but I want the ball in Manu's hands when we run the play.
Tony Parker
Tim Duncan
Manu Ginobili
Anyone else not named Roger Mason
Got into a debate on the show this morning with Andy and Bowen.
If Spurs had 1 shot to win, who would you want taking the last shot?
Wanted to see what you peeps thought.
1) Tony Parker
2) Tim Duncan
3) Manu Ginobili

Mason
...why, the one that makes it, of course
Is this a public poll? how come i cant see who voted?

Gotta go with Manu. He has the killer instinct, and has a wider variety of moves. He can pull up or step back for the three. He can drive to the basket for a dunk or a layup. He can draw the foul. He can lob the floater. He can even make the crazy pass if he has to.
If you go into Duncan, teams can collapse in the paint and force a very difficult shot, or force him to pass out. He just doesn't have the same real estate or reportoire.
Duncan is our foundation. He's had his clutch moments over the years, but it seems like Manu is more prepared and comfortable taking that last shot. He wants the ball in his hands with the game on the line.

The last shot? Not sure. Last year I would say Mason, most people would say Duncan, Manu...not sure about Parker. As for who has the ball in their hands though, I pick Manu no contest because he can easily set up a game winning basket with his playmaking abilities.
no doubt Manu
He can shoot three, drive for a layup, and also a great clutch time free throw shooter
This poll shows spurstalk is still sane
Manu creates the shot TP drains it
Good post.
With TP / Manu and Tim we have 3 very good options (few teams have 3 players capable to do that on a good ratio). I really don't mind if one of the 3 take the last shot, the 3 are clutches and have some solid experience to make it. In parallel I feel a lot more confortable if Manu has the ball in his hand to run the play: he will find the open guy, the laser pass inside or he will take advantage of a Tim highscreen to go for a layup or to draw the foul. TP can also do that: less risk but eventually less reward.
Not even close

Kidding- Ginobili of course- no-brainer.
Ginobili!!!!!
give the ball to best playmaker (manu) or the best ball handler (tony) and see what's happening.
You want the ball in Manu's hands.
Spurs typically go to Manu in crucial situations from the Sonics game 6 in 05', Mavs game 7 in 06' ( End of regulation)/ Suns game 1 in 08'...I'm sure there's more, but those are the ones from the top of my head.
Not sure I'd like Manu to take the shot no matter the cir stances but I'd sure would like him to initiate the crucial play.
First instinct: Manu Ginobili
Although I feel all three are capable of being put in that situation and making the shot.
Ballhandling on a final possesion: without a doubt Manu.
Final shot depends on the matchup. Tony vs Fisher (instead of Manu vs Kobe or Tim vs Gasol/Bynum), Tim vs Jamison (or any other Cavs-F - instead of Manu vs LeBron), Manu against Pierce (instead of Tony vs Rondo or Tim vs KG). Just examples.
I knew the results when I say the thread le. No doubt Manu is our clutch guy. He'll make you scream at his rare mistakes. But you live and die with the Manu!
Depends on the matchup to be honest. Though I would pick Manu starting the last play for sure.
There is only one vote that counts. Coach Pop. And he votes for Manu having the ball in his hands virtually every time.
Manu...
I want Manu with the ball.
If he's open, I want him as option #1 to shoot it.
If not, I'm fine with any other Spur taking an open shot......even Bonner.
if we are talking about all things being equal open shot clutch shot..... it's Manu all the way.
Tony dribbles around and shoots 18-20 footers to end games...Manu ftw!
