His shot is officially MIA.
He's fatigued or something but his shooting is NOT NBA level right now.
His shot is officially MIA.
and he should officially stop taking 3's - at least for this game.
it's officially time to panic. ginobili looks a s of the player he was early in the season.
TP saves the day. Manu with a wild shot. I am surprised TP didn't run the clock.
There was 5 on the shot clock. Manu's shot didn't even hit the rim.
shotclock was down to three the ball never touched the rim
shot clock was at 5.
Too slow.
Where was the shot clock at?
trade his ass... we still have time
Manu > Rainbows
From what I see, he is not mixing it up AT ALL. He is addicted to that 3 point shot. He needs to taper himself off that or just stop cold turkey. He is not taking it to the rim anymore and that is his forte.
It's not fatigue with Ginobili. It's not like he makes all of his shots at the beginning of game and misses at the end. His shot is fundamentally off across the board.
If I were a betting man, I'd say there's something wrong with his shooting arm (elbow? wrist? both? something else entirely?). I saw him wear some sort of brace on his shooting arm during a game a couple of games ago pre-all star break. He hasn't worn it since. What was that about?
Terrible outing tonight... no excuses. Surprised we won with him and Blair sucking a lot and Tony disappearing in the 2nd half...
His legs are under him. Something about his arm.
Our bench is stacked. We have Neal, Bonner, Hill, and Mcdyess clean the mess.
Manu's FG% is the worst it's been in 7 years but he'll be alright. He has had rough stretches that has brought down his FG% but that'll change come March and April.
Manu has always had these stretches where he can't hit a shot to save his life, he'll get it back.
cant hit a rainbow?
Most people forget that Manu was a mediocre scorer for the entire 1st half of last season..he had a very hot 2nd half of the season, where he carried the Spurs, and peaked into the playoffs..
He cannot be relied upon to play the role of a #1 option, for an entire season..he's not the best player on this team(IMO), nor should he be, he's too old to play that type of role..
It's evident that Ginobili is saving his body for the playoffs, where he will hopefully find some balance in his game, play inside the paint more often..he has clearly made it a priority to save his body all season, waiting for the playoffs, the difference was that his jump shot was extremely wet for the first month and a half of the season..
The best case will be for Manu to tone down his game, at least for the moment..last year in the 1st half of the season, he was having the best passing stretch of his career, and that's what he should do now..he should play the PG role and shoot less..the priority will be for the Spurs to clinch HCA, so Manu will be rested for the last few weeks of the season..if he gets the proper amount of rest, he will be fine for the playoffs IMO..
I think Pop should try to let him off the bench during few weeks
BTW, he got robbed of a double-double tonight. He assisted Duncan on that goaltending in the second quarter but didn't get the credit for it.
Wait till the money's on the table.
