They barely got beat by a team that presented terrible matchup problems for the Spurs specifically. So yes, Manu was the difference.i didn't take notice, i was too busy chuckling at the level of a brain that would seriously think the spurs are contenders or count on manu ginobili to be that difference maker
I once won a rec league championship the summer after 11th grade.
I refuse to believe that this guy is a serious poster.
manu = difference in a first round playoff series, and that's about it
Refute it? They didn't take the gold? Did the stacked USA team take it? I'm just wondering...
Oh, so some of the best NBA players in the entire league didn't play for the US that year. Gotcha'.
They were the 1st seed. The Grizzlies were the 8th seed. They lost to the 8th seed. If they needed that much of a quality performance to squeak by the 8th seed, then they weren't destined for great things.
In East
1 NYK (Linsanity)
In west
1 SAS (Timmy)
I refuse to believe you would dedicate your entire profile on a sports website to a mediocre TV show.
Wait, so this guy thinks the spurs were winning hte championship last year before manu went down???
Kewni, I'm not saying you should kill yourself, but.....aw it, die already.
If by stacked you mean Stephon Marbury and Allen Iverson leading a mutiny against Larry Brown who had no idea what he was doing with Duncan ultimately quitting on the team and giving up completely, yeah, the 2004 US team was stacked.
It is all about matchups in the playoffs. Anyone who knows anything about the NBA will tell you that. Besides, this is the West we're talking about. Anyone can realistically beat anyone.
You gotta give it to HH. Start a thread only to set it up for your troll.
Well done sir, though you shouldn't have made him sound overtly re ed at times or he could've been joshdaboss-good
Can/Could Manu lead a team to an NBA championship as the #1?
yup it's all about matchups tbh, and the spurs lost theirs to an 8th seed
Man, this thread got derailed quick
That isn't what I'm saying. But I do know they were better than the Mavs last season. But again, it's all about matchups and the Spurs probably would have been dominated by the Heat. LeBron James is only stopped by mobile, shotblocking bigs 7' +Wait, so this guy thinks the spurs were winning hte championship last year before manu went down???

(and also when Stern decides he wants a white star to win another ring)
And when you give Matt Bonner significant minutes, you run into a lot of matchup problems
That's hard to answer since Duncan has always been their best player.
Matt Bonner definitely isn't the problem. Bonner is a very solid roleplayer. Yes, he's struggled in the playoffs, but he is, again, a roleplayer.And when you give Matt Bonner significant minutes, you run into a lot of matchup problems
With arguably their best player playing with a broken arm. I'm not sure how that's funny, but all right.yup it's all about matchups tbh, and the spurs lost theirs to an 8th seed
The Mavs beat the team that beat the team that beat the Spurs. Do the math.
