    I don't think he's terrible. But from what I've seen this season he's clearly not what he was even two years ago. I think its funny that people are talking about now that Tonys the best player on the team because if you said that at this point in this season two years ago people would have thought that blasphemous. Manu was the man back then and has taken a step back. He just can't do it anymore; not his fault that he got old. He still has the skills its just becoming less and less frequent that he uses them or uses them properly.

    If we are going to win this year it's going to take a brief resurgence of Manu to do it.

    This!

    Manu's not as great as he was because he can't play starter's minutes anymore, silly people.

    To be fair Manu played well the last few games and people still expect him to take over all these games. People who still want him to be the old Manu and take all these games over are going to be dissapointed. Manu's at the point of his career where he can still take over every once in a while but he's more of a role player now. As long as he can work on not turning the ball over as much and finding ways to help I'll be happy.

    I thought he's been driving well the last two games... had crucial baskets against Chicago on drives and last night he drove on Portland too... his step-back 3pt shooting decision making is another story, tbh
    I was just going to mention this...he needs to cut that step back three out of his arsenal. It used to be his go-to move but he either can't explode backwards like he used to or doesn't have the lift like he once did. That and its probably been scouted to death.

    Tonight is a good example of the point that Jag and I were making in this thread, tbh..

    Ginobili wasn't a liability tonight, but the Spurs had success from distributing touches between Splitter and Leonard, rather than forcing Ginobili to run the offense on every play as they did in prior seasons..

    But there have been plenty of sloppy passes from Manu the past few months that have been very uncharacteristic of Manu. That and the FT percentage makes me believe that he's hurting somewhere or Father Time is whipping his ass with the white man's stick.

    I am scared for Manu's life.

    Pop's face is going to explode on him. Manu will take old man jaw shrapnel in the face.

    He's playing out of position, basically having to run the point, especially when Popsickle sat Cojo in the 4th quarter. When Neal Hero is out there, Manu is basically running the point, too.

    2 things coach pops loves

    1-wine
    2-playing manu at pg
    Indeed. I love Manu, but he shouldn't play PG. Too many turnovers.

    He looked uncomfortable being on the floor in the 4th and not being the creator and focal point of the offense. So what did he do? He tried to force himself into the offense and went full Roger Mason Jr. at point guard. He needs to let the O come to him.

    People forget that he's still trying to play his way back into form. He didn't get much overlap with Tony to ease back in before TP went down with the ankle.

    Manu is a rhythm player who isn't in rhythm right now.
    THIS X1000. The real liability, aside from Bonner of course, is Motherchucking Neal.

    I agree he struggled in the 4th tonight... Thabo is a good defender though. Obviously matchups will change in the postseason with Tony back...

    Well, what's our adjustment if Sefolosha wipes his ass with TP's face again?

    Well I really hope he decides that his family is more important and decides to retire at the end of the season before he gets any worse.

    I thought our bench played much better... Collison didn't do much and Tiago pretty much owned him, and don't underestimate what Jack brought to the table on D...

    Plus it helped Fisher and Kevin Martin sucked in the 2nd half...

    Lol at everyone hating on Neal
    Ginobili was the one trying to throw away the game
    Neal led the team in assists and he baited westbrook into taking 27 shots
    he won the game for us tonight

    Neal leading the team in assists for one game is a HUGE outlier...unless Pop has re-programmed him.
