If Parker is out or way less than 100%, the Spurs will need very good to great games from Tim, Manu, and at least one other player. Could be Bonner, but I doubt it.
Easy win for Miami tonight. Parker will attempt to play but the Spurs are going to fall behind enough that he won't paly at all in the 2nd half. Duncan and manu will be sitting early tonight also. LeBron is going to come out with a big game. Spurs will not play with any sense of urgency.
Nice jinx thread for your team
Manu has not sucked lately some of you have such low basketball IQ
He has certainly contributed, but his dribbling has often been terribly sloppy and he's committed many turnovers.
Manu has been puzzling, though the reffing (mad reach ins allowed by all Heat players esp. James/Wade) and matchups have not helped. It's hard to tell Manu not to be Manu, as his passing has always been amazing.
One thing you can see with his couple of dunks last game is physically he has plenty left. That just leaves the mental part and execution.
From a BB IQ perspective Manu needs to drive more to the basket. Heat players have shown little propensity to draw charges, and we know the rim protection is suspect with their frail/undersized bigs. LeBron helping is their main rim protection as a result. That's just one more avenue to tire LeBron and possibly get him in foul trouble.
On Manu's passing, he needs to lean more toward the sound fundamental passes than ESPN highlight ones, especially in a close game. If we have some breathing room in the form of a big lead then fine, push the envelope with some blind behind back through the leg assuming the guy is looking/moving to a spot. If not, make sure the pass is one the receiver is very likely to handle. There are plenty of good passes to be made that are not risky or in Manu's case even crazy.
In short, a good pass in this series is not a high risk one, and given who we are playing the risk level is elevated. Don't play scared, but play a bit smarter and attack the rim!

Are you saying Manu has played well??
I'm not crazy about Bonner, but I have more faith when Manu is the one feeding or assisting him.
His dribbling was much better in Game 3
this...LOL @ The QueenMike Miller was the only reason you guys didn't lose by 40 points.
LeBron being secondary to Danny Green in scoring.
Dwayne Wade being a no-show in the second half.
Chris Bosh only shooting jumpers.
Ray Allen and Birdman as game changers.
I nominate this as the worst take ever!
