C'mon, we were watching the game. Stats doesn't tell the whole story. Manu was horrible, period (the whole series tbh) Splitter has been horrendous as well, but he's not getting paid to be a game changer
...he was ok. He handed Splitter 3 dunks right under the rim, and Tiago wasted them all.
This game was decided by the Spurs' 20 turnovers (of which Manu only had one).
The only criticism, IMO, is that he's going to need to be much more aggressive if Tony is gonna be hobbled. He took only 4 shots (until garbage time) in 20 mins. That's not going to get it done if we have Tony hurt.
But I'm sure people want to vent, so go ahead an crucify him...

I was watching the game... that's the assessment... I know it's trendy to pile on Manu on every loss... or some people expected a SuperManu game from him...
But the Heat is blitzing him on every pick and roll... he's passing to Tiago right under the rim, and he gets his blocked... that's not on Manu.
I do think if he's going to get out of that shooting slump, he's going to have to shoot more. 4 shots is not enough.
I agree, he had to play with Joseph who plays scared and Neal who is too loose with the ball, he wasn't in a great situation, Manu needs Boris at the 4 to help with the playmaking, not added pressure from playing with scrubs.
Taking off balance threes isn't a way to break out of a slump either, tbh.
He needs to score
Yeah Manu taking off the dribble 3s when he's shooting them below 30% is one thing that's pretty much inexcusable.
yep manu was terrible, just too old for these athletic nigs
Miami traps the ballhandler on the pick and roll. He's not going to be able to drive, so he's gonna have to shot. Especially if Splitter is going to keep missing right under the basket.
he was ok?????????????????????
nah. wake up
he was terrible
Splitter is the softest pussy I've seen. 7-foot man with a 7-inch vagina. Gets blocked by guards, gets stripped by guards, cannot rebound over smaller players.
He took only 4 shots... including the step back 3... if anything, he needs to keep shooting until he gets over the slump...
turnobili
yes Splitter is a soft pussy but Manu is not only soft but a stupid pussy. him.
Elnono with the goods. 100% dead on.
win or lose, i will always be on manu's bandwagon. y'all haterz!!!!
Spurs had 20 turnovers... Manu? one... but let's pile-on on him... it's trendy...
I agree! All of the haters will blame Manu, just typical assholes who seem to forget how many times he saved us in so many series and championships! When he's down, all of the haters come on this board and blame him! All of you assholes GTFO! All of them played bad! Too many turnovers and refs ing us all night was going to be difficult to win! Pop taking Parker, Green and Duncan out too early in the first quarter when Green was on fire shooting the three! We lost our rhythm and never got it back! We lost the lead and Splitter turned the ball over or got blocked! Took too long to bring Diaw back in after he got us within 3! I'm not giving up on the Spurs! Spurs in 6!
Manu 0-7 from 3 in the last 2 games, and they're all bad shots.
Miami runs and gets a layup off every one of his 3s
But he's making terrible decisions with the ball all-around. Tiago was horrendous obviously, but Manu finding him 2-3 times doesn't excuse his other poor passes, continued fadeaway threes, and stumbling into the lane out of control. He's just been terrible, no way around it.
No one is asking Manu to be Ditka Manu at this point of his career, but he's costing us game right now.
I NEVER on Manu but he was beyond horrible in game 4
Miami has no respect for his drive, he was infinitely worse than he was in game 2
Nah, this loss is 100% on Manu. What the stat sheet doesn't tell you is that the quality of Manu's 3 point attempts were so bad that they were effectively turnovers.
Let us also not forget that he can no longer execute simple basketball skills, such as dribbling, passing, etc.
I totally agree! As soon as Joseph came in, he turned the ball over! WTF!
Yeah he was ok
