Pop needs to tell Manu about the rabbits
FYI - I do think Turnovers and offensive rebounds are the main reason the Spurs lost but they aren't likely to win any games with Manu playing like this. It IS a problem.
Pop needs to tell Manu about the rabbits
He took 4 shots... if he took 10+, then yeah, shooting 0% is a problem.

ElNono proving he is not only the most delusional person in Spurstalk, he is the most delusional person in Sports
so manu didn't have many turnovers, therefore his performance was ok, and let's blame the rest of teh team.
wow. Manu was ing useless out there not to mention he got completely torched in teh defensive end. He was slow, stupid and pathetic. He was the worst player in uniform out there.
How can someone possibly think Spurs have a chance with Manu playing like this, or even slightly better than this????
Manu is ing done as I been saying and he is just proving it tonight. He is HURTING the team at this point. Pop needs to decide to sit this guy. Play Green and Kawhi 40+. Play Parker 40% +. play TMAC. sit this piece of Argentinian down for good.
Manu shooting 0% is not a problem.
I've heard it ing all now.
He hasn't been able to get to the rim and he's not knocking down his jumper. Manu's passing is fine, but Manu is supposed to give us that x-factor scoring punch which was desperately needed in the 2nd half with Parker fading (likely as a result of the hammy)
no his passing is horrible. it's all over the place and all over the wrong places. his passing sucks too
Neither Corey or Neal can set up the offense. Corey was actually terrible tonight. And that's the difference: Manu's role isn't Neal's role. He isn't being set up for shots. He's basically the backup PG that sets the table for everyone else.
At that role, from the bench, he's good for another 2 years, with a smaller salary, obviously.
LOL @ thread le. Manu scapegoat as usual. Poor Manu.![]()

No Spur has been shown as much love as Manu over the past 10 years. Not Tim. Not Tony. But now all of a sudden he's the usual scapegoat and we should all be happy he shot 0% for most of the game and only had 1 TO.
His passing was great. Probably the best passer on the team, if not close #2... if other Spurs can't finish the play, you can't pin that on Manu...
Terrible passers don't finish with just one turnover against the top defense in the league, tbh
Manu Ginobili's Finals:
7.3 PPG, 28.6 % FG, 76.9 % FT, 20% 3PT, 2.5 RB, 3 AS, 2.8 TO in ~24.6 MN
LOL Gary Neal is supposed to get to the rim more than Manu? REALLY? Gary Neal took Lebron to the hole TWICE. Gary ing Neal!!!!! Manu took a step back 3.
This tbh. How the can you defend that ? One of the biggest Manu fans here and I gotta admit that was one, if not the worst, of the worst games of his entire life.
Manu needs to score but he's not going to make the shots he's taking. That pull up 3 for no reason is a wasted possession, he drives and he kicks to splitter who's the weakest 5 I've seen in a long time. He needs to take smart jumpers, drive and use the rim to lay up the ball. Create contact by really creating contact, go hard.
How can you see the computer screen to type out your posts with Manu's in your mouth?
That's because Neal isn't the PG. Miami traps the ballhandler. Watch the game, Manu and Tony get trapped every time on the pick and roll. Tony is just fast and can get away from it. Manu just isn't quick enough, but he does make the pass. Tiago had 3 dunks today on that passing alone.
Manu isn't going to be driving much at all this series if he keeps playing backup PG. That's why it's going to have to be his shot or bust.
Yeah, Tony can't get to the hole because he's a PG. PG's don't drive. Good point, El Nono.
Nobody is dragging down Parker in this thread but the use of as usual is funny considering that the goat scapegoat of ST is Parker. There is no way you can spin that one.
Manu had a horrible game, there is no ok game tonight, 0, he sucked. Parker game 2 sucked ass (i disliked a lot his flopping bs and lack of leadership). Manu game 4 sucked even more.
i don't remember such poor game in a decisive game from Manu ever and that's a compliment. Dude always delivered in decisive games, Parker sometimes ted the bed.
its over and Manu didn't deliver tonight. I never been mad about 2006, ever, tonight I'm disappointed.
Spurs don't win this series without him. He's one of favorite athletes of all-time. Manu gets one, TD gets one. Spurs can win this series.
He's #2 in assist in this team, and that's only playing barely 20 mins... fact.
Please post his series averages, Nono. Then tell me if that is above average player stats.
Why you keep ignoring what I type? I specifically said Tony is quick enough (he's probably the quickest PG in the league) to get away from the trap.
For you, the fact that Tiago got the ball underneath means that Manu made a good pass. It has never occured to you that pass is the exact one Miami wants Manu to make. Why? Because for them recovering to block Tiago is easy as ing . So no, his passing was not great. He played right into the Heat gameplan. Why do you think EVERYONE on the heat team was blocking Tiago's supposed dunks? You think maybe because they were keying on it?
But sure. Great passes.
Because what you're saying is completely stupid. Every other Spurs guard who played (except maybe CJ) got to the hole at some point in time. Manu? Nope. Gary Neal is slow as . Danny Green is slower than Manu as well. Yet they all made it to the bucket. The idea that Manu can't drive because he's starting the offense is one of the dumbest things I've ever read on this site.
