Only 1, tbh.

Only 1, tbh.
Zero. Pop going small has cost the Spurs at least two so far.
unfortunately if you really analize this series. If Spurs were to lose, Manu would have been the difference. Dude gets major minutes and handles the ball, plus 8 turnovers with 2 in OT???????
yes, he cost us this championship if we lose. But we won't Spurs in 7
I don't think manu cost us any previous championship imo
while manu has definitely cost us THIS le.....
Pop has cost us a couple himself with random bull .
him getting/being injured in the playoffs cost at least one more, maybe 2
I really liked that one backup PG that played for the Spurs in G6.
So that Manu didn't have to play PG, which isn't really his role.
What was his name again, Decolo, Joseph, McGradY.
I thought the contribution of that guy helped secure the le.
It may end up costing us this one as well. Pop is going to need at least 25 productive minutes from Splitter. TD/Splitter is our best Lebron deterrence. That's the whole reason the Heat are going small they can't score against us like that. In '11 Spoelstra hadn't figured out he could go small. Now he has.
He sure as heck didn't cost 'em that 2005 le vs. Detroit.![]()
In the three losses this series, the Spurs have a plus/minus of -66 when Manu is on the court.
When he has been on the bench in those three games, the Spurs have a plus/minus of +30.
Blaming a series loss on one player is too cruel (even Hedo, tbh) but, damn, a 96 point swing in three games?

For all the talk about Manu, if Kawhi Leonard had made just 1 more FT, the Spurs would almost certainly have won.
You get there with the guys that win or lose it. Of course they cost you the ring if you lose, but they cost you everything if they don't play at all because you never get there in the first place so these meltdown threads are really short sighted. It's been an every other game thing all series and for 2 series for Miami. We almost got 2 in a row, and they pulled it out in OT, but they have to be worried as well knowing Manu had the worst game of his career, TP didn't do so hot and our shooters were ineffective and we still almost won. They close out, we go inside, they collapse, we shoot the three, they zone, we attack. They know this. We'll see how the Spurs play next game, but the Heat are positioned to lose this game and tbh, the Spurs have nothing to lose, nothing at all.
Unlike 2006 the Spurs can beat teams going small. The problem is, Pop seems to think they can defend and rebound, which is profoundly re ed.
If we lose this one, I have no problem putting it on Manu, tbh...
3-1 is still great, IMO... wish even 5% of Spurs would give you that kind of 'ship return...
Kwahi isnt an experienced veteran who is the highest paid Spur player on the roster right now either.
I don't put any other series on Manu (although he's had moments...)other than this one. It's solely on his shoulders and alludes to what I was saying. I will never forgive him if the Spurs lose. I will respect him for all he is done, but I can never shake the resentment I will have towards him for what he's done this series.
This goes so far beyond due to the far-reaching ramifications of this series.
What was his "plus/minus" in that Golden State game? Until I see it, I won't know what to think of him.
only 1 (Dallas).
helped San Antonio with 3.

Injuries shouldn't count. I only count 06 and this one.
damm wade is only -53
what about manu hittign he has made free throws done strech in finals before not kl
The crazy thing is WTF happened to Manu's FT"s???? How on Earth can anyone explain that? He's basically gone from super stud to the most unreliable FT shooter getting minutes on the Spurs.
finally ppl starting to see the light
I been preaching this for months and been persecuted by the COM
by the way, is the COM disbanded already?![]()
lol gtfo, single plays don't cost championships, they're just what you remember as the culprit.
