I agree with you on that, I never said NOT TO criticize Manu. He deserves the criticism. And I'm fine with that. What doesn't sit well with me is how people throw him under the bus. Criticizing and throwing someone under the bus are two different things. Don't get me wrong, I'm no member of the CoM. I'm a fan of the Spurs, first and foremost (okay, maybe I WAS a TD fanboy early on). What doesn't sit well with me is how people act like Manu doesn't give a f**k about what's going on. We all know how compe ive he is. Sure, it gets under my skin how he keeps on doing things even when the opposing team's already on to him and the results end up in a repeated disaster, but that's always been part of his game. You can't take the good without the bad. As I said a couple of months back, I'd rather have 5 finals appearances, 4 les, a couple runs that fell short and contending seasons than nothing at all.
