Did we forget ow to dunk?

I would think slamming it in will get the foul plus the two for a made basket. We always go for these fouls then look at the refs all wtf when we don't get a call. Go for the sure thing, seems to me, and dunk it.

I totally agree, was just giving my observation on the play. It irks me whenever I see that last second hesitation to try and draw the foul. I would think a definite 2 would trump a trip to the line unless you are trying to put the other team in the penalty or know the trailer is someone in foul trouble. This was a last second shot though so I woulda loved to see a Manu dunk.

I liked the observation, don't get me wrong. It highlighted the problem, IMHO.

You're right here, too.

And Manu used to fire up the crowd with breakaway dunks off the steal. Seems like that horrid miss against okc in the WCF where he short jumped the dunk has scared him away from them a tad...

Don't you have some more bashing to do on Tim for getting a divorce?

The fact that you thought Manu could/should have dunked that ball, is concerning. Maybe 5-6 years ago. Nowadays, he needs a running start and also needs to time out his footwork to the hoop, perfectly. He didn't do the second part, on the break, which is why he couldn't even make the layup. It was pretty easy to see what happened.

An NBA star can't dunk at 37? I could do it at 40 and I am shorter than Manu by at least an inch and probably heavier by a dime. WTF? I have to think timing but I am not a professional....an NBA player should have that instinctively after 20 years playing ball all over the world. Holy smoke!

It's simple for Manu nowadays...if the footwork isn't there or a head start, he's not dunking. Spin it however you want.

Stop. You're reaching and it's embarrassing. You know he can dunk.
