We should have signed Monte over Manu

[letmk]

Yes, and paid Hickson $4,000,000.00 instead of Splitter's bloated ass. Of course recommended this prior to signings but the f.o. was too stupid to build a championship.

Hickson, en, I don't know. Considering the cost, it may make more sense to have him over Splitter. But Splitter's defense is crucial to the Spurs and is underrated at ST, tbh.

But Iguodala over Manu at this stage is a no-brainer. Last I checked, LeBron and Durant are still the top 2 players, and if we can have both Kawhi and Iguodala on court, it would be the best defense you can throw at them.

the spurs are the most loyal organization in teh history of sports. when they KNOW a player has nothing left and is playing ty, they will not trade that mf.that's good AND bad thing because you can't find any organization that is loyal, but at the same time, if the mf has nothing to offer, give that money to someone that does..

To be fair though, how many times did Duncan touch the ball when Turnobili kept throwing it to LeBron?

Not that I'm defending Ginobili's Finals performance, but losing the ball trying to get it to a teammate is wildly different from Ellis's attempt to be the hero that game.

Hickson literally CANNOT play defense. Splitter is in the top 3 of big men rim defense shot percentage.

No. Monte is a volumn shooter.

Monta's career shooting percentage is higher than K. Bryant's. Look it up. And help me remember...has Monta ever played alongside dominant offensive bigs like Shaquille, Pau, or Bynum? So you tell me...is Monta underrated, or is K. Bryant overrated?

[PlayNando]

The Church of Manu has spoken.

You are a joke.

And probably another TGY troll.

Says the man without ideas. Can't win on facts. May as well try misdirection. Clown.

Comparing one chucker to another when their shooting percentages are 2/10ths of a percent apart.

My name is James Evans and the only reason I post is to talk about something that happened five months ago. I literally have nothing else to do with my life or to talk about on these forums.

I like to throw one of the best players in our history of the sport under the bus by having a gif made by TGY, and other jokes on these forums, yet I wonder why no one takes me serious.

This. Manu haters are annoying.

You KNOW you can't win a fact-based argument with me, so that's why you deflect and call me names like playnan . You are a real piece of work and a Fkn HYPOCRITE to boot. You are an AGENDA TROLL.

[TheCerebral1]

Monte doesn't care a lick on defense and while he is a scoring machine, he doesn't really play team ball. Pass.

[rascal]

Monte is more of an explosive scorer and is younger. Neither are good defensivly so that is a moot point and manu has become a liability with his turnovers.

[Matt194z]

Nah Monta worked perfectly into the dallas system with OJ leaving. Look at our shooting guard all he does is stand there and shoot threes.

I have kicked your sorry rear all over this board repeatedly. You're just an ignorant homer.

Prove it. Oh, that's right, you can't

And there you go again with your Alinksy Tactics (I threw that in just for you! ) as you attack me and not my ideas.

You don't have ideas. You have a disease: homerism.

There you go again with the name-calling. I'm a better man than that.

He just dropped 37pts, 8ast on Houston while shooting 72%

WHY WHY WHY DID RC KEEP THE BALD IDIOT WHY?!?!

[TMTTRIO]

Did we really need Manu to score? We have a lot of good scorers. Manu made his contribution tonight and you should know by now it's not all about scoring with him.

'Cause Monta cant sell seats to the "other" brown folks...

And Pop can't seem to tolerate black folk gettin' their game on outside the constraints of the system

Though he never seems to yank Ginobli when he's frequently stinkin' out there playin' outta the system.

Cutting Sjax was still the BIGGEST mistake of last season...he woulda given us more than McGrady LMFAO.....

[ElNono]

I thought Monta was having a great game until he tried that hero 3 pointer at the end with plenty of time on the clock and his team only up 2 or 3... Pop would probably tear him a new one

Ouch. He never yanks Manu when Manu is stinking up the joint, that is true, especially in the NBA Finals.

Sjax sucked, I mean really sucked last year. He was playing like game 6&7 Manu every game last year. He clearly hadn't gotten over his wife's miscarriage.

Knowing what I know now, would I have preferred Ellis over Manu? Yes.

Ellis is playing at an all star level right now and the Spurs need a second player that can create his own shot. We all saw what happened when the Heat shut down Parker in the finals. The offense just kind of rolled over and died. If not for a few fluke shots, Neal taking over a game, and the best 3 point shooting ever in the NBA finals by Green, the Heat would have crushed the Spurs.

Not only is Ellis scoring, but he's also creating shots for his teammates. He is seamlessly integrating into the Mavs offense.
