Bump.
Yes
No
and when it matters
Bump.
i take it back
Really, when Manu scores 26+ his teammates don't help him..
team lost, WGAF, tbh
Bump.
UP
23 FTW tbh
Of course Manu cares more about Manu scoring 20 than getting a critical win, tbh.
We're down like 2 points with a minute to go and uronobili's in the game thread literally giddy about the fact that Manu hit 20
how many were from flagrant, tech, and intentional fouls
solid win... but Manu can't keep carrying the entire load... still better to have him or this would've been easily a sweep
No
IMO we have enough of a buffer. Tony shot like today, as did Duncan, so Manu's nice effort was a good counter to that. As long as 2 of the big 3 play well we're fine.
Well, on this ocassion one thing came with the other, tbh. We should all be happy.Of course Manu cares more about Manu scoring 20 than getting a critical win, tbh.

There's no way that Tony isn't hurt. Mills is gonna have to step up again, which is not a given, tbh
I am. I'm very pleased with Manu's effort today and obviously the win.
this thread OP
IMO I'd have to say no tbh. He's been riddled with injuries this season, and he couldn't even get close to scoring 20 for the few games that he came back for (until...surprise surprise!...another injury).
I think it's pretty obvious that he's going to retire after next season when his contract is up. The 3 year/$40 million contract was a lifetime achievement award contract, after all. There's no way the Spurs F.O. will give him 2 lifetime achievement award contracts, and no other team in the league wants a TOSB. He's not a pure shooter like Steve Nash, and his passing abilities will be rendered useless once the league figures out that Manu's no longer a scoring threat, so he doesn't really have any skills that will allow him to stay in the league beyond the age of 35.
He can't explode at the rim with his "toothpick" ankles (lest he wants another stress fracture). His shot is pretty much gone after his hand surgery (you can tell by the way his free throws clanked off the rim to the left and right). If he plays any more than 15 minutes a game, he'll be too tired to make a 3 point shot, so that's pretty much gone. By Manu's own admission, this is without question Tony Parker's team now, so even if you disagreed with everything so far, Manu won't be taking 15-20 shots per game because he's no longer the first option (or second option...or third option IMO).
Taking into account the fact that Manu will most likely have another season ending injury next year, and taking into account the fact that it takes him 3 or 4 months to warm up and get in a good rhythm (which he doesn't have this season), I think it's a safe bet to say he'll never score 20 again.
So what do you think spurstalk, will Manu Ginobili ever score 20 points again?
