Right on the money.
I don't think anyone disagrees with this. If anything, the Spurs need to work him into the offense even more.
But, it's still going to take some time to pass that torch.
Right on the money.
Some dumb ass starts a thread to garner some attention and you all fall for it. Manu isn't the player he once was, but he's still important to the team. If Pop felt Manu was a liability to the the team, he wouldn't be playing him.
Skull-1, who is your favorite player right now?
Our big 3 is just not durable enough at this point... Manu needs tons of rest to play well...
TP too
I've never seen Manu that frustrated with himself... he has total lack of confidence in his shot... none of his layups were falling... he looked clumsy with the ball... The entire Blazers series has been bad-to-mediocre for his standards. One would almost think that he's hiding some sort of injury - even his gait looks entirely different...
That said, we wouldn't have gotten past Dallas without his stellar play in that series. Let me repeat that in a different manner, Manu logged well over his season minute-per-game average and still managed to produce a PER (>20.5) that was better than his regular season metric.
It appears to me that if Pop is leaving him out there it's because he's trying to get Manu to play out of his funk. Much like he did with Mills, Green and Belinelli - or even Duncan's top-of-the-key jumper to an extent.
I don't understand Spurs fans who can call themselves that hating on a player of Manu's caliber... who despite having one of his most forgettable series ever, never fails to compete wholeheartedly for the Spurs organization.
That's because the board is full off asshole-fans.
Two more years of this from him and it is going to get worse.
And yet with an aged core... they've made the Western Conference Finals for 3 consecutive years... I don't know how you can put up with yourself... Such a bitter pessimist...
Leonard by a mile.
Yep. Ugh... Guy plays stupidly and people clap like seals.
Luckily for him bricks and airballs don't count as TOs...
Except when Manu knocks the glass over...
I don't like the Manu hate. He's not nearly the player he was, but that's because he literally may have been the best 2 guard on the planet for a couple of years. We fans remember when, and unfortunately, so does Manu who sometimes tries to do the things he used to. Still, there are not many guards who can attack the rim like Manu can and on occasion he finishes like he used to. We need him to focus on ball handling and solid decision making and not think of himself as the Hero of the past.
Hopefully he defers more and more, which will allow him to impact the outcome in small meaningful ways.
Manu will always be one of my favorites of all-time!
Shut it, homer. Blind fool.
Great post! Yes, these jackass haters seem to forget if not for Manu we don't get out of the first round! All of these traitor haters need to GTFO!
The actual statement here is:
Shut it, Homer.
- Blind Fool
Skull-1 is a fool that went blind from jackin it too much.
I'm proud to be a homer! If anyone is a fool it's you! I'll bet you were out celebrating our championships that Manu helped us win but you suddenly have amnesia & focus on every mistake! Nobody wants to hear your endless hate of Manu! Like i said GTFO Hater!
I suggest all you Manu haters join TimVp in exile. We don't need your negativism. If Manu is as bad as you haters say he is, Pop would not play him as much as he does. I will go along with Pop every time before I agree with your dumb ass remarks.
How did that work out for us in Game Six? Moron.

He looks really really bad out there. Like hes running on fumes and needs oxygen. Lets hope the few days rest will work a miracle on his oldntired body
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that this probably isn't true.
