International roster
No, not really. People forget Beli did great last year and will only be better next year. So what the Spurs lost the majority of their games against playoff opponents early on, they still got the best record and won the Championship.
Spurs can defer to Diaw to do most of the playmaking off the bench. Like I said before the playoffs started, this year the Spurs weren't solely depended on Manu's bench play like they were in '13 playoffs. Spurs do need him, but they aren't entirely depended on him like last year.
I think Spurs fans should know by now Ginobili only has an on-off mode. There is no in between. When he steps on that court, he'll give it his all and that means playing his reckless style.
Well, he was only reckless a couple times this whole past offseason. Gives one hope that he won't be in two months time.
Spurs don't win the championship without Homecourt
& Manu fans are actually suggesting resting Manu for 1/3 of the season?!?!
Your boy should take a paycut then if Spurs are gonna play without 7M of the cap for awhile...
Like someone already said, Argentina doesn't care about basketball when the World f*cking Cup is going on
. This is it. Parker might as well play also.
I hope Argentina get blown out by 30 pts in the 1st quarter every game and the coach put the scrubs up for the rest of the game.
no, laughing at Italy right now
Parker ain't allowed to play for his country, according to ST. Only 8 can
As i said in another thread i am ok either way.
Pop has discovered this year a formula to revive a player that has been playing all summer (Parker). Give him a month off and let him get back to compe ion slowly, the Spurs wonīt need much from him on the RS and Belinelli showed that even if he canīt stay on court in the PO heīs great for the regular season and keeping Manu fresh. So no trouble there.
I say that Pop will manage Ginobili situation much better than other seasons, where he usually rode him early because he was more in rhythm than his teammates, making him a focal point to start the season only to latter realize that he couldnīt keep up.
I expect Pop to figure out a way to have Ginobili effective by playoff time weather if he plays this summer or not.
I hope most of you hope for me to be right.
Dammit!
One problem... Pop gave Parker 1 week off... With Mills on the team
Nobody ing knows what this roster will look like next year, and this bum is already throwing the season down the drain
Let's blame Spain 2014 if Manu sucked next season, not now.
He helped get number 5 so kudos to him and his wishes.
World Cup would have finished when FIBA Basketball World Cup comes. Football World Cup from 12 June to 12 July. FIBA BASKETBALL from 30 AUGUST to 14 September.
What a moron.
Per par.
At least we know now
that Gino will be missing the entire
2015 postseason.
Get's his 7m a year contract
from the Spurs,
and it's he all of sudden
gives the FO the finger,
and thinks he's 25 again.
Same dance,
same old song.
Football World Cup from 12 June to 12 July. FIBA BASKETBALL from 30 AUGUST to 14 September.
Btw Basketball is the second most important sport in ARGENTINA.
Maybe Manu knows Argentina will be in mourning after they lose to 'Murica in the WC
Ginobiliīs replaccement is Belinelli and he IS on the team. And this BUM is the second best SG of his era arguably. Just because you are a society that calls itself proud of your nation but disregard international representation that doesnīt mean that Ginobili should be criticziced for what he is rightfully choosing.
Take for example Parker. Who played 3 straight years for his NT, i didnīt see people ing around over here.
Manu has never played back to back tournaments for Argentina, he was always caution on not playing back to back summers (with the only exception being a 11 games qualification tournament argentina hosted) , so there is no reason to be ting about everything he does.
Argentina will manage his minutes too. He'll be nothing but a glorified cheerleader to inspire his countrymen, tbh. That will be his role. I don't know why people here are losing their over it. He's not going to play the minutes TP played for France last year.
You should change that to blue font, tbh.
relax clowns, I am sure Manu wants to celebrate his latest ring with his friends and teammates in the Argentinian National Team. He wont push himself, watch.
I'm not fat enough feed me more trophies
I'll be sending you a PM with my paypal info so you can buy me a new keyboard.
We're ed then. God help the Spurs if they think Marco can replicate Ginobili's production.
You clearly haven't visited Spurstalk in the past year.
and am sure he 'll push and inspire others to play better
Pop should just sit him until December to force him to have time off. "Your season starts on Christmas, Manu." Our depth can carry us first half of the season.
But I understand why he's doing what he's doing. His country and those national team teammates mean a of a lot to him. I can't criticize him for that.
