Yup same view. But its good this season so far. Knowing Leonard, he probably went back to practise 10000shots a day after the 2013 miss
anyone but ginobli this season. this mf is bad for my health at the end of games.

you can bet on Manu missing at least 1 in crunch time nowadays.
LOL why did you have to go ruin it with Splitter in there? Leonard has been good lately tbh from what I have seen. Ginobili will do his annual one miss though usually at the end of games now, he used to be our go to guy and was ice from that line late in games but now he will surely miss one and it sucks. Parker is up and down.YEP, always one of two, you can just count it before it leaves his hand.
Yeah, six years ago
Both him and Parker. I dont want any of those 2 anywhere near the FT line in clutch time.
Parker was 4 on 4 in the fourth and hit a pair giving 3 pts lead 1'30 to the end
on this game going at him for last pair would have been the right choice vs. Manu imo
We always suck at free throws, but I never felt any fear when Splitter, Diaw, and Beli were at the line in the clutch of the playoff run last year...
I don't know about Green, he has blown many clutch opportunities in the past for us, but I would trust him over Leonard at the line any day. It really seems like Danny is at his best when we expect the least from him.
I haven't given up on Manu's clutch factor yet, yeah he basically lost us game 7 last year, but he also won us the Golden State series and the OKC series.
Manu is shooting 38% for the seasonhow can you trust him to make shots

Wouldn't mind Tony or Boris... also Beli is an option when he comes back, IMO
Yes bobo is a good bet too.... No risk he loses his cool![]()
I wonder if Manu's 4th quarter FT% over last couple of years is statistically significantly worse compared w first 3 quarters. Seems like he splits about half the time in the 4th. always a huge relief when he hits both. When TP takes his time at the line he is money. I really hope the team works on their FT shooting more. Huge part of the game.
Player will miss freebies, just the way it is. Last season, statistically our top 3 FT shooters were (with FTA > 30 to remove small samples):
Patty: .89
Manu: .85
Marco: .84
So, yeah, when you wonder why Pop still goes to Gino, he's just playing the numbers.
Should be the go to 3 pt shooter in the clutch tbh..
So long as it's not Manu, it shouldn't really be a problem.
Parker, Kawhi, Green, Belli, Diaw are competent free throw shooter.
I think even Splitter would be better than our shooters in the last few games![]()
Diaw 1/4
Manu 1/2
Danny 2/2 in that final minute
and of course Enrique in post game interview
"Danny is a great clutch shooter right"
Tony: "Yes me and Manu take off all the attention off him getting him open shots"
But Manu wants to be your hero![]()
Prescient prose Pop's coming around they wasted no time inbounding right to DaddyGreen
Yes I was thinking Tim would go 1/2 and MANU surely would go 1/2 and then the other team goes and hits a three. Danny sinks both and the other team hits a three and you are still up 2 after that, then he calmly sinks two again to put them back up 4. The other team hits a three after 1-2 with the others and only down one, then they foul and whoever on our team splits again and then they hit a two to tie it and go to OT as it seems on QUE. Danny hitting those was huge, not one miss and ended it.
So glad to finally find the one to go to in the clutch
