ok
The kind of disrespect Pop gave to Manu makes me puke, he has loyalty to a scrub like Parker who obviously is done there is no problem at all keeping him playing to lose games when you have guys like Marco or Patty screaming to play and actually make things happen.
Manu instead is treated like a bum with no history in the Spurs franchise.
you Popovich, white uncle ruckus.
He didn't do anything special and Beli was feeling it.
The question is why Patty and Beli didn't play more.
I love Manu next to kawhi tbh. You can see him pointing to mills to pass the ball to kawhi. For fusksake I've never seen tony do that.
I dont care your ok sucker.
Manu was trash tonight. That said, he played even less mins than Patty (14)... plenty of scapegoating for this performance tonight...
Everybody but Beli, basically...
And yeah, Manu isn't coming back. No way he signs another contract to play 15 minutes per game.
Manu just needs to go away. Why does the ball end up in his hands at the end of every Damn qtr?!
All Spurs fans should watch game 7. If the Spurs lose, it's probably the last time Manu, Duncan, and Parker play together.
Yeah, putting Beli and Patty with 1 minute remaining was a total suicide Pop is an idiot.
Tiago is done too but no problem with him ruining the game either.
Can Leonard retire too. He's the only reason we lost.![]()
But how you think Pop handled the game? those unnecessary hacks a Jordan, too much Tiago, do you think Parker was good enough to play over Patty? putting Beli and Patty at the last minute when we need them 5 minutes earlier.
Pop gave the game away it was so stupid.
He was , the worst of it... it was at home there was no urgency for Kiwi other than rushing jumpers and bricking to build a house.
Nevermind
Parker is hurting the Spurs but there was no problem putting him 30 minutes.
I typed up something different before reading the OP. Pop's decision to not play our best pg infuriates me as well.

Manu really didn't look right tonight. I don't know if it's just age or if he has an underlying injury that we don't know about. Anyways he wasn't playing well and I'm at the point of benching him. By the way it's sad to know this could be his last home game.
Manu should sign for a vet. min. and play every third game. But I am sure that if he decides to play another year, this team will give him around 5M which is crazy.
Best scenario:
Manu retires and becomes Asst General Manager, or VP Basketball Operations
Duncan retires and becomes Asst Coach,.....
We sign Aldridge......
we snare Drummond or Hibbert.....
we trade Parker.....
Pop retires to get new coaching blood....
Aldridge and Leonard and Mills and Joseph become the future....
I was actually 100% with rolling with Beli this game, and Pop apparently was too. Gino only saw 14 mins (and no TOs, BTW)...
But it's really disheartening to see him out there without being able to give us a lift, that used to be his thing, tbh...
Look at it this way, next game might be his last game as a Spur...
