how is it spinning to say it was a great look and a bad shot???
Pretending he always shoots the 3 like that is terrible though, he's actually been shooting the 3 ball great this season, despite that shot.
Embarrassing shots happen to every player, tbh, that's no spin. Like I said, I would prefer the Spurs not to have to go to Manu on offense to close the game.
Manu has been great but I am afraid his season is reaching the end. Cant blame him, hes got a 40 year olds body.
but sadly Im afraid he will be on fumes or in a suit come playoffs
He'll definitely be running on fumes by the playoffs and Pop will overplay him. Book it.
This.Imagine if Parker had hit the side of the backboard on a wide open game winner off a perfect pass from Kawhi
this place would be sending their troops to stalk his house
I'm not the biggest Parker fan, but I've tired of the forum's hypocrisy (mainly from the helmet crew) regarding this situation. Their favorites like House, D-League, Manure, and fatass Diaw last season are simply above criticism, and any ty game from that lot will inexplicably be spun as Parker's fault. If House and Manure could've simply managed 33.3% shooting tonight, we win.
But Parker took 15 shots
But still rely on him to make plays in the 4th qtr.
First of all, if you think you're the better team and you're playing at home, you take the highest percentage shot you can get, and live with OT. When I saw Pop sub Lee in for Gasol, I really thought he was calling a play to get Lee a shot around the basket. He's a of a finisher from close. Just "hand it to Kawhi and let him create isn't much of a play.
Second, I've ed about Tony's sloppy, off-target passes enough times - I'm not giving Kawhi a pass. If he puts that ball in Manu's hands, instead of making him take a step toward the baseline to gather before re-setting to shoot? I doubt the shot comes off that bad.
Third - whenever Manu is finally finished, it isn't going to be because of a single missed shot. Silly thread le, if serious.
ehhh... Tony played well, that's why he played 32 mins... Manu barely played... 14 mins... yeah, he ended up in a situation where he took a terrible shot that could've won the game, but they're not really similar situations.This.

It's true that if you give Manu 32 mins tonight we lose by 20, tbh, but Tony is supposed to be the younger guy with the bigger role, that's why he gets the blunt of the criticism sometimes.
MidThis.

Tony is playing fine this season. A solid 11 and 5 on .525TS in 25 minutes.
Manu is shooting .290 over his last 5, but nary a peep from anyone but the anti-Manu trolls. Same thing with House. The Microwave has gone cold for about two weeks, but stone silence from everyone except the Cat Crew and me. House is beyond beloved by the majority and I simply don't get it.
uh? before this game, on the previous 5, he was shooting 36% (.500, .400, .333, .400, .143). He's been shooting 37% overall and 41% from 3 on the season.
Manu is playing ~18 mpg, playing solid defense, hitting his 3s (despite tonight) and having an overall solid season considering his age and limited role.
As far as Tony and his haters, he's having the same problem when Manu was really good, people ed that he would freeze him up, tbh...
I have had zero problems with Tony since he came back from his injury, he's been playing solid, IMO.
That's like saying, "If Kawhi could just make one FT, we win a Championship." Players miss shots. Manu is shooting 41% from 3P this season. That means he misses 6 out of every 10 3-pointers he puts up, and that's GOOD. , the best 3P shooter in the league right now misses 5.4 out of every 10 he puts up.
Manu missed a 3-pointer. . His teammates missed 14 3-pointers tonight - all of which would have won the game. His teammates missed 28 2-point shots that would have tied the game. Sounds like all of their careers are finished.

Manu and Patty had terrible games though... it's not about that shot, specifically, but they need to bring more to the table. Especially when LMA is out. No debate about that.That's like saying, "If Kawhi could just make one FT, we win a Championship." Players miss shots. Manu is shooting 41% from 3P this season.

Simmons was getting a lot of his minutes until the final play or two.
Agreed. And Manu is 39. What's Patty's excuse?
TP has more minutes than all of them and Manu gets the age excuse?
Yeah, even a worse time to put him in. Pop loves his comfy slippers.
Regular season:
Tony Parker - 35,332 minutes played
Manu & Mills - 31,418 minutes played combined
That's cool, but Manu came to the league a lot older than tony and with minutes in his legs too...
But that's besides the point. Manu is old. Patty is just more limited.
One of these days I'm going to get the official number, but I think Tony has around the 5th most NBA minutes played of any PG in history.
Insane durability tbh
Sucks he doesn't have the green light anymore. He'd easily put up Jeff Teague numbers at this age
A 39 year old Manu that had been playing bad the whole game and was on the bench during the run and then entered the game and took the last shot...no wonder he missed badly...it was like Terry Porter falling down back in the day. Manu shouldn't have been in the game.
No no no, Pop is smarter than you.
