Manu is finished how embarrassing

[TheGreatYacht]

and your point is ? out of your subjectiveness do you have something to add on this topic supported by anything other than Parker does not dive for the ball, if you don't dive you have no mileage take ?

South Americans think diving is some sort of Medal of Honor. Just watch a Libertadores or Copa America game

Timmy d and Manu were "divers", Mexican NBA Champs/wc Champs/libertadores Champs = 0

Why would you put a poverty tournament like the Libertadores in the same sentence as those other prestigious trophies?

That's as stupid as saying Manure's minutes in the second division of the Italian league = Parker's NBA minutes

[diego]

You brought Libertadores up, Mexican teams play it, never won it, maybe because they are too good to dive and get their hands dirty

It's known they don't take it seriously. That's why they bring their B-Team/youth

Also why CONMEBOL decided to just take them out of it since they don't care

[diego]

They don't take much seriously beyond boxing do they?

[diego]

Oh and rooster fighting, sorry forgot about that

you did it, idiot

[TheGreatYacht]

you did it, idiot

I put Libertadres in the same sentence as the WC and NBA finals? Proof? Player fan from Argentina

[Leetonidas]

Yeah that was pretty bad. I don't think I've ever seen such a horrible brick from Manu in crunch time

[cd98]

It's always embarrassing anytime you hit the side of the backboard on a shot. That it happened on a game winner is particularly difficult. That said, I don't blame Manu. I don't think he should have been in the game. I understand Pop overly relying on veterans to win these games, but there were guys on the bench player better than Manu in that game and Manu is retiring, so we need to have the young guys get that experience. If we lose because Simmons misses the three, I'm okay with that. Let him have a shot. I guess if Simmons inbounded the ball and through it away, then I might think differently, but I do think there are players other than Manu that can inbound a ball in the clutch.

[Dex]

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.

Seriously. He was having to rush the shot to beat the clock, and was fading to his left in the far corner from nearly behind the backboard. He was wide open, but he just didn't have a chance to get set and it obviously came off his hand wrong.

happens, on the next one.

Comparing manus minutes to parkers is re ed. Nevermind that Manu played plenty of basketball before the NBA, find me one clip of Tony diving for a loose ball. One clip of him taking a charge. It will take you hours assuming you even find one. Tony plays on cruise control, his signature plays are floaters and fastbreaks. Manu is a warrior who constantly sacrificed himself, in coming off the bench and putting himself in harms way for the team, even today and at their ages Manu is still doing it while Tony never has and never will.

I remember last year, timmy diving for a ball poking it towards Tony and he couldn't even feign an attempt to get it, it's real easy to rack up minutes when you only play when the ball is in your hands.

Here.Took 25 seconds.

So any 39 years old rookie should play 36 minutes a game at all star lvl because "it's his first season in the nba, it doesn't matter he was pro for 19 years in another country"

First game 39 years old rookie, plays bad, score 0 points but but he is a rookie, he has 0 minutes played in the nba"

gots

Porker fans celebrating a manu miss.. disgusting.

Nevermind that Manu has always been more clutch than Parker..

I'm sure porker fans were more happy losing because Manu missed a shot than winning with manunmaking one.

[Horse]

Awful shot but he's been better than anyone expected this season. And will always be a guy who can hit that type of shot or get a key steal or rebound.

[Horse]

Seriously though even now, is there anyone else on this team you'd bet on to hit a clutch shot?

[TheGreatYacht]

Name me a player on the roster and I'll give you one I'll take over Manu

[ElNono]

so we have this:

-Manu excuse is he is old, leave him alone.
-Parker sucks and he has no excuse he is younger and has a bigger role

then facts say this

-Manu played 30,6 K minutes with Spurs mostly off the bench
-Parker played 42,5 K minutes with Spurs in the SL that's 12,000 more minutes... huge

Non biased now free of agenda view:

Manu indeed arrived later in the NBA and played more games with NT but a season in Europe is not even equivalent of half a NBA RS tbh. At the end there is no doubt that Parker played significantly more minutes than Manu during his career. Obviously tho saying only minutes count and age is not as relevant is stupid, age is more impactful than mileage.

Conclusions: both Manu and Parker are TOSB that continue to play their ass off for the Spurs and have very irregular production. Manu game is aging better than Tony's this is also a fact. Blaming any of those 2 for losing a game is ing dumb.

Both better than Kobe at their respective ages, tbh...

How many clutch plays not just shots has he come up with?

[Mr. Body]

It happens.

[spurs10]

Manu has been playing better than expected this year. That shot was terrible and I'm sure he is not a happy camper. It certainly took the wind out of almost 20 thousand people at the game and likely many around the world. I wish we were playing tonight.

[Pocho La Pantera]

Maybe Leonard.

[SAGirl]

not that bad tbh

Lol thanks for sharing... this was funny..

Regular season game. Hope Pop and Manu learn their lesson and give some of their young guns a shot.

Manu is right, it was a bad shot. However, time was expiring and the pass wasn't perfect.

The main flaw was Bertans should have been on the floor given that he has a better chance at a clean look. On the otherhand, Bertans contract isn't locked up.
