Bill and Sean are homers but at least they're knowledgeble. Clyde is atrocious in every manner you can think of.
give tp a break. he's coming back from 3 weeks off
Danny Green playing awesome D!

Stop being such a fickle ass fan and think before you post.
Manu really needs to be put at the end of the bench if he can't produce much anymore.
He has 3 assists... only second to Tony's 5...
I thought he defended well.. Harden is 2-9 right now, Manu checked him for half the game so far...
Manu's shot is still off though
BTW, Rockets announcers just said Neal is out with planar fasciitis... guess it's official now
oh okay, i should be happy when our pg makes a stupid pass and gives up 2 points. my bad
If it comes down to it, I'm alright with the spurs not winning tonight. Keep LA in det 8 seed spot where they will either be knocked out of the playoffs or play the spurs in the first round.
Of course, it'd be better for the spurs to win and solidify the 1 seed, but I won't be too upset if houston pulls it out
Well I said "clean looks." At least one of his assists involved passing to a reasonably well contested Boris Diaw who bails him out with a 3. I don't remember the other 2 assists, tbh, but I'll assume they were clean for your benefit. Either way it's quite meager for 13 minutes of play.
I didn't say the play wasn't worth criticism but you don't need to throw f bombs at a player who's been out for 3 weeks.
I think Manu is just in a little slump. It happens to people from time to time. As long as it's corrected by the playoffs, then I'm okay with it.
I think the reason his 1-on-1 defense looks suspect is because he gambles and then is already out of position when his man gets the ball. I can't say much about his offense; he seems to be driving right into, rather than through/around, the defense. Hopefully that's just him forcing things.
Meager for "all-nba caliber manu" standards, that is.
One of the other ones was that fastbreak dunk from Kawhi... that was a sweet pass, tbh...
He needs and can play better, not contesting that...
i get emotional, sue me. i will stop with the f bombs tho.
Should be good 4 POs
^
Yeah I agree. He's not getting around people all that easily with his eurostep (he doesn't even seem to be attempting his eurostep all that much).
Honestly if it takes forcing things for Manu to get back into rhythm, I don't mind him forcing things to find his way during the regular season.
I sort of wish Pop would tell Manu to "take 20-25 shots no matter what" for one of these upcoming games, just to see if that can help him get back into rhythm.
Dallas-Utah looks like a close game so far... not sure who I want to win, tbh
Then he'll be entering Kobe territory... 20 pts on 25 shots... not sure that's the wisest course of action, tbh... we still haven't locked that #1 seed...
well it's obvious Pop has adjusted his rotation and responsibilities. He has less responsibility now and usually in court with TP/Nando and does not handle the ball as much.
now it's on Manu to adjust his game
okc down 2 at the half
Well I mean I don't want him taking 20-25 shots routinely of course. Just for a game or two to see if that will help him regain his confidence.
As we've seen from previous shootaround/practice videos, his shot is just fine in practice.
I noticed that too... no more running him out there with Mills, Green, Blair and Bonner... tbh, that's a recipe for failure no matter who you are... let's hope his shot comes back... I think if he starts hitting in the 40%-45% range the rest will come to him...well it's obvious Pop has adjusted his rotation and responsibilities. He has less responsibility now and usually in court with TP/Nando and does not handle the ball as much.

Dallas has a better chance of grabbing that 8th seed from the Lakers than Utah so I would root for them.
