    I feel the same way...One all-star in at all times -- I think Brent has a good head for Spurs b-ball and he is cool and confident - two things needed in playoff time so Manu off the bench -- good move!

    Manu can spark up his own energy at any time - he's a self starter ...
    Yeah. This is what Pop and PJ have said now multiple times (listen to the Pop show). Some people are more concerned about hearing Manu's name during intros than logical rotations which keep multiple threat players on the court at all time to attack the defense.

    I've come to the conclusion that coming off the bench has a negative conotation in places outside the US. Here, it's not really that big of a deal as long as you get the same number of minutes.
    Just a simple question: can you imagine in the bench any of the 24 All-Star for tactical reasons?. It’s a logical issue, not a pride or whatever you want.

    Well, since Barry got the starting job, we've certainly had our share of Argentine whine on this forum, and I have to say it's sour with bitter overtones.

    His post about French wine being the worse...

    or was it whine?

    In any case, everybody here knows Texas wine is the best!

    I would have understood if he said it was sarcasm...but Irony wouldn't be the word that I would have chosen, which is why I was confused.

    I wasn't being serious about my post either...

    AllStars end up on benches and flourish a lot of the time. It's not that unimaginable. Man, making the All Star team actually isn't that big of an honor.

    Athenea is on a roll.

    Curious. I know that when it comes to Soccer, if a player comes off the bench. It's looked upon that that player is less capable than a starter.
    Does that thinking apply to basketball as well?

    It shouldn't but I'm just wondering if that is a primary reason as to why you look at the move as bad? I'm saying that both Brent & Hedo haven't exactly earned starting positions BUT notice that as a team, the Spurs don't lose much when Manu comes off the bench.
    Do I want him to start? yeah but even when he says that he is happy with the results and focuses on the le, I give him major props for knowing what the goal is. That his sacrifice is only one of time but NOT IMPORTANCE and that WINNING IS WHAT IS BEST.
    He'll start again. And when he does, BARRY better remember that he needs to ATTACK THE RACK.

    Next year if Scola is a Spur, as expected, he will undoubtedly be coming off the bench if he makes the rotation. If Manu starts he'll likely being heading to the bench about the time Scola would be taking the floor. Do the Manu jockers see any value in adjusting Manu's floor time to play with Scola and take advantage of the chemistry they've developed over the years?

    No you won't, I don't expect Scola to start at all.

    But Manu is going to start.

    I'd like Manu to start too but ....

    Given the Spurs emphasis on defense to the point that they will keep defensive specialists on the floor with very limited offensive skills, guys like Bowen, Rasho, Nazr, possibly Linton Johnson, I'd like them to keep a minimum of two very strong offensive players, guys who can create their own shot or shots for others, at all times. That currently leaves Duncan, Manu and Parker. Parker is the only one who's shown he can go a full quarter at his top speed. Duncan and Manu seem to both need to come out at the six to eight minute mark. Now you figure out a rotation that can accomplish the above.

    I put this question to the loyal Argentine Manu fans: Would you rather 1. Manu play a critical 6th man role from the bench on the best team in the league, in constant competion for a championship, or 2. STAR on a mediocre team like the Sixers who are constantly struggling to make the playoffs and then get bounced in the first round?

    How can you ask me this if #2 is not going to happen.

    Bigbendbruisebrother, the options should be more like:

    1. Manu play a critical 6th man role from the bench on the best team in the league, in constant competion for a championship

    or

    2. Manu play a critical role from the starting line-up on the best team in the league, in constant compe ion for a championship.

    I'd go with 2.

    As a starter...Manu DOES play a critical role, he DOES play on the best team in the league, and he IS in constant compe ion for a championship.

    Why did you give me your original 2nd choice, when it isn't being discussed?
