I am quite sure that Duncan, Manu, Finley and Parker would've appreciated a little help on the offensive end from Bowen since his man is always the double team guy.
Reminds me of Avery.
This dude is supposed to be a defensive specialist? Can't he average more than 1 steal a game?
Do you get your jersey retired by just getting in the way of the defender?
Dude has terrible stats for all the praise he gets.
Yeah, I saw him and I will tell you...Manu has him beat all to in intensity...I watched MJ from the time he was at UNC and the time he drained the NCAA Championship winner. MJ was a tough guy and intense. Manu has him beat on that. I am not being a homer, just a realist. Manu is just as intense when up by 20 as he is down by 20. That is the measure.
Wow. That's a pretty bold statement. Personally, I think you're comparing apples and oranges, but you're en led to your opinion.
Don't know how that is apples and oranges...they play the same game. MJ is not the untouchable GOD everyone wants to make him out to be. I enjoyed watching him play...I was pissed when i lost the STRAW drawing with my fellow Season Ticket holders and had to sit by the water cannons to watch him play in San Antonio. BUT...I think Manu has more intensity. I have seen it and I have been in the building to mexperience it. I do not know HOW you can call it Apples and Oranges...same game...
This discussion is becoming way too involved. Bottom line - Saying that Manu is somehow quantifialby more intense or competetive than Jordan or Magic or Bird or Isiah or anybody who consistently showed up in big games makes you a homer.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. Manu's the .
So your point is? I am making a very subjective analysis of what I have seen over the past 30 yrs I have watched Basketball. Manu has passion beyond what I see from the others. I LOVED watching Jordan. That guy played under the most trying cir stances. BUT, Manu plays the same whether 20 up or 20 down. Not many do/did that, including MJ.
Ps. I hope the spurs score again this season![]()
The last bucket![]()
Very funny. I guess I should have said Manu's 7th assist.
Spurs 80 Grizzlies 79
we don't need a world class scorer at c, we need one to defend and rebound. we have that in razr, but unfortunately attempts to meld them into one player have failed. any points they score are gravy.
Same game, two different people with different styles.
That might be the most ridiculous thing ever posted here.
Trying posting that anywhere besides a Spurs board.I am not being a homer, just a realist.

You are absolutely right, you're en led to your own opinion. However, I am sure that 99.5% of the world may disagree with you on this. Which isn't discounting Manu in any way whatsoever. But, like someone else said, it may be a little like comparing apples and oranges.
I'm an argentine now?
I don't think I'm smarter than Popovich. I just don't agree with his inconsistent rotation pattern.
Nobody ever does at this point in the season. He's always done this, and more often than not he figures out who plays well together and when by the time it counts.
