turnobili... what?!

[anakha]

People here who hate on Manu have no common sense at all. He took 8 shots the whole damn game. How many points is he supposed to score from 8 shots, 30?

He played badly in the first quarter, Pop benched him and he was pretty much an afterthought the rest of the game as punishment for not boxing out because Pop has to play these mind games all the time, even to his veterans. The only guy he doesn't play them with is Duncan, who can mess up on defense as much as he wants without specific retribution.

It boggles my mind how a player so talented and important to the team can finish a game with 8 shot attempts. No star player in the world would put up with such treatment. No wonder he goes through these crises of confidence sometimes. His own coach doesn't believe in him and it's pretty much accepted that he's not even going to get his first shot attempt in a game til Hill checks in.

So that last-second turnover was Popovich's fault. Right.

Manu is overrated.

You heard what I said, watch a game and tell me it's not true...

Watch at his career and tell me how can you say that with a straight face.

[SAhoops]

Manu is overrated.

Idiotic.

Manu 2003-2007 Now he is just a has been.

And no, living with manu's knack for making stupid passes and having a good game 1 in every 5 is not going to cut it anymore.

Also, there are spurs who can make shots and win games. I seriously doubt for 45 minutes manu can do zero and come in for 3 minutes and be a fukin hero again.

Also, other nba teams have figured him out, so its no fluke that he has off games more than ever.

time to move on.

Manu is a dangerous player . He has great skills. Two things that people have against him is hes not consistant and has a confidence problem .

This is way way too emotional. This is a lighthearted thread. Besides what does eight shot-attempts have to do with "Turnobili" turning it over at the end of the game? That's non-sequiturious. In your emotional haste, you were also wrong insofar as when Manu got his first shot. It was in fact with the starting lead guard.

Eight shot-attempts or not, Ginobili played like Leon Lett in flippers last evening.

If you are a Spurs fan, there are just some things you have to accept. Tim Duncan will miss free throws and not play defense the first half of the season. Tony Parker will dribble the clock out and then miss the long jumper. Manu Ginobili will turn the ball over and make aggressive mistakes. These things are inevitable so as a Spurs fan you might as well sit back and enjoy it . . .

I LOL'd. Manu is coming back from surgery and played well enough to impress you right after he returned in November and yet, not now. One in Five eh? Alright, over the past 5 previous games...plus last night's game (6 total) who is scoring more, TP or Manu?

Player TP...................Manu
Game Pts Minutes.....Pts Minutes
NJN 17 35:02..........8 23:01
IND 13 25:47.........26 20:38
CHA 13 34:11.........10 28:15
CHI 20 37:53.........21 31:04
PHI 12 28:23......... 8 23:46
LAL 20 33:32.........27 30:17
---------------------------
TOT 95 194:48.......100 157:01

Using your logic, Trade em both.

Manu took the night off so he can rest and play better against the lakers tomorrow, what's wrong with that we all do it at our jobs or am I wrong?

[Solid D]

"Havlicek stole the ball" after Bill Russell threw the ball in off the guy-wire and turned it over. Bill Russell stinks.

[angelbelow]

well i for one thought ginobili was perfect and never made any mistakes so im shocked that he turned it over.

Quit cutting out newspapers stats and posting them here. Why don't you try watching a game for once?

and why don't you take your homer glasses for a minute to study facts instead of flat out for stuff? I know I know... it's fun...

Okay, I'll quit cutting out newspaper stats if you will quit chasing shiny, sparkly things and FOCUS!

I see turnobili is back today.
