Tim should've said it and shot it himself. He's the clutchest player on this team anyway.
This.
A moment before that play, I thought "hold on to the ball and you got this".
Manu chooses that time to decide like he's ing allergic to orange.
If he doesn't make that pass, Spurs win. Simple as that.

Those were hill and parker
Manu started it with the initial terrible pass which Tony had to try and tip to himself. Manu should have just kept the ball and took the ball up himself rather then throwing a cross court pass to Tony.
Anyways i really think the refs have not gave asingle effing call to us when it counts, they are treating the Spurs as if they were a lottery team.
Super-tired Manu with some colossal ups in this game.
Bandwagoners .. Here come the haters .. After we lose another game then the blame will go to Tony and then to Timmy .. I'm so frustrated right now that I can't even believe that the spurs were the # 1 team in the league for almost the whole season.. We can blame pop/bonner/Manu/rj or anybody else in the team .. Its a team game .. Sometimes when your losing, nothing seems to go right .. It's part of the game .. Let's just hope the spurs will have the confidence entering the playoffs ..
It's not just, "Bonner/Blair/Jefferson/Tiago". It's Neal, Hill, and Blair also. Any of those suckers show up, and we win.
Who else is in agreement?
I have been saying this all day when evaluating the Spurs. It's on Manu. Not entirely obviously, but the only problem they really need to solve is Manu. He has to have another level or else the Spurs are done. This is by far the biggest issue.
What are you talking about? The pass to hill?
He had to pass it or it's a 8 second violation...
yes manu deserves a lot more criticism. i swear my heart aches every time i see him do that stupid step back jumper from 24 feet out. he hardly ever hits it. i don't know why the spurs don't shoot mid range jumpers. blair, parker, and mcdyess are the only ones that do. jefferson has gone 3 crazy, ginobli when he's not flopping is shooting step back 3s, neal won't hold the ball for longer than .5 seconds if he's behind the 3 point line open, bonner is afraid of the post, splitter, can't even hit a layup, and blair plays the paint..
OMG!! he ALWAYS DOES THAT!! he throws the most cross court passes each game. u learn in middle school to not throw from baseline to baseline across court.
Sorry, but if Manu has to score 30+ every night, we're long done.
We can afford to have people out there for 25 mins without a basket... or 30 mins and just 5 points...
April Fools??!?!?!?!?!??
He doesn't have to score 30, but he has to be more efficient and he has to have the energy we are used to seeing when it matters. He has to get to the line at a better clip.
Basically, he needs to match TP and Tim's level of play. He is clearly a step below that and has been for a while now.
It has been a long while. Manu sucked in shot selection this year. Manu fans can find excuses like he's not a pure shooter and will be 100% in playoffs. Forget these bull s. Last time when TP have many TOs he's ed in the ST, but what about Manu? Why's there so much bias? Sometimes Duck is right.
It's not Manu's only/main fault here, je's always doing his best and at least he is trying...
I mean Manu is a warrior and will never say he's not in condition to compete, Pop knows it and in spite of that keep giving him the ball in the clutch...
When he's not 100%, Manu is a TO machine and Pop can't ignore that and should force him to rest or give the ball to Tony or Timmy who are fresher and more efficient.
Again...all Hill had to do was call a ing timeout. That's it...he does that...BALLGAME.
Manu had a little money on the game...blame his bookie.
He drove a lot in the second half... heck, he didn't even chuck that many 3's this game. Again, when you give guys 30, 25 minutes and they get you 5 or no points, that's where you need to be looking at. Especially since other guys relegated to the bench were actually producing more.
the whole team sucked and their defense is not good this year, they aren't in the top 10 and that hardly wins you a championship.
manu deserves some criticism, yes he had 20+ pts but this goes way back even back to the dumb ass decision of game 7 in the 06 playoffs against the mavs.
what happened to his mid-range game? why the does he always look worn out and tired? get a new conditioning coach or some thing. he's the only player, at his caliber, in the league that gets ing tired at the end of games. i love manu and yes he did score tonight but he has too many of these ghost games (against boston) through out the season(s). the spurs shouldn't have to live or die with him. bonner is absolutely horrible too, how he's here i have no idea - bonner is in playoff mode early doesn't he know he can't start bricking shots until the playoffs start
we would complain about constant 4 down set up but this is the year for that and it seems that has gone out the window as well. post, kick out, repost/drive or kick out to shooter - w/all the supposed shooters on this team, that plan has been totally eliminated
Perhaps he's feeling th pinch of having to defend the opp's best wing player when GHill isn't doing it. Since RJ's defense is just a level above Derek The Turstile Fisher and Matt-I Back up-Bonner, it means that those minutes where Manu gets to rest doesn't occur at all. When you're fighting uphill...it's just that...UPHILL BATTLE.
George Hill made an errant pass that Tony Parker managed to bat back into Hill's hands, but when he tried to pass back to Parker, Houston's Courtney Lee intercepted the pass for an easy layup.
“Parker did a good job of keeping it alive,” Lee said, “and then I saw that George Hill was trapped and he was bobbling the ball, and Parker was running, too.
“I was the next man in rotation, so I just shot the gap and was able to get the steal.”

You're right! I saw the replay and it started with that lazy pass by Manu. An egregious error that came at a critical moment of the game.
