so ginobili let the spurs down...
again...
well at least he was finally healthy for an entire playoff run...
How about Manu at PG ???
If he manages to not turnover too much I'm pretty sure he can be great, as he's getting more and more older. His creativity and BBIQ paired can be better than getting him go against youger and stronger younguns.
And that means no need of a back up PG,and no neal.

Parker +12.31
LeBron +10.06
Durant +6.28
Kobe -4.67
CP3 -7.92
Ultimate self crownage, statistically speaking.
What's happened to the Mookie Crew? Pego is tinfoiling it. hemann is on an Argie level Parker scoff trip. CBF was torn who to root for and is now arm in arm with Sooner Nation and Stoops. Mookie is now so skinny he lost his country strength. Hunter can't find a practice jersey. 4cc went bigtime and forgot about the crew. I lost track of who GTown is posting under these days. Only Rita seems to be holding up after this collapse.
At this point a healthy Manu is not enough. We need more star power.so ginobili let the spurs down...

Obviously on and off court numbers are highly influenced by who the player is with whom you switch out.
Amazing stats once again timvp. It's depressing as to see those numbers, and know that many of our guys just couldn't hack it in the playoffs. We went from invincible to eliminated in such a short time that I'm still s shocked. I don't think I've even gotten past the denial stage yet. This was supposed to be our year.
Who says it was suppose to be the Spurs year. the Spurs were lucky to get as far as they did. The Spurs did well considering who they had playing on the frontline.Amazing stats once again timvp.

The Spurs had a couple of easy playoff matchups and the first good team they face they get beat.
You can further break it up to the two wins vs the four losses. What happened to casuse a shift in the series? See if you can come up with a logical answer to why the Spurs collapsed.I'm planning on breaking down the Thunder series specifically. One surprising thing about the Thunder series so far: Green was only one of three players to post a positive plus/minus for that series (Duncan and Parker being the other two). So even with Green not hitting the ocean, he was still helpful.
We can only imagine how very helpful he would have been if he was shooting straight
Thanks for this, I've been itching for a good read some days now.
Pretty much what to expect after watching the playoffs with a level head.
Manu was healthy, finally, he just did not have the tools to be the manu we needed to win a championship.
Danny green going cold in the WCF was the first crack in the armor, that made, manu look even more ineffective. This team was built on the rotation that won 20 games,.and there was just no room for green and splitter and manu to underperform.
No surprise we lost to the thunder
manu should have been traded for player close to his value before last year
no d no good o
2 really good games out out of 14 not impressive
even timvp facts back it up
manu and duncan both player better on 3 days rest
there was no extra day rest at all in wcf
other playoff games this year yes

cole for manu?
cole atleast would mean a legit backup point
The previous thread timvp put up regarding the 'out of this universe' perimeter shooting of OKC in the WCF explains it all. Each one of them shot 10-30% better from 15 ft. out than all year.
It will be interesting seeing how their shooting in the Finals compare to the WCF. I'm sure defense will have a lot to do with it.
For you to say I was torn who to root for is far and away the biggest low blow you've ever landed on me in the history of me posting here.
I'm not cheering for either finals team, but I don't hate or cheer against either okc or heat. Its like you expect me to hate Durant just because they beat us. Only player in that entire series I hate is Fisher
Btw timvp you laughed your ass off when I said we could have won one of either game 3 or 4, had this team still head a healthy TJ Ford.
Your numbers and comments pertaining to,Neal show that I could have been right, and you only laughed cuz you think I seriously said that out of UT homerism.
It was a legit comment.
This team's bench could have been better with a real backup PG. the bench failed us, and poor Tony was gassed by the 4th after having to play so many minutes
Timvp says a lot of mean things out of anger he doesn't mean, CBF. He didn't mean it. He told me.
Well most of what he said was in the ball park except me being torn between who to cheer for
Heman does hate Parker now
Pego is on full conspiracy mode
Frankly, I'm rooting for the Thunder in the Finals.
I don't think they will win, but I am rooting for them.
I don't understand how anyone wouldn't prefer to lose to the eventual Champ rather than losing to the eventual runner-up.
Let's face it guys...Miami is forcing the Thunder to miss shots that they never missed against us. We don't play defense for long enough to win a championship anymore, but we are still a more fun team to watch that we were a few years ago.
I'll take it.
When you have two very good teams go against each other it often comes down to who has enough stamina to outlast the other team. We're definitely at the bottom of the list in the stamina category. Most of our guys didn't even play over 30 mpg. That's why I sometimes think Pop going too soft in the regular season can backfire.
Pop got CotY because the team was playing as well as the team could possibly play, and well above expectations all season and most of the playoffs tbh. We all know they were a well oiled machine, but still limited by obvious things.
In our most painful losses I have usually rooted against the team who beat us, because it makes it a little easier to take the loss (Pistons over Lakers, Heat over Mavs). This year it's rough though because to do that you have to root for LeBron, which just goes against everything I want to be doing.
The only way I could root for LeBron was if he was playing against Kobe/Bynum.
The key is the team was playing well as a team who's sum was greater than the value of the individual parts. The way we lost was with Pop over relying on the big 3 + SJax. What stinks is we lost playing as individuals instead of as a team.
