Manu Ginobili Out the Next Two Games (Rest)

[Robz4000]

They're missing Griffin, tbh.

They flattened the Spurs last year when Griffin was out.

[timtonymanu]

Yep doesn't matter if Clips miss Paul or Blake, they still beat the Spurs with whoever they put on the court. Goddamn frustrating that it takes playing the Spurs for the Clips to get their together.

[bklynspursfan]

there were like a bunch of games to give him off (Nets/@Suns (B2B)/Pelicans) the past week, yet Poop chooses the one against an arch conference/seed rival....

They're without Blake Griffin, who cares man. Yes Manu is important, but they're missing their 2nd best player.

Manu plays best when he's rested and they're playing 4 games in 6 nights. Let him rest up and have a great performance on xmas.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Going to be really bad if the Spurs lose to a Griffin-less Clippers team. It's happened before but the Spurs really need to take one while the Clipps are missing a key player.

[SpurPadre]

On the other hand, the Clips won't be able to Hack-a-Manu, tbh.

[Arcadian]

39 years old.

Blake is out right? Not that a regular season December win or loss means , but the gauge is already ed so who cares about the clipper game?

[Mugen]

Damn, going to the game tomorrow too. Woulda been nice to catch a Manu pass 5 rows into the stands one last time.

Why? So your cliffjumping ass don't commit suicide before xmas?

enjoy watching Fathead, tbh

[BillMc]

It will give us a vision of next year's team (assuming Pau, LMA, Parker, Simmons, Dedmon, Lee, Kyle and Patty are still here next year).

[james evans]

Manu regaining his shooting stroke and getting into rhythm? Nope, how about an inexplicable 5 days off from Poop to cool him off..

Why the is he resting against the in Clippers? not that we needed more guard mismatches against them..

Don't worry, Griffin is out, so he won't be killing Aldridge this game

[cutewizard]

we can still win this.....

manu should rest more, imho. lol

Pau is going to get raw-dogged by the Choke-P3/DeAndre PnR which they didn't have to milk during the first matchup b/c Blake raped LMA.

Maybe they'll limit his minutes and play more Dedmon instead?

Who am I kidding

[Darius Bieber]

Hmm, I would have liked him to play at least one of the games.

On a side note, Portland are getting thrashed at home by Dallas. They're down 23 just before halftime. I thought they're tough at home? Why are they playing so bad? Anyone watched them?

Worst defensive rating of any team the past decade.

[ceperez]

The guy should rest until maybe 20 games remaining in the regular season.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[HarlemHeat37]

Pls come back, Manu

[Robz4000]

Tonight just hammers down the fact the Spurs are a paper tiger team and likely for a playoff meltdown. There is no reason to be this dependant on a 39 year old Manu.

[timtonymanu]

I can't hate Pop for making this call. Now was the time to see if Simmons/Fathead are capable, and just as we've seen so far, they're both just average players and not the successor to Manu.

You can hate him for not trying to find a solution until this year, among other things. Kawhi really should pursue a trade at this point; not a lot going for this franchise anymore.

[Pocho La Pantera]

Why is this a thread??

you see why, now?

[kaji157]

Clearly the starting backcourt production is just poor and Manu is not able to make up for them anymore.

Too bad Pop failed to see this during the preseason or the Olympics where Tony was very clear that he was going to be trash and Dany was not so worried about learning how to dribble a basketball.
