Still got faith in the old lefty. He's just biding his time to make things more dramatic.
Yeah i included those in bad defense and idiotic gambling.
Daniels then got hot and nailed another 3 far away from the 3pt line.

Spurs loss is on Ginobili, obviously.
40 year old Manu...your career ends after the last Spur game. If the Spurs lose game 5, they better give a standing ovation to that guy. He's earned, just not this year.
This series and the criticism is not about his career.
I do understand he's got many haters... but I am not one such person...
I only care about the right now though and right now he's hurting the team.
he needs to sit.
The thing is, in his prime, when Manu's shot wasn't falling he'd get to the rim and either score or draw the foul. That dual threat also made his drive and kick game dangerous too. He can't do that anymore, so if his shot is off, he's virtually useless on the court (in the playoffs) now. He has to stop shooting like a pussy and get some confidence in his shot.
Shooting like a pussy? Youre hilarious.
LA is the overall culprit here...Manu stayed to ride on some coattails. At this stage, Manu is supposed to be frosting of the team, while LA is, supposed to be the cake. He gets so much of a free pass

Ahh Manu shot well during the regular season, but right now he's not even looking to shoot it and his shots are way off. That is shooting like a pussy. I stand by what I said. He has no confidence whatsoever in his shot, yet he shot well during the regular season. That's mostly mental, IMO.
Manu played 25 mins the last two games combined. That's 2 more mins than Kyle, and a very short leash, all things considered.
You can be mad at Pop for not playing Simms, that's valid, but let's not pretend that Manu has been playing an overwhelming amount of mins.
His shots are way off, though. What has that got to do with minutes? Good shooters can still hit shots regardless of minutes. He shot the ball well during the season. The difference is that the pressure is higher and he's lost confidence due to his misses being so bad on a few of those shots.
He's getting wide open looks..
He took a grand total of 7 shots in those two games. To get an idea, Kyle took 8.
What I'm pointing out is that he's been on a very short leash already, that's what the mins illustrate.
He's not a scorer on this team, tbh, he's a playmaker that has been admittedly bad...
OK, fair enough. His shooting has looked way off, though. You think he's capable to driving to the rack at all these days?
i still contend that manu's comments prior to the start of the playoffs set me off. the fact that he admitted to having a different mind set than he used to and that he is no longer consumed by winning just does not sit well. it basically tells us he's not going to have the same fire as some of his teammates and especially of his opponent. so now, not only do i see him struggle, i wonder to what extent he even cares.
Manu to have a Steve Kerr moment tonight!
Oh I was in on this from the start. The dude is sorry trash garbage and his play is infectious
his inconsistency and the combination of playing with Mills (another weak, undersized, physically overmatched, inconsistent guard, prone to foolishness with the basketball) kills us in tough games.
I told Lamarcus Bryant before the series you cannot find a more favorable matchup for our reserve backcourt than Memphis without tony Allen. And yet they are still both unplayable
