Game 4: The Manu Redemption

[RON ARTEST]

i think artest is gonna guard him and hes gonna have 8 points and 7 turnovers.

I agree as respects the points, but i dont think manu is going to have more turnovers than friday just because he is not going to force the plays.

I agree as respects the points but i dont think manu will have more turnovers than friday just because he is not going to force the plays and he will assist more to his teammates

In Express News Parker was quoted as saying after the game, Manu was the most upset he has ever seen him, apparently yelling at himself in Spanish.

Manu will be a man posessed tonite and recover from his worst EVER game.

Right. Step lively mates, cause Manu has got the bottle tonight!!!

[gospursgo]

I think Manu is going to go nuts in this game and win it for the Spurs in OT

[Zan the Fan]

everyone knows what happens when you make Manu angry....

Funny people seem to be more concerned about Manu having good stats than the Spurs winning.

I'll take a solid, nonspectacular game with turnovers minimized. That's what the Spurs need to win.

It's that Player effect, you feel guilty, but it's really understandable after being wowwed in 2005.. Manu's one of those player favorites, along with Tim, and Tony, and we're glad we have them on the Spurs.
When either has a great game, we benefit. Last year if Tim and Manu had great games, or Manu and Tony, we win...

Tim's the franchise guy, but Manu is a special player that you really want to see deliver a great game.

it doesn't hurt to get some bonuses from Manu and Tony. Spurs are in the Bonus whenever Manu, Tim or Tony have 30 + Games because it's off of self-determination, one-for all and all for-one attacking, so it's not really stat padding.

I know it's seems a bit like favoring individual glory over the team, with the Player of The Games: But it's kind of like being loud and proud, and saying, "you wish he played for your team" to the opposition.

All I know is I can never remember Manu beating himself up like that after a loss, and I am looking forward to seeing how that translates to how he plays on the court tonight

[T Park]

i expect Manu to come out like a man possessed.

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I'm pretty sure he's gonna try to make hustle plays and get his teammates shots. I don't know about him getting a lot of points, but you never know. we'll have to wait and see.

Manu was so pissed at himself, this guy is one of a kind. After reading the articles and how he took it, this guy has 110 % passion for the sport and winning.

I didn't read that people preferred better stats than a W. It seems that people were implying the Spurs win tonight BECAUSE he ends up with good stats.

Manu usually redeems himself the very same gamebut that was impossible after the last TO in Game 3. I won't predict huge stats tonight. I'm gonna predict Artest getting in foul trouble.......

[FloppinIsGreat]

Smooth, efficient play. Aggressive and Dominant. Game 4 Win.

[Nikos]

I just hope Manu plays a solid, efficient game with solid defense mixed in. I don't expect him to explode.

[Jimcs50]

Manu will have the flollowing line:

23 pts(4 from downtown)

7 rebs

8 assists

1 turnover

[SequSpur]

Did Manu fly back to San Antonio? This guy is a poser.

[Kori Ellis]

Manu still MIA.

[SequSpur]

[Winnipeg_Spur]

Ginobili won't even dribble with Artest on him.

He's terrified...

[MI21]

Now the Spurs know what its like when Bowen turns opposition swingmen into little es. This is similar.

Come on Manu, you are better than this.

[SequSpur]

If the Spurs don't get their together this quarter, Manu's up is looking worse by the minute.

[Spurs Dynasty]

Wow, was I ever wrong.
