People are stupid.
Of course. He's committed many since then
I want to know why people say "he's only 70%", "he's still coming back from injury", "he's not heathy yet"?
What injury is he coming back from? Or are you guys saying he's just tired/banged up?
People are stupid.
fact last 8 road games manu played great at home not on road
scary if this is good now what will be worse?
Um, I guess you haven't paid much attention this season. He has been banged up all year. You think his injuries just magically went away when the playoffs started?
I know he has been injured during the regular season
but at the end of it he had been playing better
now agrentina posters are saying 70%
what is injured?
Yeah, I've been wondering about this mystery injury myself.
And If TP had played like this, IceColdBrewski and AHF would have already started five "Trade Tony" threads apeice.
Maybe if he didn't flop every time he was touched, he'd be 100% right now.
It is a combination of things with Manu. 1. His reputation as a "flopper" means he often does not get legit calls. 2. Teams are really keying on his tendencies. 3. Pop has done absolutely nothing I can see to change the offense to get him the ball in better positions...same old elbow pick and roll. 4. He looks tired from the Sac series. and 5. I think items 1,2, and 3 have him very frustrated right now.
manu has been hurt more then healthy
you have to way that in with the good he brings
at some point you have to wonder if trading him but be in the team's best interst
or is his contract ok for playing him no more then 30 minutes a game and not on back ot back nights?
I think Manu deserves some leadway, IMO. He was the Finals MVP of last year, I dont care what anyone else says. He has had an injury plagued season, he is still injured right now (its obvious, he cant even travel like he is used to) and I believe he will snap out of it.
I really do. And if your saying that SA's playoffs hopes rest solely on Manu's health, then your basically saying your team isnt good enough with him because Manu isnt a 30 and 8 guy nor is he a lockdown defender.
My point is, regardless of this years results, trading Manu shouldnt be explored any time before next years trade deadline.
Sometimes I think your humor is lost on alot of people.
real subtle.

First of all, I don't think they should look to trade Manu.I think Manu deserves some leadway, IMO. He was the Finals MVP of last year, I dont care what anyone else says. He has had an injury plagued season, he is still injured right now (its obvious, he cant even travel like he is used to

I think he'll snap out of it too, but I don't know why I think that.
But he had a 32 point game in round 1. Was he not "injured" then? Has he been injured since then?
To me, this whole season Manu has looked sick or fatigued -- not exactly injured. It seems he can't even play more than a 5 minute stretch these days, and that kills his rhythm.
So I'm not sure what to think. But for some reason, I still believe he'll get better.
I agree. Maybe "sick or fatigued" is much more accurate way of putting it. Whatever the case, something is definately up.
We are not trading Gino.
Can we steal away the Pistons' trainer from them? Because that guy has his folks in perfect shape. I wonder if our trainers are doing enough to keep people in the best physical condition possible? Yes, age factors in, but look at Bruce Bowen--he's 36, but he takes care of his body as if it were a vintage Ferrari. Sheer talent and will aren't always enough to carry people through a full season. Even Tony--all of 23 years old--looks tired on the second game of a back-to-back, or in a game with a short turnaround. There's something wrong with that picture.
Um, no. It has more to do with the fact that he plays with reckless abandon whenver he's healthy enough. Which is why guys like David Robinson and Charles Barkely appreciate his game so much. When you have a player with that kind of passion, there are going to be injuries. But you have to take the bad with the good. Or in your case, just jump off the bandwagon.
Methinks you should stick with colorless one-liners in the Political forum. Basketball doesn't seem to be one of your strong suits.
Now that I think back on it I remember hearing PJ when asked about health and if Tim and Manu were ready for the playoffs on one of the pregame shows he said that Tim was pretty healthy and ready to go and Manu was less so for it but they still had to go on with it. It sounded like Manu is just trying to survive and play through the post season to me.

OhGeeownd!!!11!
Oh, Gee!!>Kaufman>Colbert?
Injuries I can live with. It's his poor play that is the reason for this thread.
Why the would you trade Manu? Manu is a warrior is lives to win playoff games.
He'll snap out of his this funk and will lead the Spurs in Game 3.
Believe.
That's the Timvp I like to see.
Criticize Manu all you want people, he has played like , I'll admit that. But at least have the decency to have FAITH in him and his ability as a player. He'll be "back" and then you can have so much fun sniffing his jock strap.
