    Manu has been extremely consistent and efficient lately. One subpar shooting night doesn't blow that. I don't know if Spurs fans watch other teams, but even the top players in the league have off nights. Kobe, LeBron, Arenas, everybody. They have nights where they shoot 20%, have a ton of turnovers, whatever.

    Maybe if some Spurs fans watched more basketball, they wouldn't be so hard on Manu (and other Spurs players) and appreciate them more.


    i think that’s because we love the spurs so much we want them to be perfect and that's not gonna happen

    Just a little stat : Manu has only scored less than 10 points three times on the last 40 games.
    And he only takes 11.7 shots per game vs Kobe (20.6) or Wade (19.6).

    Yeah, Dirk going off game after game was all on Manu. [/sarcasm]
    that foul still hurts .................and it should hurt him even more to a point where he should be playing with revenge

    Why does everyone assume that we would have won the game had Ginobili not fouled? Granted our chances to win would have been greater but certainly not guaranteed.

    Consider this scenario, we get the ball with 21 seconds left, ahead by 1. Dallas fouls. Which Spur can consistently make 2 in crunch time? Not Tim, not Tony, and not even Manu who sometimes struggles from the line when it's for the game.

    We make 1 of 2. We're ahead by 2 and Dallas has the ball with 14 or more seconds left. There's a decent chance they can tie the game.

    And this whole issue is moot if Ginobili misses the 3 ten seconds earlier. Dirk is shooting for the lead.

    Although he was one of the main reasons we came back from a +15 pt deficit to even have a shot at winning the game.

    How many of those games have been above 17 pts
    19. Not enough ?

    I don't see your point : Manu's inconsistency ? his "silly" move of last year's final ? Not enough scoring (see question above) ?

    Would U be some undercover Manu hater ?

    I thought Manu has been pretty consistent this season. Also if you look at his stats he's having one of the best years stat wise with the almost the fewest amount of minutes. It's just good to see him play like the old Manu again who can take over a game when needed.

    It's luck of the draw. Manu usually doesn't force many bad shots so shot selection generally isn't a problem. When you drive hard to the basket or take a lot of threes you're bound to miss several in a row, even if you shoot 75%. He's no more inconsistent than anyone else so far this season.

    it´d be stupid if we blame manu for that foul for the rest of his career,cause he does that all the time,he plays with that energy.He´ll always try to get a block or a game winner down the strech.
    Let´s just go back three weeks ago,when he blocked Kobe at the buzzer,and kobe hited him with the elbow,that was a 99% game winner,and he blocked it.
    So lets be fair.at the end of the day he have done more good things tham bad things for the spurs.

    The game vs the Rockets was a blow out since the 1st.quarter.There was no need to bring his best game.He has to save some for the playoffs.

    That is exactly what I said. Were you just agreeing?

    Manu is Manu, and Manu is unpredictable ... mostly of the games he's almost Manu, so keep calm, Manu will be SuperManu in Playoffs, but you know .. in SuperManu speed he could have good games or those plays like he did on the blondie in the 7th game.

    we're not hoping for anything. Just that he does what he does. No 05' expectations, just that he plays to win as always.

    Why is he so inconsistent???

    (At one point I am like he plays with an edge, and the next I am like he can't hit anything))))?????

    He should be playing the best from the spurs b/c he was the main reason we did not win the le last year
    Cause you just happen to tune in to those times when he's playing inconsistently.................................... .................................................. ...............no seriously, Manu runs fast and hard all the time. If he, aw , why am I explaining this to you, Pop knows when Manu's vibrating like those little metal and plastic football players while he's sitting on the bench, needing a industrial proof velcro to anchor him down.
    Pop won't put him in till he slows down to some semblence of focus and prudence, then puts him in the game. If Manu is controlling Manu, he'll contribute on offense as well as defense.
    If Manu has uncaged little Manu, turnovers will make you swill your beer and roll your eyes not to mention Manuito throwing a pass to a 9 ft. Tim Duncan or to a Tony Parker that ain't there at all and then that's when he ends up playing super D.
    Then you'll see him take a break on the bench with that pensive look on his face.
    I wouldn't have it any other way.

    ing troll. I'm so tired of this being brought up over and over again. No matter what the guy does the rest of his life he's going to be like god damn Bill Buckner to some people. The '05 playoffs don't matter, Game 1-6 against Dallas don't matter, his 3 pointer right before the foul don't matter, how well he's played this year doesn't matter, none of it matters.

    It all goes back to the one mistake he made his whole life. You are an asshole.
