    From the Book of Manu 4:23

    "And his disciples looked upon their saviour and said
    'GET THY TOGETHER!'

    And Manu replied
    'Uhhhhhh... okay.'"

    ... Manu would give the starting unit more energy and better options if he were to resume his starting position, but then the bench punch would have to come from Finley, since Barry has a very fragile state of mind.
    Manu as a starter would probably not be double-teamed. Manu off the bench is being double-teamed since the Nuggets have no respect for the other players from the second unit
    I agree. Starting would give Manu more pt time and more confidence and not will be doubled when Duncan and Parker are on the floor. He would become more free and the team would be less predictable.

    No reason to do anything rash at this point. I do agree that Manu needs to be more aggressive to the hole and stop settling for contested threes. I don't mind him shooting threes when they're in the flow of the offense, but these hesitation shots with a hand in his face have to end. He needs to get in the lane, collapse the defense and draw some fouls. We spent way too much time on our heels the whole game.

    if you mean in a good way then yes i agree.


    there shpul be a whole book for the team that say nothing but that for about 1000 pages.

    as for the topic, if we lose Game 2 then yes without a doubt.

    i like fin and manu coming off the bench, but i do not like the idea of barry and his weak mindset starting.

    I said on the Round Table today that maybe they should start Manu.

    My thought is that Manu is probably the player that can exploit the Nuggets defense the most because they don't really have anyone to guard him. So why not have Manu on the floor from the get-go and run the ball through him so that the Spurs can get off to a good start.

    manu should not start because if they insert him back in they are telling the other starters they suck they need manu in there

    you do not mess with the roations this year
    the spurs just lost by 6 points not 20-30 and this was the first game that spurs played them when all players played (with ai and melo)

    It didn't hurt them in 2005. Manu came off the bench in Game 1 and started the rest of the way.

    Actually starting Manu would make the Nuggets adjust to the Spurs.

    Manu needs to start. Bowen needs to sit. I'm tired of watching AI run circles around him and watching Duncan chase to help.

    That was just ridiculous.. AI treated 2 of the top defensive players in history like es.

    I assume you were bowling again.

    AI was like 4-for-12 with Bowen on him, including starting off 0-for-6. The problem was not enough Bowen on the court, not too much Bowen. He only played 19 minutes.

    In all honesty, I'd rather have Bowen try to slow down Carmelo, but no one on the Spurs can check AI, so Bowen has to swich back and forth between them - which means he's not going to be extremely effective on either one. But if Bowen doesn't play 30-35 mpg in this series though, the Spurs won't have a chance. He needs to be on the floor.

    our bench may lack any scoring punch if manu leaves it...
    I don't really care about the bench lack of production if Manu goes back to starting. It's the playoffs and the Spurs starters should play 36-40 mpg anyway. A lot of starters around the league play 40+ in the postseason. Manu can exploit the fact that no one on the Nuggets can guard him. If he attacks the rim, somebody can get in foul trouble, etc. The Spurs guards need to be super aggressive. The fact the Spurs only shot 10 FT's last night is pathetic. And that's not a statement about the refs - it's a statement about the Spurs being so passive.

    If Barry and Finley are both coming off the bench that should be enough bench scoring to tide the Spurs over. This is not the time to go super deep in the roation anyway.

    Kori,

    AI hit 2 or 3 crucial shots right in front of Bowen's grill in the last few minutes. Also, the pick and rolls were killing the Spurs because Duncan was running around with his head up his ass.

    Yes. Bowen and Duncan.

    Good point about the minutes though... At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Spurs starters were sitting and Denver was taking on our scrubs with their top team. Didn't Denver's scrubs just blow out the Spurs a few days ago? WTF is Pop thinking? Is he saving his players for a vacation at the next lottery? WTF?

    Except AI only hit one shot in the last seven minutes of the game.

    spurs fans think manu can exploit the nuggets I hope so I think spurs can win if 2 of the big three go off
    they need the big three against the mavs though

    Yeah Carmelo and AI played a combined 85 minutes.

    There's no reason why the Spurs starters don't play close to 40.

    oh.. I think I got the wrong guy... AI was the one who broke Bowen's ankles 4-5 straight possessions and Duncan had to come and help leaving a big wide open for a dunk.

    My bad.

    I have a feeling that George Karl is hoping and praying that manu stays on the bench so the nuggets can concentrate on him better.
