Manu = Manure

[ManuTim_best of Fwiendz]

I said this over in the game thread just right now but...

I'm tellin ya, I think it's the hair...he's losing power with every strand of hair that falls out.

He needs to muster his strength for one final push before all his hair is gone.

I know he still has the brilliance of '05 in him somewhere...

He should buy a wig for the time being. Definitely the hair.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Manu should be transferred to the IR, let's activate James White.

[ducks]

Ask pop why. Well done Pop

so you think pop told him to be an idiot?

[aaronstampler]

It used to be that if Tony was having a crap game Pop would run the offense through Manu. He didn't do that this game and we just ran 4 down every play.

In this game, Duncan taking a shot while covered was a much better option than giving Manu an open look.

[SPURS vs NBA media]

No nuts, no glory.

next game he has a great GAME you will be KISSING HIS ASS IN THIS FORUM

How was Manu an idiot?

He just sucks on O. It's not like he was turning the ball over left and right, or doing stupid plays for his teammates.

LOSER,

yeah, but Pop played into the Suns hands, "let Duncan get his, like Kobe" and let the rest of the team get cold.

Come on, it's much better to get everyone involved and keep the defenses on their toes.

I hope so. Manu is the second best player on this team, and he's picked a horrible time to go into a slump.

[L.I.T]

Who are we talking about? I remember someone named that a couple of years ago.

I'd be much much more worried if he wasn't providing anything in any other aspect of the game. But seriously, he needs to turn it back on on offense. I haven't been a proponent of starting him, but whatever it takes to get him in a rhythm. Acupuncture? Someone find George Karl and take away his Manu-voodoo doll.

Pop ask Manu all season to make jump shots and no going to the basket so hard.
Result: that´s not Manu.

Manu just needs to take over...

C'mon guys, you have to know he could still take over and be the Manu we know and love. It's the offense, the specific lineups out there with him at times, and his own hesitancy and timidness that's holding him back.

He needs to know that he is the former Finals Co-MVP and play like it. He needs to just the offense they're running sometimes and seize the opportunity whenever he senses there is one. If Pop and the rest of the Spurs gives him that trust and freedom (like they did in '05), we'll see Manu finally arrive in this series.

I think TP needs to trust him more than anything, which will be hard to do, considering how well Tony fits against the Suns---he just needs to realize that his opportunities and chances to score will always be there...for Manu it's just not as easy to tell the truth.

Eh Manu is making his Playoff 2007 Manu case, as the worst of the Manu incarnations so far. I think when Dallas went down, he felt his desire for "VINDICATION" fell to zero.

If he's not gonna turn it on, then we lose against the Suns, plain and simple.

Yep, Pop fell into the trap that he has many times in the playoff years past. Parker = not a good spot up shooter. Manu = not a good spot up shooter. So we make them

I do think, it's the same Manu and he's willing, but he's playing too passive and passes to his teammates too much! as a team player.

He needs to just say, GIVE ME THE BALL and I'm going to run it for the rest of this quarter, to everyone. There are ways around stupid traps, do a pick and roll, with a big man, and handoff the ball back to Manu.

I don't know. I remember Manu handling the ball A LOT as the Alternate 1st option in 2005. Now I barely see him in the lineups.

parker jumper is much better each year

Manure>>>>Manu

Sadly this is true so far. Hopefully the 3rd time's the charm.

[Scotti]

Those of you who will be present for Game 3, pass some of your energy and zeal to Manu by cheering hard for him.

There's no reason why he can't recover from this slump.

Manu needs to ReMEMMBBBERRR when he said to Pop, "This is what I do."


or else we're screwed.

True. Double-True!

Manu just needs to do what he do, how he do...

[dreamcastrocks]

I don't know what's wrong with Manu, but as a Suns fan, I hope he keeps it up.

[upTD]

no. now Manu is the second worst player on this team
