Marion or Manu

[bdictjames]

does manu even start?

Will the Sixers ever get to the playoffs?

[BigVee]

Manu seven days a week.

Unless winning isn't the objective.

Ah yes, isn't it amazing how the team's that Manu has been on just seem to win championships? Every level, every league, no matter how big the stage. What a coincidence.

[Obstructed_View]

The fourth quarter is winning time, and that's when Manu shows up. There are very few guys in this league I'd trade him for.

[Spurologist]

I'm no FWD or Marcus Bryant, but I would like to see Marions numbers in lost playoff series that were not against the Spurs. I know he becomes Mr Invisible against us, but does he really do it against other teams?

He's always going to have decent numbers with his atheticism and his activity, but he has NEVER put an imprint on a playoff game where everyone can see Marion was the star of the match.

“They run like deer, jump like deer and think like deer.”

He has been owned time and time again by Manu/Tp and then it translates into his offensive game. He passes up shots and does uses his invisibiliy shield that he's learned from Dirkie. He isn't really a natural post up player, so he can't take full advantage when smaller players are guarding him. AND does marion ever drive in a half court offense?

These are his number for this post season:



He shot more poorly against the fakers than against us but his numbers overall are good. Because of players like Marion and Dirkie, the NBA needs to tabulate all fourth quarter stats separatly. There's that stat and also the "Most shots made when your team really needed it shot" statistic. the rules changes for now, Sternie needs to focus on adding stat categories.

huh???!!!!

no, he finished games

[Spurs rock]

Manu is a winner, plain and simple.

[Xylus]

Tim Duncan would have 5 championship rings if Marion was on the team.

There, I said it.

[carina_gino20]

Manu, hands down. As Pop has said, Manu is the ultimate compe or. More importantly, he's a proven winner. And when it's crunch time, I'd rather not face a determined Manu playing for the opposite team.

[judaspriestess]

There is absolutely NO comparison. Sure marion puts up some ok numbers but he is not a proven champion on all levels not just the NBA.

ridiculous

How come he hasn't delivered one to nash yet?

Because Marion has never been coached by a coach of Pop's caliber.

Nor has he played with a champion like Duncan.

It is no a so obvious choice.
Marion is more consistant, is a great regular season player, has always a great run with MVP statistics... but it never happens in PO.
Manu is a proven playoff winner, is clutch... but is inconsistant.

Marion can be shut down by most teams. Manu can't.

If I am average team and want to go to the playoff... I would probably go with Mariont the 20/10 guy. But if I am the Spurs and want to repeat in 08... Manu is a no brainer.

Last thing : Marion makes superstar money. You don't want to have 16millions $ on a guy who can't create for himself or for others.

[Xylus]

I'm too lazy to do the research, but I think Marion'scareer playoff stats are very similar to his regular season stats.

True! As I said Marion is the consistant one.
Manu is way better in playoff than during the regular season.

[MrChug]

I aint gonna lie. I could care less about both teams and players. If i could take my pick, i would take marion.

Man...do you work for the Philly front office? Sounds like it. Looking at your squad those seem to be the decisions you've made, so keep up the good work!!

[smeagol]

Manu

[smeagol]

Ah yes, isn't it amazing how the team's that Manu has been on just seem to win championships? Every level, every league, no matter how big the stage. What a coincidence.

And also what he said

[smeagol]

104 Manu
9 Marion
1 Tied

Voting for Marion: Sequ, Mookie, pimpo, CbF,

[thousandth]

Seriously? Marion's the better defensive player... than Bowen... No kidding. C'mon.

Marion or Manu?

MANU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Hook Dem]

does manu even start?

THAT is by design!!!!!!

[ArgSpursFan]

Dumbest thread ever.

[ArgSpursFan]

does manu even start?

Manu doesn´t start,He is¨ the closer¨
He doesnt wear a watch eather,He decides what time it is...

[ambchang]

Because Marion has never been coached by a coach of Pop's caliber.

Nor has he played with a champion like Duncan.

Nor has he led any team to any championships in his life. For the record, I would take Joe Dumars and Dennis Johnson over Lafayette Lever despite the stats, or Tom Chambers, or Carter for that matter, because Joe D and DJ comes up big in important situations, while the other come up big in situations of minimal importance.

[manubili]

Someone plz post that gif of manu's behind the back pass on marion in 2005.

That would be my argument.
