Latest Manu's Post on his Website

[beirmeistr]

Manu's got his head screwed on, his feet on the ground, and his big heart in the right place. What a great person.

oh yeah, big balls, too.

Great quote.

I have this theory -- one that I doubt will ever be proven -- that Manu holds himself responsible for the failure to repeat in '06 and that he's on a mission to get the Spurs into position to accomplish that goal, whatever it takes.

But wouldn't that mission have been accomplished last season...they came back from '06 and won the le in '07...

FWD is talking about the mission to repeat. They haven't accomplished that yet.

Ah, the theory makes sense then

I'm not sure it's a very good theory, but it certainly works for me.

Well, I'm rooting for your theory to be right also. A pissed off Manu in the playoffs is a definite edge in favor of the Spurs.

He wants to do it with the Mavs in the way. He wants to be the one to bury them in agony.

i saw that in the video too... i think it was Pop just being a little more sarcastic to fire him up... it is also a prove that he and the team have gone over it by that point as they were joking about it... Pop would NEVER say somehitn like that to hurt Manu... he was just firing him up... and btw he said that
"Listening is important[...] so maybe we don't foul Nowitzki on the last play [...]" and then added "and maybe we'd have another ring right now..."

Probably. But that clip was during training camp, and it was only a couple of months after the loss. I don't know, I just think it was a bit insensitive considering how hard Manu beats himself up for that play. But whatever works for Manu is fine. If it takes an avenging at ude, then all the better for the spurs.
