Good read (Manu´s thoughts about the playoffs)

[thousandth]

once he post it on his website i'll translate it.... for whottt... They had dinner with Scola and all the family (Luis is like part of it) and still talks about how great he is doing... mora on this later

No.
Vato tu sabes que Manu no decir eso.

Luis estuvo muy efectivo ayer, muy sólido, sin hacer cosas brillantes, pero positivo y aprovechando para anotar con sus cortes al aro

Luis was effective, too solid, he didn't great/amazing things, but in a positive light and taking advantage of his cuts to the rim.

He didn't have the need to translate anything. He just did it for the ones that don't speak spanish. He thought you would understand his translation but you didn't, what's the big deal?
For once someone tries to do something nice and the whole forum just bashes him.

No, Thispego's complaint is legitimate.
Google translations aren't really that helpful from a reading standpoint or much effort at all.

To label it "Translated Verbatim", was misleading and stalled a real translation from being posted.
No biggie, but I can see why some would be annoyed.

dictionary.com's definition of 'verbatim': in exactly the same words; word for word

that's what i meant by verbatim

When manu goes home after a nice day of owning teams he is supposed to own...he relaxes in his huge bubble bloodbath.

Manu hates Scola

you know what verbatim means but i dont think you know what it means

also... do you even know what that is in your sig?

[WalterBenitez]

That last paragraph talking about Scola should be erased since many sensitive fans could get mad about that.

people could be more polite and say things like: "thanks for the traslation but i didn't understand what you wrote. can someone please make another?" instead of insulting the guy.

And you can't choose a rival because every team is great i don't want to face nobody. Maybe New Orleans, because they don't have playoffs experience, but they are playing really good right now.

Damn, that was Tony Parker-esque in terms of brutal honesty without concern for consequences. Hopefully New Orleans doesn't get wind of that quote. They've already beaten the Spurs' azz twice already.

Personally, NO is the one team in the West I think the Spurs need to avoid. Asking for them after getting blown out twice is pretty damn ballsy. Then again, it's Manu and he's usually up for challenges.

That quote scares me and give me confidence about Manu's confidence at the same time.

I think that manu feels confident about playing a young team in the playoffs. And if he says something like that is because deep inside he knows NO can't beat the spurs in the playoffs. Just like parker knows that he owns Kidd
Or maybe he thought: "this is for an argie newspaper nobody in NO is gonna read this"

Thanks

[spurschick]

the last paragraph is about the national b-team and pepe sanchez so you won't care.

[xmas1997]

Yeah, would someone please interpret the last paragraph too???????????

Durante la cena hicimos alguna referencia sobre la renuncia de Pepe (Juan Ignacio Sánchez) a la selección. A Luis no lo sorprendió tanto; creo que la suponía. Yo esperaba que se retirara después de los Juegos. Sin duda que es una pérdida enorme para la selección y especialmente para mí, porque debe ser el compañero con el que más tiempo jugué. En Bahía Blanca fuimos rivales hasta los 12 años, pero después el pasó a Bahiense y estuvimos juntos desde los 13 a los 17. En la selección debutamos juntos (1998) y nos entendíamos muy bien, él hacía engranar los sistemas; además, desde que se fue el Puma (Alejandro Montecchia) había tomado más preponderancia. Pero entiendo su decisión y lo apoyo. Jugar en un equipo de punta de Europa (Barcelona) es más complicado que en uno de la NBA. Seguro que los vamos a extrañar mucho.

During dinner we (manu, fab and luis) talk about Pepe's (Juan Ignacio Sanchez) resignation to the national team. Luis wasn't so surprised, i guess he saw it coming. I was hoping that he could play the olympics. Without a doubt it's a huge lost for the team and specially for me, because we know each other so well. In Bahia Blanca we were rivals until the age of 12 years old, but then he came to Bahiense (manu's team when he was a child) and we played together since 13 to 17. In the national team we made our debut in the same game in 1998 and we clicked rigth away. He runs the offense very well, and since Alejandro Montecchia left, he became even more important to our team. But i get his decision. Playing for an elite team in europe (Barcelona) is a lot more complicated that playing in the NBA. We sure are going to miss him.

no reason? I started reading his google translation giving him the benefit of the doubt because he claimed it was translated verbatim, I figured maybe he was just giving it a shot. no, he ended up wasting my time with a google translation, thats reason enough for me to call him out.
