and you guys want to talk about "ohh he was injured" well so was KOBE! Kobe is playing with a bad back and a finger that needs surgery! you don't see him choking out there.
i swear spurs made a big mistake by not getting rid of manu, hes way overrated. injury prone, turnover machine and chokes in the playoffs.
You can get that thought out of your mind now. Like Pop said last night in the post-game interview, Tony, Manu and TD will be back next year, and we'll build around them.
Manu was 1) spent, 2) injured and 3) being swarmed by the Lakers. It's no surprise the Lakers focused on Manu either, considering he has been our best player this season. The thing is, nobody in our bench gave us a lift. If Finley scores 10 ppg, Horry scores 10 ppg, and Bones scores 10 ppg, we win game 1 and 4. Maybe even game 5.
That just says it all right there. Go yourself troll.and you guys want to talk about "ohh he was injured" well so was KOBE! Kobe is playing with a bad back and a finger that needs surgery! you don't see him choking out there.
Dude, how many Championships do you think we'd have without Manu?
And who do you think we'd get for Manu? Kobe Bryant?!?
Hey, the guy was hurt. It's not like he wanted to be hurt. He courageously tried to play through it but could not. Had he been full strength, perhaps the outcome would've been different. It's no different that Chauncey Billups' hamstring injury. Attrition is just as much a villian of championship hopes as anything else. The only difference is that the Pistons have an adequate backup in place to somewhat offset Billiups' injury. The Spurs, of course, do not. We've seen it all year. Injuries to any member of our core trio have been devastating. It should be no surprise this team faltered in the conference finals. This will become even more prevalent as this trio gets older. So again, if you really want to lay blame into someone, I say lay blame to Pop

Trade for Michael Redd
So the guy unfortunately had one bad series that cost us a chance at the le. That doesn't mean we just give up on him and trade him. He's third team all NBA for a reason.
Hopefully this loss motivates him and he'll be back with a vengeance next year and be better than ever.
anyone else see 1st and 10 on ESPN first take? skip went off on manu. he even took his jersey and threw it to the floor
MANU IF YOU ARE READING THIS I HOPE YOU CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT. YOU BETTER BRING YOUR BEST GAME NEXT SEASON . NO EXCUSES!!!!
Basketball isn't a one mans' game
Therefore, YOU and your thread SUX!
Manu is so great for someone who played less 28 minutes per game in his career.
Where were you the last 5 years when Manu was winning it all?
Right, you can go back to your cave now.
Another "golden oldie" from Jayem... this one way back in 2007... after we lost ONE Game! Against the Nuggets! LOL
Yeah, keep talking smack, Spurs "fan".

it was possible, the year kobe signed his max contract, he was toying around about exploring the FA....Dude, how many Championships do you think we'd have without Manu?
And who do you think we'd get for Manu? Kobe Bryant?!?
it wouldve cost the spurs parker/ginoboli...and a few pieces to get it to work...
Ginobili not being healthy and able to contribute and create havoc like normally, is a pretty good reason they lost.
The key being Tony AND Manu.
Manu straight up would give us somebody < Manu.
word.
Manu was obviously hurt. No lateral movement, no explosiveness, slow.
Any person with common sense can see that. Manu does not need to spell it out for you. Manu gives no excuses, so if asked, he will say "I am fine"
the OP is an
Get over it Jayem! Life goes on and there are more important things in life than basketball. The Spurs have given us (not you Jayem) Spurs fans 10 wonderful years with 4 championships. And every year they go deep into the playoffs. So maybe the fatigue finally caught up with them. I am proud of our Spurs and everything they have done. Sure I am upset that they could not advance farther against the Lakers, who by the way got an injection of fresh legs and new life with Pau Gasol, but I do not in anyway hate the Spurs! If you are going to come on here and every day of your hate for the Spurs, them just go away and pollute some other teams fan forum. It's just a game!
Now, I completely understand why many don't like you around here
No, I think Manu has some good years left. Spurs need to build around the big three; have the guys in place so when the transition comes, it won't be painful as in participating in the lottery.
Teams will not just give up their future. If you look anywhere it must be at a team who is near the top, possibly Phoenix. But, do you really want to do that? Come on now.
Anyone that says Manu was not the reason Spurs lost this series should go watch the tape.
Was he hurt? Certainly. Was he out of gas? Of course. But not acknowledging the fact that with Regular Season Manu Spurs would be in the NBA Finals is just blind.
Unfortunately for us, fatigue and injury kicked in at the worst possible time.
On the other hand stating that Manu is a choker is plain re ed.
I think Manu's health was a huge reason the Spurs lost the series. However, the Spurs and Manu should have come up with a way to adjust. They didn't. No excuses. The Lakers took advantage of the Spurs weaknesses and capitalized. They were the better team and mostly because the Spurs had 1/4 of Manu. Someone on the Spurs should have stepped up. Barry did a good job of that in game four, but others should have chipped in too.
