    By "forcing things" I don't mean being aggressive. I mean overcompensating for a perceived deficiency. If he's missing shots, he will try to pass more and not shoot. If he's turning the ball over, he'll stop passing. We need him to be Manu, good or bad just go out and attack relentlessly and make them make plays on you.
    Well said! Manu need to play the style of basketball he knows without fear or doubt. I have no doubt he will be there on Sunday as determined as we've ever seen him. He will probably have a much better game. I think game 3 he showed what he is capable of at this stage, as he did provide a spark off the bench and possibly inspired the young players. He knows whay he needs to do.

    My optimistic perspective: tied 2-2 -- where this series would be at this point had both teams took care of business at home. Winner of game 5 wins the entire thing, imo.

    The Spurs need to come out desperate. This is the one perk of the 2-3-2 format ... we get to play at home for the chance to be one away.

    Pop needs to grab him and tell him you're taking 10+ shots tonight, and we're gonna run some stuff off the ball to get you one-on-one and I want you to go to the rack. If you make or miss, we'll live with it.

    Completely agree with your assessment. I think that slump got in his head, and he's not going to get out of it until he gets two or three shots to go in, or gets some sort of flow going.
    That's probably exactly what we will see.

    I still believe the Spurs can win this series and I guarantee the Spurs win on Sunday and Ginobili will be a key reason why.

    That's the downside to Pop treating Ginobili like a china doll. It takes away his aggressiveness. He believes we have enough weapons so he's looking to pass. The problem is the other team realizes that and they play him for the pass. He needs to be more aggressive so that he's less predictable. He's not even looking at the rim right now. He's also needs to stop telegraphing and jumping before he makes those passes.

    Truth.... unfortunately his interview today was not too promising, as again he was talking down scoring. As long as he is no threat offensively he will get picked off and easily read. He needs to shoot the ball and drive for his passing to be effective. I think we'll see a more aggresive Manu on Sunday despite what he said today.

    P.S. Manu did talk about playing aggresively and being a threat...
