Ginobli Doesn't Get Enough Hate

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker has run himself into the ground with all the international play, like Manu.

And yet, he's still planning on playing even MORE international ball this summer. TP's priorities are definitely ing backasswards

[Pauleta14]

WTF the le of the thread?!?!?

Spurtalk fan a soooo spoiled lmao

[50Bestspurever]

"But the past is the past" like last year? wat a ing stupid waste of time thread.

[Hoops Czar]

Painful watching CoJo trying to defend Lilliard. It was like reliving an episode of Boy Meets World.

[apalisoc_9]

But what exactly should Manu be doing?

Green took more shots this game, there was effort to get him involved.

The team lacked creators in the offensive end since Jospeh is a horrible PG..

Who is the alternative?

[Cloud786]

Why do we keep giving Manu a pass? As much as I love him for what he has done, he cost us 2 championships (2006, 2013) with some of the most egregious boneheaded plays I have ever seen. Just cause he helped us win the other 4 championships, should not give him a pass for his screw-ups. If only we could know what goes on inside of that head of his...

you mean this year... but yeah...

[Pocho La Pantera]

Bad game, rest him a week and move on, maybe Bellinelli can do what he does, gots.

[milkyway21]

Seriously why does nobody call this bum out for what he his? He has a good game every once in a while, or clutch ridiculous shot (after missing 10 in a row) and everyone is like "OMG MANU THE BEST EVER". But the majority of the time he flops, turns the ball over, complains about calls while the game goes on, takes stupid shots that ANYONE else on the team would get ing called out for, turns the ball over, goes complete dumbass HERO mode forgot-how-to-pass whenever he get the ball in crunch time situations, and then turns the ball over again.

Green is dependable, clutch, better shooter, a MUCH better defender, and deserves ALL the crunch time minutes and plays that are currently called for this overrated relic of a previous dynasty.

Edit: Also would like to point out that I got mad love for what Gino has done for this franchise. But the past is the past, and people need to evaluate his play in the here-and-now and not as an overall body of work (for current performance).

I wonder why people just go out their way to discredit the players of this team. Pointing fingers. Disrespecting.
Oklahoma, Phoenix, Houston fans can take the losses why can't we?. The Spurs won 5 les. Still we complain a lot

FYI, I LOVE THE SPURS BECAUSE OF DUNCAN & MANU that's why I am cheering for this team

NOT that, I am cheering for Duncan or Manu because he's a Spur.

There's a difference.

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu is still good for 20-23 minutes, but with all the injures Pop is playing him more and it's clear Manu can't play all those minutes. At the end we see he has nothing in tank. When everybody is back Manu will be fine in his 20-23 minutes

[313]

Ironically, Manu has cost us 1 championship, but without him, we don't win those other 3... so take it for what it is.

he cost us 2. 06 and 13 fwiw tbh not a manu hater just stating facts

[313]

And you can't throw Manu under the bus for 2013 without mentioning TP and his horrendous shooting performance in games 6 and 7.

A 37 year shooting guard should never be expected to run the team's offense.

Meanwhile, our 32 year old "all-star" point is sitting out every night sulking on the bench. Stockton at age 32 played 82 games, 35 minutes every night averaging 15/12 while playing physical defense. Wish we had a pointguard half as durable or reliable as him.

Manu, at age 31, played 44 games the entire season so Manu lovers should be the last ones crucifying a player about their durability.

Got em coach

[Agloco]

Parker deserves more blame for '06 than Manu. His entire series against Dallas was underwhelming. And you can't throw Manu under the bus for 2013 without mentioning TP and his horrendous shooting performance in games 6 and 7.

I recall Parker having a hammy issue at the end of that series. Surely that playes a part in all of that. Difference is, Manu is supposedly healthy during these horrendous stretches.

Right now hes got the look of a player that's mentally checked out. Yes he's played long minutes, but it goes beyond that.

[Agloco]

The only certain one he cost us was 13. Why does everyone assume the Spurs would have won in 06? That's faulty logic.

[jag]

Gonna be a sad day when he retires. Seems like it was yesterday I was watching his Euroleague games online and telling everyone about Euro Carter coming over.

I miss him already tbh

[look_at_g_shred]

He gets enough hate.

Well put. Manu at 20 minutes per game is perfect for this team. You are asking for trouble playing him anything beyond that. Extended minutes effects him physically and mentally - poor shot selection, poor lift on his shots, poor passes, everything. Yet, he does all he possibly can to try and win games. I'll take Manu on this team any day.

I'm wondering why Baynes didn't play more. He could have given TD more rest.

[TheGreatYacht]

He doesn't get enough hate.

Haha, name me a time Enrique has struggled simply due to an increase in compe ion. Everytime he struggled vs OKC or Miami it was conveniently due to some minor injury. It's like he's unstoppable and the only thing that can slow him down are injuries.

[BatManu20]

Who's to say we end up winning in '06 though? And that was prime Manu still, without him, that series doesn't even go 7 games. '13 was definitive.

[TheGreatYacht]

Replace Manu with another decent SG that would've gotten his $7,428,000 in 06, and the Spurs are champs. Fact.

[UZER]

I miss him already too. Not sure who the guy wearing #20 for the spurs right now is.
