Blame Game

[Ghost Writer]

Bonner will start.

Horry turned into Ferry last playoffs... the old stiff version that could not guard anyone on the perimeter.

No one rebounded aside from Duncan.

Manu is still the real deal.

The Spurs danced Bonner around the media after the trade. When the Spurs get someone who is just a salary filler, they tend to pretendt hey don't exist.

They are just trying to make the best of the situation, but he does not fill any of their primary needs. It's not like the Spurs targeted Bonner as some prized player they wanted to trade for-- Toronto really wanted Rasho.

Would one of the mods please change furry's le from "Believe" to "Panic", please?

[furry_spurry]

I'm not panicked. I am at utter peace because I know the truth.

I like how if anyone else brought all this old stuff up, folks would be all over him/her.

Being from the old school earns you some credit. It's called respecting your elders. Believe me, if GW ever comes back like the GW of old, there will be plenty of folks getting 'all over him'.

Regardless of what Walton proclaims, GW is the original straw that stirs the drink.

I think the question remains- can Manu and Horry ever repeat what they did in 2005?

Manu just needs to be injury free - he was injured multiple times last season and this complicated things for him. Injuries need time to heal.

And Horry just needs to be Horry. He has had countless seasons where he played as good as he did in the 05 playoffs.

Manu made a lot of mental mistakes in the play-off this year and Horry has only had one good play-offs in the past 4 years. 2003, 2004, & 2006 were not good.

And Manu doesn't give them time to heal. Combined with the way he plays, he may not serve out the remainder of his contract. He'll retire due to nagging problems with injuries.

The ref in game 4 for the foul at the end on Bruce.
Manu for his foul on Dirk (we wouldn't have been in the game w/o him though).
Our centers for not being able to impact the game enough to stay on the floor.
NVE for being old and shot.
Our whole team for laying a scomplete egg in game 2 and the first half of game 7.
Ginobili for not forcing Harris to go to his weak left hand earlier (took him 4-5 games to figure out Harris is right handed).
The NBA rule changes for making defense illegal and touching somebody on defense (even with your pinky) a foul.

There's plenty of blame to go around every time you lose though.
