Manu Ginobili

[TMTTRIO]

Manu's been so bad and making horrible decisions to go along with it I'm not sure if I want him to get much time in the next series of games. Might as well go with the young guys.

TP had 6 TO tonight...

Manu will step up against OK, book it.

[ducks]

the shooters will be able to hit the guym and practice their shooting

Is there a way to know the results of Manu when he initially goes to the right on the pick and roll compared to when he goes left?

It seems to me that he gets to the rim more often when he starts going to the right and midroad changes to the left. When he goes to his left since the beginning he's not able to turn the corner and has to pass the ball.

I don't worry about Manu Ginobili right. The day I'll start worrying is when the Spurs need him to deliver and he doesn't. So far, the Spurs haven't needed much from him so the fact that he hasn't given a huge amount isn't concerning.

Besides, I like the fact that this playoff run is almost exactly like the 2007 playoff run:

Manu Ginobili's First 7 Games of 2012 Playoff Run
25.9 minutes
11.3 points
3.4 rebounds
4.6 assists
2.3 turnovers
39.4% from the field
28.1% on three-pointers

Manu Ginobili's First 7 Games of 2007 Playoff Run
27.8 minutes
11.6 points
5.6 rebounds
4.0 assists
1.9 turnovers
32.5% from the field
25% on three-pointers


Pretty damn similar, tbh.


Let's hope Ginobili can have anywhere near the success he had to close out the 2007 playoffs:

Manu Ginobili's Final 13 Games of 2007 Playoff Run
31.3 minutes
19.4 points
5.4 rebounds
3.5 assists
2.2 turnovers
43.5% from the field
43.7% on three-pointers



With Ginobili, I'm confident he'll eventually heat up. He always has at some point in the playoffs. And if I got to pick a time to heat up, it'd be in the WCF. Ginobili isn't the type of player who stays hot for looooong stretches so instead of being needlessly hot now I hope he catches fire in the WCF.

In Manu, I trust

Not really, he does do that, but IDK if it's most of the time. He has been doing it during the middle of quarters and he's lucky one went in a few games back.

Not sure what games you have been watching but in the games I've seen Manu has been vintage and carrying the 2nd unit. When he's not harassing guys into turnovers out on the perimeter or grabbing tough contested rebounds he's been a constant threat to get into the paint and get a hoop or the harm. He's also setting the table for other guys at a good clip.

The problems in the 2nd unit have been mostly due to everyone else. Splitter & Bonner in particular I thought have played below par on both sides. Bonner has predictably wilted and Tiago looks unsure of himself (and can't shoot a free throw anymore).

Manu Ginobili just being Manu Ginobili, tbh.

Haven't we had this discussion before ? He's going to be fine. As we get deeper and the stakes get higher, Manu will be at his best.

All will be forgotten when he's nails against the Thunder or Lakers ON THE ROAD.

This.

any doubters out there?
