Official hate on Manu the scapegoat thread

[ElNono]

“He hasn’t shot it well, but it’s just the way it is,” Popovich said, of Ginobili. "Sometimes somebody doesn’t shoot well.”

Manu airballing a 3 then a few seconds later fouling on a made-3G was the worst I remember.

I have said it a million times. The man doesn't THINK. He will jack up a long three and brick it at the very start of a possession when a shot clock violation would be better. He will fire a risky cross court pass after a steal for a turnover instead of setting the offense. He will foul a guy when told not to under any cir stances. Out of control.

Pop needs to bench him and send a message.

If we ignore the defensive side of the ball, he was one of the top 3 worst players on the floor. If we take into account the defensive side of the ball, he was the worst player on the floor.

True.

This being said, Parker was certainly not in MVP form, Kawhi was playing totally out of control, and Duncan looked really old. I think it's about time to remove Duncan's jumper at the top of the key from the list of Spurs plays. He got I don't know how many wide open looks in Game 5 and bricked all of them except 1. Duncan is only able to score in the paint or on a bank shot with a good angle (and just outside the paint too). Everything else he's going to miss.

Another Manu pity thread? Please, let the poor man rest in peace.

Yeah, he's shot about 30% around the top of the key during the postseason, and he wasn't much better during the regular season. I think he'll need to roll more instead of stepping out after the P&R.

Manu was a nightmare. not that bad. He was sodom and gomorrah
