Bingo. He passes out a lot. Granted he'll look for the assist. But he needs to insist on his game and his offense will start happening.
9 shots in 27 minutes. That's around two shot attempts every quarter.
sorry, but while the spurs played poorly, pop's horrific subs ution continue to hurt this team. we needed more finley, and while horry took only one shot, his D is much better than both elson or oberto's.
horry and duncan should be on the floor together in the 4th along with finley, parker, and manu

When Ginobili decides to play like Manu instead of Brent Barry, thats when he'll get more isos called.
He got lots of plays called for him and he chose to pull up and shoot, or pull up and pass.
That simple.
Oh, fer sake, this loss is not on Pop. It's on all the players not named Duncan (and Tony, who tried to no avail). They showed no intensity or will to win.
They'll come out firing in game 3 though, mark my words on that.
Parker just said, that they're looking to try to get him going, and had some great looks, but they just didn't go in.
I really think it's something Manu has to solve by himself. He's much more capable of these crap outputs, so it sucks to see him waste his abilities. He can get around any defense if he's determined.
People called me crazy when I said that Manu will get traded this summer...
Suns had to win one sometime. They're still a team the Spurs are supposed to beat and the Spurs will beat them. Then the championship will be ours.
TP and Manu were terrible and our D even worse, that's why we lost
Geez, some things never change...Kevin O'Keefe and Bob Hill still have relatives trolling these boards...![]()
I couldn't watch the game. I notice alot of you guys saying that Manu and Parker both sucked it up pretty good last night. The question I have is did we suck it up due to the Suns defense, or did we just go through our normal "bonehead" lapses that seem to befall us a game or two every playoffs.
He doesn't need more isos called![]()
Isos are not a strength of this team. You need pick and rolls and give and gos.
That's what Manu and Tony have lived off of the last several years. Last night we turned them into spot up shooters or iso ball players.
And you wonder why they struggled...
It would also help if Manu could get more than 5 minutes of run with a lineup of someone other than Vaughn, Finley, Oberto, and Barry. As good as we expect Manu to be, he can't do it playing two on five. Even Phoenix can look good on D when they only have to guard two players.
well lets see. pop starts manu then he doesn't , then he does again. oh, and then he doesn't. maybe this has an effect on manu's flow of the game after awhile. sure he played well at first but maybe thats when he thought he was earning his starting spot back. now that he knows no matter what he does pop doesn't plan to start him again, he's confidence level might be way down. so can u blame pop for manu's play lately? Why the not.
what the was pop thinking??? doing stupid experiments in the 4th quarter!?!??!?!
