When Manu fouled Damon Jones, you ????

[Borosai]

Manu should have elbowed Damon Jones in the head real good, in anticipatory retaliation, for that lame ass 3 he took at the end of the game.

I thought Manu got him on the head and with the body. So I didn't think it was a bad call. But no way in do I want to stop Manu from playing the way he does. He's not someone who can rein himself in and why the would you ever want him to. 90% of the time his energy and all out play is positive for the Spurs. I'll deal with the other 10% of the time.

yeah, it's hard to stay mad, when you see the guy using that same energy to dive for a loose ball, and running across the court at blazing speed to drain the clock, in surrounding plays. I'll take that over a guy who doses off in the final minutes.

Manu saved Spurs asses in game 4.
Without him, Sunday would be game 5 day and not parade day.
Yes, he makes a mistake with that foul but I don't know a single BB player who doesn't make mistakes. What is important is to do more good plays than bad plays.

Agreed, As for some calling it a low-IQ play, while ti's true, this guy isn't the usual J.R. Smith type player who wasn't thinking.. With Manu, it's less a case of being boneheaded, and more a case of him being possessed during the moment, trying to do everything for the team. The plays can't make sense because Manu's a smart player. Yet, he's always played at a high risk, high reward level and that's why it didn't really worry me.
That block I've seen him pull off before in vids, where they succeeded without contact. I remember the block he had on Kobe earlier this year also being in crunch time.

All I know is, if that's a foul, then Bowen got away with one on Dirk last year, because Manu got a lot less body and a lot more ball.

Clean block...Notice, there is no contact with Dirk's head...

I think the problem with the Manu block was that there was contact with the head a bit.

[Manudona]

So... if you guys think that it was a foul for there was contact to the head... why the did they count the block of Nate Robinson on Yao, when there was not only contact but he absolutely hit Yao's face? ing bull I tell you. bull .


Here is the block so nobody can claim ignorance :P

So, where are the guys who said it was a foul? Why do not explain this Nate's block?
