This. Play smart.
I have a better alternative. Don't turn it over... A bad shot is better than no shot
This. Play smart.
He's trying to make something happen, he's a trying to make a play. The other guys on the team aren't decisive enough, don't demand the ball and don't want to step up and take the game.
None of them are willing to create or risk making a big play themselves. Even Diaw pussied out by not taking the open 3s that were there for him. Diaw was looking to pass yet again or drive into the defense for a worse shot. Terrible stuff from some of the players on this team. They all have to step up and be tougher mentally and play strong out there.
For the Manu fanbois, a Manu up is just proof that's he's trying. In other words, he can do no wrong.
Ehh, there's some knee jerking and trolling going on...
So true!
You boys are horrible trolls, tbh...
Manu has slated this playoffs this year.. you guys need to reinvent yourself and make a new schtick...
I do worry when he's trying to do too much. It normally means we're trying to rely too much on a guy that isn't what he used to be.
It worked to close out OKC last round, but the Spurs need more from everyone else.
it's a fullproof strategy tbh.
Hey, I was on Manu last season, and I was hard on him after that season, but my eyes are wide open. Last season is over, we're in a new finals series, but you guys just won't get your heads out of your asses. Get your head out of your ass and wake up. You can't keep saying the same thing over and over again. He's playing much better these playoffs and he has to as no one else is willing to step up and make the plays.
He is playing better but he can't screw up like that! Unforced errors!
I know he can't, I know he ed up and made mistakes. I will definitely admit that. No problem with that, but what I am asking is - what is the alternative? No one else on the team can create or make plays out there. He's been guarded by great players, the guys that are guarded by the lesser players can't make their defender pay. Either because they're too timid to try and make a play in case they stuff up, because they can't create or make a move for themselves, or simply because they're not mentally locked in.
Splitter was downright pathetic again. Wasn't it game 2 last season where he got the blocked out of him? What the are we going to do with the softy, Splitter, himself? I feel like I could rip his arms out of his sockets, he just looks that weak out there when he's trying to go up on offense. His upper body looks big and strong, but why does he end up looking like a weakling when he goes up to the rim and ends up getting the blocked out of him?
Manu is incapable of being brilliant while avoiding being reckless? Is that what it is?
I can think of three or four avoidable mistakes he made that could have been the difference. If everyone else is being dumb he needs to be that much better. Otherwise we are just screwed...
He does need to try to cut those turnovers out, but other players need to step up and play better too. We really could have gotten a bigger lead in that second quarter, but Pop and his belineli and splitter lineup in the second quarter when we were looking to blow the game open doesn't help either.
Sigh.... Even one fewer turnover from Manu would help......
Ill stand by Manu, he's proven this year that he can play big when the moment calls
Uh... *whispers* The moment called. He threw it out of bounds...
This kind of idiotic, removed from reality, spoiled criticism is what drew many good old school posters away from this forum. This Manu hate squad are a sad bunch who repeat a broken record based on their own misconceptions.
They can't be reasoned with, even with all the evidence provided to them over the years, they made up an idea in that space full of diarrhea that they call brain and that can't be changed until the toilet is flushed, that is, the moment when their pathetic lives will end.
They ignore the good, and call out the few bad plays, and even when it's a 50-50 call, they blame it on Manu. They obviously haven't stepped a basketball court, never in that awful time that they call their lives. It's a game where you're are going to make mistakes, the key being keep coming back and get over them. But this sad bunch of overweight, poorly informed keyboard warriors should have no voice at all concerning anything else than getting their fat asses off the couch to grab some -flavoured food, their favourite taste.
They have no other purpose other than to wait a mistake by what has been the best Spurs player in the playoffs, to come here and bump their own ty threads, like they were scoring points for the special Olympics, and proceed to pat themselves in the back, like a group of Down's syndrome gots.
This forums can take many things, ty threads, bad GNSF takes, parrot trolling downstairs; but I have absolutely no doubt that it would be a much better place if this -drinking, dildo-shoving, tranny-loving brigade was wiped off the map.
Since the way this forums operates that is not an option, we should stick to mock, ignore and look down patronizingly at these sad little s who enter a circle jerk of disgusting proportions every time one of the players of the team they suposedly support doesn't do what these couch experts expect.
Won't read your ty replies. You can all off and then off some more. Go eat some , s, wankers.
I will only blame Manu for that behind the back step back jumper. I've been saying for years he doesn't have it anymore. Other than that Tim should have caught that ball, no excuse
Back to Finals form

Manu is not the problem this time
TP ed us in Enrique mode after hitting that 3
Both Parker and Turnobili ed up big time
Agreed.
Manu has been the Spurs best player these playoffs, yet people keep bringing up last season, for what? Why not get on Parker and Duncan for ing up? He sure as wouldn't have missed 4 free throw in a row if he was taking them. Inexcusable from TP to miss 2 in a row, TD should have at least made one free throw out of 2. Not good enough from either of those two.
Yeah let's just ing forget last year when he cost the Spurs a championship against the SAME team... Parker was hurt after an elbow, Duncan isn't a reliable free throw shooter... And Manu pulling a Manu with a clutch turnover and ISO right after for a brick
