Manu F- - - - - - -

I agree. Manu has played, what, one good quarter in this series? He just looks like he's finished. He can't create, he can't get to the rim, he can't pull up and hit a jumper. His defense is okay, but he's not getting those steals like he used to.

He was godawful in the 4th. Repeatedly flailing into the paint and throwing up horrible "shots", hoping the refs would bail him out by calling fouls. Manu? Wake up. The refs ain't going to call those fouls, so stop that crap.

But you know, if a player is sucking, the god-damn coach is supposed to realize that and give his minutes to someone who's hot, like Brent Barry. Once again, Poopavitch refused to ride the hot hand. Barry was drilling his shots, but compare his minute's to Ginobili's. I blame Poopavitch for this loss.

Why the Spurs were shooting jumpers when D'Antoni went super-small is mind-boggling. Why they didn't go after Amare when he came back in with 5 fouls the way the Suns went at Duncan is astonishing. The timeouts, as Timvp mentioned, I think actually were benefitting the Suns more than the Spurs. The Suns were able to switch Amare and KT on the O and the D and set their plays. The Spurs got lackadaisacal and did nothing but jumpshoot themselves out of the 4th quarter.

he can't drive to the damn hole for em.

Wow, I guess Spurs fans like Ginobili?

Because from what I saw, he's the one that cost you the game. 10 points the entire game, botched layups/TO's settling for 3 pointers, going one on one instead of passing when he should and passing when he should score...he's been doing this 3 games out of 4. When he is supposedly your team's 2nd best player, you should expect slightly more than that....

Totally agree with you.

Pop does more and more uncommon sense things. I think he outsmarts himself. I thought he sat Duncan too long even prior to his fourth foul - as if he was already saving him for the conference finals. His one good move of the game was when he told Barry to just shoot the ball and stop passing when he was too scared to shoot in the last part of the first quarter.

He tells him that everynight.

He better be ready to jack shots up tommarow.
