Manu will be out for blood in game 4. I think you will see an incredible effort from him. He is TOO MUCH of a compe or not to.
And you're not getting me: The chances of Parker turning the ball over without a shot, guarded by Bibby, are about the same as the sun going out in the next five seconds. Leading by one, he doesn't have to make a play, just get up a shot. I think Tony could have managed that. In fact, a missed shot at the shotclock buzzer would have been better than a make. In the melee for the rebound, the game clock probably would have expired.

he will try but with Artest on him it will be very tough for him to play great. what im surprised about is parker not playing well considering he had bibby on him who cant stop my grandma from scoring.
uh..i would say this loss is on Martin, a spurs killer!
who would have thought that! last year if you told me he would be playing like this i would laugh in your face.
Man, Tony is not a guy with out TO precisely, he does not assure us good decisions in crunch time.
I just assure you one thing, if we switch positions between Manu and Tony, and was Tone who's made the TO, we'd have today a Thread at least
with 25 pages, talking about Pop and his bad decision, and also bashing Tony' play.
His effort won't matter. Ron Artest is not suspended for game 4.
Lets revisit this AFTER game 4. Seriously, tho, you dont really think the Kings can beat the Spurs in a playoff series do you? Please say you don't after I bragged on you in this forum.![]()

The King hardly won against a Spurs' Team, just with TD playing his level.
You guys, don't have a chance against the Champ. Game 3 was lost by the Spurs, it wasn't won by the Kings.
Ron Artest wasn't suspended for game 1, either.

it was won by bibby with the steal and martin with the clutch basket. haha, your post is pretty funny, even for a spurs fan.
Nope, it was lost by Manu in an infantile play; thing that you will never see again. A player never can lose the ball, with 3.4 seg left on the clock and up for 1.
Actually if you want to about the last play, Manu could have pulled up with about 2 left on the shot clock, five on the game clock, and thrown the ball way into the rafters. As long as he didn't hit anything, the clock wouldn't stop running until the ball hit the ground or it ran out.![]()
exactly, he could've should've junked that mother er into the rafters.
The Spurs would be up 3 to 0. But no, our philosophy is to massage the opponent.
that.
Don't forget Artest wasn't absolutely owning Manu in game 2.Pffft.... don't forget game 2. Manu hand the ball before passing it off down the baseline to Brent.
Artest didn't play!!! Game 3 was NOT game 2.
I agree with the topic starter. All on POP this one.
For once, a team overplayed and compensated for Manu's left. The playoffs are about adjustments and Manu needs to be ready to give the Kings another look if they continue to overplay his left hand.
Also, Manu did get fouled but he has to know he is not going to get that call to decide the game(especially with Salvatore). He was kinda of flopping to draw the foul.
Props to Kevin Martin because that shot was incredible.
I am going to be patience, as an argerntinian fan i have watched a couple of manu´s games since manu played in italy. This is not the first time manu will have to struggle against an adversity so i have to wait his answer.
lets not forget the game in detroit last year where we had the ball and dished it to the wide open horry
Like every Spur fan, I love Manu and there is certainly no denying what a great player he is. The things that I love about him, the fearlessnes, his relentless determination, his compe ive nature and yes even his awkwardness are qualities that make him unique.
Combine the innate ability to draw fouls, the ability to finish at the rim and an ability to thread passes to cutting teammates and you have a truly great player. Unfortunately, at times, he is also a "high risk", "high reward" type of player.
With all that said, I pin this last loss on him. He was flat out terrible. Everybody has "off" games. Yet he compounded the misery with the incessant turnovers, a slew of forced passes, bumbling dribble drives in traffic that often ended up in the opposition's hands and constant looking for bail-out calls from the officials. He simply tried to do too much when he was having a off-night.
I was glad to see him take responsibility for his role in the last loss. I still love him as a player and I fully expect him to come back with a vengence on Sunday night.
He will be an even better player when he develops he learns to pick his spots when to attack, learning when to take what the defense gives him, and consistently and accurately passing out of double teams teams. Michael Jordan used to call this "letting the game come to you."
Let's hope it happens sooner than later.
you have no idea![]()
