Spurs vs. Bulls Nov. 17th -- Game Blog

Elson needs to show something other than fouling in the second half.

Popovich's advice works to perfection. Nice pass from Parker to Finley for the three.

[Sam]

Beno for Parker?

This is so ing stupid. For some reason our offense has turned Manu into a weakside catch and shoot 3-point guy. He's not Steve Kerr, he's not Brent Barry. He's not somebody who can just pop three pointers after not having touched the ball for 20 minutes. He needs to have rhythm to be able to shoot the ball. I don't know what they're doing, but I'm getting sick of it. They've basically frozen him out of the offense. He just sits on the weakside every offensive set and doesn't touch it for like six, eight possessions at a time.

What happened to giving it to him at the top of the key? What happened to pick and rolls?

I don't understand it.

I was kind of thinking that myself. They really don't even let Ginobili touch the ball for about 5+ possessions. Half his shots are spot up three pointers these days.

Manu's taking this "saving himself and not relying on his old game" too far I'm thinking. He's not a three point specialist. He has do it all around, to give him enough spacing when he gets into a rhythm, that's when the shots start falling for him .

If he continues to clunk shots, he needs to reevaluate his approach/adjustment.

They're still mad at him for fouling Dirk.

What a dumb foul Beno

[Sam]

Maybe Manu needs to spend some time with the shooting guru, Chip.
