well said
I deperately want Manu to stay healthy through the length of his contract. However that may be achieved, I'm fer it.
yeah ok i think the bench theory has dissolved
Yeah, couldn't be that you already had your mind made up regardless of the facts, could it?
The most predictable change following the Laker loss was Manu going back to the starting lineup. Pop does this all the damn time. No matter how well it works the moment they lose a game he moves him back to the starting lineup. Its knee jerk.
Lakers beat us bad......but overall gino seems pretty good off the bench but when he starts he is in the fourth from 6 minute mark......not like when Pop put him in the 3 minute mark during lakers game ...and then tony was just trying to let us know that he is "clutch player"....when we all know and even tony knows he is not...he even did not make his FTs

seriously, you're the Manu church version of ducks, equally idiotic
what can i say....i was in argentina for 3 weeks...and i tell you they fill your head with...........MANU
Good call, just like Ducks brings up Manu out of the blue in reference to Tony, this guy brings up Tony in reference to Manu.
Can't yous twos, hate on them individually like the rest of the Spurstalk regulars, without pitting them against each other?
That's why I think we all should just focus on Tim, because there's no polarization or accusations of favoring someone over the other, like with Manu and Tony.
We can harp all we want about for his crappy fourth-quarter FT performances, and not be accused of Churchiness because he's above the fray, an even higher deity.
Fine mark my words Tim is the only one I will talk about....
Heh, they did pretty well feeding each other in the Clippers game last night.extreme rarity would be 1 every 3 or 4 games, but it happens 2 to 3 times a game. But maybe that's what you mean by extreme rarity. I'll point out what I mean after the next game. I'll define what I mean by 15seconds no one touches the ball except Tony and then he takes a jumper.
It brought back memories of 2004 and 2005.
Both Tony and Manu either took advantage of an undermanned Clippers team and got in whenever they pleased and both got equal touches. So they can exist when the coach doesn't ride on only one player.
It was poetic.
Or maybe he just felt Manu's injury comeback had progressed to the point where he could play well against the other team's starters.
Sometimes we forget that the other team starts THEIR best players so your counterpart has to be the best you have to match up with them.
Conversely, when you put a starter against a second team player, he SHOULD be able to deliver.
that's not true. He stuck with Manu on the bench in the Seattle series in '05 after the spurs were almost in the tank. He then inserted Manu in the starting lineup and the rest is history. Last year he tried Manu off the bench with Finley starting and it ultimately didn't work.
I've never seen Manu off the bench work for a prolong period except in his rookie year.
As I said before, use Manu off the bench until it stops working.
Manu had a fine game yesterday starting.
At the end of the day, it does not depend wether Manu starts or comes off the bench, it depends on how Manu is playing that day. He has proven over and over again he can do both things.
Good post. The answer to your questions, my friend, is blowing in the wind.
Advice to Manu----protect your ass and try to avoid injuries that can cause you to miss games because it's to regain your starting spot
Boutons has really good basketball takes.
However, he is a freaking nut job.
Since he came back from his back injury, Manu has been playing with more energy.
