Go Manu.
This is Manu's game to shine. This could be a very defining moment for this possible le run and everything is setting up for Manu to have the stage to rise up.
The Heat have blitzed Parker. They have discussed Duncan. They know they have to get to guys like Green/Neal. The one guy they don't seem to be game planning for is Manu. He has not had that one great Manu game yet. Not sure if he will, but something feels like this is a moment for him to cement his part of the Big 3 in this series on what would be an unbelievable le run.
Tim/TP had that game one. Danny/Kawhi/Neal had that game 3. For a team to really grab a hold of this series, winning two in a row is likely key. They are at home, TP might be limited, Duncan is struggling some and no one is accounting for Manu.
The moment is there. Will Manu be?
Go Manu.
Kawhi Leonard would be nice too. He's playing very well on defense/boards, but for the most part he's missing baskets he usually makes. This is considering inside shots as well
I agree this is the one game we need Manu to rip one off, no stupid passes, just be the Manu of olden days.
manu's been taking it inside and been successful.
as for kawhi, i want him to post up bron bron even just once and i'll be a happy camper.
I think Manu is getting his confidence back as the series wears on, hope tonite he will erupt and remind everyone that the initial reports of his demise were greatly exaggerated
How many "Manu is ready to have a breakout game" threads are we gonna have? He's not the Manu of old. I hope he goes for 40 tonight but the chances of that happening are small. Its the same reason if Buford gives him a new contract more than 4-5 mil/year...we overpaid for him.
If Manu doesn't show up, he should retire after the season. If he can't play much in the regular season, and he completely s the bed in the playoffs, he shouldn't re-sign. He's ripe for a great game. Never more important than right now. Having said that, TD needs a 23 point ,15 rebound and 4 blocks game tonight.
No way, Manu is who he is. We shouldn't expect more.
This is good. This is healthy. It all adds to the allure of the moment.
Man... I hope, but I don't feel too confident about it.
He don't need 40..15 timely points on efficient shooting, 8-10 assists, on fewer turnovers with some key steals would be a great game for him at this point and something we could sorely use
First and foremost - you have a top 3 avatar on ST. Well done.
Secondly, that's the thing about recognizing moments. It's made up of doubts, fears and opportunity. It takes a certain type to see even the potential for a moment of greatness. It takes a spectacular person to seize that moment. The moment chooses one person and shows them the door. They must walk through it.
I was exaggerating but 15 points and 10 assists coming off the bench is asking alot too. A double/double?
If it comes down to the buzzer, I want Manu.
I'll take Timmy.
:
he was making them the last game. and he was quite impressive on the fast break. i had thought he'd go nuclear but took a back seat when the 3 ball rained heavy. but i'm not worried about him. he's been consistent in this series. and his rebounding and defense has been epic so far.
Exactly. Who the thought Danny green and Gary Neal would combine for 51 points in game 3?
This. Duncan needs to turn back the clock to 2002-2003. He needs to go out their and dominate those midgets. Use foot work and close range hook shots to dominate the post. If Manu and TD have monster games, then the Heat and the ref$ stand no chance.
Wondering if Manu needs to score big in order to be considered a great game for him? Or should a great game for Manu be by contributing a critical moments, for example by taking over in crunch time, getting timely steels and creating for his teammates with some great passes?
Can't speak for OP but we just need him to have a solid all around efficient game..make some plays out there and impact the game without dumb turnovers or dumb gambles on defense imho
I'll take Danny Green tbh.
All of the above. Whatever the Heat defense gives him. Whatever the Spurs system dictates as Manu likes to say.
True and insightful.
Unless they can no longer walk...
