I'm just finding out thanks to this thread...
Nothing to spin. I'm on the record I would've preferred he didn't play, but c'est la vie... He gave us everything this season, I can't complain about him...
Exactly. Parker looked like Ginobili did last season in the Finals. He limped throughout the 2nd half of the playoff run and that's when Kawhi picked up the slack.

Just means that the Spurs need to resign Patty no matter what the cost if they want to win again next year.
he played well but you're reaching. Why did he play well? Because he didn't play in some bs Euro league tournament.
He sat out last year because it was contract time and he knew he was going to lose money if he didn't.
Agreed but it's looking like he's going to be one of our worst players next year. Imagine 2013 Manu but two years older...yikes.
no, he was our best player throughout the playoffs.
And did this ever go through your mind: "He played well because he was healthy"
Yeah, they keep saying he's an "international" player, but c'mon, he's from the US Virgin Islands. Might as well have been born in Florida.
Does he start for them? How heavy are his minutes? If they get eliminated in the first game how much rest will he get?
Again folks, this doesn't have the hurt the Spurs at all (assuming he doesn't get injured). Just sit him out for 2 months.
They can easily do without him for first 1/3 of season. Just need him healthy and rested for playoffs.
We've got Kawhi and Patty...Spurs will cruise to yet another 50+ win season and a top seed in the West. Rest Manu for the playoffs.
Well his country can pay him 7 million then. And he was good but lets not overrate his value. Kawhi is the reason we won this season. A true American hero. How are the cats though?
i'm not angry at him for playing for his national team. i will be angry if he's playing a load of minutes and gets hurt, though.
I'm sure the twenty people that watch basketball in Argentina will care but most don't even know who the Ginobili is. Messi and the football team are the number one priority right now.
Yes. He is as American as Freedom and fake s.
He was healthy because he rested his TOSB legs over the summer. Jesus Christ stop being a troll.
He's their MJ.. he will get a lot of minutes... only for ten games though
If anything, the entire tournament lasts 15 days... maybe even less if they get kicked out early... just gotta hope there's no injuries...
I mean, this is pretty much what it'll come down to.. Pop is gonna not only find days to rest Manu but also Tim. It's not a big deal. The season is very long
This said Manu was the Spurs' best player in the playoffs... I've seen it all
look man I know you're upset but don't reach.. he's their most famous basketball player and is one of the top 3 most famous Argentinans in the world...
Doesn't matter. He was still our best player and most consistent this offseason and he can do whatever he wants you .
