I am sorry but having MANU handle the ball like that when you know Artest is going to be on him is just flat out stupid. Is Tony your ing PG or not and he does not have the ball in that spot with Bibby on him what the was he thinking.
I agree.
Yeah Manu completely sucked ass, but Pop is the one who gave him the instructions.
I STILL don't understand the isolation, clock running .
We should encorporate passes so we have more ing options to have better chances at either getting fouled or at least getting a shot up for that matter.
When's the last time TONY was given the ball in crunch time? Manu is almost always given that opportunity because he's clutch, Pop called it right.
this loss is on the gods of basketball. i really can't blame anyone
Whens the last time someone made a thread with this le
and the starter's name was NOT Aggie
This loss is not on pop
unfortunately, Ginobili, in one of his extremely rare times, stiffed in a clutch situation.
Pop gave it to the right guy.
Manu is an incredible player, but NOT TONITE.. he really sucked, and there is NO WAY he should have been handling the ball for that last play. Everyone, even Manu can have an off day, and Pop should have let someone else control that last play...
On to game 4
It was a good call to give Manu the ball but he should've waited for the foul. I don't understand why he drove to the hoop.
It just made no sense TONY is your PG not MANU with Artest on him it is insane to give him the ball in that spot, Artest was killing him the whole game.
Manu tried to pass out to Tony at the three with Bibby right next to him, granted he probably was foul, he should have done something better with it, like drove it to the basket try to score or pass out.
Pffft.... don't forget game 2. Manu hand the ball before passing it off down the baseline to Brent. I have waaaay more confidence with Ginobili as the playmaker on a final possession.
Manu was a fukkin dip the whole game. Dude should've been on the bench. He doesn't impress me for .
This loss is solely on Manu Ginobili.
How is that a good call when Artest who was killing him was guarding him, Tony is your PG he gets the ball not MANU.
Whoa. Calm down. We all have known for some time now that this team was not prepared for the post season. Also, they have proven to be too soft; so don't take it so personal.
Just hope, pray, and continue to cheer.
Well, in a sense I agree with you, but Ginobili did a pretty good job setting up Finley the possession before, so even though Artest was owning Manu, I don't think keeping the ball in his hands was such a bad move. It just didn't work out, hindsight is 20/20.
shouldve just pass itto duncan and let him decide the end of the game.
Sincerely, game 2.I am sorry but having MANU handle the ball like that when you know Artest is going to be on him is just flat out stupid.
Dumbass.
game 2??He doesn't impress me for .
BTW, why isnt your man Carter steppin up for New Jersey?
He doesn't impress me for .
How is that a good call when Artest who was killing him was guarding him, Tony is your PG he gets the ball not MANU.
So you forget all the games where hes been clutch and won you games handling the ball, along with game 2??
Dude wake up.
Whoa. Calm down. We all have known for some time now that this team was not prepared for the post season. Also, they have proven to be too soft; so don't take it so personal.
talk about taking your stupid pills.....
Oh well...I don't wanna lose any more sleep over it. I'm just looking forward to Sunday, see hwo they respond to this loss. IT's terrible and this loss was horrid. Anyone catch the post game interviews, what did Pop mention?
I'm not making any excuses for Manu, because indeed he did have an off night. But come on people...the man was hit on the forearm, i.e. a foul. It wasn't called, we were stiffed. Obviously it's very hard to win them all, and I hate losing like this but I can't point fingers. On to the next game.
BTW did anyone notice how incredibly awesome Tim was tonight?
POP whould have called timeout when it was claer that Manu was stuck at almost halfcourt like that with only about 7 on the clock.
All Manu had to do was pass it to Tony one step sooner before he reached the double-team. It was not a bad decision by Pop. Manu usually makes the right plays at the end of games.
If he passes one step sooner, TP shoots with 4 seconds left and if he gets iron, it would likely be a long bounce. The Spurs were looking at a winning hand and they folded (even though Bibby got no ball, all arms). Bad decision by Manu.
A in' men.
Nothing against Tony or his skills as PG, but Manu is THE playmaker in the last minutes of the game. That's the way it's always been and it's been proven to work, why go against what you know works?
My man Manu had a great game 2 with Artest NOT PLAYING, he got his ass kicked out there tonight. TOny is your PG he should get the ball in that spot BIBBY is a ty defender we would have got a better shot.
what happened? i thought it was gonna be a sweep?
