shoogbeer was right did not take long for the church of manu to start a thread about manu after a great game
You do realize Parker didn't even play today, right?
no he has no idea
he is to busy sucking the eagles players
Manu almost singlehandedly beats Dallas the other night. Noone can deny he is carrying us right now. I also can't complain about Duncan or Parker, but the rest of the team needs to wake the up, especially Pop or Manu's efforts will not mean .
When Manu hears his Muse, Manu makes beautiful Music.
It's a somewhat fragile, unreliable situation, but when it happens, you really want to be watching.
Parker, take your time with that hip injury. Manu and Duncan can come and carry the load.
Manu was awesome. But Tony can't miss much time. The Spurs were playing the Grizzlies today. Every game won't be the same.
That being said, I don't think there's much wrong with Tony and think he'll probably be back next game.
the big three should socre about 60
manu and duncan cmbinned for 44 today
they were lucky they played mem
Manu is rounding back into 2005 form.
*knocks on wood*
It was also great to see Horry contribute.
With TP on court today, Manu would finished with 16 ...
No, he probably would have had around 25 like his last few games.
Those games are the type TP loves, besides that POP used to keep Manu for resting purposes.
any spectacular plays?????
Heh, looks like Manu's really keeping in rhythm 6 of 8 3's that's insane! I wish I could have seen the game.
I read the game blog though,Ducks seems to be having a mental breakdown
Manu has been pretty sharp so far this season. I don't think we will see him with another 48pt outburst against an elite team on the road (like in 05), so it doesn't really matter if his stats are superior to that season -- he will always be perceived as playing inferior to 2005.
Of course most people are referring to his 2005 PLAYOFFS which were incredible statistically and from purely observational standpoint. I don't know if you can expect him to play that well again. I mean from an offensive standpoint he was an awesome 2nd banana, and probably was the best offensive player on the team during that playoff run-- despite Duncan still being the #1 option. Not many second guns play that well consistently year to year in the playoffs -- so perhaps Manu was lucky that year. But he can play 'somewhat' close to that level again if he stays healthy.
I hope he does, but if you hold Manu to his 05 playoffs you are probably in for a dissapointment, because he was unreal for those 2 1/2 months. I can't remember a second gun being so productive offensively since Kobe Bryant in 2001. And before that? Probably Pippen in 1991. Not saying Manu is on their level as an overall player, but he is capable of playing extremely well offensively as a second banana. Won't force too many shots and still score like a legit second banana. But time will tell. If he stays healthy he will at least be a solid 2nd/3rd option -- hopefully he can impose his will and stay healthy when the playoffs come around.
But I hope he can keep playing well in the regular season. It can only help his confidence. With Tony's vast improvements, this team shouldn't have problems on offense as long as the role players contribute like they are supposed to.

I suck at finding sites with stats. Does anybody know his % beyond the arc since he came back from the back injury?
My wild guess is that it over or close to 50%.
he does not look like a cherry but a bananna in that pic
37-74 (50%) in 17 games.
Will MANU be an ALLSTAR?
