I disagree. Manu will play just as well off the bench. He desperately needs to stop with the constant settling for jumpers.
what do yall think? Manu is the only way we have a chance to win this series, he needs more min. and he needs to drive more and play with balls. hes simply the x factor...

I dont know. Karl is obsessed with the idea of stop Manu.
I think he needs to start driving to the basket and quit cranking up ill-advised threes.
exactly who would score off the bench if manu left it?
I think Manu is still fine coming from the bench. He just did not play ball last night. After seeing Duncan and Parker bricking their shots in the first 6 minutes of the game, I was kind of relieved seeing Manu going to the scorer's table. The energy and aggressiveness was not just there last night.
what does starting have to do with him playing unagressive?
It's a tough call. Manu would give the starting unit more energy and better options if he were to resume his starting position, but then the bench punch would have to come from Finley, since Barry has a very fragile state of mind.
manu as a starter would probably not be double-teamed. Manu off the bench is being double-teamed since the Nuggets have no respect for the other players from the second unit.
It's a tough call.
yes if we don't win game 2
I say we start Barry. if he's not going to be producing a whole lot, then let him start, and bring double the firepower with Fin and Manu off the bench. I think we should being in Ely for the Nene matchup
That's just the type of lame ass, predictable 'adjustment' that Pop thinks is creative enough to work.
Hoping that Manu, seeing Duncan and Parker not hitting their shots would somehow bring in the energy coming from the bench. Last night, we had fewer FTs.
I did not say that Manu will not be aggressive if he starts. But if he was a starter last night, and he was off along with Duncan and Parker, who would you look into the bench to provide the necessary spark?
No no no, clearly, that would destroy the Spurs' bench, and clearly, the team with the better bench, not the starting 5, wins the game.
Starting Barry and doubling the bench firepower with manu and Finley might not be a bad idea, since barry, who I like as a person and as a good guy, is somewhat hesitant to shoot while Finley will let it go if given the opportunity.
Starting Oberto instead of Elson might also not be a bad idea because Oberto has a lot of big game experience.
He can still play with balls on the bench.
With the way he played the other night, starting or not, wouldn't make a difference.No no no, clearly, that would destroy the Spurs' bench, and clearly, the team with the better bench, not the starting 5, wins the game.
this is defenitively not about manu coming from the bench or not...
he just has to step up when he is on the floor, no matter when it is
leave manu on the bench. he just needs to get his head out of his ass
But by starting that would give manu more pt time and more confidence. Manu is getting doubled when duncan and or parker is not on the floor so he cant do anything. But if he were on the floor with the starting 5 he would become more free and the lanes would be open more. Karl is making sure manu cant do anything. I say atleast give it a try for this series. We also need to play bowen more. Come on 19 min was a joke. ITS PLAYOFF TIME AND THAT MEANS PLAYOFF MIN.
Im all for more mins for Bowen.
give manu more PT and confidence?
Ginobili needs confidence now?
Agrees. Manu coming form the bench still has the starter's minutes. Manu don't need more playing time. Manu needs to "play" ball.
Let George Karl feel your wrath in game 2.
Manu strives on anger and confidence, the starting line up would help manu get his confidence going and with all the starters on the floor the lanes would be more open.
Manu jacked up 10 shots in 4 minutes last night and made one.
WTF?
From the Book of Manu 4:23
"And his disciples looked upon their saviour and said
'GET THY TOGETHER!'
And Manu replied
'Uhhhhhh... okay.'"
