Hopefully he didn't run off somewhere with Dirk.
just curious.
Hopefully he didn't run off somewhere with Dirk.
Condemned beat me to the punch.
His Offense was dirkering () all the game, but 8 rb 4 ast and "0"turnovers isn't bad
Yeah, it's not like his ty shooting had much of an affect on the game. He didn't shoot too many FGs, the most he ed up with were those few FTs at the end.His Offense was dirkering (
The Spurs could use him on the offensive side though, he needs to start getting after it, but then again his opportunities were more limited this game because of those 2 early bull foul calls, and then Timmy and Tony both went off for 30+ points.
People are getting too worried about Manu's performance today. Considering the above, I'm not too worried.
I want to see him own the Suns. That's all.
Its been very unusual to see him struggle like this. Manu fell in love with the 3 this year and its had an impact on his driving to the basket. For Manu to be at his best, he needs to get to the rim.
I'm glad we won and Manu did a good job on the boards but the missed FT's and his lack of aggressiveness is bizzare. I hope he goes off on Tuesday. He's due.
Manu is gonna play well when we need him the most.
Like.... when Timmy will suck ass or Tony.
We didn't need his scoring today, but we sure will tuesday.

I still have 100% confidence in Manu.
He got this.
uncalled for. dude has been critical in 2 championships... don't forget how he nutted up in the closing minutes of game 7 of the 05 championship and willed us to another le. dirk could only dream of carrying manu's jock. manu is having a tough time this playoff run, but he's proven he is a big time player with heart.
Notice that I used the key word "hopefully".
Meaning that there's still time for him to find his game and revert into playoff Manu.
I have plenty of confidence in him, but he didn't look too hot today. You'd have to admit that as well.
Yet he still contributed in other ways from scoring. The mark of a great player.
I'm not worried. He scored 5 quick points off the bench, then got into foul trouble. That disrupted his rhythm. Let's see what happens.
agree. offensively he looked lost and seemed to be trying to hard. I have complete confidence he'll snap out of it. manu and tp were born to burn teams like the suns.
Or Brent Barry?
I think people are worried because his 2007 playoffs have been horrible, Finleys been saving his ass every night
I've criticized his performance as much as anyone, but it's only because I'm so used to seeing more points from him. Nine rebounds ain't too shabby and a few of them came at critical times today. We've said that 2 of our main 3 need to be the big scorers. Today, Timmy and Tony were those 2. Luckily, we haven't been in a serious position yet to really need Manu. When it's time, he'll be there.
Think back to 05. Game 1 WCF agasint the Suns. What happend at 12:00 in the 1Q? Manu ripped that jump ball out of Nash's hands and dunked that pile of and had a 32 or something point game. If Manu comes off the bench or starts, Pop needs to setup a play first to get Manu an easy basket/layup/dunk. That will greatly increase his confidence to drive in and that opens up his three game. Manu has even admitted that he plays much more comfortably when his first 2-3 attempts go in and if he misses early on he'll become too passive and miss later on.
I don't think there is anything to worry about.
He'll be ok. He's Manu.
Just a mather of time.
Next 2 games at the at&t would be a good time.
manu plays better at home then on the road during the playoffs
tp plays better on the road though
right now I would rathe mike finley shot the three then manu
manu is sucking outside with his shot
Finley is picking up the slack, and may be able to do it playoff-long. But it would sure be nice to see a better Manu Ginobili.
Manu's recent play reminds me of the way he plays for his national team. He kind of manages the game by doing whatever is necessary for his team to win. He will pick his spots offensively and become more aggressive if the team needs it.
Finley is hot right now and TP was scorching today so it made sense for him to defer. Really, does anyone think Manu isn't gonna do something special this series?
