Manu averages 5 turnovers a quarter and now he is the savior? which game are we talking about?
He averages. 20 turnovers a game?
Oh wait. You were using exaggeration to put down Manu.
Try again Willow.
Did you watch the game or were you bowling?
A week ago, Manu was terrible. How the Spurs fans forget.
Al least manu makes some effort, not like that mediocre player called rasho
and your point?
The thread is about this game... Manu in the fourth.
Manu is hardly EVER terrible, people tend to think just because he doesn't score 20 ppg he's in a slump. They aren't looking at the whole game...they don't look at what doesn't come packaged in a neat little box score.
Manu was Mr.4th Quarter tonight. He got the team going again after that horrendous 3rd. He does what needs to be done, he doesn't give up no matter what happens, you can always count on him to play...to just simply play. I love him!
I can count at least 5 games this year that Manu should have been selling cotton candy in Club 200.
And I can count at least 23 games this year where you've ed about anything and everything, so what's your pointI can count at least 5 games this year that Manu should have been selling cotton candy in Club 200.
Probably the five we lost huh?
Wonder what that says about him?
Or maybe what it says about you.
Hmm... could you please enlighten us and tell us which five games? Note that you said at least, which means even more than five.
Seattle twice.
Toronto, Memphis and Houston.
And there were a few others which the Spurs won even though hot dog was in full mode.
I'll give you Toronto and Memphis, but the 2nd Seattle and the Houston game...even our own MVP was making stupid mistakes in CRUCIAL minutes. So should Tim have been up there with the beer and soda?Seattle twice.
Toronto, Memphis and Houston.
Manu is inconsistent and usually out of control. Funny, he didn't play like that while he was in the olympics.
Is it going to take Hubie to show him how to play ball?
Sequ,
You are just starting sheyittt
Should I take you seriously?
Let's see Manu in our five losses:
Nov07at SuperSonics 94-113 L 26 7-12 3-6 4-6 0 4 4 2 1 0 4 6 21
Pretty good game (he was the best Spurs' player statistically!)
Nov21at Raptors 91-96 L 37 4-11 0-3 2-4 0 2 2 3 0 1 2 1 10
Bad game
Nov22at Grizzlies 90-93 L 28 1-8 0-0 4-4 4 2 6 4 2 0 4 3 6
Bad game
Dec08vsSuperSonics 96-102 L 33 4-14 3-5 7-7 3 1 4 1 2 0 2 4 18
A so and so game, not that bad. He missed lots of 2 pt attempts, but hit his FTs and got assists, rebounds, steals, etc. PC score of 13, PC/min 0.394 (2nd best Spur statistically)
Dec09at Rockets 80-81 L 29 4-11 3-6 2-2 1 4 5 2 1 1 2 0 13
Another so and so game. PC score of 13, PC/min 0.448(certainly not bad, 3rd best Spur statistically)
As you can see, faaaaar from selling cotton candy in Club 200
In other words, you have no point. Are you assuming that a player has to play good every single game? Not even Duncan can do that, and he is arguably a top 3 player in the league.
Be happy with the Spurs' win and stop ing... There are...
Good Times
ahead!
When did Manu start using that Iceman Patented finger Roll? Seems to me he's got alot of offensive weapons to choose from.
In the olympics, he was the team leader, here he assumes the rol of 2nd or 3rd man. But, now that i notice, when manu plays bad, the spurs loose.
"Manu start using that Iceman Patented finger Roll"
That caught my eye right away. I wonder if he has been practicing it or it just came spontaneously? An excellent addition to those finishes where the low paint is too clogged to lay it in.

No where near as good as Ice's fingerroll. , Ice could do it from the FT line over Jabbar.
what the ? Manu has to have a great game every game?
Give me a break.
Tonight was a great game for Bueno Udrih we should be talking about that.
Sequ, funnyman, the fact that Manu is not scoring 20 pts per game does not mean he should be selling candy in the stands.
And you chose this game to bust his chops!
He is the reason we won the game, you nitwitt. The come back was sparked by Manu. Were you watching the game at all?
Here are some quotes from the Spurs Home Page:
"Ginobili scored 11 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter as the Spurs stormed back from a 10-point deficit for a 94-91 victory over the Orlando Magic."
"Ginobili gave the Spurs a boost by scoring 11 of his 17 points in the fourth quarter."
"Quiet to that point, Ginobili displayed some of his trademark energy in the final period. He had a 3-pointer, a pair of driving layups and two free throws to close the gap to 82-80 with 6:52 to go."
" 'He played with poise,' Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said. 'He picked and chose. He did a good job passing the ball when in a crowd and a good job going to the hole when it was open.' "
He has not been playing at the top of his game (he was for the first six games) but he is not sucking.
I guess you next post will be:
Manu = Manure
and
Griceck > Manu
Goofball

Manu has to be one of the mentally toughest guys on the team. Last night Pop pulls him in the first for a "bad shot" at 5 minutes, pulls him in the second because Hedo hit a three, pulled him in the 3rd at 3 minutes because he went for a steal and missed....then the guy comes back in the 4th and plays a MAJOR role in winning a game that wouldn't have been as close if Pop wasn't so determined to punish every play he doesn't like.
Manu is a man amongst men. I prefer the errors of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom. He is an animal when turned loose. GO MANU!!!!!!
